Part 6 - Together atlast?

John Paul heads out of the Dog looking for Craig, he looks everywhere he can think of but theres no sign. He heads home constantly texting and trying to call him. He reaches his front door and is startled as Craig lurks in the shadows

"John"

"Craig, I've been looking all over for you. I was worried...where have you been".

"Just here, its the only place I feel safe... here with you".

John Paul grabbed him and held him so tightly, he loved Craig even more now if that was possible. Whatever happens from now on, it's this moment that counts, this moment that Craig finally admitted his true feelings and JP couldn't love him anymore.

"I love you so much Craig, I'm so sorry that happened. I never want you to feel like that again and you won't, not if I can help it".

"I Love you too, but you can't try and protect me from this. Its out there now and theres no going back. My family will hate me, our friends will hate us both. If we have a future together it has to be away from here". Craig was scared, he's always had his familys support and now he new he'd probably lost it and that was a hard thing to accept.

"We can do this together, they have to accept it eventually. It'll die down it always does. Or is this more about not wanting to be seen with me as a couple and still not being able to accept that you're gay".

Craig froze at the word, still after everything he couldn't bring himself to admit that. If they are going to go to Dublin together would he really be able to live with John Paul as a gay couple for all the world to see...
