Aiden was feeling restless. The encounter with his parents was disturbing enough, but right now, the thing that troubled him even more was that Noah would reject him.
" Can you tell me what's going on?" Noah asked, sitting beside Aiden on his bed.
" T-They just wanted to meet me."
" Why after so many years?" Noah asked, scrunching his brows. " ...And why did he hurt you?" He traced his fingers against the bandage on Aiden's wrist.
" Ummmm... T-They..." Aiden was thinking about what to say so that Noah wouldn't hate him because of his deranged family.
" We have been together for around six months now, but you still cannot open up to me," Noah said in a hurtful tone making Aiden look up to him.
" No...It's not that," Aiden said hurriedly.
" Then why don't you tell me anything? Don't you trust me?"
" I trust you, Noah...but I-I am scared."
" Scared of what?"
Aiden choked up, unable to say anything but Noah was determined to get everything out of him. " Please tell me, Aiden. What are you scared of?"
" Y-You m-might hate me," Aiden said, trying to stop his tears.
" What? Why will I hate you?" Noah asked, shocked.
" O-Once you learn about my family, you will surely hate me. Everyone did."
"God, Aiden!" Noah exclaimed and hugged him tightly. When Aiden uttered those words, his eyes were filled with immense pain, and at that moment, Noah knew that whatever Aiden had to say was certainly not good.
Aiden clung to Noah feeling insecure. His mind was all over the place. He dreaded his first-ever relationship was bound to fail. The happy bubble he had been living in for the past few months would burst soon. He wished he could hide his past forever and still hoped Noah would let the matter slide, but his hopes were shattered when he heard Noah's words.
" Tell me your worst. I assure you, whatever you say, it is not going to diminish my love for you."
Aiden wasn't convinced; however, he couldn't stall Noah anymore. He had to tell him. He took a deep breath and said, " M-My parents were in prison for the last ten years."
" Okay...?" Noah was not much phased by that information. " That's pretty obvious as you told me they abused you, right?"
" T-That wasn't the main reason they went to prison."
" Then?"
"T-They robbed others of money and even conned numerous people..."
Aiden looked at Noah, who had a shocked expression. " ...And they even f-forced me to assist them on several occasions."
Noah was dumbfounded and couldn't say anything. It's no wonder Aiden was worried; his parents are criminals. But will that change his love for Aiden? Not in the least.
When Noah didn't reply, Aiden got tensed. It's over. Noah's going to break up with him now. What could he do to stop him? Aiden desperately held Noah's hands and pleaded frantically with tears in his eyes, " I-I am sorry. I never wanted to do it. They beat me up if I refused to help them...A-Are you ashamed of me and my family? A-Are you going to break up with me?"
Noah was confused about why Aiden would think he would break up with him for something which was not even his fault.
" ... I-I will do anything. I-I will even sleep with you..."
" Hold on, Aiden. I will never break up with you. Why would you even think that?" Noah asked, holding Aiden's arms.
" Y-You didn't say anything..." Aiden whispered, wiping his tears. " A-Are you not leaving?"
" Of course not. I wasn't lying when I said I couldn't live without you. Even if I want, I can't leave..."
" So... do you want to...? Aiden asked in fear.
" F**k no...!!!" Noah suddenly pulled Aiden towards himself and kissed him. The kiss was soothing and an assurance to Aiden that they would always be together. Their tongues started moving in a rhythmic tone, and their lips departed after a few seconds. " I love you... Aiden," Noah whispered out of breath.
" I love you too," Aiden uttered those words for the first time.
Noah stiffened up, and his heart leaped. " Say it again," he said huskily.
" I love you, Noah, I truly do," Aiden said without any doubt, and Noah kissed him again, pushing him onto the bed. Noah leaned against Aiden's chest and pulled him closer. He held Aiden's head, deepening the kiss, and kissed him until they were both out of breath.
Noah stared at Aiden's eyes, and the area surrounding them screamed lust. He wanted more, more than just a kiss. " Were you serious about wanting to sleep with me, or did you say it out of desperation?"
" I-I..." Aiden felt embarrassed, and his cheeks had a light blush painted on them.
" You don't want to?" Noah looked disappointed.
"I want to.." Aiden said hurriedly and covered his face with his arms looking away.
" Are you sure? I can wait until you are ready," Noah said in a hoarse voice. He was aroused right now, but at the same time, he didn't want to force Aiden.
Aiden peeked at Noah and was filled with gratification. Noah's eyes screamed of need and lust, but still, he was trying to control himself for Aiden's sake. At that moment, Aiden was sure he would do anything for Noah, and he wanted to give himself entirely to him. He pulled Noah closer and whispered into his ears, " Take me, Noah. Make me yours."
