Between Father & Son

Hunter and Audrey continued to talk as friends after the breakup, and everyone still assumed they were together because the two weren't showing any signs that they weren't. The two would hug, smile, and share kisses on the cheek but nothing more and no one said anything about it not looking right. Hunter was busy working Monday through Saturday from 4 am to 6 pm now, and Audrey had school from 7 am to 2 pm, then she would do her homework until 4 pm, finally goes to work from 4:30 to 9:30 at her part time job of waitressing in Gobber's diner. Hunter helped get her the job, and so far, he hasn't regretted the decision. Audrey was a hard worker, trying to save up money to get a car and for college tuition when September came around, and she started her schooling again. Right now, it was April, the second week of the month as Hunter chose to use this Sunday as the one to talk to his father about what he should do about the current situation.

It was going to be a weird conversation, but Hunter knew that if anyone could help, it was his father so today would be the day. It was 2:30 pm, Viola was working until 4 pm, and Caitlyn was at the make-up baseball game since Saturday's was rained out with Audrey, Renee, Fisher, Travis, and Eddie. Drew and Shane played for the team and Heather was a cheerleader. Hunter knew that his father in the living room while Hunter sat nervously in his room trying to figure out how to start this.

'Don't be a coward, Hunter. It's just your dad, and you are talking about you being bisexual and being in love with your best friend, also that you had sex with him already on a very drunken night. Come on, get it together and just tell him you need to talk to him,' Hunter thought as he took a deep breath and exited his room. Hunter walked down the hall and saw his father watching a wrestling match on TV.

"Hey, son. How was your nap?" Salvatore greeted with a smile.

"It was alright. Um, Dad, I-I really need to talk to you about something serious and hope to Odin you might be able to help me with," Hunter stated outright. Sal saw the severity in his son's eyes, so he shut the TV off then grabbed two beers from the refrigerator and cracked them open while sitting down and handing one to Hunter.

"Okay, Hunter. How serious is this on the scale of not telling your mother or sister because the last time we did this, you asked me to let you get your GED and join the army at sixteen," Sal inquired slowly.

"Let me use the military mission scale; ten as in she'll fucking kill me," Hunter replied.

"Oh, Hunter...What did you do, son?" Salvatore got worried.

Hunter lowered his head with a sigh and closed eyes. "I-I cheated on Audrey because of a drunken night with Trey," Hunter admitted before glancing up to his father.

"Wait, you mean you cheated on Audrey by...sleeping with Treyden while you two were drunk?" Salvatore questioned to make sure he had it right. Hunter nodded to confirm the question for his father. "I assume this is a problem because it was a lot more than a kiss, wasn't it?" Hunter nodded again. Sal sat back a little shocked and took a long sip of his beer. "Alright, just...tell me what happened first. I know you're bisexual, so I don't have to ask where the desire came from but I do have to know where this started,"

"The short version is that I was pretty miserable on my birthday, well, the 28th since next year is the leap year but what happened was Trey learned I was spending it alone because Audrey was sick, you guys were out of town, and my friends were busy. So, Trey grabbed some snacks, Soco, and a twelve pack of Archian Mead bottles. We went to his room to watch TV, listen to music and relax. I wanna say we had seven shots of Soco and four beers each in the course of three hours and at some point, just turned off the TV and sat there talking. I still don't remember much of the conversation, and neither does he," Hunter began to explain.

"Well, tell me what you do remember?" Salvatore offered.

"Finishing off our fourth beers, Trey asked why I seemed so down lately after I'd just gotten back with Audrey and I confessed to him I wasn't happy with her, that things weren't the same. Trey told me that it's because I forgave her but can't forget what she did so that fear will always exist that she hurts me again. Then I admitted to Treyden that while broken up with Audrey, I started liking someone else and he didn't know it but that person was him. However, I figured Trey was straight so there would never be a chance of us being together. I was saying I liked him without...saying it. You know like a mention without giving names," Hunter continued.

"I get it. Anything else get said?" Sal asked.

