Chapter: 1.***DATE -: DECEMBER 16, 1986.TIME -: 10:00pm.******Six years old Stefan laid outstretched on his mother's tender legs. They were in the hospital lobby, on a long uncomfortable chair. He couldn't get his little mind to fall asleep. Different emotions darting through his mind as he waited with the rest of the Fernández family, while they await the birth of the newest member of their family. He blinked his little eyes towards his Aunt Gina who was sitting opposite them, her head rested loosely on her husband's shoulder while long curly hair ran down her delicate breast to rest on where her hand ran smoothly on her round belly. His Aunt Gina has been the last child of his Grandparents and the only girl his father and uncle Jared had. Stefan's eyes lingered on her until she caught him staring and gave him a sweet smile, Stefan smiled back while blinking his eyes away from her to have them fixed on his Grandparents who were two seats away from him, both of them sound asleep,
Chapter 2. ***DATE -: DECEMBER 17, 1986.TIME -: 9:30 am.********The soft buzzing of the fluorescent light along with the gentle breeze coming through the open window blinds awoke the sleeping boy to the sound of birds chirping on a nearby tree right outside of his window. Stefan opened his eyes, adjusting to the light and trying to remember where he was. He sat up straight looking at the closed door and around him. He was alone. Where are his mother and father? Stefan wondered, why was he alone? This isn't his bedroom. Stefan's heart was hammering in his chest.He was scared.A cry for help was about falling off his lips when the door burst open and his mother walked in. "Mamá!" He cried jumping off the bed and running into his mother's open embrace. Vivian's smiles disappeared at the sound of her son sniffling. "What is it, baby? Why are you crying?" She held his chubby cheeks as Stefan blinked tears off his eyes. "I thought you left me, I was scared." He hiccupped. "Honey,
Chapter 3. ***The sixteen years old boy had just rounded the mall for the millionth time that day, his silky honey-colored hair wet with sweat from the walking he had been doing. Like a man on a mission, he was desperate to find the best gift for the birthday boy. Stefan couldn't believe it has been ten years since the birth of the boy in question. He has grown so fond of Sky that he practically lives for him. Seeking him at every given time. The desire to Touch. To hold. To protect and to love was extremely strong, so intense that Stefan needs him like he did the air he breathes in every giving day. Stefan knew from when he was fourteen what he truly felt for the younger boy, but he had nothing to do about it. Stefan had tried to be the best big brother, he hated seeing Sky cry, not when he had something to say or do about it. So he took it upon himself to teach Sky how to be stronger, to stand his ground, to never let anyone intimidate him, never to cry no matter what because it s
Chapter 4.****Stefan clutched the box to his chest, he would pull the hearts apart and watch as they sought each other out and then click back together, it was beautiful and very expensive, but he was glad he saved up for it and he could afford it. He couldn't wait to get home and have the jewelry around Sky's neck."If I didn't know any better, I would say you're looking for a gift fit to give a lover." A sweet voice broke into his thoughts, Stefan turned around so fast his head spun. When he caught sight of the girl behind him, he let out a growl. "Seriously, you people need to stop doing that! You almost gave me a heart attack." Stefan seethed, his dark eyebrows furrowed as he bent down to pick up the box he had knocked over in shock. He hates it when people sneak upon him. "I'm so sorry." Maya apologized, she has been his best friend since grade one and he loved her to no end."It's OK, I guess I was too occupied." Stefan placed the box back in its place and turned to face the
Chapter 5.***The soft music sung by the birds was something Sky would never get used to. He laid comfortably on his bed, blinking and trying to remember what day it is again. He hates birthdays, especially his own. The only reason he leaves his room on his birthdays was because of certain green eyes. Sky has always been drawn to the older boy, all he's ever wanted to do was please Stefan, be with him, talk to him and touch him whenever he could. Sky has no idea why he feels and wants those things from his big brother, but deep down he knew he craved the older boy in more ways than his innocent mind could put together. One time Stefan's family and his were at Grandma's having a tea party. Their mothers and Grandma had baked so many pastries which seems to be Bella's favorite too, they had eaten too much sugar that day, that they were all on a sugar high. Sky always remembered sitting with Stefan in a small armchair their Grandma sits on whenever she wanted to knit and since he Sky w
Chapter 6.****His Fanny. Sky couldn't help his feelings, they were rushing through him, making him weak in the knees. He blinked at his reflection in the mirror and teardrops glided down his cheeks, as soon as they came down a single slick finger caught them. Sky opened his eyes wider to be sure he was seeing the beautiful boy behind him. Stefan smirked and pink-tinted the cheeks of the younger boy."I have always told you never to cry, Sky," Stefan turned the delicate boy around to face him, their eyes met and unspoken love, devotion, respect, and warmth flowed through them, filling their hearts, drifting deep down into their very souls. "When the sky Cries, the earth weakens," Stefan caught another stray teardrop, his eyes not leaving that of the younger boy's. "You're my Sky," Stefan hushed, so softly that it made Sky dizzy. "What happens when you cry?" He asked and Sky smiled a shy smile, making his face more beautiful than they already were.Who knew a boy would have such a pe
