Chapter Fourteen

After a few more days of staying and making Bridge sure that his father was going to be alright, Bridge and Sky returned to their home. It had been a few weeks since they had returned home and the guy had gotten word that everything with his father's surgery had gone fine. He was still resting in the hospital, recovering from the surgery, but things were going to be alright.

At the moment, Sky and Bridge had the day off, so Bridge decided to spend the day at his boyfriend's home, giving himself some time to relax. In between his job and numerous phone calls with his mother, he had done nothing but keep himself awake. Now that he was totally sure that things were good, he took a moment to breathe.

He sat on the floor, his back pressed against the couch as he heard Sky busying himself somewhere in his kitchen. The man was actually going to cook, something he hadn't done a while, but he didn't want to order pizza again because it seemed that all they ever ate was pizza.

Just as he began searching through his fridge, though, he heard his phone going off. He reached towards the counter, snatching it up with a quick, "Hello!"

"Sky!" came a familiar voice, making him immediately smile at hearing it. "It's Michelle!"

"Hey," he grinned, leaning his bottom against the counter as he turned to face his living room, seeing Bridge peeking over the couch in curiosity. "How's my little sister?"

"She's absolutely fantastic! Today was the last day of school," the girl rambled from the other side, sounding more excited than ever. "My graduations in a few weeks… you are coming, right?"

He nodded his head, despite her not being able to see him. Bridge watched the young man carry on his conversation, unable to hear what he was saying. Assuming that it was none of his business, he sunk back down to the floor, waiting to be told what was going on, if anything.

Eventually, Sky rushed back into the living room, taking a seat on the couch. "That was my sister," he stated with a proud smile on his face. "She's graduation in two weeks and I'm heading to Virginia," he stated then with another nod, stretching a little bit over the couch.

"Oh, I want to go," Bridge said excitedly, turning his body so he could get a better look at Sky, who suddenly didn't seem as happy about the situation. His beaming and goofy grinned slowly slipped to a frown as he stared at his boyfriend. "What?"

"You probably shouldn't," Sky stated, hoping that was enough to end the conversation, but he knew Bridge was going to argue and start asking questions. "I'll only be gone for a few days and we're just going to go out and eat, see her graduate, and then that's it."

Bridge frowned, turning his back towards Sky before resting it against the bottom of the couch. "It's my turn to meet your family."

"You don't want to meet my family," Sky stated, reaching out and placing his hand on top of his companion's head before ruffling his hair. "Trust me…"

Bridge averted his head from Sky's reach, then returning his glance back to him. "You don't want to introduce me… that's what it is."

Sky sighed, knowing that this was going to happen. Truth was, he didn't want to bring Bridge to Virginia because his parents wouldn't approve. If Bridge didn't go, Sky wouldn't have to stand up to his parents about being with a guy. He wouldn't have to tell them a thing and Bridge wouldn't have to sit there and keep his mouth shut, like he knew Bridge wouldn't do.

"They're not ready," he argued back, Bridge rolling his eyes.

"You're scared," Bridge stated then, crossing his arms over his chest. Sky remained quiet, figuring if he stopped talking, his boyfriend would stop arguing. Of course, he knew better to think that Bridge was going to end it there. "You don't want to tell them because you think they'll hate you."

Sky sighed, laying down against the couch now, resting his head near Bridge's. "I am scared," he stated then, staring across the way at the television before his lover tossed another glance back to him, feeling bad for arguing. "I'm not like you, Bridge, you know that… But if you want to go so bad, then fine. But if I say we're not telling them, then we're not telling them."

"But…"

"I warned you," Sky stated, laying on his back then. "I'm not ashamed of you, so don't start accusing me of that. I'm just scared," he continued then, resting his hands behind his back. Bridge turned so that his chest was facing the couch now before he propped his elbows on the edge of the couch next to where his companion was laying. He pulled himself up on the couch a little bit, his knees against the floor, but his chest leaning over Sky now.

Bridge bit his lip, leaning down to give his boyfriend a kiss on the lips, then leaning his head back. "Sorry," he muttered, Sky leaning up to give him another kiss before getting up from the couch and heading back to make them something to eat for dinner. Bridge sighed, resting his head against the arm rest, knowing that he had made Sky upset, but neither of them were fully going to get their way in this argument.
