Thomas played with the food on his plate looking at the empty seat in front of him. Late, again... 

He sighed as he looked at the clock. He sighed as he motioned to the waiter to put his food to go and ask for the check feeling down. It was the fourth time in the month James didn't show up at their date. 

And Thomas was starting to get tired of it. Whenever he tried to come with any sort of detail or activity with James, he always came out with an excuse or an apologize later, always promising that maybe the next time but always breaking it.

After getting his food he took a cab to their apartment. He wasn't in the mood to talk with the driver, he just wanted to lay down and probably get some sleep. 

When he arrived, however, he heard sounds coming from the bedroom. He slowly put the leftovers at the kitchenette's table before walking to the place where he heard the strange noises.

He managed his way through the empty bottles of beer in the floor staining the carpet that he might clean later. Then he heard something that made his blood boiled in anger and broke his heart in pieces. 

"Oh~ James~!" Another person said from their shared room. 

He kicked the door that wasn't even closed and wished he could be dreaming, that was he was seeing was just a fucking nightmare. Unfortunately, it was real.

James was with another man having an affair. That man, in particular, was one of James' coworkers that Thomas met during a Christmas party at James' work. He looked like a good man. Or, at least, that's what Thomas thought.

Thomas felt the tears started to form as he found the strength to say something. "HOW COULD YOU?!" He sounded beyond hurt. 

"Th-Thomas, wha-what are you doing here?!" James asked as the other man get off of him and hide in the bathroom.

"I just returned from our date. I waited for you for three hours. I come back home aND I FOUND YOU LIKE THIS?!" He said shaking his head and started to run to the door. 

"Thomas, wait!" James said getting up and put some underwear on before following him and grabbing him by the wrist.

Thomas snatched his hand back at him. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!" 

"Listen, the things weren't functioning, ok? You never had time for me and-" James was cut off by Thomas slapping his cheek.

"I NEVER HAD TIME FOR YOU?! I ALWAYS MADE TIME FOR US! I PLANNED MULTIPLE DATES, I LEFT EARLY FROM WORK TO COME HOME AND PREPARE YOU DINNER THAT YOU NEVER EAT! I MOVED WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME TO DO IT! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO ALL WHAT YOU ASKED ME TO DO! I WAS THERE FOR YOU ALL THE TIME, TRYING TO BE A GOOD FIANCE BECAUSE I LOVED YOU!" He yelled as the tears started to fall.

James looked at him before Thomas walked to the door as he took off his ring and threw it to the trashcan. "But I wasn't enough, isn't it?"

"Thomas, wait... I can change... Try to do the things right..." James said looking at him with the small hope that Thomas would believe him. Thomas wasn't an idiot, he was deeply in love with him, but not anymore.

"Have a good life, James... I'll come to pick up my things later in the week... I hope you and Aaron have a good relationship..." then he dedicated a sad smile at him. "He seems to be better than me on pleasing you..." 

And with that Thomas left James alone in the living room.
