Angeal opened the door and stared in shock. "Nathaniel!" He exclaimed as he helped his boyfriend into the apartment.

As Nathaniel was sat I'm the couch Angeal ran to the kitchen and got a rag wet. "Okay, look at me, I need to clean you up." Angeal said gently.

Nathaniel obeyed. He smiled slightly, feeling happy to be near the one he loved. Nathaniel winced slightly as he took a deep breath.

"Shirt off."

Nathaniel blinked in surprise. "What?"

Angeal folded his arms." I saw that. I know your abdomen is hurt too now aswell. Take it off so I can clean you up."

Nathaniel took his shirt off, looking away as he heard Angeal gasp. "Oh sweet Jesus! Nath, what in earth happened to you baby?"

Nathaniel's heart stung as he heard the pure concern and worry. He was too ashamed to look at Angeal, ashamed he had actually shown how weak and pathetic he was.

Angeal gently placed his hand under Nathaniel's chin and made him look his way. "Nath, baby, what happened?"

Nathaniel dived into Angeal's arms, clutching onto him for dear life. He shook he was crying so hard. He felt Angeal hold him and stroke his hair, all while whispering in his ear," Shh, it's okay. Don't cry sweetie, everythings okay now. I got you."

After he had got Nathaniel calmed down and cleaned Angeal started some food. He was stirring noodles when he heard come into the kitchen. He turned and smiled slightly. "Hi baby."

Nathaniel smiled. "If," he started," if you still want to know what happened... IM ready to talk."

Angeal shook his head." No Nath, only talk when you feel safe talking about, not because I want to know."

"I am ready... I trust you enough to tell you... Everything."

Angeal nodded,"Go into the front room, I'll bring food in there and we can talk.

Nothing on their plates were touched as Nathaniel talked. When he was done he looked up to see a furious Angeal.

"WHAT IN THE HELL! That bastard thinks it alright to touch then he is mistaken!"

Nathaniel sighed. "What can be done? He's my father-"

"No," Angeal stopped him,"he doesn't deserve that title. Tomorrow we are going to the court house."

Nathaniel's eyes grew wide."Why?"

Angeal smiled. "Tomorrow we are getting the papers to get you emancipated. From now on your ass is living with me so this shit never happens again."

Nathaniel stared at Angeal for a good three seconds before a huge grin spread onto his face. "Thank you Angeal."

Angeal walked over and kissed the tip of Nathaniel's nose. "Anytime baby."
