His New Toy

You can trust us

[Erick's POV]

“Are you getting off my back any time soon” I asked half laughing as I poured myself a glass of orange juice “Do you want some?”

He tightened his grip around my neck “No and no” he said softly before burrowing his head in my neck

Since opening up to me he has definitely taken the term clingy to a whole new level

But I wouldn't change anything.

I know he's probably not used to depending on someone like this

So in a messed up twisted kind of way, I felt special.

My shoulder suddenly become wet.

I didn't say anything. Sometimes people just need a shoulder to cry on and that's what I've been for the past couple of days and what I will be for him. Until he didn't cry over what happened any more.

Until then I couldn't forgive myself.

[Max's POV]

We both sat in the livingroom, my head resting on Erick's lap.

My heart would flutter pathetically everytime Erick's hand brushed through my hair. I just hope it wasn't showing on my face.

“You're not finding it funny?” he asked me, his eyes laced with concern.

He put on Two and a Half Men, it was my favourite show until now, I just didn't- couldn't find it funny.

In fact I didn't really find anything funny anymore.

“I've completely destroyed you haven't I?” he mumbled softly. It was barely a whisper. I'm not sure if I he wanted me to hear. Looking up at him confirmed my thoughts. He was staring off into the distance looking almost...broken?

Turning my head back to the screen I waited.

I burst out laughing with the studio audience causing Erick to flinch in surprise. Why I was laughing I don't know but if it made Erick stop beating himself up, then I will.

I didn't look up at him so I didn't give myself away.

“I really do love you Max”

I turned my head away as I felt my cheeks heat up, distracting myself I asked “Are you sad?”

He turned my head gently so we were looking at each other again “How can I be when I have you?” in and instant he brought his lips down onto mine, kissing me softly.

We gazed longingly at each other before I couldn't take it anymore, I looked back at the T.V my face flushed.

After a comfortable silence I began thinking about Darren and then I voiced out my thoughts “How's Darren?” I asked, noticing that I hadn't seen him since Christmas.

His body became stiff. Did I say something wrong?

“Why?” he asked, his eyes boring into mine

“I just haven't see him in ages, that's all”

“I know I can be a douche sometimes but just bear with me when I'm really bad okay?” his voice wavering a bit

I looked up curiously “Where did that come from?”

He looked away smiling, it was obvious he was uncomfortable talking about this “I'm just trying to say, I'm not as nice as Darren and I don't want you leaving me because I was a prick”

I nodded seriously “Okay”

“Okay” he smiled

He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out the chain that he got me for Christmas

“Oh no” I groaned half laughing “I hate that chain”

“Why?” he asked puzzled “I love it” he would wouldn't he- if it said Max on one side and Erick on the other that would be fine but- it says Max on one side and Erick's

“It makes me feel like I belong to you”

He knitted his brows in genuine confusion “I don't understand...you do belong to me”

I laughed dryly rolling my eyes “Right...” I got up and walked towards the kitchen. I groaned internally as I heard Erick's footsteps behind me. In a moment of seconds I felt his arms wrap around my waist and his head on my shoulder

“I don't get the joke” he sounded genuinely confused

“I don't belong to you or anyone Erick” I stated my voice light. I don't think I would have the courage to say this if I was looking at him

He brought his lips closer to my ear and whispered “Oh yeah?”

“Y-Yeah” I stammered he sounded way to confident

“I could always show you if you don't believe me” he began to lick the back of my ear and I squirmed relentlessly under his tight hold

“No! No! I'm fine! I believe you!” My voice trembling

Erick put the chain on my neck and kissed my cheek. “Good boy” with that he laughed walking away “Make sure you sleep early as well, we have a long day tomorrow!” he shouted from the top of the stairs

“Whatever” I mumbled wiping the saliva off my ear

….....................................................

[Darren's POV]

I stood outside Erick's door trying to muster the confidence to knock and hopefully Max will be the one that opens it. Whilst I was contemplating knocking or not the door swung open. It was Erick with two bags in his hand, once he took note of me he became angry.

“What the fuck are you doing here Darren?”

“What the hell is your problem!? I thought you would be more understanding than this!” my voice starting to lose its confidence

“Look!” he snapped “I already told you at the hospital and I told you again when we met up- stay the hell away from him” I was seriously getting tired of him claiming people like he bought them.

