Joe quietly snuck around the apartment he shared with his boyfriend/brother Nick. Joe smiled to himself Nick was going to love this anniversary surprise he has in store for him
Nick's POV
I was awoken from my nice dream by my boyfriend's sweet voice in my ear
"Nicky time to wake up, I have a surprise for you" I opened my eyes and brought my hands up to wipe the sleep from them
"Morning Joey" I said sleepily yawning and stretching
"Morning baby" Joe said leaning over and giving me a kiss on the lips
"So what is this surprise you have for me?" I asked eying Joe with a curious look
"I made you breakfast in bed!" Joe said excitedly producing a tray from the desk we had in our bedroom. On the tray was a stack of 4 pancakes with butter and more than likely my sugar-free maple syrup there was also a HUGE glass of milk and a bowl of apples.
"Aw Joey you didn't have to do this for me" I said while taking a bite of the pancakes
"I wanted to, besides you know what today is don't you?" Joe asked excitedly
"The 1st of April?" I said, I knew that it was April Fool's Day and then suddenly it clicked today was our anniversary
"By the look on your face I'm going to guess you remember what today is"
"Our anniversary how could I forget?!" I said suddenly realizing that I had forgot and that I had no gift for Joe. I grabbed the glass of milk off the tray and started drinking out of it so Joe wouldn't see my sad smile
"I know that trick Nick, you forgot didn't you?" Joe said looking away from me
"Joey I'm sorry I completely spaced" I said trying really hard to show him how sorry I was
"It's ok Nick-o I'm gonna go take a shower, finish your breakfast" Joe said getting up and heading to our shared bathroom grabbing some clothes along the away
"Joe…" was all I could get out before the bathroom door closed and I heard water running
'God I'm an idiot' I thought before sadly going back and eating the breakfast Joe had made me
Joe's POV
'I can't believe he forgot our anniversary' I thought letting out a silent sob while sitting on the floor of the shower the shower water was mixing with the tears that were falling from my face
"How could he forget our 5 year anniversary?" I whispered feeling the tears coming out of my eyes faster. I finally got tired of just sitting there feeling sorry for myself and finished taking my shower, when I got out of the shower and had dried off I put on the clothes that I had brought in with me and then started styling my hair, I decided that I wasn't going to sit around all day and mope about how Nick forgot our anniversary, I was gonna go out and do something maybe just be by myself for a little bit. Might be nice I mean Nick has been kind of clingy lately. When I had finished styling my hair and finding my work satisfactory I walked out of the bathroom
When I got into our room I saw Nick sitting still eating his breakfast surprise that I had made for him. I let out a shaky breath and walked over to the desk grabbing my wallet, keys, and cell phone
"I'm going out for a bit," I said to Nick grabbing a jacket from our closet
"Joey I'm really sorry that I forgot" Nick said, I don't know why but him saying that made me angry it also made me remember a night 3 weeks ago, a night I would never forget
Flashback
I laid in bed fighting to stay awake waiting for Nick to come home, I looked at the alarm clock on our bedside table saw that it was 3 A.M. and he still wasn't home yet
'Where could he be?' I asked myself in my head. I suddenly heard the front door opening and Nick stumbling around in the living room. I heard a crash and I knew Nick had run into the front table and knocked off the glass dish that our mom had gotten us for a house-warming gift. I heard Nick coming towards the bedroom so I made it seem like I was asleep and had been for hours.
