Mattoe's POV
(Few hours earlier)
Getting to Favor's quarters, I nosed my biker to stop. The whole place was looking rugged as usual with the different bad boys and girls hovering about.
Before I got to Favour's door, I checked my time to be sure I hadn't delayed and I was glad I didn't. He'd called me at exactly 11:30 telling me to come over and I'm curiously, I got on the road.
Now it's 11:39. However I wonder what he's doing at home now though, I mean he's still a high-schooler.
After knocking once on the door, i heard him telling me to come in.
"Why did you ask me to come over Favour? Is everything alright?" I immediately starts rambling the moment I got in.
I met him half-lying on his couch, he was backing the door and wearing a hoodie.
"You're welcome mattoe. T—Thank you so much for coming." He stuttered out, my heart clutch a bit as I noticed the tremble in his voice.
He even looked away when I went to his view.
"You know I'll always come for you no matter what happens so that Aisde, what happened? Why did call..."
"Don't you want me anymore?" His voice held so much sadness and that burnt my heart.
"Of course not... you know thats not true. I'll always want you, Favour. I just want to know why you called me after..."
"I called you because I realized that you're the just the right one for me." Favour said in a shaky voice and with that, I knew something was wrong. I held his hand and casually tried to make him face me but he refused to face me, it's if he was avoiding my eyes or something.
I know Favour is a shy guy but we've lost past the shy stage a long time ago.
"Favour c'mon look at me what the hell are you hiding?" I said for the sixth time, gently trying to turn his face my way.
"Promise me you won't get angry..." he'd barely finished that before o forcefully turned his head to face me and when he did, fucking hell there was several bruises on his faces.
Like someone had punched him several times.
Anger like a monster, grew inside of me and my eyes turned red.
"Who did this to you?" I growled, gritting my teeth.
"It's...it's no...nothing. It was just an accident" he stuttered and unfortunately he sucks at lying.
"Not buying that. Who the hell did this to you Favour?" I yelled beyond control, already going wild.
I can take all tortures but what I can't take is seeing the love of my life get hurt.
"Well, it's Oscar. He came here this morning and started accusing me for telling you that he was the one who asked me to broke with you. I tried my best to tell him, that I didn't tell you that but he was too angry... so...so he beat me up." He said with a sniff. More anger dominated me.
"What? How could the bastard do this to you? You are fucking just 18, why will that asshole stage a fight with you huh?" I lashed out angrily.
"It's okay mattoe. This is just a small bruise I'll be fine. Please calm down" Favour said quietly.
"No this isn't a small bruise. I swear I'll offer Carlos's head to the bird." I growled and Favour gaped. He immediately started begging not to kill Carlos.
He doesn't want blood guilt on his hand. Though it was hard but I just promised him not to act on my anger. I mean I'll do anything for Favour.
"We've to treat this, now." I said and raked the house to her an ice bag and when I did, I used to start tending Favour's bruises. The bruises were really bad and it filled me with more rage. "Did you even try to fight that asshole back" I asked while matching his bruises.
His silence gave me the answer.
"I've been teaching how to fights Favour, do you think all that is just for fun?? You need to start learning how to defend yourself. Okay?" I said calmly and Favour nodded. After treating favour's wound, I suggested we hung out and he agreed.
"I'm really sorry for deciding to end our relationship like that. I can't imagine how bad you must have been hurt but I'm really really sorry. I swear that will never happen again."
Favour said as we were walking out of the plaza we'd just had lunch. We were both holding hands. "He manipulated me to think that you don't love me that's why you haven't showed me to them yet, your family" he said the last part wearily. My heart churned. The smile I initially had on my face few seconds ago, vanished.
"It's alright Favour, you didn't even have to apologize." I began.
"I agree I'm solely on the wrong. I mean there's no normal person who'll hide the person they are dating from thier family.
But that I'm afraid to out myself to my brothers now, doesn't mean I don't love you favour. Look..." I turned so we could be facing each other.
"I love so much and that's why I'm afraid to show you just yet. They might to accept me. They might give me a condition to either choose you or them and I don't want that. In as much as my family is my life, I don't want to loose you. One day I'll show you to them but we just have to find ways to make it more pleasant." I said and Favour agreed, beaming with the most charming smile ever. He'd always agreed to my decision until that bastard oscar came in the picture.
