Chapter 2: Question (2)
***
“We can go to a restaurant or even the movies.” Jayden suggested, while looking at his lover’s naked body, he didn’t feel anything at that moment. ‘I remember when I couldn’t keep my hands to myself while looking at him like that… yet now… I don’t even feel like trying since I know he’ll push me away.’
“I don’t feel like it.” Anthony said sternly as he rubbed himself dry with a towel then put on a shirt and a pair of boxers.
“Do you ever feel like it…” Jayden murmured quietly to himself.
“Did you say something?” Anthony asked as he turned around to his lover.
“Nothing. Then let’s spend time at home as usual. Do you want me to buy something different for dinner?” Jayden asked as he rose from the bed, he was already fully awake.
“Whatever you get’s fine with me.” Anthony turned and walked out of the room after giving his reply. It seemed like he didn’t care at all about anything. Not a hint of emotion could be heard in his voice.
‘In the past he’d always give me a kiss and blush cutely before leaving the room…’ Jayden thought to himself, the more he remembered the past, the more disappointed he became with the present.

Jayden went to work and spend the entire day buried in paperwork. He didn’t even get a chance to get out of his office because of the abnormal amount of work he was left with. Several of his colleges hadn’t come that day and all of their tasks were left with him.
‘I’m starting to think they purposefully leave all the work to me…’ Jayden thought to himself as he headed back home. He still managed to finish work earlier than expected since he was a fast worker.
‘I’ll bring him something sweet… To cheer him up…’ Jayden went into a bakery and bought a pricey cheesecake that his lover might like.
Walking through the streets of their small town in which nothing interesting ever happened, Jayden saw a couple walking hand in hand.
‘When was the last time Anthony allowed me to hold his hand?’ Jayden wondered to himself as he watched the couple.
It was a woman with short black hair, visibly in her early thirties. She wasn’t particularly beautiful but the man that was holding her hand seemed to look at her with such adoration; that you’d think to him she was probably the rarest of beauties.
‘I wonder if he’ll ever want to hold my hand again…’ Jayden wondered as he walked ever so slowly through the streets. It had already gotten dark outside despite it being just six a clock in the evening.
The street lamps shined with a humble light that was nearly enough to make the road visible. Several street lamps were also broken and parts of the road were still as dark as if there was no source of light at all.
Jayden slowly made his way home and unlocked the door. “I’m back.” He said but his lover didn’t meet him at the door. ‘He must be sleeping already…’ Jayden thought to himself as he took off his shoes and put on his slippers.
He left the cheesecake on the kitchen counter then made his way upstairs to take a shower. ‘I should probably check up on him… He’s been so tired lately, it might be a cold.’ He thought to himself as he got near the bedroom, strange sounds had started filling his ears as he did.
‘Hm? Is he… fapping?’ Jayden wondered as he carefully opened the door just to look inside. To his surprise his lover wasn’t alone…
“Ugh… haah… g-go a bit slower!” Anthony moaned as he held on desperately to the other male’s back.
“How come you’re so into it today? Did you fight with your husband again today?” The other male asked while thrusting inside roughly. He seemed like he had no intention of stopping any time soon.
“S-shut up! Just do me, s-slower!” Anthony continued moaning in the arms of this man.
The worst part to Jayden wasn’t even the fact that his lover and husband was cheating on him. The worst part was that he knew who the other male was…
‘Travis… you really are a lowlife…’ He thought to himself as he watched the two males going at it.
Jayden didn’t feel much of anything at that point. He knew his lover didn’t love him anymore, he’s known that for a while. And he couldn’t even get mad at his friend Travis for sleeping with his lover since he also knew his friend’s feelings from a long time ago.
He knew everything, thus felt nothing at the scene.
‘I would be more surprised if he tried to hide it…’ Jayden thought to himself as he opened the door and walked inside. The two males that were still locked in a passionate embrace were frozen stiff at the other’s presence…
“Jayden…” Anthony murmured as he saw his lover casually take off his coat as if nothing had happened.
“I’m back.” Jayden said as he took off his shirt, then pants and headed for the bathroom.
“Welcome… back…” Anthony murmured as he watched the other’s back…