"Trey wondered why I didn't tell this person I like them and I said it's because they were straight, this was me assuming that Treyden was. I admitted to Trey I was bi, but only you knew about it. Trey admitted to me he liked someone who was taken and happy, he also said that he was gay and only his parents knew about it. We talked about a few other things; then he mentioned that I was lucky to have gotten to experience love, sex, and everything because he'd never even been kissed. And...I don't know what came over me but I just leaned over and kissed him, and he returned it. After I had pulled away, I told him it was him that I liked. It went blank after that except for the random sections of the sex we had for two hours," Hunter informed.

"And how did things go the next morning, I notice you came back to live here a few days after your birthday. Are you and Treyden still friends?" Salvatore inquired.

"Oh, absolutely. Trey and I are still the best of friends. He just...doesn't remember me telling him that I like him, we agreed that it was just a really drunken night and put it behind us, to never talk about it again, but we also said it was an incredible evening. I mean, it was nothing like what I had with Audrey. But...I'm sure you don't want the details," Hunter stated quickly as Salvatore nodded in agreement.

"Hunter doesn't remember me telling him that I like him but Dad, it was a fantastic night. I couldn't believe how drunk we were but how easy he was with me knowing I'd never done things like that before. I just...don't know what to do. No one except you and Hunter know I'm gay, and he said he liked someone else who he thinks is straight. Well, Mom knew I was gay too, but you understand," Treyden finished explaining the story to his father. Yes, Treyden was also confused about what to do, and he decided to confront his father about it. So Trey just told his dad about the night and how things started.

"Well, makes sense why you were both so tired now. Hope Harry didn't drill you too hard for it?" Dustin chuckled a bit.

"No, Hunter told him we were sick, and Harry gave us the rest of that week off. And this isn't funny, Dad. Seriously, what do I do? D-Do I pursue Hunter?" Treyden asked.

"Unfortunately, my boy, you have to remember that Hunter is with someone right now. And you said yourself that he was happy, though, I doubt things will stay that way if she finds out or he ends up telling her the truth about what happened. I'm sure the guilt will force him to at some point. Though he loved the night with you as you put it, he knows he was unfaithful and keeping a secret from the woman he's with. You've also mentioned that this is the girl who hurt him for lying and keeping secrets, so it's my assumption he won't do to her what she did to him," Dustin informed.

Treyden sighed heavily. "So I should just...give up on it? It's not like he likes me anyway,"

"I wouldn't go quite the far, Trey. Listening to your story, you said that Hunter wanted someone else while broken up with the girl he's back with but didn't pursue it because he didn't know if this person was straight. How are you so sure he wasn't talking about you being that person?" Dustin asked as Treyden lifted his head quickly.

"What are you getting at, Dad?" Treyden questioned now, apparently confused.

"Your words were that you liked someone who was taken and seemed happy. While talking, you were referring to Hunter without telling him that it was him you wanted because he's with someone and confessed he wasn't happy with her and started liking someone else while they were broken up," Dustin informed. Treyden nodded to him trying to understand what was his father was saying to him. "Hunter said he didn't pursue this other person because he assumed the person was straight, Hunter didn't know you were gay until after he mentioned being bisexual. Also, didn't you said that Hunter was afraid it would ruin his friendship with the person he liked and didn't Hunter ask you the next morning if you two were still friends?" Trey nodded again. "What if he was talking about you just as you were talking about him? You get my meaning?" his father asked.

Treyden's eyes widened a little. "Y-You think he started liking me? The night I told him I was gay when he said he was bisexual and unhappy with Audrey but Hunter admitted to never saying anything in fear thinking it would ruin our friendship and that I was straight?" Trey asked as his father shrugged.

"Can you deny the possibility? Just think about it. You know that you are Hunter's best friend and also that his friends, plus the others in your squad are straight. You got jealous of him being in a relationship with Audrey, so you started liking him, and Hunter mentioned wanting someone else during the breakup but who was he around the most? You," Dustin replied.

