"You told her?" Frost came up to Korsak's desk the next day. "I can't believe you would do that. You know she gave me a talk? I told you Korsak I didn't want anyone knowing."
"What's the big deal? She was concerned and it's not even happening anymore so I don't understand why you're so upset," Korsak eyed the young man as he leaned back in his chair.
"I don't have to explain why I'm upset I thought you'd respect my wishes to keep what we did private. You don't respect me. And honestly I don't think you ever did."
"It shouldn't bother you, and I do respect you but I know Jane wouldn't have dropped it until I told her. When she wants answers she knows how to get them. I'm sorry if you're upset but it shouldn't matter now right? It's over and Jane was pretty relieved to hear that. We can go on acting like nothing happened."
Frost crossed his arms, "Yeah, nothing happened and nothing will happen again."
"Okay, suit yourself," he shrugged and Frost scrunched up his nose.
"Okay then," Frost turned on his heel about to leave when Detective Crowe came in. Blatantly ignoring Korsak, smiling at Frost.
"Hey Barry. Last night was fun, we should do it again sometime."
"Crowe, not right now," Frost couldn't help but glance at Korsak who scowled at the two of them. "And it was nothing, we just talked," he directed towards Vince before walking away.
Crowe turned his attention to Korsak, "Making the same mistake again, are we?"
"He talked to you but got pissed at me for confiding in Jane?"
"You tried to push him into coming out before he was ready, you did the same thing to me. You would think you'd learn, both people need to be ready and understand what's going on," Crowe told him. "Frost is a very special and delicate being. He deserves something and not be forced into discussing it. You have this way of rushing into things you need to slow the hell down sometimes. He misses you by the way, nothing really happened between me and him, I was just doing it to fuck with you because you were being an idiot. You always were quite... oblivious to everyone's feeling except your own. You need to work on that and maybe, just maybe Frost will come back to you. In the meantime I am more than available to keep you company." Crowe smirked and Korsak was not amused by his final words.
"No offense but I wouldn't go back to you if you were the only person alive on this earth after an apocalypse."
"Are we sure about that Vincent?" Crowe rested his hands on Korsak's desk. "We can keep it amongst ourselves, if you can handle it."
"I'm positive, I'm not yours anymore and honestly I'd rather be alone then to make that mistake again. There's only one man I want and we both know it's not you."
"You really care about Frost, don't you?"
Korsak nodded, "Yes, I really do. I don't want to think about anyone else. So whatever your goal is we're done here."
Crowe smirked and was proud of what he just got Korsak to admit. "Oh we're definitely done here," he stood up straight and went to go have a talk with Frost.
Korsak went home after a long day what he was not expecting was Frost sitting at his front door. He was on his phone doing something when he looked up at the older man hearing his footsteps.
"Hey," Frost stood up looking at Korsak. "I had an interesting talk with Crowe before... about what you said about me. About him coming onto you to test you."
"Test me?" he asked in confusion and Frost nodded.
"Yeah, you passed the test. I didn't much care for his approach but... you don't want to be with anyone else, that's what he said you told him. Is that the truth?" Frost asked in a whisper as if he was afraid to hear the answer.
Korsak nodded, "Of course it's the truth Barry. You don't realize how miserable I've been you doing things that are so unlike you... it made me feel bad about myself."
Frost frowned, "I'm sorry for hurting you Korsak, but I felt like you didn't respect my wishes. Can you respect me better from now on?"
"Of course, I want to do anything I can to work this out. I want to be with you, can we have that again? Something more than just sex though, I want something meaningful," Korsak stepped close to Frost his hands resting on his tie. "I don't care what anyone else thinks. I think I need to be fully honest with you, tell you how this whole thing started."
"The whole thing?"
"Why I was always so angry with you not liking you when you replaced me as Jane's partner. I was kind of in denial, when I met you there was this intense attraction I felt for you. I was sort of jealous that you were taking Jane from me that you got to be the person who got to spend your time with Jane. I guess me hiding my attraction led to the anger and hate I felt for you. I was mad at you for making me feel this way, but I know it was stupid of me. It's not your fault, it just happened. I was confused and angry with myself. The first time we happened was during an argument, but after it happened after that night we spent together I knew in my soul that you are what I wanted, who I wanted. I haven't stopped wanting you. If you want to keep us a secret then that's fine, I shouldn't push you into something like coming out. I want to respect you, I really do."
Frost listened to Korsak explain himself and he nodded, placing a hand on the older man's scruffy cheek. "Can we go inside?" Frost asked and Korsak nodded, opening the door and pulling Frost inside by the hand.
Once the door was closed Frost pressed him against it, loosening his tie. "I thank you for opening up to me. I like this side of you, the gentle caring you. I've missed you, I'm sorry for acting like a dick, those girls, I was in denial about who I was, who I am." Frost pushed the jacket off of Korsak, pausing for a moment. "I'm gay and I'm kind of crazy about you. I know it's bizarre but, I want all of you."
Korsak nodded, "I want all of you too. I'm so proud of you for being honest with me."
"Can I stay here with you tonight? I don't think I want to be alone in my apartment."
"You never have to be alone again," Korsak closed the gap between them, kissing Frost like his life depended on it. Korsak shook his head, who was he kidding, his life did depend on this man before him. It was crazy, but it worked. And he didn't plan on letting him go. That night it was just him and Frost, nothing else seemed to matter besides each other. Vince Korsak was exactly where he wanted to be, no one would ever make him feel guilty about it.
