I had this idea over Valentines so I thought that I would write a story for STUG Fans. Sorry Stendan Fans this is probably not your cup of tea. As always, Standard Disclaimers apply here. This is for my entertainment so I hope you enjoy. And maybe if we are all lucky there will be a happier ending for them.
It was at the Going Away Party, Doug saw it with his own eyes. His Ste, the man that he had married, was kissing his former lover, Brendan. Doug noticed that Ste was missing so he had gone to look for him.
Brendan had asked Ste into his office on some pretense. He wanted one more chance to convince Ste that he should really be with him. Doug stands for only a moment watching to his horror as Ste and Brendan kiss. He had believed Ste when he said that it was over. Doug believes that Ste will always want to be with Brendan. He doesn't stay to watch. He quickly leaves and goes back to the party.
Ste pushes back from Brendan and moves away from him, "what'd you do that for?"
"Because I love you Stephen and I always will," Brendan replies.
Ste looks at him and replies more angry than he intends, "little late for that don't you think. I married Doug. He is my life. You had your chance, no you had many chances, and you didn't want me. You played head games and even hit me. You just don't want to see me happy unless it's under your thumb. That ends today. In fact it ends now. Goodbye, Brendan."
Ste goes back to the Going Away Party, and Brendan stays in office getting ready to depart for Ireland.
He looks down and nods, "Goodbye to you Ste." He knows that it is truly over. Both he and Ste can move on.