Chapter: 7.****Sky sought the one face that gave him comfort and warmth but was disappointed when he didn't find those sets of greens in the crowds. It was bad enough that Stefan was upset earlier, but now it's even worse that he had to leave. Has he done something to anger the older boy? Maybe he shouldn't have tried to kiss him.Stefan is never the type who gets angry, not with Sky at least. Sky stood up and ran the entire building around, seeking the only boy he ever wanted to see but found him not. Tired and dehydrated, he sat on the front porch awaiting Stefan's return. He would beg if he had to. He would promise never to feel that way anymore.Never wanting his cousin to kiss him. Sky cried into his hands, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get his Fanny off his mind. "I-I'm sorry." He cried.His party is long forgotten.******Stefan sat slumped on a park bench, the cold air gave him the shivers. He took a quick look at his watch and saw it was past 10:30 pm. H
Chapter: 8****The house was bustling with life, everyone oblivious to the emotional battle that had just gone on with the boys right in front of the house. Stefan passes a weak smile to everyone as he goes to sit on a chair. He needed to go home.After what he's done, the last person he wanted to see was Sky. The fact that he had stood his ground and had said those words while watching Sky cry that hard, was a miracle. Stefan thought he would die. But he didn't.Maybe he had done the right thing. "Hey, kiddo! Are you good?" An older man's hand tapped on his shoulders. Stefan smiled knowingly at the voice. He has always loved his grandfather, the man was strong and had taught him almost everything he knew, from fishing, to boxing and to basically everything that he needed to know."Yes, papa Jo," Stefan told the old man, he loved the man and he sure knows how to keep a secret or two."What's eating ya up?" The old man's concerned voice hovered over the younger boy. A weak smile pa
Chapter 18.****~~~~~~~Stefan had driven them far east and had gotten a motel room for them to spend the night almost morning. As soon as they were in their room the door closed and locked. Sky stared at his beautiful man with shining eyes.Papa Jo was right, Stefan needed to be ready."What?" Stefan whispered. Sky was burning an endless hole into his soul with those blue eyes."Yours." Sky hissed softly. Stefan cupped his face and pecked his mouth, Sky's lips were addicting and he moaned."Mine." Stefan breathed out and Sky bit his lips. It took all the willpower the older boy has to restrain himself from bending him over and fucking him senseless, but this was their first time and he wanted it to be special both for him and for his lover, Stefan settled for his lips instead. He put his hands at the small of Sky's back and then gently let them slide down to grab his sweet ass before starting to back them up. He pushed Sky onto the bed and watched a smile play on the younger boy's f
Chapter 17. *****Stefan breathed a much-needed air, all though it seems painful to inhale. "I'm in love with....w-with Sky," Stefan choked out and almost everyone in the room gasped. "I love him," He stated matter of factly, the words rushing into his soul and crashing down like a strong wave cooling his heart and all that is within him, a newfound strength surged into his body as the said boy turned glistering blue eyes at him. Stefan smiled at him and watched the beautiful pink color adore Sky's angelic face. For a face like that, Stefan would walk through the fire all the way to hell and back."What!?" His mother's terrified voice cracked. "It can't be. You’re bro--." Her voice broke.Stefan ran his hand through his already messed-up hair. "Brothers Ma, I know and I also know how wrong it is in every sense of it but this is what it is. I've tried to stop, to not feel what I've always felt, nothing works mother." "No!" Sky's mother cried out silently. "Remember when I told you I
Chapter 16. ******"What the fuck is going on here." Emily's angry voice broke the quiet night.Sky's eyes lost their sparkles once again to be replaced by an unending rage. He looked between Stefan and the strange woman. A wave of anger so profound filled his heart so much that it could burn a house down."Who the hell is she?" Sky demanded, shooting a death glare at Stefan. "Stefan!" Stefan flinched by that name, this has to be the first time Sky had ever called him by that name and somehow it doesn't sound right. Stefan stood torn between two worlds. Loose Emily and come out to his family then lose them too or keep Emily and hurt Sky even more. Who knew what the boy would turn into this time. It wasn't as if it was any easier on his part. "Baby-" Stefan faced Sky who scoffed and turn away from him. "Baby? Isn't he, your cousin?" Emily's disgusted tone shook both boys."Oh shut the fuck up bitch. Who the hell are you by the way?" Sky threw back at the stunned woman's face. Emily
