Let me know how you all like this chapter and if I should end it here. If you have any ideas on how to add on let me know I don't have any more ideas at the moment.
Brendan Kept looking at Ste walking away and somehow he knew that Ste would turn him down and why shouldn't he, he was in his face almost all the time, that's why he hide himself at home with those handful of scripts to keep him busy without thinking of Ste but even that didn't seem to work. Brendan left the park once he couldn't see Ste anymore and he walked away back to Cheryl's place where he was staying until Cheryl and Declan moved back to Ireland.
"What the hell was that?" screamed Cheryl once Brendan walked into the house.
"What?" asked Brendan even though he knew what Cheryl was talking about.
"Why are you being that way with Ste?" asked Cheryl who was sitting on the couch.
"Steven doesn't want me around he made that obviously clear at the Dog earlier.
"Don't understand" said Cheryl calming down.
"He said he can't forgive me or forget what I've done to him because I'm always around him so I left him at the bar then you invited him to share pizza with us. I didn't even want to be here because he doesn't want me around I'm trying not to be around him. But I just did something stupid and it just slammed in my face.
"What are blabbering about?" asked Cheryl confused.
Brendan sat down next to Cheryl on the couch.
"I asked him to have dinner with at my house, no strings attached."
"You did?" asked Cheryl in shock.
"Yeah I did and Ste came back with a mean remark so I give up"
"Just give him a break. You really hurt him Brendan"
"I know. I don't know what to do"
"Maybe it's best not to be in Hollyoaks. I think you should go back home at least for a few days or a few weeks."
Brendan just nodded his head.
"You're right. Good night Chez, tell Declan I'll see him in a few days"
Brendan hugged Cheryl and left her house and walked to his car and drove away.

Ste walked in his house and Amy was sitting on the couch.
"What happened?" asked Amy
"Sorry I'm late just needed to take a walk" said Ste
"What happened?" Amy asked again
"I think I keep hurting Brendan's feelings"
"Do you even care if you do?"
"I shouldn't but I do. He's so different now"
"Yeah I can tell" said Amy
Ste sat down next to Amy on the couch.
"He told me that he wanted me to come back to Hollyoaks because he missed me, when he bought me a beer at the Dog earlier"
"That does sound like a changed Brendan" said Amy in shock
"I said something stupid to him though something like it's hard for me to forgive and forget what you have done since you want leave me alone and then without a goodbye he left."
Amy shook her head.
"Then I make it up to him I made him and his family an extra-large pizza. I saw him walking into Cheryl's house that's how I knew he was there."
"OK, so what happened after that?"
"Cheryl and Declan wanted me to stay and join them for pizza but Brendan didn't he was rude towards me and after he ate his slice of pizza he left without saying goodbye."
Amy yet again shook her head.
"Then I was walking home when he saw me and stopped me and I think he asked me out on a date but again I acted like shit towards him."
"Wait what, rewind. He asked you out?" asked Amy in shock
Ste nodded his head.
"Yeah kinda" said Ste softly
"What you mean kinda?" asked Amy curious
"He asked me to come over his place for dinner tomorrow night that it was no strings attached"
"What did you say to that?"
"Don't hold your breath" said Ste putting his head down and his fingers in his hair.
"What?! The guy that you have liked forever just asked you to have a home cooked meal at his place and you said that"
"I know, I'm shit" said Ste with his head still down.
"I think you're scared"
"What?!" said Ste lifting his head up.
"Yeah, you're scared shitless, you're afraid to get close to him again. Afraid that he might hurt you again, but most of all I think you're afraid that he feels the same way that you feel about him and don't try to deny it, I know you still love him."
Ste nodded his head.
"You're right about everything" said Ste before hugging Amy
"Good night" said Ste getting up from the couch.
"Good night love"
Ste walked inside his bedroom.
FEW HOURS LATER:
When Ste woke up and left his room to take a shower he saw a note on the kitchen table
Ste
I called Cheryl to get Brendan's address. Here it is. I really think you should go tonight, if you don't you might regret it. Have fun
Love ya
Amy
Ste shook his head and walked into the bathroom.

Ste walked into the deli and Rae and Doug were already there.
"Good morning" said Ste a bit tired
"Good morning" said Rae and Doug in unison.
"What's new?" asked Rae
"I'm going on a date tonight" said Ste not excited about it
"Oh who's the lucky man?" asked Doug in shock
"Brendan Brady" Ste said not too happily
"What, are you serious" asked Rae in shock
"How did that come about?" asked Doug
"He asked me to have dinner with him at his place. At first I said no but Amy said to give him another change so I'm going."
"Good" said Doug
Ste and Rae went into the kitchen to prepare the Panini's for lunch and Doug helped bring in the dishes used to put the different chopped up vegetables in each for the salads and sandwiches.
"Oh, I have a surprise for you later" said Ste to Rae
"Oh really?" asked Rae excited
"Yeah, should be here at lunch time"
"Cool" said Rae
"What's going on?" asked Doug curiously
"Ste has a surprise for me" said Rae excitedly
LATER ON:
Doug, Ste, and Rae heard the door open and Ste looked up to see who it was and there he was Rae's Surprise.
