Nate

There’s more to this than he’s saying, but do I want to push him about it, about talking to me? No, not now. I’m happy to let us be us, to be together, for now.

I open the door and pay the delivery guy. The food smells great, and my stomach rumbles. I’m grinning when I turn around to Jem, but there’s something wrong, very wrong. My boy is curled up tight in the corner of the large sectional sofa, his knees tucked up under his chin and his arms wrapped tight around them. Without saying a word, I take the food into the kitchen. I set the oven to low and slide the foil containers onto the shelves to keep warm. The food will be good in there for a while.

I walk over to the sofa, where he’s still huddled up. “Jem.” I cup his beautiful face in my hands. “Talk to me, angel. There’s nothing you can say that will stop me from loving you. Tell me what’s wrong.”

“It’s nothing, not really, not anymore. We had a change in beliefs. I am who I am. I don’t want to or ever will change that. I suddenly didn’t fit into their idea of what a son is. One minute I was loved and cared for. The next they turned their back on me.”

“Because you’re gay?” I cringe at the thought of what they may have done to him.

“Of course because I’m gay and effeminate and choose satin and lace over cotton. Because there’s no place in their twisted version of the bible for something like me. To them, I became a thing, not a person.” Jem speaks quietly, so matter-of-factly. I would have preferred him to be shouting, being angry, even.

“Something? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” I bark at him. It’s the calm blink of his eyes that makes me rein it in. “You need to tell me, angel. Tell me everything.”

“I don’t actually, Nate.” He looks at me blankly, as if he’s devoid of any emotion. I flinch at him calling me by my name. I may have crossed a line he’s not ready to go over himself.

“I’m sorry. You’re right. This is your story. You can tell me when you’re ready.” I lean forward and kiss his mouth.

“I’m hungry,” he mumbles against my lips. I nip his bottom lip with my teeth.

“Then I will feed you, boy.” I smirk, pushing myself upright from the sofa. “Where do you want to eat?”

“In bed.” Jem sighs, untangling his legs from his arms, then wanders toward the bedroom.

When I carry the food in on a tray I found on the top of his fridge, Jem is propped up against the headboard. He’s taken his T-shirt off, but with the cover up to his waist, I can’t tell if he’s naked underneath. I hope so.

“Do you do this often? Eating in bed?” I ask after setting the tray down and removing my top.

“Sometimes. Not often, though.” He grabs one of the containers and a fork and digs in.
