Chapter 5- A Sleepless Night

Roger laid in bed unable to sleep, his thoughts kept drifting back to the man in the next room. Maybe I do have a one track mind he thought, Maybe Marks right. He rolled over and looked at the clock it was 3:00 am Fuck he thought I just wanna sleep why is this so hard?

Just then the door opened. Roger looked up, and standing in the door frame illuminated by the moonlight was Mark. Roger was ecstatic for a moment until he realized why Mark had come in, he was crying.

"Oh my god Mark what's wrong?"

"Nothing...I...just...need..." Mark said through sobs

"Mark come here" Roger said holding out his arms

Mark walked over and sat down next to him, and Roger put his arms around him and held on tight.

"Baby calm down tell me what's wrong." Roger pleaded.

"I...had..a..."

"Shh shh shh, calm down honey"

Mark sat for a second crying then regained his composure. He took a deep breath.

"I had a dream sniff that I told my parents I was gay, and my dad yelled at me and told me to leave the house. And then I told them you gave me AIDS sniff sniff and..and my father he threatened to kill you if you ever came near me again. So you ran out of the house and I ran after you and you sob were gone!" Mark broke down in tears again

"Oh shh calm down Mark. I would never do that to you, even if your parents say that I will still find a way to be with you. I love you baby." Roger said in a soothing voice

"But...what..if..my father still...doesn't except me...what if he does sob...throw me out of the sniff house?" Mark looked up at Roger like a child would his mother. Looking for love a reassurance.

"Mark thats not gonna happen, I won't let it. We will make your dad see the beauty of our relationship."

"Thanks Roger," Mark said through tears."Can you just hold me a little while longer?"

"Of course Marky anytime."

They sat like that for what seemed liked hours. Roger looked over at the clock, it was 4:30. He looked down, Mark was asleep in his arms, his face still wet with tears."Mark Mark wake up" Mark stirred and looked up at Roger. "You better go back into your own room so your parents don't wake up and find us in here together."

"Fuck them" Mark said,"They're gonna find out anyway. I just wanna lay here with you."

"Mark I know there gonna find out anyway but do you really want them to find out like this?"

"No, good point. Ok I'll go back to my room." Before he got up he pushed Roger down and kissed him long and hard on the lips. "Thank you for comforting me Rog, I needed that"

"Anytime Marky. Now go back to bed." As Mark stood up Roger playfully slapped his ass.

"Ow! God Roger by the time we leave here my ass is gonna be so sore!" Mark said jokingly

"Believe me, thats not the only reason it'll be sore" Roger said with wink

Dam, Mark thought as he walked out of the room, Roger knew how to make anything Mark said into something dirty and sex related. And he loved that about him!