"Hey Ste, thanks for inviting me for lunch" said Declan, waving at Ste
"Hey Rae your surprise is here" said Ste happily
Rae looked up to see someone she had never met before but he was really cute.
"Come here" said Ste to Rae as he walked over to Declan
"I want you to me someone" said Ste to Rae as she walked over to him.
"Hi" said Rae shyly
"Hi" said Declan
"This here is Declan; one of Brendan's children and Declan this is my best friend; Rae, if you hurt her I'll kill you" said Ste with a smile
"I'm not my father" laughed Declan
Ste walked over to Doug.
"Their cute together" said Doug
Ste just nodded his head.
"Hi, Rae, it's nice to finally meet you, like Ste said I'm Declan. I think your DJing skills are off the chain" said Declan with a smile.
"Oh, you were there on Sunday?" asked Rae
"Yeah, couldn't keep my eyes off you"
"Oh thanks" said Rae blushing
"Rae sit down and have your lunch break. I'll bring something for the both of you" said Ste
"Hey Ste what's up with you and my dad?" asked Declan curiously
"I thought you couldn't stand the man, after what he did to you"
"Oh you know about that?" asked Ste in shock.
"Yeah, he told me everything. He was so angry with himself, he stopped working, stayed in his room and drank himself to sleep"
"I didn't know that" said Ste coming back to the two with a tray of sandwiches and cold cans of soda.
"Thanks" said Rae and Declan in unison.
"Yeah well it's true I couldn't stand him for the longest time. I never wanted to come back."
"Why did you?" asked Declan
"Because of Doug and this deli"
Doug smiled in the back of the kitchen.
"I know he's happy that your back, I can see it. But you make him nervous."
"I do?" asked Ste in shock
"Yeah" said Declan with a mouthful of food.
"He's afraid to do or say anything wrong to upset you and scared what you will say" said Declan
"He knows where we stand with each other"
"I know he kissed you. He told Cheryl"
"He did" asked Ste in shock
"Yeah but he was upset though"
"He was?"
"Yeah I could tell in his voice"
"Oh said Ste in shock
"Well you both get to know each other I'll be working in the Kitchen"
"Thanks again" said Declan

Brendan was in his office looking over scripts when he heard the doorbell ring. He looked at the time on his wall clock and it was 6:30, he looked upset knowing that Ste didn't show up for dinner so he just busied himself with work. He heard the bell ring again and that time he stood up and walked to the door and saw someone going down the stairs, it looked like Ste. Brendan was in shock.
"Steven is that you?" asked Brendan in shock
Ste turned around to face Brendan
"Yeah, it's me, I was just leaving, I'm sorry"
"No, it's fine come in, I wasn't expecting you. You should have called to let me know. I didn't prepare anything" said Brendan still in shock over the fact his Steven was there.
'His Steven' thought Brendan
"Yeah I wanted to surprise you"
"It's a good surprise"
'Man he looks so good" thought Brendan as Ste walked in his house. Ste was in tight fitted dark blue jeans and a light gray zipped hoodie.
'He smells so good too, fuck me' thought Brendan
'I'm in deep trouble' Brendan's mind going haywire with thoughts.
"I didn't realize you had so many stairs" said Ste
"Uh, yeah, well I didn't want you to get hurt more than you were already" said Brendan
Ste walked into the living room and unzipped his hoodie, took it off, then placed it on the couch.
'Ohmigod' screamed Brendan's thoughts as he stared at Ste's tight black shirt.
"Working out at the gym I see" 'Did I just say that out loud' thought Brendan.
"Yeah, have to with the deli and all don't want to get fat"
"You look good. I really like what you did with your hair."
"Thanks" said Ste blushing
"Why don't you finish what you were doing, I'll cook something"
"You sure, I'm the one who invited ye?"
"I'm more than sure"
"Thanks"
Brendan walked into his office and cleaned away his desk and ran into the bathroom for a quick shower. Once out of the shower he put on a pair of black jeans and a v neck gray shirt that he knew Ste liked on him and spiked up his hair the way Ste liked it.
Brendan got out of the bathroom and took a deep breath.
'Open up to him, you're doing really good of that so far,' thought Brendan as he nodded his head.
'Don't be so nervous and angry with whatever he says to you. You have no right to be' thought Brendan. All this thinking was making Brendan light headed.
When Brendan walked into the kitchen Ste was at the stove.
"I thought since it's a special occasion I would decorate the dining room. I hope you don't mind?"
"Yeah sure"
Brendan walked into the dining room and two candles were lit and salad where in nice bowls and a bottle of red wine was on the table with crystal wine glasses.
'How romantic' thought Brendan.
Ste walked into the dining room with a huge bowl of Spaghetti and meatballs.
"That smells great"
"Thanks"
"Here let me help you" said Brendan as he took the bowl from Ste's hand.
"Thanks I'll be right back"
Ste came back with a plate of garlic bread.
Ste and Brendan sat down and Ste poured some wine in his glass.
"I hope you don't mind I went looking around"
"No not at all"
Brendan poured some of wine in his glass.
