“I'm sorry but I need to go home.” Leon said suddenly and started walking out of the club.

Neither Leon nor Sebastian spoke as they left Summer Club. The silence between them was heavier than the music they had left behind.

Sebastian opened the passenger door of his car. "Let me take you home."

Leon shook his head. "I'll get a taxi."

"No." The answer came gently but firmly. "It's late."

"Sab..."

"I just want to be sure you get home safely, please."

Leon looked at him for a

    A faint smile crossed his lips. "Yeah, well, my Dad never got the chance to pay the debts." The smile disappeared. "The debt didn't die with him. It came to me." Leon sat beside him in silence.Noa continued. "My mother was already gone. My sister, was raped and since then she had never been the same." His voice caught. He needed treatment, so there was only me." "So, I quit thinking about what I wanted. I stopped asking for help. I worked." He smiled bitterly. "Thank goodness for the scholarship. Morning...school and hockey. Evening…work, then home.The next day...I did it all again." Leon could barely breathe. "Why didn't you tell me?" Noa laughed quietly. "What would I have said? Hi, Leon.I like you. By the way, dangerous people are threatening my family because of a debt that isn't even mine.” He shook his head. "I didn't want you involved. I didn't want anyone involved. My sister already is.” His voice cracked. Leon grabbed his hand. "Y

    he bruises inflicted on Noa last night refused to leave Leon's mind.Even during lectures, he couldn't concentrate. The professor's voice faded into meaningless background noise while the image of Noa's battered face replayed over and over in his head. Who did this? Why won't he tell me? He gripped his pen so tightly his knuckles turned white. Noa smiled, and laughed. He had insisted he was fine. However, Leon now knew that smile hid more than exhaustion.It also hid pain. When the bell finally rang, Leon packed his books without even realizing it. Jenny bumped his shoulder."Earth to Leon." "Hm? You've been staring at the same page for twenty minutes." "Oh..." He forced a smile. Sorry, I wasn't concentrating." "Hmm, you've been worrying about Noa all day, haven't you?" Leon didn't deny it. "I just have this feeling that something isn't right."His voice grew quiet. Practice ended earlier than usual.Coach Finn dismissed everyone with a reminder abo

    Leon glared at him. "Serves you right." Noa chuckled weakly. "There you are." "What?" "You smiled." Leon didn't smile back again. His expression remained serious as he cleaned the wound with incredible care. Noa watched him silently. His boyfriend's hands were gentle, almost reverent. It was as though afraid of causing him even the slightest pain. When Leon reached for Noa's sleeve to check another bruise peeking beneath it, Noa instinctively pulled his arm back. "Don't." Leon stopped. "Why?" "I'm okay." "Noa." "It's just a scratch." Leon didn't stop. He slowly rolled up the sleeve anyway. Then, he froze. Dark purple bruises covered Noa's forearm. Some fresh. Some are already turning yellow. There were finger-shaped marks near his wrist. A long scrape ran from his elbow almost to his hand. Leon's breathing caught."Noa…" His voice was barely audible."This..." He looked up, his eyes glistening. "This isn't from bumping into someone." No

    Jason stepped out from the shadows. A smug grin spread across his face. "You've been avoiding me, darling." Noa sighed. "Jason, it's late, and I'm tired. I don't want trouble." Jason took another step closer."Then stop lying to me." "I've never lied to you." "You don't have a boyfriend." "I do." "You made him up because you didn't want to date me." Noa shook his head. "I don't owe you proof." He tried to walk past, but Jason grabbed his shoulder. "I'm talking to you." Noa looked down at the hand gripping him. His voice turned cold."Take your fucking hands off me." Jason didn't move. Instead, he smiled. "I could treat you better than whoever you're pretending to date." Noa brushed his hand away."I said no." His tone left no room for misunderstanding. "I've rejected you more than once.I'm not interested, and I never will be." Jason's expression darkened."You really think you're too good for me?" "No, I just don't want you." For a second,

    He smiled through his tears."You called me...your babe." Noa nodded, tears streaming freely now. "I never stopped thinking of you that way." Leon stepped closer until only inches separated them. "I love you." Noa stroked his cheek for a brief second before pressing a kiss on his forehead. "I know babe." He rested his forehead against Leon's. "And I love you too." Leon slowly raised a trembling hand to his cheek."Can I...?" His eyes locked on Noa’s lips. Noa answered by giving the smallest nod. Leon leaned in cautiously, Noa waited for it. When their lips finally met, it wasn't desperate or hurried.It was soft, and gentle. Just like an apology, and a promise. Noa's fingers slid into Leon's hair as he returned the kiss with equal tenderness. For a few precious seconds, the hurt, the misunderstandings, and the fear faded away. When they finally parted, their foreheads remained together.Noa smiled through his tears."Don't make me doubt you again...ple

    Noa searched his eyes and surprise gripped him. He took a step closer. Leon took one backwards. He took another one. “What did you just say?” Leon took one back. They continued until Leon’s back hit the wall. “I said you've punished me enough.” Noa stood in front of him. “How dare you play the victim here. You made your decision and went about parading yourself with Sabastian. You're the one parading around with Sabastian. So why can't you leave me be. What the heck do you want from me?" Noa’s voice cracked with hurt. "I want you to listen to me." Leon whispered. "I've listened enough." He spoke as their eyes locked. "No, you haven't!" Leon said almost in a sob. "You've listened to everyone except me!" Silence filled the room. Noa's chest rose and fell rapidly. His exhaustion, heartbreak, and frustration had finally reached their limit. He pointed toward the door again. His voice came out rough. "I said leave me the fuck alone." The words stru

    The sudden burst of loud voices outside the stall instantly snapped both of them back to reality. The restroom door slammed closed. Students who walked in moved around noisily, laughing and talking over each other. Leon’s eyes flew open fully. At the same time, Noa jerked back slightly. His h

    Both guys stared at him in surprise. He sounded very annoyed. “Come on, Cap. Let it go already. Coach had settled things after practice.” Vic immediately jumped in. “Exactly,” Nath agreed. “Leon was rough during training, but honestly? That rookie is good.” Noa stared at them blankly for

    Noa tilted his head slightly, eyes dragging over Leon’s tense expression. “Are you sure about that?" Leon couldn't reply because he knew he was right. His heart had been thudding since he saw him in the shower. He had been trying to control his body from acting up. Water rolled down Leon’s ne
