"We've talked about this Stuart." Michaela's voice rang in his head.

     She was beside him in the passenger's seat, drunk off her ass. It had been just the second shot and she was gone. She smacked her lips together loudly and brushed her red hair away from her face slowly.

"Don't get me talking about how you need to get on your knees and apologize for leaving him today. I mean look at the time. It's practically the next day." She babbled on.

Stuart didn't bother responding to her because he didn't have to. He just drove her home quietly as she continued to talk about his task and then suddenly brought up the topic of her husband.

"Surprisingly, we are doing ggreat~!" She hummed, leaning back on the seat. "We talk a lot more now. I confronted him about the cheating thing and he admitted it. He said he kissed her but didn't take it any further because... because he loved me." Her voice dropped low. "He said the reason he stayed away at work was because he felt guilty. He promised he would make it up to me. He promised, Stuart."

Stuart sighed with relief when he saw Michaela's house just down the road. He glanced at her when she stopped talking and asked, "Is that a good thing?"

"I hope." She finally responded when Stuart parked in front of her house. Michaela sat up and stared at it as if she didn't know it but then her face brightened up when the lights in the living room came on. "He's home." She grinned then turned to him. What she did next made his heart sink.

Her lips were pressed on his for what felt like a long time. Then they moved, freezing him in his spot. Her tongue slipped past his lips, making him gasp at how skilled she was. He realized he was kissing her back when he heard her moan and pushed her body against him.

Stuart didn't know what to do. For once he was absolutely lost. Why was she kissing him? Was it because she was drunk? Stuart had more questions and probably would have stayed frozen there if someone hadn't knocked on his window, snapping him out of his stupor. He turned to the man and his eyes widened at who it was.

"John?"

     Standing there looking unimpressed was John Ross, Michaela's brown haired husband. The man crossed his arms over his chest, looking clearly annoyed and that was when the situation dawned on Stuart. John had just seen them kissing.

     With Michaela in tow, Stuart quickly jumped out of the car and apologized. "Hey man, that back there was a total mistake. She came on me. She's really drunk-"

"I know." The man cut him off then went to pick up the red haired who was leaned against Stuart's car.

He threw an arm around her waist and held her close him before glancing back at Stuart and saying, "She does this when she gets drunk. I'm only slightly relived you're gay."

That made his heart thud in his chest and he blushed from embarrassment. Looking away from the man's hardened gaze, he said, "Gay or not, it's still wrong. I shouldn't have let her get that far. I should leave now."

"It's Stuart Holmes, right?" John stopped him in his path to ask and when Stuart nodded, his eyes widened slightly with interest. "Good to know you Stuart. I hope we meet again in a better circumstance."

Stuart only chuckled nervously before getting into his car and driving off. Luckily, there weren't any stop sign so he was able to get home earlier than he had expected. But that didn't mean he was off the hook.

     Picking up his phone, he saw there were about ten texts and sixteen missed calls from Leon. He was probably worried shitless now since he didn't answer anyone of them. Another text was from an unknown ID but Stuart knew the number. It was the one which sends them the amount of money their task was worth.

But now, it read;

You have kissed someone who you weren't supposed to kiss. You can either tell your partner what you have done or we will make the incident like it never happened, but you and your partner will have an extra week on the island.

You have till 12:00am to choose and if you don't make the deadline, we will choose the one that benefits us the most.

The Gay Project

Stuart wanted to scream. He suddenly felt so suffocated, he had to leave his car to take a breather. Stuart didn't know why everything was becoming harder to bear. With the task they gave him today and all that had happened? He was wondering why he wasn't so easy minded like Vlad or Andres or Leon?

     He might have lied to Vlad when he asked how far they had gone. He just didn't want to look like he hadn't changed. Change was hard for him and the minute his mum died everything had changed. His life changed and it wasn't for the better.

     Now he was here, stuck. It wasn't like he didn't really like Leon. His confession wasn't a lie and dare he say that was the biggest development he had made since he came here. But then Michaela kissed him, reminding him of what life was like out of this prison.

