"AJ open up" said Nick.

"Just a second" called AJ staggering from the bathroom.

"Where is he" said Nick looking around.

"Where is who?" asked AJ.

"The guy you were with" said Nick.

"With, why would you think I was with someone" said AJ stammering.

"Because everyone knows you only lock the door when your hiding something."

"Their's no one here. I was in the shower. I didn't want anyone to come in. I..."

Whoa! Take it easy, I was just kidding. So who did you think was going to come in" said Nick smiling.

"I don't know. Kevin, Brian."

"Hello, what's the big deal. It's not like they haven't all seen you naked before" said Nick.

"I just wanted a little privacy is their anything wrong with that" snapped AJ.

"No."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you. Just give me a minute and I'll get dressed" said AJ.

"How about I help you" said Nick smiling.

"No. I mean if you help me we might never get too that shopping" said AJ nervously.

"Your probably right."

Staring at the ceiling Howie almost couldn't believe things had gone so easliy. AJ hadn't fought. No he loved his precious fucking Nick too much. What did he see in him. Nick was a kid. He was a man. He could make AJ happy and soon he would. Soon AJ would forget all about his precious Nick.

"Let's get a cab" said AJ.

"The market is only a few blocks down. We don't need a cab. We can walk it, easy" said Nick.

Easy, every step he took was pain. How could could this be happening. How could have forced him to have sex. They were friends, they were brothers. It all seemed surreal but it wasn't. The pain shooting through his body was very real. He had wanted AJ to think about him every second and somehow he had succeeded.

"Your awfully quiet" said Nick.

"I was just thinking I guess" said AJ.

"Don't you know with your brain that thinking is dangerous" said Nick smiling.

"Your such such a smart ass" said AJ.

"A smart ass who loves you."
