Does the Feeling Go Both Ways?

Trey thought about hunting for them. It could wait a while. God, Landon was in such misery. Trey pieced together the problem in his head. It was like Landon had two personalities or maybe it was a real personality and a mask. The mask was a show no fear, show no pain, show no weakness fa?ade. The other one was a broken, vulnerable man who was barely holding himself together. Trey carefully pulled Landon closer, rubbing his shoulders, running fingers through his dark, silky hair. Slowly Landon began to relax. Trey just sat and held him.


??Why are you doing this for me??? Landon murmured. ??I fucked up your life??


??Yeah, you did, but, Lan,?? that was a lifetime ago. I never knew the why until you told me a few days ago. Maybe it??s time to let the past be the past.??
