Chapter 8

Feeling on top of the world, Mitch stepped out of the shower and tumbled right down into hell. Dustin was gone. For a moment, Mitch thought Dustin was hiding behind the bed, but no. His backpack, his shirt, his shoes and socks, and the sweats that Mitch had so carefully folded--gone. Along with Dustin. Besides the key on the desk, the only things Dustin had left were in the garbage. And what he'd left said it all. Dustin's ripped-up underwear and ruined jeans were stuffed into the little metal waste can by the desk.

Since there was no note, all Mitch could do was settle himself on the edge of the bed--the bed where he'd claimed the man he absolutely thought he would spend the rest of his life with--and try to get a message from what Dustin had left. That he'd left the key said he wasn't coming back, but nothing spoke more loudly than the ruined clothing. Mitch had embarrassed Dustin by destroying what few things he had, and Dustin had retaliated by taking Mitch's heart.

To Mitch, it seemed a monstrously unfair exchange, but maybe it didn't to Dustin. Looking back over the day, using his eidetic memory, Mitch realized Dustin had very little. Each painfully obvious clue that flashed in his mind made him wince because he should have noticed earlier, and he had noticed, but he hadn't put it all together the way he was now.

Mitch remembered looking at Dustin's beat-up backpack and noticing how often it had been mended. Dustin's jacket was clean, but old. His glasses slipped because they were too big for his face. The lenses were scratched, and Dustin squinted through them anyway, so obviously the prescription wasn't quite right. More likely than not, Dustin had found the best pair of glasses he could at a thrift store and used them even though they weren't what he really needed. And the last and most telling straw--Dustin's underwear and jeans had been clean but cheap. Very cheap. They had obviously been bought at one of those giant chain department stores. And here came too-strong-for-his-own-good Mitch Gay who practically destroyed what little Dustin had in two minutes.

"I really am the biggest fucking asshole in the universe," Mitch reminded himself.

Mitch wondered if he'd taken Dustin's virginity with the same utter lack of care or finesse. His mind replayed that moment when they'd come together, but he saw only welcoming bliss. The look in Dustin's eyes as he lay below him had been sizzling hot. The sounds that he'd made had been eager. The way he'd literally wrapped himself around Mitch like they belonged together...all of that was faked?

"Dude should switch his major to theater arts."

Or maybe he'd overwhelmed Dustin. Claiming him so thoroughly and using the L word so liberally might have scared the crap out of him. Mitch realized they'd just met today. It was like a slap to the face. Intellectually, he knew that they'd only known one another briefly, but emotionally, it had felt like he'd known Dustin for just about forever.
