I can't wait to get home. It's my last class of the day and it's year 7s who are refusing to work.

"Calum sit down!" I yell at the mischievous boy who's running around all of the desks.

"What's those on your neck?" Asks a girl from the front row. Oh no, I am not explaining hickies to an 11 year old.

"I had a fight with a Hoover," I say quickly and get back to telling Calum off.

"That's a hicky!" A boy shouts and suddenly the whole class is asking what a hicky is.

"If everyone sits down and does their work quietly, I'll tell you what it is," I say loudly and they all settle down. They do their work but keep peaking up at me so I sit back at my desk and try to get some emails sent. They work for about ten minutes before they get restless again and start asking questions.

"Will you tell us now?" Asks Callum.

"Fine." I stand up and lean against my desk so I can keep everyone's attention. "A hicky is when someone you love very much, kisses your neck and it leaves a love bite."

"Ew!" Several kids say and I roll my eyes.

"Did your wife do it?" Asks a girl from the back of the room.

Do I tell them I don't have a wife? I'm sure it'll be okay to let them know I'm gay. I can't tell them about Cole so maybe just Marcus?

"Actually my boyfriend did it," I say and a lot of them look more confused.

"But you're a boy," Callum says.

"I know, boys can have boyfriends, just like girls can have girlfriends," I explain and I can see all of the cogs turning in their heads.

"What's your boyfriend called?" Someone asks.

"He's called Marcus, and I love him very much," I say with a smile. I love talking about my boyfriend now I'm finally comfortable talking about him around school.

"Will you get married and have babies?"

"I'm not sure yet, it's too early for that," I answer and she looks upset.

"I love weddings," she tells me and I agree with her.

"Now get back to working, if you all do a page of work I'll tell you more about Marcus," I say and they all start furiously writing.

I can finally relax and get some marking done without the barbaric noise from the annoying little kids. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for them to start talking loudly and a few of them pestering me about Marcus.

"What's he like?" The girl who likes weddings asks.

"He's lovely." I answer but that doesn't satisfy her.

"Is he tall?"

"Yes."

"How old is he?"

"31."

"What's your favourite thing about him?"

"His smile. He's gorgeous when he smiles," I answer thoughtfully.

"Awww!" A few kids coo. I roll my eyes and the bell rings to signal the end of the school day. They all leave so I finish off my work quickly. I'm planning on going for a run around a nearby park when I get home. Cole is supposed to be coming with me but I doubt I'll get him to.

"Hey daddy!"

Speaking of the devil.

"Hey baby, where's Danielle?" I ask when I notice she isn't with Cole.

"She's getting some stuff from her locker, she'll be here soon," he says and sits himself on my lap.

"We're in school, you've got to be more subtle," I say and try to move him but he wraps his arms around me tightly.

"It'll be fine, your classroom is at the end of the corridor, no one walks past here," he says and kisses my jaw.

"Hey guys!" Danielle says as she walks in. I push Cole away from me as Danielle sees him attacking my neck and face with kisses.

"Hi Danielle, are you ready to go?" I say with a light blush. It's not the first time she's seen us kissing but it's still awkward for me. It's already difficult keeping her out of the club. She's so curious about what we're hiding from her, Marcus keeps using the excuse she's not 18 yet so can't go to any club. She'll figure it out eventually, she's very intelligent.

"Yeah I've got my stuff," she says and holds up her bag. We go to my car and I take us home quickly so I can go out for a run before tea is ready.

I park the car and Cole jumps out before I can even take the keys out.

"Why so eager?" I shout after him.

"I want to see Marcus!" He shouts back and disappears inside. Danielle shrugs her shoulders and we walk inside together at a normal pace. When we go into the living room, I see Cole sprawled over Marcus kissing his face.

"Watch the bruise!" Marcus warns and holds Cole away from his injured face. The bruises have started to subside a little but Marcus says they are still painful to the touch.

"Cole, leave him be," I say as I pull him off Marcus and sit him on the other couch. "You've got homework to do."

"I don't want to," he pouts.

"Then come for a run with me," I offer, knowing he won't do it.

"Nooooooooo," he whines.

"Cole," Marcus says sternly. Cole stops whining and goes with Danielle to the kitchen table to do homework.

"Thank you," I say to Marcus and lean down to kiss him. He comes with me upstairs when I say I'm going to get changed for my run. I don't get to put my bag down before Marcus is kissing me gently. He holds my face in his hands and tries not the press his face against me.

"I need to get changed." My voice is muffled against his soft lips as his hands start to undo my tie. I keep kissing him while he unbuttons my shirt and drops it to the floor.

"You can stay a little longer," Marcus says and reaches for my belt.

"We'll continue this when I get back," I tell him and he sighs but agrees. He goes down to check on Cole and Danielle while I put on a shirt and some shorts. I've got new running shoes that I put on and walk around to test out a little. I stop in front of the floor length mirror to make sure I look okay before I get my phone and headphones. Cole hands me my water bottle he's filled up with a smile so I kiss his lips for a small makeout session.

"I'm heading out, I'll be about half an hour," I say as I go to the front door. Cole kisses me goodbye again then I leave. I walk while I put on the music and then I start jogging to the park.

I love running because it gives me a chance to blow off some steam and get lost in my thoughts for half an hour and sometimes an hour. It also gives me a slightly lean physique and as Marcus says, a delicious ass.

