~Brandon~
I was waiting in the park a block away from my house. This was where we promised to meet, and I was more than excited, but I was also very nervous. What I was about to do was very dangerous; I was going to meet a man I have never met in person for the first time. Outside, by myself at 9 PM...Not dangerous at all.
I wore my nicest clothes, dark tight jeans, my biker boots, my tight black sweater and a leather jacket. Seeing as I arrived on my motorbike, I looked the part of a crazy biker Goth. I was praying to whatever and whoever would listen to my wish that Leo would love me...
I was gently leaning on the back of my black Kawasaki Ninja waiting for my dream man to arrive. I listened as a car drove by; when I looked it was just a taxi. I click my tongue. I was just too excited that everything was Leo... But that taxi stopped.
Two people left that car. One looked my brother and the other looked a lot like Leo. My heart thumped. What the fuck is going on? My brother's hair had grown a little past his shoulders and his hair looked tarnished. Leo looked dark and sexy just like he did on his profile, and he was wearing a suit.
"Brandon," Steven stated. He looked neither happy nor sad to see me. It was cold. I was also confused because my brother seemed to be packing some weight, and he was never one to let his body go.
"Steven, how have you been?"
"I've been better."
Awkward silence.
"So you must be Leo," I smiled giving him my hand. "I'm very pleased to meet you sir." I gave him a small bow. I was blushing really hard but I couldn't help it because that was the hand that I jerked off to earlier that day.
"Brandon," he smiled. His voice was so low and sexy I felt a shiver run up my spine. Suddenly my jeans were too tight.
"So can someone explain to me why my brother and my online—"
"Boyfriend," Leo supplied.
"—Boyfriend are both here to see me. Especially when one of the two left the house and left me to the worst parents a kid could have?"
"Excuse me?" Steven said, taking a step closer to me. "I did not leave you to the worst parents! They are fucking wonderful people! You are just a delinquent! Do you even remember the last thing you said to me, brat? Do you?"
"No, I'm sorry I don't fucking remember!"
"You ordered me to get you a fucking beer! Then you and your fucking homophobic asshat friends made fun of my sexuality. Now you're expecting me to believe that you're gay and dating my husband's brother? I don't fucking think so!"
I looked at Leo; I studied his face, his body and his eyes. They were green but they looked similar to...
"You got married to Ryan?" I looked at my brother, my eyes glassy. I was happy for him; he found the happiness that he deserved.
Steven lifted his left hand and showed me the sliver band on his ring finger and he nodded.
"And you're Ryan's older brother?" I asked Leo.
"I hadn't known about this until your brother mentioned something. I'm sorry I brought him here but he insisted he see you." Leo took a step towards me, "I'm so happy to finally meet you, Brandon." He whispered into my ear. I grasped Leo's broad shoulders and sagged, my legs giving out from underneath me. I was thankful for more than one thing. One, Leo wasn't about to kill or rape me like the back of my mind was foretelling. Two, my brother was happy with Ryan. And three, I could finally get away from my family...Hopefully.
"I'm sorry, Steven. I'm sorry for everything. I never truly agreed with those guys, and I can tell you that after you left I haven't really seen them. I've been alone for so long that talking to Leo has been my only piece of salvation. You don't have to forgive me but don't be mad at Leo as well..." I cried. I tried to keep the tears back as much as I could but it wasn't working. My tears were seeping into Leo's suit jacket and onto my leather jacket.
"I'm not mad at him. I'm mad at you, for doing those things to me. I can't say that I'll forgive you, but I'll support Leo in this relationship and if that means I support you too, then oh well." Steven looked at Leo and nodded, "You either tell him now so he can get home and pack or I'm leaving now. I have no desire to see my house right now. I just want to be with my husband."
"Tell me what?" I asked leaning away from Leo and back onto my bike.
"Do you recall those drawings you showed me last week?"
"The alien ones?"
"Indeed. Do you recall what they looked like?" Leo asked moving a tad bit further from me. Steven went to the taxi and the car drove away. We were alone now, just Leo, my brother and I.
"Well, yah I drew them. Leo what are you going on about?"
Steven walked beside me and smiled, "prepare yourself Bran, because for once I won't be scared."
Leo stood up straight and a blue light embraced the man. Before I knew it Leo was no longer there, but in his place was a seven foot alien with sliver scales and tail, shoulder length green hair and pale green eyes. He was hissing something to me but I couldn't understand what he was saying. I couldn't move. I wasn't sure if I was happy or scared.
"He just said that his real name is Xe'Zhi. He is a doctor on the ship where I live, and he isn't here to hurt you." Steven said, looking lazily at the alien.
Xe'Zhi started to hiss again as he reached his hand out to me. He looked scared, his eyes were pleading for me to take his hand. Or to at least do or say something. I timidly reached my hand out to his and touched his soft warm hands.
"What did he say?" I asked looking to my brother.
"He said that he has wanted to show you what he looked like ever since you showed him that image. He wants to take you home with him so that he can take care of you like he wants to." Steven translated carefully. He then said something to the being in front of us and laughed after Xe'Zhi replied.
"What?" I asked looking between the two.
"I asked him if he wanted to make love to you and he replied that if he could do it now he would. Listen, Brandon, the ship where we live is really nice. Xe'Trygg is really nice and so is everyone else. Xe'Zhi promises to take care of you. If you come back with us he will give you the language chip—which is how I can converse with them—and he will take care of you for the rest of his life. Believe me, starting a family with them is a scary but wonderful experience and I'm so happy I was taken. But you get the choice; if you don't want to come then he will erase your memory and send you on your way. This night will be nothing more than you seeing your brother for the first time in months." Steven paused, "It's all up to you now."
This was my biggest dream come true. I got to meet an alien and I got to fall in love. But was it what I really wanted? Did I really want to leave everything behind? Say goodbye to my family? My position at the art school? Did I want to lose it all? Well if I was going to be honest with myself, dating 'Leo' (who was already technically an alien in the sense he came from another country) I might as well go full out and date a real alien.
