Chapter 52 (End)

After a few moments, Leon pulled out of Seth's exhausted body and laid next to him. His breath had started to calm down. He pulled Seth into his arms and began to stoke his hair that was damp.

"I think that was the first time we ever came at the same time." Leon spoke. His breath still a bit haggard.

"Yeah. I guess it was." Seth responded.

"Seth." Seth looked up at Leon. "I do promise that this time I will be a better boyfriend then I was in the past."

"You better be." Seth spoke in a stern voice. "My kids actually like you, and Michael, well, he was pretty pissed when he found you were making out with some women."

"I wasn't making out." Leon retorted. Seth sat up a bit to look at Leon.

"Listen. I really do love you, and my kids like you as well. I want to be happy. I feel like I can be happy just with you, but that is only if you stay true to me." Seth stared at Leon. Leon looked down at Seth's left had.

"I can get you a ring. How about that?" Seth went red and hid his face in Leon's chest.

"What do you take me for?" Seth questioned.

"I'm being serious. I can get you a ring. I will get one myself." Seth looked back up at Leon.

"So like matching rings?" Leon nodded.

"And if you want, we can also get married." Seth nodded his head and placed it back on Leon's chest.

"That would be nice." Seth smiled. Leon rubbed his lovers head.

"I will make it happen."

Epilogue

Leon laid next to Seth in the bed as the smaller man slept. He couldn't help but look at how cute the man looked. Leon slowly wiped away some of the hair that was stuck on his lovers' forehead. He couldn't believe that he was back with Seth. He thought that they would never be together because of what happened. Leon started to think back when he first met Seth. At first, he was teasing Seth when he kissed him, but when he met him twenty years later he realized something. It was something that he never thought about before. He was in love with Seth. When his father yelled at him to break up, he could feel pain fill his heart. He wasn't sure what it was. However, when their eyes met again those years later, he realized what it was. It was love. He had fallen in love with Seth and wasn't sure how to deal with it.

He wanted to get back together with Seth, but the nagging of his father was still heard in the back of his head. He tried to get it to go away, but sometimes it just wouldn't. When he was with women he never had that issue. So it complicated things. He wanted to be with Seth but he also wanted to be normal. When Seth quit talking to him, he almost lost it. He tried his best to get Seth to look at him again. He would never tell the other man this, but he would go to his apartment and drink till dawn. His bandmates even complained about how he was acting. He wanted to make things right with Seth. That was why he would send over gifts or call Seth's phone. He didn't want to lose the man he loved.

When Leon went to Seth's apartment and the door was opened by another man. He felt rage build inside his body. When the man spoke of their late night. Something just snapped. He had lost his love to another. He didn't want that. Seth was someone that was irreplaceable. He didn't want anyone else to have him.

Once he found about the misunderstandings, he knew right then that he had to tell Seth everything. What happened during high school? Why he was acting the way he was. What he truly felt.

Leon stared at the sleeping face of his lover. He will never give up the man. He will fight for his love everyday if he had to. The mistakes he had made will never come up again. He will never cheat on Seth again. Leon never wanted to see Seth cry ever again. Leon leaned down and kissed the smaller man's forehead.

"I love you Seth Rice." He spoke gently. A smile appeared on the other man's face.

"I love you too."