As I get to the park, I see Joey stood with another man. Who's that? I slow down to a walk and head towards Joey so I can ask about his friend but I freeze when they start kissing.

What the fuck.

They're making out like animals! Joey! With another man who isn't Lucas! I quickly take my phone out and take a photo so I have proof. Luckily, they don't see me when they part ways and leave the park through different exits.

What am I supposed to do now? Finish my run? Go home? Go to Lucas'? I need Marcus' help. I call him and sit on the bench while I wait for him to answer.

"What's wrong?" He asks quickly.

"Um, I just saw Joey kissing another man," I say painfully. It sounds way too blunt but how else do you tell someone that?

"What? Who?" He asks.

"I'm not sure, I've got a picture but I didn't see his face."

"Come back home, I'll call Lucas. Send me the picture and stay safe," he tells me and I say okay and then hang up. I send the picture and start my jog back home.

Why would Joey do that? I thought he loved Lucas. How long has it been going on?

My mind whirls as make my way home to talk more with Marcus and Cole. Cole will be heartbroken. He really looked up to Joey as a friend and as an older sub to mentor him in a way.

How will Lucas handle it? Him and Joey have been together for almost three years now, it'll be difficult for him to adjust to being single. Well that's if they break up at all. There could be a reason why it happened, Lucas could even know about it already!

I stop outside the back door of the club and drink some water and catch my breath. When I go inside Cole hugs me with a few tears in his eyes.

"Did Joey actually cheat on Lucas?" He asks with a tremble in his voice. I nod and he sighs as a few tears fall. Marcus comes into the corridor and takes Cole inside while I follow behind.

"Lucas hung up on me when I rang to tell him. I'm going over now. Danielle and Cole are staying here so you can come with me if you want," Marcus says as he gathers his car keys and phone.

"I'll come with you, I need to make sure he's okay," I reply and go out to the car.

"Behave!" Marcus shouts to Danielle and Cole before we leave.

The car journey to Lucas' house is quiet. Marcus has his thinking face on that I only see when he's dealing with problems at the club. His eyebrows draw in slightly and his nose bunches up a little, it's quite cute but I'd never tell him that. When we get there we get out of the car but before we can ring the doorbell, we're interrupted by arguing inside.

"You promised that would be the last time!" We hear Lucas' muffled yelling through the door. Me and Marcus exchange a look before he opens the unlocked door and we go into the living room where the arguing is happening.

"It was a friendly kiss between friends! You really think I'd cheat on you!" Joey shouts back and it throws me off seeing Joey angry and loud. He's never loud.

"That's not what the picture looks like! And you know it!" Lucas holds his phone up and Joey pales at the picture of him making out with the other man.

"Both of you calm down!" Marcus' deep voice bellies into the room and they both stop and look at us. "Sit on the couch, and talk about it like adults."

Lucas sits down on the end of the couch and Joey tries to sit next to him but the dark glare he gets stops him in his tracks. He sits in the middle of the couch as Marcus stands in front of them with his arms crossed across his chest.

"Joey, would you care to explain?" Marcus asks. Joey shrinks into the couch and nods his head.

"That guy's just an old friend-"

"Then why would you makeout with him?" Lucas demands.

"I didn't makeout with him! It was one little kiss goodbye," Joey says but even I can see he doesn't believe what he's saying.

"I saw you Joey," I say and he looks up at me with an angry face. "You were kissing him like you'd kiss a boyfriend."

Lucas gets up and goes up the stairs before Joey can stop him. Marcus tells me to go check on Lucas while he talks to Joey. I go to Lucas' bedroom and he is stood looking at the untidy bed.

"Everything was normal this morning," he says and sits on the edge of the bed.

"I'm so sorry Lucas." I sit beside him and he sighs.

"He's cheated on me before. I've caught him in this bed with another man, it looks like the guy from the picture. Joey promised it would never happen again and that he regrets it, but obviously not."

"You need to break it off with him," I say and he quickly shakes his head.

"I can't, I love him so much. I don't know how to live without him anymore," he tells me and the first tears fall down his face. I hug him into my side as he starts to cry more.

"Lucas you've got to, he's cheating on you with another man. You have me, Marcus, Thomas, and Cole all here looking out for you. You can even stay with us tonight if you need to."

"No I'll stay here."

"You know you can't live with Joey anymore? You're going to have to break up with him."

"I know. It's just going to be so difficult."

"Marcus won't put up with Joey trying to wiggle back into your life, so don't worry about that," I laugh a little and Lucas smiles.

"I guess I have to do this now?" He says.

"Come on," I stand up and pull him up with me so we can go back downstairs.

Marcus is still stood where he was while Joey is sat crying on the couch.

"I've cancelled Joey's membership to Club Sin. I don't tolerate cheating of any kind," he says with a pointed look to Joey.

"Joey, we need to breakup," Lucas says as he walks around the couch and sits down.

"Please no Lucas! I need you!" Joey begs with puffy red eyes.

"Do you have somewhere to stay tonight?" He asks with a strong face.

"No Lucas please! I can't leave you!"

"Joey! You've cheated on me with another man! It's been going on for months! You don't love me anymore, otherwise you wouldn't have done it. So pack a bag, and go stay with him." Lucas says quite angrily near the end.

"You can't kick me out!"

"I pay the rent, I pay the bills, so I can kick you out!" Lucas shouts and Joey glares at him.

"Fine! I'll go! But you'll regret this!"
