Marco yawned and streched his arms out. He climed out of bed scratching his left arm then stood infront of his full length mirror.

He giggled. This is the man who had just lost his court case 28 hours ago. This is the man who couldn't defend himself. This is the man who was sexually assulted. This is the man who he no longer considered a man.

He heard a knock at his door. It was Dylan.

"Come in"

"Hey, glad to see your awake, I just wanted to grab another shirt." Dylan reached into the drawer the Marco cleaned out for him.

"Go ahead" The Italian moved out of the way to let the older man by.

Dylan kissed the younger boy's cheek "Thanks hun. Breakfast is ready" He smiled sweetly heading for the door.

"Dyl."

"humm" Dylan turned back around.

"Come here" Marco grabed the hockey players' arm in direction to sit on the bed.

"What hunny"

"Tonight, you don't have to sleep on the couch. You can sleep in our bed."

"Marco, are you sure?"

"I'm postive" Marco huged his boyfriend tightly.

"I'll never hurt you"

"I know Dyl, that's why I'm finally comfortable with you." Marco smiled breaking from the embrace.

"I love you so much"

"I know. I love you too" Marco stood up " So what's for breakfast?"

Dylan giggled slightly "That's you" He put his arm around the younger boy "Always thinking about food"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So which side do your sleep on?" Dylan asked sweetly staring at the bed next to Marco.

"Dosen't really matter to me"

"Me either"

"How about you take the right, and I take the left?"

"Sounds good to me" Dylan smiled.

Later that night Marco wasn't having very pleast dreams.

"If you fight back I'll cut your throut" The eldest boy whispered into Marco's ear as Marco layed there half naked.

"Please let me go" Marco screamed through his tears.

"aha. funny"

"Stop! Please" Marco kicked "Please I swear I won't tell! I won't! I won't!"

"Marco?" Dylan put his hand on Marco's arm shaking him trying to wake him up.

"No! Don't touch me! Please let me go!" Tears streaming down his face.

"Marco!" Dylan shook him harder until Marco's eyes finally opened.

"Dylan?" Marco could see the top of his head as the moonlight shone through the window.

"Marco it was just a dream"

"Dylan!" Marco lunged himself at Dylan who quickly accepted the embrace. "Dylan it was horrible! It..it was that night all over again." Marco said through his sobs.

"Your alright now Marco. I'm here. I'll protect you" Dylan rubbed his back. "Do you want me to go downstairs?"

"No! There's no place in this entire world I'd rather be but in your arms"

"You don't know how happy it makes me too here that" Dylan kissed Marco's forehead.

"Goodnight"

"Goodnight, and have plesent dreams" Dylan laid back.

"With you, always" Marco smiled and guided Dylan's hands around him and pulled him in close. So close he could feel his warm breath on his nose.

Short and sweet! lol but I really needed to end this chapter here because I was thinking of putting someone else in the next chapter and it'll be a pretty emotional chapter, but I'm not sure though so it's best to end it here.

Review pretty please with suger and ice cream and cherries on top...lol
