Curt was worried when Riker wasn't at work or returning his texts or calls. "hey Mega, where's Lynch?" Titus asked "I-I don't know and I'm really worried" Curt said. The director called everyone to set and they began their day.
Curt changed and rushed out to his car because Riker still hadn't called or texted him. He drove to Riker's house and knocked on the door. A blonde girl answered the door smiling. "can I help you?" The girl asked "is Riker here?" Curt asked "yes, who are you?" The blonde asked "Curt, wait you must be his sister. Rydel?" Curt asked "yeah that's me and I know exactly who you are. he's in his room. my dad just can't know you're here" Rydel explained showing Curt to Riker's room.
Curt walked into the room and gasped. He saw Riker laying on the floor not moving. "Riker, oh my god. what happened?" Curt asked "m-my dad" Riker choked out. Curt helped Riker up and onto the bed. "how long have you been there?" Curt asked "since yesterday" Riker sighed leaning on Curt. "I am packing you some stuff and you are staying with me. It pisses me off how horribly your dad treats you" Curt said "there's a bag over there and my clothes are in the dresser" Riker told Curt weakly so Curt threw some clothes into the bag. Curt helped Riker outside to his car.
Riker walked into Curt's apartment and laid on the bed. "hey let me look at you and see how bad you got beat up" Curt commanded so Riker sat up. Curt took Riker's shirt off of him and looked at the bruises. "my head hurts" Riker whimpered as Curt lightly touched the bruises. "did he hit your head?" Curt asked so Riker nodded. "I'm taking you to the doctor" Curt said handing Riker his shirt. "no, I'm fine" Riker whined "if you were fine then you would be able to walk on your own and you would've been at work today" Curt told him helping him up.
The two sat in a room waiting for Riker's results to come back. "ok, Riker. you don't have any major damage done. Just a lot of bruising and you're head hurts from being hit. you can't walk because who ever beat you up bruised you from head to toe. just take some pain killers and get plenty of sleep" The doctor explained so the two boys nodded and left.
Riker laid in Curt's bed and groaned. "what's wrong?" Curt asked "I hurt. everywhere" Riker mumbled "I know, let's just go to sleep" Curt told him. Riker cuddled close to Curt and sighed "I love you, Curt."
"I love you too, Riker" the two drifted to sleep together soon after.
Riker woke up really sore and groaned. "hey, how are you feeling?" Curt asked "like shit" Riker mumbled "it's saturday so we can just hand out here all day" Curt told him so Riker rested his head on Curt's chest. "I wouldn't have gotten up anyway" Riker mumbled causing Curt to chuckle. "you're adorable" Riker smiled and kissed Curt. Riker sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I need a shower" Riker said realizing how nasty his hair had gotten. "right there" Curt said pointing to the bathroom. Riker nodded and limped over to the bathroom.
After twenty minutes Riker laid back in the bed still really sore. But clean now. "feel better?" Curt asked "a little" Riker sighed stared at the ceiling. Curt smirked and sat up. He looked at Riker and sat on Riker's pelvis. He leaned forward and kissed Riker softly. Curt started to move his hips on Riker's pelvis causing him to moan softly. After he was sure Riker had a boner he got off. "tease" Riker mumbled "you feel better now?" Curt smirked so Riker nodded.
Riker got bored so he checked his phone. He had a bunch of messages from his dad. He ignored them for now. He smiled but that suddenly went away when he got a sharp pain in his head. Riker squeezed his eyes shut and tried not to cry. "hey what's wrong?" Curt asked "my head hurts" Riker said with tears in his eyes. Curt opened the night stand drawer and handed Riker some pain killers.
Riker told Curt he had to use the bathroom so he went in the bathroom and pulled a cigarette out of his pocket. He lit it and started smoking. Smoking always helped Riker in tough situations or when he was stressed out. He threw the cigarette in the toilet then sprayed some air freshener to rid the room of the smell of smoke. He walked back out and hugged Curt. "I'm bored" Riker whined "you wanna go shopping or to the movies?" Curt asked so Riker nodded.
They got to the movies but there was a problem. "Riker!" Rydel squealed and hugged him "ow" Riker whispered "hey Riker where have you been?" Ross asked "at Curt's" Riker mumbled "why?" Rocky asked "to stay away from dad so he can't beat me up" Riker explained "who's Curt?" Ryland asked "my boyfriend" Riker smiled slightly then Curt walked over. "come on. the movie is about to start" Curt told Riker so Riker walked off with him.
When the two walked out of the theater it was already dark. Riker felt someone grab him so he screeched. He was thrown to the ground and someone started beating him up. "you little fuck boy think you can sleep with you boyfriend to avoid me" Mark growled "I was hoping it would work" Riker grumbled causing Mark to punch Riker.
Curt saw Mark hit Riker so he walked over and punched Mark. Mark looked at Curt. Curt grabbed Riker's hand and they ran to Curt's car. Curt quickly drove back to his apartment while Riker sat in the passengers seat dazed. "are you ok?" Curt asked "yeah" Riker sighed then reached into his pocket. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "you're barely seventeen, why are you smoking?" Curt asked "it helps make the pain go away" Riker explained and took a drag on the cigarette. "you shouldn't smoke, that shit will kill you" Curt told him "before or after my dad does?" Riker asked "never mind. I'm just going to leave you to do what ever you want right now" Curt sighed and pulled into his parking space.
Riker sat next to Curt and sighed. "are you mad at me?" Riker asked "why would I be mad at you?" Curt asked "for smoking" Riker replied "no, I just didn't expect you to do that" Curt sighed "I don't do it very often" Riker sighed "it's ok, I'm not mad" Curt assured him. Riker smiled and cuddled close to Curt. "I love you" Riker smiled.