"What's the occasion?" asked Brendan curious
"To us on being friends again I hope" Said Ste making a toast
"'Great he thinks of us as friends prefect' thought Brendan sarcastically
They ate their salads and when it came down to having the spaghetti and meatballs Ste let Brendan take some first.
Brendan's mind wondered off to Lady and the Tramp and it made Brendan want to kiss Ste all over again.
"Brendan what are you thinking of?"
"It's nothing"
"Please tell me, no matter what it is; I won't get angry I promise. You don't have to be nervous around me"
Brendan took a deep breath.
"I'll tell you later"
"Promise"
"Yes I promise" said Brendan with a nod of his head.
They ate their plate of food in silence until they were done eating.
"This is really good" said Brendan
"Thanks" Ste said before licking the sauce from the corner of his mouth.
'What a talented tongue' thought Brendan
Brendan was getting an erection.
'No strings attached my ass, I want him so badly' thought Brendan
"So what was it that you were going to tell me before?" asked Ste
"I was thinking about Lady and the Tramp"
"How romantic" said Ste with a smile
"And it got thinking about how badly I want to kiss you again"
"Oh" said Ste speechless.
"I never did tell you how beautiful you looked at that at the club"
"No but I felt it" said Ste laughing.
Brendan just nodded his head.
"I never told you how sexy you looked that night" said Ste blushing.
"Thanks" said Brendan huskily
"And one more thing, since we're being honest, I had been waiting for that kiss for years, I thought about it a lot" said Ste
"Stop it" said Brendan huskily a tone of voice that Ste had never heard coming out of Brendan's mouth.
"What?" said Ste curious
Brendan got up from his chair not caring if Ste could see how turned on he was.
"Oh" said Ste laughing.
Brendan bent down on his knees by Ste's chair.
"You have no idea how much you're driving me crazy"
"Am I?" asked Ste seductively
Brendan nodded his head.
"I know I said no strings attached but right now I want you Steven, I want you so bad it hurts"
"I can tell" said Ste laughing
"I'm serious"
"I know"
They stared into each other's eyes. They moved closer to one another until their lips locked hard against the other and both moaned.
Brendan stood up hold Ste so he could stand up and this time Brendan felt Ste's erection.
'God, he still wants me' thought Brendan happily
Brendan moved Ste backwards to his bedroom and lied Ste down on the bed and they stopped kissing for they were out of breath.
"God, you're so handsome" said Brendan cupping Ste's face in his hands.
"Shut up and kiss me" said Ste
They kissed each other hard and Brendan rubbed his erection against Ste's.
"Feels so good" moaned Ste stopping the kiss.
They took each other's shirts off and Brendan began to kiss and suck on Ste's neck.
Ste grabbed Brendan's arse and grinded their crotches together.
Brendan moaned in Ste's ear.
Brendan's chest hair felt so good on Ste's cleared shaved one.
Brendan lowered his body down so that he could suck on each one of Ste's nipples started with the left one.
"Oh god" groaned Ste
Brendan put his hands down Ste's pants and grabbed a hold of Ste's hard on while licking up Ste's chest.
"Oh yes" moaned Ste
Brendan took his hand out from Ste's pants and looked into Ste's eyes.
"You sure you want this?" asked Brendan concerned.
Ste nodded his head.
"I want you so bad Brendan" said Ste in a moan
"Good" Brendan undid Ste's pants and pulled them down along with his boxers.
"Perfect" said Brendan before kissing Ste on the lips.
Ste took off Brendan's pants as well and began to blush since it was his first time being with a man.
Brendan reached over to get the bottle of lube and a condom packet from the night stand.
"Are you sure" asked Brendan again
Ste just nodded his head.
Brendan put some lube on his finger and rubbed it against Ste's opening and Ste hissed. Brendan put his finger in Ste gently. It was so tight and it felt like heaven to Brendan. Brendan went in deeper with his finger and hit Ste's prostate.
"Oh god" screamed Ste
"You feel incredible" said Brendan
"More please" pleaded Ste
Brendan took his finger out and put the condom on and put some lube on it and gently moved inside Ste.
"Steven, so tight" moaned Brendan
Brendan moved deeper and hit Ste's prostate. Brendan loved the sounds coming from Ste.
"Kiss me Brendan"
Brendan kissed Ste deeply as he was rocking back and forth, both with tongues in each other's mouths. Ste began scratching at Brendan's back like an animal which felt good to Brendan
"So close" moaned Ste as he stopped the kiss.
"Let go" moaned Brendan as sweat was pouring off him.
Brendan gave Ste a hand job.
"Baby let yourself go"
"Oh god" moaned Ste as he came in Brendan's hand, same moment Brendan filled the condom. Both smiled and laughed. Both covered in sweat and tired. Brendan got out of Ste and took the condom off he made a knot in it and stood up to threw the condom away. When Brendan returned to the bed he had a towel in his hand and gave it to Ste to clean up with.
Brendan cuddled close to Ste holding him in his arms.
"I love you" whispered Brendan in Ste's ear.
"I love you too" said Ste with a deep smile.
