Leave him alone

Warning: Homophobic Words and mentions of abuse
Josh's POV

Whistling with my hands shoved in my pockets as the cold wind blows on my face. I'm walking home from leaving my shop for the day, business busy as usual so it's pretty late. My mind fills with thoughts mainly sad ones, I'm quite a lonely man, I don't have a boyfriend (yes I'm gay.) or any close family I moved away when I turned twenty-two.

I'd love to have a boyfriend I just can't find the one and I'm a busy man so I'd like to find someone who'd work with me, but that seems to be difficult. Friends I do have but I wouldn't say I'm close to them all but my best friend Tobi I've known for many years now.

As I'm lost in thought a voice or should I say word comes to my ears "You're just a faggot."
Rage fills me and my blood boils, looking to my left I see a rather large man pinning a tall yet skinny man to the wall. The man spits at him and continues throwing homophobic abuse at him, storming over I growl "Stop!"
The man turns but keeps a grip on the other "Who are you?" He snarls,
"Someone you shouldn't mess with." I snarl back,
"Oh yeah what you gonna do?"
"Well first of all let him go." I sass,
"Why? Are you his faggot boyfriend?"
I yank him away and kick him in the balls as well as punching his nose, as his head swings to the side I grab him and kick him towards the wall. He smashes against it and slumps down it crying out in pain but I just laugh, "Told you not to mess with me." I growl kicking him in the gut as he wheezes out "And no I'm not his boyfriend I've never met him, but I didn't like what you were doing to him!"
He slowly gets up "R-Right." He stutters and tries to run,
As I watch him leave, I turn to the other man and see him with tears falling down his face and a shocked expression.

I kneel down and pull him into a hug "Sorry you had to go through that."
He relaxes into me "T-th-thank y-you."
"No worries, I'm Josh."
"S-Simon."
"Nice to meet you Simon."
"You too." He replies pulling back and smiling slightly at me,
"Would you like me to walk you home? Just in case he comes back."
"I think he won't be back anytime soon, you really did some damage." He giggles,
Wow that was adorable, wait I've only just met him. "Thanks."
"You're welcome and sure if you don't mind walking me back."
"I don't mind at all." I smile at him "Are you Alright?"
He nods "I am now."
I feel a blush come on my cheeks luckily he can't see, as we walk under a lamppost I take a glance and see this man is so gorgeous. His well structured face, blonde hair styled into a faux (😂) and his blue eyes that look like the ocean. He's a little taller than me and a lot slimmer but not really skinny he does have some muscle on his bones, he's wearing a pair of joggers with a flower design on and a thick coat. "So tell me a little about yourself Simon."
"Well my name is Simon Minter, I'm 25 and I'm gay as you've probably figured. You?"
"My names Josh Bradley and I'm also 25 and gay."
"No way, when's you're birthday?"
"4th September."
"Oh my, mines the 7th!"
"Wow what a coincidence!"
He nods "Well this is my place, want to come in?"
"Erm... I should... ermm." I say not sure what to say,
He opens his door and pulls me in before wrapping his arms round me "Stay."
My heart flutters and I kick his door closed accepting the hug "Okay just for you."
He smiles "Hey you're my hero."
I chuckle "You're very welcome."
We kick off our shoes and coats before Simon leads me into his living room and I'm met with a dog, he trots over and Simon gives him a fuss as I stroke his head "Who's this?"
"This is Herbie." Simon smiles,
"Aww Hey Herbie." I coo
"Want a drink?"
"Just a glass of water please."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." He grins before walking into the kitchen, I sit down on his sofa and continue to pet Herbie as I look around his place.

Once Simons back we get to know each other more and find out we have a lot in common, I even told him about my job being a lot of my time but he said he's been looking for a new job and I could really do with some help. So maybe things could go well. Simon was very thankful for me 'saving' him today and so he gave me a side hug and just stayed there, but I didn't mind.
