Lucien always took Adam's hand, it always made him worry.

-Why are you doing this?

-Because i like you

-People will be watching..

-I don't care about people, Adam.

Lucien always smoked on these walks. He liked to smoke one cigarette with him and then kiss his hot lips. Then. heart was beating like crazy. and then it was necessary to return home with quick steps to give free rein to more passionate feelings.

..........................

Оne day when Adam went outside without Lucien, his father unexpectedly approached him. He was so scared, but his father just handed Adam his phone, wallet and keys to the apartment.

-All charges were dropped. When you come to your senses, go back to work and study, don't be a fool.

-how did you find me.?

-And call your mother at least once a day.

-Father!

He just walked away leaving Adam upset in the middle of the street. He was ashamed and hurt, but he expected the worst. He thought that his dad would give up on him when he found out that he and Eliot had sex, that he ran away from home to live with some unknown man and that he completely stopped communicating and withdrew.

"gotta call Eliot, hmm will do that later"

But he was afraid to do so, especially when he saw the news broadcast.

...

“Although Eliot and Lucien’s faces are not visible there, but still, who said that this bastard won’t post a photo where he can already be seen? Will he forgive me? Of course not! People don’t forgive this. !I lied to Lucien for who is  Eliot, and it will probably be unpleasant for him to see himself in this form on the Internet... after all, he has his own life and I, damn it, ruined it! What to do to stop time, I don't want to get out of bed, I'm afraid when he comes home!"

...

Adam was depressed. He was so afraid, he tried to think of something, but he did not know how and what he should do so that Lucien would not be angry with him.  Adam hears Lucien open the door, he pretended to be asleep. Lucien came with packages, probably bought groceries, he shook and put the umbrella to dry in a corner, it was clearly raining. Lucien entered the room, which was dark and quiet.

“Lucien, how good you are. Oh, Lucien!. Please don't be mad at me!“ 

Adam heard how Lucien took a shower, how he quietly went into the room without clothes to get clothes. This made Adam nervous, he almost betrayed himself. Then Lucien started cooking, he could hear how he cut something, fried it, and it smelled so delicious, he wanted to eat it. But then Lucien entered the room and lay down next to him, starting to hug Adam, who did not expect this and betrayed himself.

-Ah, what?

-I know you are awake))

-I slept really then woke up/

-Really?

-I., i... Lucien 

-Let's go eat, I hope you like it, I cooked it myself. And we need to talk.

Adam was scared, he thought that Lucien found out everything, and he will say that he no longer needs him.

Adam was surprised Lucien had prepared dinner so simple and delicious. 

- Adam Deliciously?  

-Very Lucien.

- I am glad. 

Adam was nervous and a bit awkward. 

- You are so nervous because of the news. 

Adam began to cough.

-Are you all right?

-Please forgive me, I didn't want to, it was a coincidence, I didn't understand why I wanted to do it. I just wanted more, and I saw that he wanted me, I'm a jerk, I know!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Adam, what do you mean?

-Photos...

Lucien didn't know what Adam was talking about until he pointed it out. He wasn't too surprised. Lucien just understood why Adam pretended to be asleep all evening.

-I don't know why you were worried. The biggest worry is that someone is watching you.

-aren't you angry?

-Adam, how do you feel about me?

Adam was confused.

-You are kind and beautiful and...

-Adam, do you like me?

for some reason Adam was afraid of this question and did not know what to say. "Of course I like you, but why do you ask?"Adam looked at his food on his plate in confusion and didn’t know what to answer."What should I say so that he doesn’t get angry with me?"

-I like you and I propose to be together. of course, if you are interested in such a relationship with me, Adam, but I warn you that it will be difficult for you...

Adam did not let him finish, got up from the table and hugged Lucien tightly, and kissed him with all his might.

"He doesn't get angry, he doesn't get angry..."

-I was so afraid, I thought you would leave me. of course I like you. and I'm not ashamed of my feelings for you.

but ....What should I do, I am ashamed that people saw it, that my parents saw it. They will think how ugly I am....

-There’s no need to be nervous, you had sex, you had fun and that’s it. Everyone does this, but not everyone is watched this way. You'll have to go to the police, and I think you should stop being afraid. And continue to live on.

-You offer to accept  father's proposal?

Adam was surprised and very happy at these words. They inspired him and made him feel relieved.

-You don't have to drop everything and shut up. You have to become stronger. Wouldn't you enjoy putting your father in his place by becoming a top-notch lawyer, try to find a scumbag who is blackmailing you. He killed your girlfriend, he's watching you, you need to fight it, not run away.I will support you in everything. Be honest and don't be afraid to tell me anything. You have yet to hear my story, and you may be horrified...

Adam froze. He didn't know what to say, he was stunned that Lucien believed in him so much.

-But how can I? I'm not that brave and smart..

-You have me. I will try to help you. The fact that people think of you as a promiscuous and gay is nonsense, you can put up with it, remember that people always think only bad things about each other, sometimes it's even okay. Just don't give in to their desire to crush yourself and that's it.

The morning was cheerful. Adam slept soundly and had only good dreams. Lucien took him shopping, buying everything Adam want. 

"But where does Lucien have so much money from?" 

Adam was happy. He wore a nice suit and his tie was tied by Lucien.

-I'm ready for sure.

-You should not be afraid, sex is not a crime

-But.

-And you didn't kill the girl, can such an angel kill someone?

"He kissed me before I went down that cesspool.I will never forget with what disgust they all looked at me"
