Tangled Up In Me

Chord was gone...
"You wanna sleep with me tonight?"

"Please..." He nodded slowly.

Aristotle laid down, hugging him close and singing softly in his slow way.

Joslin cried softly into his friends chest, wanting Chord so bad...

Chord was far away, out at the beach, throwing shells into the water while he cried himself dry.

Asher and Kyndal had talked Gabriel into helping them corner down every man who had put the video on a new site and making them take it down. So far there was only three sites with the video up and they would get there eventually.

Chord was not home until late last night, when he was he sat on the couch and looked around.
Kelton had cleaned his home good...

When they finally got everything down even Gabriel had a black eye. But the video was completely gone except for the one single copy Joslin had.

Chord was on the couch by the time the morning came, watching T.V. but he was thinking so hard, if you entered the room you could practically hear his gears turning.

In the morning Joslin quietly rolled out of bed without waking Aristotle.. He crept into the living room.
"chord...?"

He was ignored...
The man seemed to be acting like his lover was not even there.

Joslin thought he must not have heard him.
He sat down on the couch beside him.
"Chord?"

The man acted like he wasnt even there, his eye forward as if he was so interested in the T.V. he saw nothing else.

"Chord p-please don't... I c-can take you y-yelling... hell h-hit me if you need to..."

Chord...couldnt take that...If Joslin kept on his would have to acknowledge him...
His beautiful....

"Call me a slut... slap me... cuss me out... I don't care just... look at me." He begged.

Chord sighed, glancing over at him.
"What?" He snapped, hating it.
His Beautiful...

"I love you..." Joslin sighed softly. "The video is down..." He looked down.

Chord just muttered a quick I love you too and turned his head.
This would be hard to get through...

Joslin sighed but it was better than nothing.
He curled his knees to his chest.

"You...kind of cheated on me..." He whispered into the air, his hand rubbing up and down his arm.

"I did...?" He didnt see it that way...

"In my mind you did." He shook his head at his lover.

"I didnt know... I forgot aboutit babe..." He frowned.

"That does not fix things. Joslin it doesnt help. You didnt fucking think about what its like for me. I feel like you were cheating every time someone watched that."
