Sorry I haven't written anything in AGES! i had a writers block :( I am going to start writing again though :p

I am going to update the other fics i started soon.

I'm going to start off with this fic 'a dark secret' I wrote this middle of last year but I never managed to put it on-line soooooo...

Brendan and Ste were sat on the sofa cuddled up watching TV. Brendan didn't know what the hell he was watching and started to get bored, so he grabbed the remote and switched it off.

"hey, what the hell do you think your doing?" Ste shouted trying to reach for the remote back, but Brendan swiped it away.

"that Steven is an excellent question" Ste waited for Brendan to carry on but he didn't, he just sat there staring at Ste.

"well what then?" still no answer "Brendan what's an excellent question?" Brendan tightened his grip around Ste's waist.

"you are so cute, you know that?" Ste looked at Brendan confused

"okay?" he moved closer to Brendan and held on more tight.

"I love you so, so much. you know that right?"

"urm...yeah of course I do. I love you to"

" you are so amazing and so so brave" Ste started to worry as this is nothing like Brendan.

"Bren...whats wrong?"

"I need to tell you something, something that aint gonna be easy to say"

"ok?" Ste sat up cross-legged on the sofa and shifted uncomfortably.

"you know my dad, and um...what he did to me?"

"yeah, you said he hit ya" Brendan sighed and looked away from Ste, he couldn't look at him at that moment.

"he didn't just hit me though" Brendan's voice broke slightly, his eyes stained with tears. Ste felt very confused.

"what so he said things to you? made fun off you?" Ste asked innocently.

"no, he ahh..."

"..but you said he hit you?"

"yeah he did, he did." Brendan looked round the room then back to Ste who was his source of comfort "and then he would make it up to me, in his own special way" Ste got it then, he started to feel sick frozen to his seat un-able to move from his spot, tears stated pouring out of his eyes, down his face. he wanted to hug Brendan, to comfort him but he was so shocked and so sorry for not knowing sooner.

Brendan looked into Ste's eyes and saw worry, pity, disgust.

"what didn't you tell me?"

"I thought that you wouldn't want to know" Brendan was crying now, he tried to keep it in, he tried to be a man but he couldn't, he just had to let it out.

"I don't think any differently off you"

"you should.."

"no!"

"Steven. I'm sorry that i didn't tell you. please just, I love you. can we just go to bed...and I mean just to sleep? please. we can talk about it tomorrow" Brendan got up and stater to walk towards to door and Ste followed soon after.

Ste got into bed with Brendan and wrapped his arms around him "I'm never going to stop protecting you" and for once in his life, Brendan actually felt safe, here in Ste's arms.
