---------------------------------------
It's almost night time when the plane touched down, and I immediately regretted coming back. Eight years. Eight fucking years since I last stepped foot in this wretched town. Eight years since I came out to my parents and got tossed out like trash. I was 18, broke, and clueless. I don't even know why I came back here, maybe to rub it in their faces that I'm doing fine without them or is it perhaps cuz the old man's dying?
Karma's a bitch.
Two weeks ago, my birth giver called. No idea how she even got my number. Her voice shaky as she told me my sperm donor was sick, some disease I didn't bother remembering. She said they wanted to "make amends." Like that fixes shit.
I'm Kaiden or Kai for short. Back then, I was a scrawny, acne-riddled kid everyone treated like a freakin contagious disease. But now, I'm lean, sharp, and handsome as fuck, if I say so myself. No scars, no blemishes, pretty much unrecognizable.
I spent years on the streets, scraping by, doing shit I'm not proud of. But I survived. Thrived, even. Until that damn phone call.
The taxi pulled up to my old house. Same dump, just more weeds and a busted fence. I grabbed my bags, tipped the driver, and walked up to the door and knocked.
The door opened. Two wrinkled familiar faces stared back.
"Kai?" Mom said, shaky. "You've...changed."
"Yeah, no shit," I muttered.
She was taken aback. But I remained stoic.
"Come in, come in,"
She gestured me inside. The house hadn't changed either.
"Looks the same as the day you kicked me out," I said, dropping my bags.
They froze, looking like I'd slapped them. Good. Let them feel a fraction of the shit I'd been carrying for eight years.
"Are you hungry? I made cookies," Mom said.
I stared at her like she was crazy which she is by the way.
"Is Mason home?" I asked instead.
Mason's my older brother. Just two years older. We used to be close, very close. He's a high school star athlete, and the guy who had my back, or used to had my back. Well, not until the day he just stood and watched these bigots kicked me out into the street.
"No, but he'll be here tonight," she said.
Of course he would.
"You know why I'm here, right?"
"Yes," she said quickly. "Sit down. We need to talk."
We sat in the living room.
"So...how have you been?" she asked.
"How have I been?" I laughed. "Great, Mom. Just fucking great. Living my best life since you tossed me out like garbage. Thanks for asking."
Dad cleared his throat. "Kai, we're...sorry. We didn't know how to handle it back then."
"'Handle it?'" I snapped. "I was just a kid. You didn't handle shit. You threw me out. You left me on my own. Do you have any idea what that does to someone? You think throwing me out into the street will magically make me crave pussy?"
"Okay, okay. Let's talk about something else," Mom said.
"No, let's talk about it," I growled.
She looked at me, pleading. Too bad, I couldn't have cared less. I came here to give them a piece of my fucking mind.
"The reason we called you here is because...your dad has cancer."
"And the doctor said that it's advancing pretty fast."
I rolled my eyes. "Wow. Guess his days are numbered."
"Kaiden!" Mom cried. "How could you say that?"
"Oh please. Do you think, him being sick would change anything?"
"Let's not pretend I'm the bad guy here. It's been eight years. Eight fucking years. You think I'm just gonna forget what you people did?"
"We don't expect you to forget," Mom choked out. "We just...want to be a family again."
"A family?" I spat. "You lost that right when you kicked me out for being gay."
The room went silent.
I stood, itching to leave.
"I'm gonna cool off," I said, heading for the door.
"Kai, wait--"
I stormed out into the street. I thought seeing them, and saying what's been bottling up inside me for the past 8 years, would give me peace. But fuck no, it only made me more pissed off. I don't know where I'm even going. I walked for what felt like forever until I stumbled in front of a grimy bar with a flickering neon sign.
Looks like the universe wants me to get wasted.
The bar was packed as I walked in, reeking of sweat, booze, and bad decisions. Yeah, I could smell that shit too.
Guys laughing, shots slamming, girls screaming along to some shitty Christmas song. But I wasn't here for that. I was here to burn off some steam.
I ordered a whiskey, downed it, and went for another. I looked around and my sight caught a guy across from the bar.
Tall. Broad shoulders, wearing a cowboy hat. He was propped against the counter like he owned it, talking to someone, but his eyes were on me. He downed his drink while clearly checking me out.
I didn't look away.
Never had a cowboy before, and fuck, this one looked like he'd ruin me in all the best ways.
He smirked, slow and cocky, then curled his finger, beckoning me over.
I smirked back. Fuck me, looks like tonight's gonna be interesting.
I grabbed my drink and pushed through the crowd, eyes locked on him.
I didn't make it two steps before some idiot slammed into me, spilling whiskey all over my shirt.
"Fuck, watch it, man!" I snapped.
"Shit, sorry," the guy said, stepping back.
I looked up--and holy shit. I almost forgot how to breathe.
The guy was stupid hot. Two, three inches taller than me, built like he lived in the gym. His shirt clung to his chest, his arms, and those biceps? Fuck. The kind you'd want wrapped around your throat while he fucked you.
He looked like a goddamn Viking. But somehow his eyes looked familiar.
I forgot what I was about to say.
"Damn," I muttered instead.
"You good?" he asked, smirking like he knew exactly what I was thinking.
"Yeah," I said, brushing whiskey off my chest. "Just... watch where you're going next time."
He laughed, like I'd just said something funny.
"Noted. Nice shirt, by the way. You a fan?"
I glanced down. My shirt had the logo of some random football team I'd picked up at a thrift store.
"Not really," I muttered, "Just something I threw on."
"Shame, man, you're missin' out," he said, grinning. "I used to play in high school. College too. You play any sport?"
"Nah," I said, smirking. "More of a sidelines guy."