“I can't!” I shouted, and feeling extremely frustrated “I'm sick and fucking tired of lying down so you can have what you want”

“I lost him once to that stupid bitch Chris, then I almost lost him for real and I'm just getting him back”

“I'm not losing him again”

I crossed my arms stubbornly showing him, I wasn't changing my mind

“Darren” he sighed running frustrated hand through his hair, he looked at me almost pleading “He's finally opening up to me, he's smiling more- We're getting closer...Don't do this”

“Erick, I've tried but I can't do this anymore. I love-”

“Okay Erick, I've got the final bag, Let's go” I watched him in awe as he closed the door behind him. He finally looked up taking notice of me “Darren!” he grinned

“Hey”

Quickening his pace towards me “Its been ages” I opened my arms which he happily accepted. I embraced him tightly in my arms, taking in everything about him in.

“I've missed you” I admitted

“Me too” he smiled, breaking the hug

“Come on Max we're gonna be late”

Max turned around to a very annoyed Erick “Chill Erick, I'm only going to be 5 minutes”

Erick shot me the most dirtiest look, much to Max's confusion “Nope we're going” he grabbed Max by his hand and threw him into the passenger's seat and locked the car

He banged on the window his voice coming out muffled “What the fuck Erick!?”

Erick then turned to me “I'm warning you Darren”

“What? You think I'm going to crazy like Chris?”

“I don't know”

“Come on Erick” I scoffed “You know me better that”

“Whatever just stay away from us”

[Max's POV]

He slammed the door grunting slightly. Pushing the button, the car roared to life and he sped away.

“What's going on Erick?” completely baffled by the situation that unfolded

“Nothing, nothing” he sighed

I left it there, if he needed to tell me something he would tell me.

I hope.

“So” he began changing the subject “What's this charity event, your Mom so desperately needed me to drop you at?”

“Oh our Church hosts like this big Charity event, once a year but I don't know why I needed to come, considering she hates me”

He ruffled my hair “She doesn't hate you, she was just angry”

I rearrange my hair causing Erick to chuckle “You're not nervous she doesn't know that we're going out?”

“Nope” he stated casually popping the P. The car slowed down behind the other cars and he turned to look at me a sloppy grin plastered on his face

“W-what?” I asked “Why are you smiling?”

“We're going out ey?” he asked grinning

“Y-Yeah aren't we?”

“So I guess we're like boyfriend and boyfriend huh?” he stated chuckling

“Are you okay?” I asked a small smile forming on my face

“Yeah, I'm just happy, I've been waiting for this for quite a while”

“Oh” I gazed out of my window smiling “Me too”

He grabbed my hand not taking his eyes off the road as the other cars began too move “I mean it this time Max, I'm not letting anyone take you away from me”

And I believed him.

[Erick's POV]

“Crap” I muttered as we pulled into the car park,

Max's parents and Maddie were in the car park waiting.

I pulled up right next to them and got out of the car, Max soon followed looking nervous

Max's Mom watched the both of closely and we both stared back in confusion.

“Baby, why don't you help take one of Max's bags in Church”

“Okay” Maddie grabbed the smallest bag smiling at both me and Max “Hey Erick”

“Hi Maddie” I smiled

She quickly gave her brother a hug and ran off

“Honey why don't you grab a bag too”

His father sighed picking up both bags whilst shaking his head. He hugged his son and shook my hand firmly. I really liked his Dad.

I was confused as to why she was sending everyone away. I just pray to God that I'm not left alone with that woman

“Tell your parents I said Thank you Erick” I nodded smiling, it would be better not to say that they weren't around.

“Hey mom” Max said nervously. I smiled softly at how cute he looked

“Max, just go in” she nodded her head towards the small church behind her not even paying him a second glance

“Okay” He whispered. He walked away but not before waving at me. I waved back in return. Suddenly I felt anxious.

She glanced behind her making sure Max had entered the church. Before turning her hard gaze on me. I'm sure her mood was the same colors as what she was wearing Black and grey.

“We need to talk Erick”

“Okay...” I replied unsure

She sighed putting her hands on her hips “So I'm just going to come straight out with this since there is no easier way of saying this. I need you and Darren to keep away from my son for the time being”

“W-what?” I asked surprised. I was so used to saying that to other people it was kinda shocking to hear it from someone else.

She sighed “Erick, before Max came to your fathers school he had no male friends and I was worried for him because he ended up feeling left out and lonely and he was bullied” I nodded imagining that, I instantly felt sad “But then in a short space of time he had made three and he turned one of them gay and look what has happened to my son. I tell you now Erick, I would have rather had Max paralysed from the neck down that have him-” she paused trying to get rid of the disgust on her face and while I was trying to wrap my head round what she was saying “Raped” she gagged on the word

“Mrs-” I tried to contest the idea because if she told me to stay away from him I would actually have to do it.