"Never thought that I could have been the one he liked," Treyden stated. "I foggily remember him telling me something after we kissed. Him saying 'It you, Trey,' I asked him what he meant and he said," Trey's eyes widened again. "He said 'One I like,' Oh, my Gods," he gasped and Dustin smiled.

"Don't forget you were wasted that night and didn't realize that he said he was unhappy with her, but you assumed he was initially. And it discouraged you because he said he liked someone else and couldn't give all his love to Audrey. If he was willing to have sex with you, then I think it's because he saw the chance to be with you because he likes you just as you knew it was him you liked and gave yourself to him because an opportunity was there." Dustin told his son. "My advice son, get closer to him because I'm sure that he and that Audrey girl are not going to last much longer and that will be your chance again to get him. I wouldn't let it get away,"

"I won't. Thanks, Dad," Treyden smiled and hugged his father with a new goal in mind; pursue Hunter and be with him.

"I knew I cheated on Audrey and...I hid it from her for a month until she tried to have sex with me and I couldn't anymore, so I told her the truth. We aren't together either, Audrey said things didn't feel the same for her either, and it was better if we went back to being friends. Everyone thinks we're dating, but she's just...covering for me, so no one finds out I'm bisexual. You...know how Mom and Caitlyn feel about it," Hunter sighed to his Dad while explaining the fact Audrey and he broke up but were staying friends.

"You know everyone is going to find out, son. I've known for years about your sexuality, but I think it's time for you to come out about it to your friends, mother, and sister. Especially if you want a relationship with Treyden now that you know he's gay also," Salvatore insisted to him.

"I know, I just...don't know how to tell them. Back when I was still healing from the gunshot wound, everything assumed I was gay because I told Treyden that I would always have his back as he's had mine until the day I day. The others were joking around saying to get a room and Caitlyn made mention of hoping I wasn't gay because Mom would have a heart attack. Shane said it wasn't their place to judge but asked me outright if I was gay and I told them now. But added in my thoughts I was bisexual. I didn't technically lie; I'm not gay, I like both," Hunter sighed.

"You can't hide it forever, especially if you want a chance with Trey, son," Salvatore reminded.

"He likes someone else, Dad," Hunter grumbled.

"I think you perceive this from the drunken view based on what was said that night. Think about your words to me, Hunter. You told Treyden you liked someone else and didn't say anything because of fear that it would ruin your friendship and that the person was straight. But you never told him he was the one you talked about until right before you made love and he doesn't remember, right?" Sal asked, and Hunter nodded. "Then Treyden tells you he's gay, but the person he likes is with someone else and appeared happy. What if he was talking about you?"

"Y-You think that Treyden was referring to me when he said that?" Hunter exclaimed.

"It's not so farfetched, son. Appearing happy in his relationship, you seemed happy, but you weren't, and you told him that but being drunk, it probably didn't register because of the alcohol. I think you two were talking about one another. You spoke about him, and he was referring to you. No one else in your squad is gay or bisexual, and Trey is your best friend. Weren't you even afraid that your night together would have destroyed the friendship?" Sal mentioned as Hunter's eyes widened.

"Oh my Gods, you're right. It's...kind'a coming back now. Right after I kissed him, I told him I was talking about him, and he said...'You who I like.' We didn't realize it because we thought the other person talked about someone else, " Hunter gasped. So Treyden was talking about him! Treyden liked him!

"Now, you have to tell everyone about being bisexual, and the break up that came from the night you had with Trey," Salvatore put a hand on Hunter's shoulder with a smile. "And I'll be right there with ya," he added. "After all that, you can go get him as your lover," Sal chuckled.

"Thanks, Dad. And don't worry, I don't intend on letting him get away," Hunter replied while he and Sal clinked their beers together and took a drink. Hunter knew what he needed to do and he didn't care about the outcome either, as long as he got to see Treyden and tell him how he felt. It was the same on Trey's end; he was going to find a time to tell Treyden that he liked him as soon as he was gone from Audrey again. It was unbelievable that the fathers seemed to know exactly what to say to boost the confidence and make their sons feel better. The bond between father and son was truly incredible, and neither of the young men ever wanted to lose what they had with their fathers.