"Ummm are you busy? Like do you have something to do...?" Favour asked as we got to my bike spot.
"I actually have. What? Do you want us to go somewhere else? I could cancel for you"
"I wanted us to go play some P.s games but since..."
"Then let's go" I cut him off taking his hand. He looked at me with a frown. "C'mon Favour. I'll do anything for you"
He cheered happily with a smile and joined me on the bike. My joy for getting back with Favour knew no bound and I stamped a smile on my face.
Honestly no one means the world to me than Favour. I love my family okay? But there's a different way I feel around Favour that no one can ever make me feel it.
My family loves me I know but with Favour, I feel so accepted, I feel less depressed and I'm truest happy. My depression starts the day I found myself getting attracted to a same sex guy.
That's when I knew I was gay and because gay is tagged as something kinda forbidden, I hated myself. I tried my best to fight the feeling but the more I tried, the more I kept loving Favour.
I and Favour actually started up as close friends, we met at the ps station. I actually saved him from some guys who were trying to bully him into giving them the money he'd won, I fought them all for him and since then we became friends. We got more attached when I started training him on how to fight and then love starts to blossom.
When started dating, I tried many times to tell my family but the fear of being rejected always pushed me back and because of that, I felt depressed. I didn't know what to do, I turned to drugs.
Drugs only added to my depression though but good thing my brothers had already know about that.
Few minutes of flying on the road, we arrived at our destination and to my bloody suprise, I met Racheal right here at the PlayStation.
The fuck!
What the hell is she doing here when she's suppose to be in school?
Without wasting time, I walked up to her.
"What the fuck are you doing here Racheal when you're suppose to be in school?" I asked sternly.
After staring at me for a long while, she ignored me and turned face Favour instead.
"Hello Favour what's up?" She greeted casually with a smile.
Yeah racheal knows about me and Favour. Since she's always coming here with me, I couldn't hide it from her anymore and being a carefree girl, she didn't mind and had done well keeping my secret for me.
"Hold on...what's these bruises on your face?" Racheal asked genuinely concerned as she stood up to observe Favour's face.
Favour glanced at me technically asking me what to tell her. Since there was nothing to hide, I just told her he got beaten up by some asshole.
She grew angry immediately. Let's say we're both fond of Favour because he's shy in a cute way.
"Well I can bet that the bastard is no longer breathing right mattoe?" She looked at me with a smirk.
I glanced at Favour who became uncomfortable.
"Not really"
"What?" She frowned hard at me.
Ignoring the looks I went back to the supposed topic at hand.
"why the hell did you leave school?" I growled.
"Ughh...here we go" she groaned and rolled her eyes dramatically. Then she narrated how some of her school senior bullies tried to bully her but she defending herself, beat them up and the principal took their sides. She got angry and left the school.
"But you shouldn't have resolved to fight Racheal, you should have simply reported to the school Authorities, you could have been hurt." Favour said with concern and shrug afterward. Before he use to be very shy to scold Racheal. but not anymore. They are now very free with each other.
"I appreciate your concern brother in-law but
you shouldn't always wait for someone to defend you, sometimes you've to stand up for yourself that way they'll know better to stay off your limits." She said with an eye roll and Favour chuckled them smiled weakly.
"I'm sure you thought those bitches real good lessons yeah?" He asked Racheal with a proud smirk.
"Of course. Don't you trust me? It'll take days for their nose to come back to life" she rambled pompously making Favour burst into laughter.
In as much as I'm solidly on Racheal's side for what she did, I'm still her elder brother so I scolded her a little and warned her not to repeat this same thing again.
"I'm not saying you shouldn't fight if necessary but try to avoid it all you can okay? And don't ever leave school again. It's dangerous for you." I said to Her and she just shrugged.
"I'm serious" I said sternly.
"Fine" she groaned out.
"Now guys, let's go have fun already." She said dragging me and Favour hand as we walked to the computer stands.
"There's this new game I found." Racheal said excitedly as we all primped ourself up an was on our computers. We three are always the one who plays together.
"You always find new games so you'll keep wining again but not happening this time. I'll be the one to suggest what to play" Favour opposed and then they both started an epic of argument as usual. They both went on bickering over what to play like kids and I let them.
Seeing that my sister and boyfriend were kind of getting along with each other like best friends, was amusing and It brought a smile to my face.
