“I never loved you.” 

The words fell between the two men like stones. 

Blue eyes filled with tears that his pride would not allow to fall. He had come and laid his heart at his partner’s feet, and now he had his answer. 

“It’s been great—I thought you got it, man. I can’t leave my projects.” His brow furrowed in confusion at the other’s reaction. 

“Yeah in the beginning…but…we…I…” Words and emotions clogged his throat. 

His chin fell to his chest, hair falling forward to hide his face as he started to turn away. 

“Man, I hope it works out. Let me know how it goes.” He used Hollywood speak to separate himself from the other man. “Call me when you get back in town.” His tone was flippant. 

Strong arms drew him in for one last hug. The raspy voice whispered brokenly against his ear. 

“I’ll always love you.” 

Blue eyes closed from the pain as a fist closed around his heart at what he had done to the man in his arms. He only hoped one day he’d be forgiven, but he knew his partner wouldn’t leave LA without him. So he gave him another push. 

“It’s been real.” He took a quick step back, and watched the usually open expression close off. 

‘It’s been real.’ His heart shattered at the words and the quick push away. He quickly pasted on his ‘public’ face.  Shoulders hunched, he headed for the door. 

“Good luck with your projects, darlin’.” His voice was harsh from the lump in his throat. 

He never moved, not until he heard the familiar rumble pull out of the driveway. He sank down onto the couch, tears sliding down his face. 

“I’ll always love you, too, Christian.” He whispered brokenly.