"Damnit stupid dish, why does it have to be in front room why couldn't we put it where I wanted to put, somewhere where it wouldn't get fucking broken" I heard Nick mumble as he moved around the room his words were slurred and I could tell that he was drunk
'Damnit Nick you know you're underage' I thought. I heard Nick undressing and then I felt Nick turn me forcefully do that I was on my back, my eyes snapped open when I felt him sit on my waist
"Hey baby" Nick said I could smell the alcohol now more than ever
"Damn Nick what have you been drinking" I said moving my hand to cover my nose, but before I could Nick grabbed both my arms and pinned them above my head
"Nick what are you doing?" I asked feeling something wrap around my wrists, I looked up to see two of my ties tying my wrists together extra tight
"I feel like playing rough tonight and this time I'm topping" Nick said with a malicious smile
"Nick this isn't like you, why are you doing this?" I asked tears coming to my eyes as I desperately tried to free my self
"This is me" he said getting close to my face our lips almost touching "deal with it" Nick said before crashing his lips on mine in a painful kiss. I felt Nick's hands working my shorts off of me
'I had to choose tonight to sleep without underwear' I thought, as if reading my mind Nick said
"No underwear tonight, I like it!" Nick said getting off my legs and pulling off his only piece of clothing, his boxers.
"Are you ready baby?" Nick asked positioning himself at my entrance
"Nicky what about some lube" I said hoping for as little pain as possible
"How about not, I said rough and I meant rough" Nick said biting down hard on my shoulder causing me to scream before he roughly shoved his cock into me causing my floodgates to break
"Doesn't that feel good" Nick said through a moan all while thrusting his cock in and out of my dry ass
"Nicky stop please it hurts!" I sobbed
"Good that means it's rough, you shouldn't beg it doesn't suit you" Nick said thrusting in one more time before I felt him spill his seed into me. He collapsed beside me pulling his cock out of my ass and removing the ties from my wrists
"That's a good boyfriend," Nick said giving me another rough kiss before lying down and passing out from the alcohol. I scooted away from Nick shaking with tears I got up from the bed grabbing my shorts and putting them back on, I saw the ties that Nick had used lying on the floor just looking at them made me sick. I grabbed them off the floor and walked out into the kitchen grabbing a lighter from the kitchen drawer I held the ties over the garbage can and lit them on fire dropping them into the garbage just as the flames were about to touch my fingers.
I slept on the couch that night.
End Flashback
"I just don't understand Nick how you could forget" I said turning and looking at him with tears in my eyes
"I just did, ok Joe it was an accident. I don't get why you're getting all upset it's one anniversary okay. It's the first one I've forgotten! Geez you're acting like a freaking 5 year old!" Nick yelled at me, the tears in my eyes threatened to fall when he said that
"YOU WANNA KNOW WHY I'M ACTING LIKE THIS, IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SPECIAL NICK, OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT IT WAS!" I yelled at him
"AGAIN Joe IT'S A FREAKING ANNIVERSARY AND AGAIN I'LL SAY THAT YOU'RE BEING STUPID!" Nick yelled back at me standing up off the bed spilling the tray that still had the breakfast on it all over the floor. All the hard work I did was gone spilled all over the floor
"Well if I'm so stupid maybe I should just leave" I said
"maybe you should"
"maybe we should see other people" I said
"Maybe I'm already seeing someone else" My eyes widened when Nick said that, I think Nick realized what he had said cause his eyes widened too.
"Is that where you were 3 weeks ago" I asked looking at Nick not trying to his the tears that were falling from my eyes
"3 weeks ago, what are you talking about?" Nick asked
"you don't remember, oh wait of course you don't you were too drunk!" I said angrily
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Nick said
"You came home drunk 3 weeks ago and practically raped me Nick, no scratch that you did rape me. I was scared all to hell Nick" I said
"fine 3 weeks ago I was out with the guy I've been seeing"
"How long?" I asked not sure if I wanted to know the answer
"a year" Nick said with a sad sigh. My heart shattered a whole year I've been lied to by the man I thought loved me, it was all a lie
"I'm leaving" I said making sure I had everything I needed for now "I'll be back tomorrow to pick up my stuff" I said making my way out the door to what could be called Nick's room now, it would never be ours again. As I walked out the front door to the apartment we had shared for 2 years I felt my life fall around me, I felt alone and scared, I felt empty. I got in my car and pulled out of the parking lot I didn't know where I was going and I wasn't really paying attention, but maybe it I had I would have seen the car that was heading straight for me but I didn't and my last thoughts before my soul left my body were
'I'll always love you Nicky'
