Chapter 24

“Hey, are you sure you are ok?”

Brandon and Sebastian got everything worked out and are staying at a hotel for the night. Having arranged truck and storage unit rental, they packed their bags and left, not having another reason to stay where Matt doesn’t want them.

“Yes, I just don’t know how I’m going to go and function at work tomorrow.” His message is not clear, and Seb asks him to explain himself. They talk about everything that happened and Matt’s unexpected reaction, and this makes Sebastian worry that he just made things worse for Brandon, just because he felt selfish enough to want to have him. Afraid to voice his doubt, knowing he must, he asks Brandon if they are all right if they are still doing this.

“I know you never wanted Matt to know. I guess I just want to know where we stand. That’s all.”

“I don’t know, Seb, this is all stupid. How did things go to shit so fast? Fuck!” Angry and not knowing what to do, he throws a punch at a dresser in the hotel room they are staying at. His knuckles hit the wood, and a bolt of pain crawled through his arm and up to his shoulder.

“Fuck, Brandon, let me see your hand.” Hopeless and resigned, he slides down to the floor, and Seb drops next to him, inspecting his hand. The feeling of defeat finally hits him, and tears start rolling down his cheeks while Seb tries to convince him to go to the emergency room.

“My best friend, Seb!” He completely ignored Seb’s words. “My best friend of thirty years kicked me out and called me a faggot.”

“Listen, Matt is an asshole who doesn’t deserve your friendship or your loyalty. Forget about it and take care of this... take care of yourself. Can you drive, or do you want me to ask Vera to drive you?”

“You want me to go alone?”

“I thought you wouldn’t want me to. There will be people there seeing us together.”

“Are you going to have your tongue in me while the doctor is tending to my wounds?”

“Of course, not! Come on, Brandon, you know what I mean.”

“No, you are coming with me. Unless you don’t want to, is that it? You don’t want to go with me?” Seb smiles, and that’s his answer. Matt, however, has been calling nonstop, trying to apologize. He hasn’t told Seb and turned off his phone instead.

The trip to the hospital is quick, and soon Seb is taking Brandon to get some pain meds the doctor prescribed and drive to the hotel next. Between finding a storage unit for their stuff, finding a hotel, and now the ER trip, the two are exhausted and decide to rest on the comfy hotel bed while watching a movie.

They talk about their next steps, discussing whether they will look for apartments together or separately and if they will be roommates again or share the same room as a couple. They settle on finding an apartment with two rooms, but only in case they get visits, as they will share a bedroom.