Noah was instantly hard after hearing those words. Soon, he was kissing Aiden again. He kissed him on the lips, the cheek, his neck, and along his collar bone in a slow, attentive rhythm.
Noah slowly unbuttoned Aiden's shirt and threw it aside. He continued kissing lower and lower over his chest. He sucked and licked while Aiden struggled to calm his breathing at the tingling sensation.
Noah hurriedly lifted his arms, and his shirt landed on the floor, followed by his pants. His thumbs hooked themselves on Aiden's pants and pulled them down. He took a moment to admire when he noticed the numerous scars on Aiden's body which had almost faded and were only visible when observed clearly.
" Don't look," Aiden said, feeling ashamed and trying to hide his body.
" You don't have to hide from me. You are always beautiful in my eyes."
Noah then continued teasing Aiden, running his hands around his arms and kissing him on each of his visible scars. Aiden shivered softly as he felt goosebumps all through his body.
Immediately, Noah's hand grasped Aiden's member squeezing and pulling lightly on it while sucking on the tip. Aiden groaned, gripping Noah's hair and tugging softly. " Do you like this feeling?" Noah asked huskily while Aiden replied by moaning in pleasure.
" I can't control much longer," Noah muttered and ground himself against Aiden. He suddenly got up and rushed towards his shelf and returned with a bottle of lube and condoms. Aiden blushed as he saw the items in Noah's hands.
" I guess you are a virgin...?" Noah asked in anticipation and was relieved when Aiden nodded, looking flustered.
" The first time might be a bit painful. Can you bear with me?"
" I-I can handle pain," Aiden whispered.
" This pain is different, and I bet soon you will be squirming in pleasure." Noah stuck two fingers into his mouth and sucked them. Aiden gasped when he felt Noah's fingers sliding into him.
" Calm down. You will feel better." Noah placed a kiss on Aiden's forehead and moved his fingers at a slow pace. After a few minutes, Noah pulled his fingers out and grabbed a lube bottle. Aiden felt the cold gel on his hole and peeked at Noah, who then lubed his own hard member.
" Are you ready?" Noah asked one final time, putting on the condom.
" Yes," Aiden replied softly.
Noah held Aiden's hips, placed himself at his entrance, and slowly entered him. Aiden cried out as he felt himself stretching up.
" Relax, Aiden. I promise I won't hurt you." Noah placed a few kisses on his neck and shoulder to calm him down. Aiden tried to relax when Noah moved slowly, making sure not to hurt him. He moaned with each thrust as slowly the pain turned into pleasure. The thrusts gradually increased, and Aiden gripped Noah's arms for support. Aiden bit his lip to stop himself from screaming in ecstasy when Noah hit the spot over and over again. He felt himself getting close to the climax.
" Noah...I think I am..." Aiden screamed out as he came.
" Ahhh...f**k, Aiden!!" Noah yelled and came at the same time.
Aiden was panting as he felt like he was on cloud nine. Noah pulled out and collapsed right beside Aiden.
" That was awesome!!" Noah exclaimed in satisfaction and pulled Aiden closer to him. " Are you okay? Does it hurt?" he asked in concern.
" I am fine, Noah. You don't have to worry so much about me."
" I love you, Aiden."
" I love you too, Noah," Aiden said and slept peacefully in Noah's arms.
After that night, Aiden's relationship with Noah improved noticeably. They had grown closer and shared everything. Aiden's parents had approached him again for money but had to flee when Noah threatened them with the Police.
The four years at the University passed by in a blur, and it was nothing but pure bliss. Aiden had completed his Computer Science Engineering, and as expected, he had topped in his University and had already got a job at a reputed company.
It was the day of Aiden's graduation ceremony, and he was eagerly waiting for Noah to come. Noah had already graduated a year ago and was now working as an Editor in his Dad's publishing firm. His recent romantic novel was a best seller and was even nominated for an award.
" What took you so long?" Aiden pouted when he saw Noah rushing toward him.
"I was preparing for the graduation present."
" You don't have to give me a graduation present."
" It's more of a present for me than you, " Noah muttered under his breath when his friends Jay and Rob joined them.
" F**ker!!" Rob screamed. " How can you just leave the car in the middle of the road and run off?"
" I was dying to see my love," Noah said, looking at Aiden, who blushed.
" More like leaving us to die," Rob scoffed.
" Come on, let's go to the Auditorium, " Aiden said. " The ceremony has already started."
" Then why are you still here, Dude? Aren't you getting an award?" Jay asked.
" I was waiting for you guys," Aiden said, and they all walked towards the Auditorium. They were all at the entrance when they heard the announcer call for the chief guest. Aiden suddenly stopped when he heard the familiar name after many years; the cause of his nightmares - Dylan Hunt.
