CHAPTER 5

Gary held Matthew as he cried, telling him about his boyfriend had made the tears flow again, and Gary wished that there was some way he could take all of Matthew's problems away.

“I love him so much, but if they find him they'll destroy him.” Matthew sniffed, and Gary tried to wipe the tears away with his thumb, but both his cheeks were stained with tears.

“Come stay with me, both of you, I'll work something out.” Gary held Matthew's hand, hoping that his words had reassured him.

Matthew shook his head, he looked so uncertain but Gary knew that he couldn't leave him like this.

“I meant it when I said that I loved you. I'd do anything to keep you safe, and see you happy, even if that means not being with you.” Gary stared at Matthew, hoping that he could see he was sincere.

“Thank you.” Tears fell down Matthew's cheek and he wrapped himself around Gary, whispering his thanks as the tears fell.

“Pack your things, and we'll figure this all out tomorrow.” Gary watched as Matthew nodded, his beautiful blue eyes red, and he looked so vulnerable.

It didn't take long for Matthew to pack, everything he owned fitted in a couple of rucksacks, and he folded up his easel, the canvas still covered with a sheet.

Matthew saw the way Gary was looking at him. “You thought it was just for show, right?”

“Sorry, I completely underestimated you.”

“I underestimated you too, I thought you would only want me if I was useful to you, but I was wrong, you're a good guy.”

“I'm not a good guy, I'm just lonely.” Gary compressed his lips, that was the cold hard truth, and it was better that it was out in the open.

There was a knock on the door and Gary froze, worried that it was the police coming for Matthew and his boyfriend.

Matthew peered through the little hole in the door, and when he opened it a familiar face stepped in. It was the guy that Gary had seen waiting outside a few nights ago, he hadn't been a client, he was his boyfriend.

Spencer looked worried, his eyes darting around until they settled on Gary, and he felt like Spencer was trying to weigh up if he was a threat or not.

“This is Gary, he's going to take us in while we sort out this mess.” Matthew held Spencer's hand, and he visibly relaxed. “We can't stay here since the landlord knows what I am.”

Matthew shook his head, there was going to be a reward for turning in unregistered bots, and he knew that he couldn't trust a human. Gary was the only one, and he hoped that he really could trust him.

There was silence in the car on the way to Gary's flat, he had no idea what to say. 'I'm sorry' just didn't cut it when Matthew's entire life was being ruined, and they would destroy Spencer just because he had outlived his usefulness.

He showed them to the spare room, it was a reasonable size for the two of them.