     Placing his forehead to the car, he shivered slightly from the cold metal then huffed, taking out his phone and replying the text.

     He promised himself he wasn't going to hold back. Lately, he hadn't been keeping to that promise and the message the gay project brought today made him realize that. Just reading the part about the passport had made him smile but Leon had looked devastated, frightened in fact.

And that was when he realized what he was doing. He didn't really care about Leon to the point he thought about staying. The kids, Leon, they were getting to him, but he was still hanging on to the hope he was going to leave soon and then all these would be a dream. It was like Leon had said, he was selfish.

Pushing away from the car, he walked quickly into the house and locked the door behind him. He hung his coat and pulled his shoes before following the voices to the living room. Faun was on the couch with Leon and they were talking about some game Faun had mentioned earlier. Mariam was on Bonnie's lap, the woman next door, and they were joining in on the conversation. They looked like a happy family. A father, a mother and two kids. Stuart felt like he was intruding.

He wanted to turn around and go sleep in the car but Mariam noticed him. She jumped off Bonnie and ran to him, throwing her arms around his waist. "You're back. Other daddy was worried."

"Stuart where have you been? I was worried sick." Leon came up to meet him and Stuart looked at him awkwardly.

He felt weird with all the attention on him suddenly, but tried not to act weird as he let habit take over. He ruffled Mariam's hair until she let go of him and he smiled at Faun who gave him a silent greeting.

Bonnie stood up from the arm chair she was on and checked her time, "Wow, 9:05pm. It's late, I should start leaving."

Everyone greeted her as she left but Mariam stopped her by the door and said, "Are you coming tomorrow? I want someone to help me dress up for our competition tomorrow."

Bonnie smiled at her. "Of course. Anything for my little Mariam." Then she looked back at Leon and Stuart, "Call me when she needs me or I might drown in my work."

"Thanks Bonnie." Leon went to escort her out, leaving Stuart to send the kids to bed.

Moving so Mariam could run into the living room, he cleared his throat then said, "It's nine guys and you know what that means right?"

"We're going." Faun pouted as he took his sister upstairs.

"I'm coming to check on you soon." He called to them after they had disappeared into the hallway.

When no one answered, he shrugged it off and started to head to the kitchen but he sensed someone behind him making him stay on his guard. When he realized it was Leon, he calmed down and hummed when the man draped his arms around him from behind.

The man kissed his neck before resting his head on his shoulders. "I missed you today."

"I'm sorry I ignored your call."

"You're not. If you were, you wouldn't let it keep happening."

"I reckon I haven't changed much." He murmured and looked at the man. "I don't feel like I'm treating you right."

Leon chuckled as his arms tightened around him. "Well, you're right about the second one. But you have changed a lot. Normally, I can't hold you like this. I can't kiss you the way I do. And you confessed to me. That's huge to me. Still can't wrap my mind around it."

Stuart glanced at him and sighed when he saw the man's head buried in his shoulder. Swallowing, he turned himself in the man's arms and said when Leon's clear brown eyes stared at him, "And I was serious. I like you a lot."

Leon's eyes widened like this was the first time he had heard those words from him and he smiled before he kissed him lightly on his lips. "I would never get used to that."

"Well you better because I'm going to be saying it a lot now." Stuart stated boldly then smashed his lips with Leon's.

     Leon happily welcomed him, opening his mouth for him to dive his tongue in. As the kiss got deeper, Stuart knew what was going to happen next so he stopped himself and pushed Leon away slowly.

Stuart instantly caught on the hurt evident on his face which made him rush his words saying, "I got jealous."

Leon's eyes narrowed and he looked at him, confused. "I don't understand. Jealous of who?"

"Bonnie." He admitted bluntly then looked away from the man when he felt his face heat up. "She had looked perfect with the kids and you that I felt like I had invaded on someone's family. I don't know why I felt like that. I shouldn't even be feeling like this." Then he looked back up at Leon, "But I do, and I don't know what to do."