Chapter 15. *****Sky had never felt such strong emotions before, his body was on fire. Stefan had captured him with just a single glance his way, Sky found himself begging for more from the older boy. He was ready to do Stefan's bidding for the rest of his life. Sky watched Stefan bolt for the door and he knew just what to do. He ran after him.The night air chilled, making his vision blur but he could easily make out the shadow of the older boy. The speed Sky was rushing on the skater was making his head spin. Sky had learned to skate because he knew Stefan loved it. He had done everything the older boy did or loved. He fucking grew his hair longer because he hates seeing Stefan run his fingers in all those girls' hair he always hangs around with. Yet he had gone unnoticed by Stefan. Until Sky found solace in self-loathing. Maybe he wasn't good enough. Maybe he was too weak for Stefan. Maybe....just maybe until Stefan went off to college, but now he's come back home. Sky isn't go
Chapter 14. *****"Sky." Stefan breathed out, his eyes wet, heart screaming to go find the younger boy. But he couldn't. Emily searched the families' faces, they all had this look of worry at the mention of the boy. Had she missed something?"He's up in his room, he will be down in a minute." Sammy voiced and everyone went back to chattering and laughter, Emily decided it's best she dropped it, at least the boy wasn't dead. Stefan needed his Sky, the pull too strong, he needed to go find Sky. "You look amazing." Maya sang into his ears.Stefan smiled down at the pregnant little lady. "And you too, little lady." Maya feigned a sad face. "Who is the lady?" She asked, eyeing Emily as she went about setting a table with the other women."She's my fiance." Stefan smiled, blowing a kiss to Emily and turning Maya to face him."Perra!" Maya slapped the back of his head. "How many more before you quit?""Asshole, yes, but I am most certainly not a bitch." Stefan frowned."This isn't wor
Chapter 13.*****The wind gave a pleasant cold air that was soothing Stefan and making the older boy relax as he felt a sudden weakness surge through him. He rubbed his palms together to keep them from shaking anymore than they already were. Stefan was happy going back home, but something felt out of place. Stefan was going to meet a certain someone, someone he hadn't seen in six years. Well, he did see him online once, but that isn't as much as seeing him again in person. "Six years! God, has it really been that long?" Stefan wondered out loud unbeknownst to him."That long?" Emily asked. Her slender hand came to rest on Stefan's who jolted away from her touch like it was hot iron. "What's wrong?" Emily's worried voice filled Stefan's head and it ached badly. "I'm so sorry, Em." Stefan apologizes even though he had no idea what he was apologizing for, his mind was filled with the thoughts of only one person. "Are you OK?" Emily asked again, this time placing the back of her palm o
Chapter 12.*****"Stefan is coming home this weekend!"Sky's eyes widened, his heart doing a double-take, it's like he couldn't breathe. Six years. Six fucking years he last saw the older boy. Stefan had apologized three times through emails and had tried seeing Sky three times but the younger boy wouldn't see him. Sky wouldn't even take his calls.He had his reasons though.What would he look like now? Sky blinked, it was starting to be inefficacious to breathe properly. Would he still wear his own heart? Sky sat up straight, his head throbbing painfully. Does he still care about him? Questions without answers flooded his mind but strangely enough, Sky found his heart heating up to the thoughts of seeing Fanny again. He jumped off the bed and strolled towards the mirror. Once Sky was face to face with his reflection in the mirror, he took his shirt off and scrutinized his tanned chest as it glistered with the warm evening sun that had just shone through the window blinds. Sky had wo
Chapter 11. *****Nothing ever interests the younger boy anymore. He has no friends, the only person he ever spoke more than one word to was his younger brother Sammy. A bucket of fucking sunshine and rainbows compare to Sky's messed-up life. Sammy is only fourteen but he seems to be a lot wiser than his age. He is also the reason Sky gets through life most of the time and for that he is always grateful. Sky had led a very strange life for a teenager. It got to a point when everyone thought he was on drugs or doing something extremely illegal. But there was no such thing. He went to school and went home, then locked himself up in his private hell all day and through the night. No one ever visits him, he never visits anyone, he was better off alone.Fanny had left him that way.After all these years, the name still stuck in his heart. He couldn't call him by another. Sky knew he loved the man, no matter how disgusting it may sound or feel, he was still waiting for him to come back, fu
Chapter 10.*****The twenty-four years old sat on his bed, fumbling with the half-heart shape on his neck, keeping him warm. Giving him a reason to live.It's been six years since he last saw the boy. What is he up to now?Does he have a girlfriend or even a boyfriend?Is he happy?That last thought constricted his heart, tying it into painful knots making it unbearable for him to breathe. Stefan knew Sky would never be happy. He took that away from him. It didn’t help that he ran away the first chance he got. How had he managed to get through all these years? He ruined both their childhood. The one thing he was afraid of. He had ended up doing. He stole Sky’s childhood, wracked the boy and who knows how he’s handling growing up without him? Stefan hissed at the thoughts. Could life get any more unfair?The hatred the younger boy had for him had gone on for too long. Stefan had tried to beg his forgiveness countless times, but Sky kept shutting him down, pushing him away. He is t
