Imagine a world where you're not allowed to be yourself.
Imagine a world where you can't do the things you love without the fear of losing everything else.
Imagine a world where you're not allowed to love the one person you love more than anything else.
Bradley's world was exactly that. You could call it unfair and cruel because that's exactly what it was. It was his life. Being in a popular boy band definitely had its perks but with those there were always the negatives. Bradley wasn't allowed to talk about anything that was related to him liking men or not being interested in women. Bad for business, that's what they said.
He wasn't allowed to show his love for him. The love of his life.
He wasn't allowed to hold his hand nor talk about their relationship in public.
He wasn't even allowed to take the same taxi as his boyfriend even though they were living together.
It was painful really and that's why the two cherished every moment they could get together because it was a harsh, cruel life they had to live that was only brightened by the other.
"I'm home." Bradley called out weakly as he placed his bag next to the door and hung up his jacket. "Good evening, darling." He heard the deep soothing voice of his boyfriend and felt like all the worries were being lifted off his chest. A smile crept onto his face when two skinny arms wrapped around his small waist and a head placed onto his shoulder from behind. "Hi..." He breathed out and leaned back into Tristans embrace. "How was the meeting?" The blonde asked while gently stroking Bradleys tummy with his thumb. "Brutal." The brunette said with a small groan and Tristan chuckled slightly. "How about I help you relax a bit?" He asked and Brad closed his eyes with a yawn. "Sorry, I'm way too tired." He said while turning around and wrapping his arms around the taller boys neck who rolled his eyes. "I wasn't talking about sex, Brad." He explained and placed his hands on his boyfriends hips. "I thought we could take a bath."
A smile formed on Bradleys face as he heard those words. "I thought you weren't talking about sex?" He mumbled as he took in Tristans features who smiled gently. "I mean, if you want to so desperately." He said with a shrug and Brad let out a laugh.
"A bath sounds wonderful." He whispered before placing his lips on his boyfriends gently. The two stood in the hallway, making out lovingly until Tristan pulled away and cupped Bradleys face in his hands. "God, you're so addicting." He mumbled before attacking the brunettes face with kisses who giggled. "Less talking more bathing." He said and the blonde nodded. "You're right."
Bradley squealed as Tristan lifted him off his feet and carried him towards the bathroom bridal style. His eyes fixated on the blonde and a loving smile formed on his face.
Moments like this, Bradley thought to himself. Moments like this make all of this worth it.
The two helped each other undress and stepped into the bath, Bradley sitting between his boyfriends legs who massaged shampoo into his brown curls. "This feels so nice..." Brad mumbled and leaned back against Tristans torso who chuckled gently. "Hey, don't fall asleep." He said and the brunette made a noise of protest as the blonde lifted him up so he could get out. "Come on, we can go cuddle some more in bed okay?" Tristan said and held out a hand to Brad so he could get out out of the bubbly water as well. "Only cuddle?" The brunette asked in a jokingly disappointed voice and the blonde rolled his eyes before leaning down to the boy slightly. "We can do more if you want to, but only if you get out of that bathtub now." Tristan said and the brunette blushed before getting up. The blonde smirked at him and wrapped a towel around the boy, pulling him closer to himself and kissing him gently. "You're way too horny sometimes." He said and Brad giggled. "Only for you."
The boys went to bed and made it a memorable night and Brad fell asleep, snuggled into his boyfriends chest while Tristans thoughts kept him awake. He played with Bradleys curls while thinking about anything and everything. His boyfriends face was illuminated by the moon that was shining through the window and Tristan couldn't help but stare at the boys body. The fact that he was naked wasn't exactly helping but God, Tristan had never seen something more beautiful.
The slight bit of sweat on Bradleys back was glistening in the pale moonlight and it lifted with every breath he took. The blonde stroked over the curve of Bradleys hipbone and watched goosebumps forming from the touch of his cold fingers on his warm skin. He was so in love with this boy, he knew he would do anything for him.

A few days later

"Tristan?" Bradley called out and the blonde who was currently cutting tomatoes for their dinner looked up at his boyfriend who was sitting at the dining table, fiddling with his fingers.
"Yes, darling?" He asked and Brad couldn't help but blush slightly at the nickname. "Um well, I was wondering if- um..." He stuttered out. The brunettes face scrunched up and he bit his lip, trying to form the sentence.
Tristan placed the vegetables and his knife down and walked over to his boyfriend who looked fairly distressed. "Darling slow down, it's okay. Just tell me." The blonde said gently and placed a hand on his partners warm cheek. "I um- we've been dating for a long time now and uh- I wanted to know if you are willing to- to continue this." Brad tried to explain himself but Tristan just looked at him in confusion. "W-well nobody approves of our relationship and I've been causing you so much trouble with Joe lately and I just- I thought that if you want a significant other w-who you can hug and hold hands with in public, I want you to break up with me now and not wait so I can get my hopes up about us actually getting married or something." By the end of his little speech, tears were rolling down the brunette's cheeks and his hands were shaking slightly. He didn't want to lose Tristan. Hell, he thought he wasn't able to lose Tristan but he wanted the best for him. Because he loved him more than anything else.
His trail of thought was cut off by Tristan cupping his face in his hands and wiping his tears away with his thumbs. Bradley stared up at his boyfriend with wide eyes as he stared at him intensely. "If you caused me too much trouble," Tristan started "I could've left you without thinking twice already." He finished and Bradley sniffled. "But I'm still here aren't I? I stayed. Because I don't have to think twice to know that you're everything I want and more." The blonde added and Brad let out a small sob of happiness and relief.
"I-I love you." He said and Tristan chuckled slightly. "I love you too."
It had been a rocky road and it wouldn't end anytime soon but as long as they were together, it was all worth it.