"Then don't." Leon smiled calmly at him as he walked closer to him. "Don't do anything because I would never want to leave you."

     Stuart wanted to turn and just run away from Leon. It was words like this that made him feel the way he felt. But he knew he couldn't right now. Especially after what he did with Michaela. "You are going to leave me. After this is all over, you're going to leave for a woman or Bonnie or..." He hated how he sounded, like some insecure girl. He really hated how the man made him feel.

But then Leon laughed, making Stuart's panic increase. "Bonnie? If it's Bonnie you're worried about, relax. She has a boyfriend she's freaking in love with. But then if it some other woman I'll meet when this whole thing is over, you shouldn't worry about that either because I can never get over you. I would date women after all this but if you come back into my life Stuart, I'm going to leave them. I will always leave them because you make me feel more than just normal. You're different and you make me feel special."

     Leon said this without missing a beat. Leon said this with all seriousness that had Stuart feeling something beyond embarrassed. Stuart wanted to bring up his late wife but thought better of it and smiled. It would be best to leave her to rest.

     She was something important to him and he knew he would always be second to her but that was okay. As long as no one else took that spot, he was relived. He was just glad he was able to bring the man out of his misery.

Glancing away from him to the stairs, he said, "Let's go upstairs."

"Uh, well, that was a change of subject."

He ignored him as he held the man's hand and pulled him up the stairs. "Let's go."

"Oh my god, he's holding my hand. What should I do?" Leon sounded panicked and that made Stuart flush instantly. The man was messing with his feelings again.

     Closing the door behind them, Leon went to seat on the bed then looked at Stuart who was fidgeting in front of the door. He knew he had to do it before 12am. He had to or they were adding an extra day to their time on the island and they already had a week.

Surprisingly, it wasn't as dreadful as he had thought.

"We are upstairs. Want to continue the conversation we had started downstairs?"

     Taking in a deep breath, Stuart summoned all the courage he could then went in front of the man. Leon cocked his head at him when he pulled off his shirt and jeans the climbed on top of the man until he was straddling him.

Leon's eyes widened and he stared at him, his brown eyes darkening. "Uh, what's going on?"

     Stuart didn't bother answering and just kissed him because he knew if he wasted anymore time talking, he wasn't going to come through with what he had planned.

     Even though he was confused and absolutely lost, Leon still kissed him back and held him in his arms. As the kiss got heated, Stuart tried to stay in control as much as he could because he was still not ready for it yet. But it was hard, the way the man kissed him had his heart beating faster and the way he held him had him feeling wanted. He just wanted to succumb to his desires, let it burn through him and into Leon, let his body show him how much he wanted the man, but his mind was still in charge. And with that in mind, he was more focused to do what he was supposed to do.

     As their tongues stroked and caressed each other, he struggled to get Leon's shirt off. He chuckled when it came off and he kissed his chest. He heard a low moan from Leon which made him smile before he bit a beady nipple.

"Damn Stuart. When did you get so good?"

      Stuart pushed the man down and kissed down his torso until he was just at the brim of his jeans. Leon wanted to come up but Stuart held him down and kissed his lips one last time before getting down from his lap. He knelt before him and tried to unbuckle the man's belt but Leon caught his hands, sitting up and forcing Stuart to look up at him.

     The man was flushed but definitely not as embarrassed as Stuart. He held his hands and said, "You don't have to do this."

"But I-I want to." He stuttered, trying his best not to pass out from the utterly embarrassing situation.

Leon arched a brow. "Do you know what you're trying to do?"

"I'm not stupid." He frowned at Leon.

Leon smiled cheekily at that then let go of him. "Then go on."

Stuart wanted to hit him. How could he just sit there and embarrass him? He felt more than just suffocated now. "Don't fucking look at me."

"Okay." He nodded then laid back down on the bed like before.

     Now Stuart was frustrated. He angrily unbuckled the belt and brought out what he needed. What he had to do next froze him. He just stared at the man's hardened boner and felt himself blush. In fact, Stuart felt like a walking red man.