“Erick I know you're quite fond of Max but I don't you to end up developing things for him as well”

Too late for that

“Or Darren”

Too late for that too

“I-”

She place a firm grip on my shoulder and smiled cutting me off “I'm so happy you understand and if you don't...then I will have no problem pulling Max from your school” with that she walked away leaving me more confused.

Stay away?

…................................................................................................

[Max's POV]

We all sighed in heavy union, bored out of our minds

“Dad when are we leaving?” Madeline whined

“I don't know kiddo whenever your mom is ready for us to leave” we always stayed for hours when it came to events, mom would run about and socialise while we wait. The church was still buzzing with people, tables set out everywhere with people buying and selling things

Madeline moped. “And she never buys anything! Why do we even come?” that wasn't necessarily true, she always got my dad to buy something and it would always be something that we never use.

“When you see her you can ask her” my dad chuckled “You okay Max? You can complain you know”

I smiled softly at my dad and nodded, I didn't want to say anything that would put me out of place more than I already am.

“I don't even see her!” Madeline cried as she searched for her mom

I joined her in the search, scanning the room from my seat I came to the same conclusion “Neither do-” then I saw her, in a corner of talking to two girls, it looked like Serenity and Trinity but I wasn't too sure, they were quite a distance away. My mom dipped her hand into her purse and slipped them each something...what was it?

What the hell was she up too?

….........................................................................

I washed my hands and put them under the dryer, letting the mild heat dry them.

“Hey Max” my head snapped in confusion towards the voices who called out for me

“Serenity...Trinity?” I asked baffled as they strolled into the restroom

“How does he do it?” Serenity pouted. Sometimes I didn't even know myself because no one could ever really tell them apart but Serenity seemed to have more freckles than Trinity and they both did little things that I don't think they even notice that they do. Like Serenity tends to bite on her lip whilst you would find Trinity tilting her head to the side.

“You know this is the Mens rest room right...?”

“We know” they said in union

“We've never been able to resist you Max” Trinity growled playfully and it was true when I was a more frequent member of church they would stop at nothing to try and turn me on but they failed so miserably it was hilarious. I think they only do it now to make me feel awkward as hell

“And you're looking extra fine today” Serenity squealed

“Aha thank you” I smiled “You ladies look beautiful as always” and it was true, they were slightly tanned girls with reddish/brownish hair and grey/blue eyes. Today they were wearing slightly tight dresses maybe to tight for church revealing all their curves, I can see why the guys here are always drooling over them

“Oh Max” they both sighed dreamily heavily fueled with sarcasm

I laughed- I loved these girls, I felt comfortable talking to them, sure they cooed over me like the others but there was no secret motive behind it.

They stopped laughing their faces slightly serious “W-What is it?”

Serenity narrowed her eyes at me suspiciously “Your mom paid us to...” she looked at Trinity for help chewing on her lip

“To seduce you Max” Trinity stated tilting her head to the side

“W-What the hell!?” I spluttered

“Yeah you wanna explain that?” I sighed I'm sure someone could easily guess why.

I scratched my head awkwardly

“Its nothing really...”

“Does it have anything to do with that broken hand?” Serenity asked not believing my lie

I sighed “Yeah”

“Come on Max- you know you can tell us anything” Trinity stated serious

“Its not that” I just don't know if I can relive it again

“Max” Serenity smiled placing a comforting hand on my shoulder

“We're not forcing you to say anything you don't want to say” Trinity finished placing her hand on my free shoulder

I shook my head, I told them about what happened to me in Richmond, hell they were the only people that knew that weren't my family.

Come to think of it I haven't shared what happened to anybody.

“Well I think I guess I should start by saying...” taking a deep breath I watched their blank faces “I'm gay”

shock filled their eyes as they listened intently. My eyes burned as I let the memory fill my head “I-”

“Don't say anymore” Trinity whispered her hand clamped over my mouth. She clung onto my arm whilst Serenity opened the door

“Where are we going?” Serenity clung onto my other hand

“We're going home duh” they stated

“Chocolates and tissues and chocolate”

“You already said chocolates” I sniffed as we walked out of the church and towards their yellow Jeep.

“Yep and by telling from your face in there seems like we're gonna need lots of it”