"You know, this is the part where you-oh damn...."

     Stuart quickly took him in his mouth before he continued that sentence. He knew what he had to do, he didn't need someone making it more obvious.

     Now that he had the man's cock in his mouth he didn't know what to do. Actually, he was terrified of what he had to do next. Taking a deep breath, he started to move when he Leon said, "If you don't know what to do, I could do you and you could learn from that."

     Stuart pulled away from him abruptly and sent a sharp glare his way even though the man wasn't looking at him. "Can you let me do my thing. Talk again and it's all over."

"My mouth's closed."

     When Stuart was sure Leon wasn't going to say a word, he went down on him again but this time, knowing exactly what to do. He licked the man's tip and slowly licked down the man's shaft. Leon moaned loudly when Stuart started bopping his head on his cock, licking and sucking him as if he so badly wanted to do it.

     Stuart was surprisingly comforted by the sounds that left Leon's mouth. A chill coursed through his body when he saw Leon sit up and his eyes were on him. They stared at him as his mouth was left agape to show how much he was enjoying what Stuart was doing to him. Seeing Leon react the way he did, cheeks red, pupils dilated and constant moaning, turned Stuart on to the point he almost touched himself.

     He stroked Leon's balls and took him in deeper, gagging when he felt it in his throat. Leon immediately gripped his hair and Stuart didn't notice he was trying to pull his head away until he came inside Stuart's mouth. Out of shock, he swallowed it and instantly cringed at the taste in his mouth then glared up at the Canadian.

"You didn't tell me you were cuming."

"I haven't done this in almost a year. I was too excited." He managed between gasp.

     Stuart pouted and watched Leon put his flaccid manhood back in his trouser then rubbed his lap, gesturing Stuart to sit on it. The Aussie didn't care how he felt anymore and just climbed on top of him. He was glad to have something hard rubbing against his own hard-on.

"Was I good?" Stuart brought himself to ask after the Canadian said nothing.

"Were you good? Do you really want me to answer that?" He chuckled then left a small kiss on his chest. "I came earlier than expected. You were way better than I expected."

That seemed to brighten the mood and Stuart smiled. "I'm glad."

     He reached into his pocket and read out the task he had been given.

You are to seduced and do something intimate that you haven't done before. Deadline is midnight. You can request what you want by sending the text to our number.

The Gay Project

Admin.

     Leon laughed loudly then brought Stuart's head down to kiss him but the Aussie pulled away immediately and stared at him, confused. "But I had your cock in my mouth."

"As long as it's mine and no one else's." He leaned up and kissed him again and this time, Stuart let him.

     Because this time, everything was different and he liked it. He didn't want to go back to his plain dark life. He didn't want to go back, hoping some girl looked at him or hoping he made it back home alive. Here, Leon cared for him more than he had expected. Here, he made a family. Here, even though it's still annoying, he loved his life.

     Here, he wanted to be with Leon as long as he could.

"Wow." Leon stared at him in awe, as if something about his face was mesmerizing. "I want to kiss you until tomorrow, which isn't long because it's already 11:50."

Stuart's eyes widened and he blurted when he remembered, "Michaela kissed me."

Leon's eyes immediately narrowed. "What?"

Stuart instantly hated how cold his voice went and the look he gave him and said, "It was a mistake. She was drunk then came on me. Where I went wrong was kissing her back and I am very sorry. I regret it now."

"Now?"

"Leon, I said I'm sorry."

Leon didn't say anything and just looked away making Stuart worry. He cupped the man's face and made him look back at him and he said, "It was a mistake. I lo-like you and no one else. Beside, she's married and her husband caught us."

Leon's eyes seemed to sparkle with interest and he asked, "What happened?"

Stuart chuckled at that then slowly wrapped his arms around his neck as he said, "Pick one, listen to the saddening story or you kiss me until tomorrow?"

     Leon's hands held him just the way he liked and he leaned up and said before kissing him, "The first one sounded interesting but I guess the second will always beat it."

"Always."
