I love them both, but differently

Chapter 2:
(POV third person)

Around 10am Castiel wakes up, as he noticed the arm around his waist. At first he's shocked and confused but when he remembers what happened that night a bright smile appears on his lips.

Castiel decided to stay a bit longer in the embrace, he doesn't want to wake Orion until, he hears a knock on the door, the door opens "Orion?" Jerome asks with a mid loud voice.

Castiel closes his eyes as fast as possible, he doesn't want Jerome to suspect anything and he tried to breathe as calmly as possible.

He then hears footsteps coing closer "Orion? please. I- I need you." Jerome whispers, almost impossible to hear for Castiel.

He feels Orion mumbling something in his neck, which causes that it's tickling him and he has to bite his bottomlip so he won't start chuckling. Castiel feels Orion shake, probably due to Jerome shaking on him "what is it?" Orion says slowly waking up, still with his arm around Castiel's waist.

"I have to talk to you, privately" Jerome says. Orion mumbles something Castiel couldn't understand, as he stood up he groans in annoyance and all the sudden the warm embrace is gone and Castiel is alone in his bedroom.

~With Jerome and Orion~

As they step out of Castiels room, Orion notices that Jerome's cheek has a cut and is bleeding hardly.

"Omg what happened? who did this?" Jeromes eyes are red, most probably from crying "Ereck" he says.
"Why what happened? Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned sigh.

"I should've told you this a long time ago." Jerome, the also younger and shorter, much shorter one says "told me what?" Orion asks in concern.

"Told you that, Ereck has been using me, as- as his sex toy, I know it sounds like the cheapest excuse but I can't do this anymore he is hurting me I never wanted this. He's going to kill me if he finds out I told you." Orion looks at him confused "Wait what" he needed some time to understand what his boyfriend just told him, but when he saw his eyes got watery again, he hugged him tightly.

"I won't let him." Orion promises
"T- thank you, you're too good for me." Jerome says letting it out and a couple of tears leave his eyes as he leans his head in Orion's shoulder.
"That was a lot to take in" Orion thought. First these random feelings for Castiel, then the change between his relationship with Jerome and then all what,the said, told him.

"Hey, is everything okay?"Castiel asks coming out of his room now too
"No. Actually, we have to help Jerome" Orion responds still holding Jerome close to him. "Okay? What happened are you not feeling good mate?" He asked. But then Jerome looked at him and then Castiel saw the red eyes and tears still running down his face.

"Hey what's wrong?" he asked in concern, as he walked closer to them and put his hand on Jerome's shoulder. Sure he's in a relationship with Orion the guy Castiel is in love with, but that doesn't mean that Castiel hates him. He's one of his closest friends and Castiel obviously cares about him. "I'll tell you later, now we gotta get this cleaned up" Orion says wiping with his thumb under Jerome's cut.

As Orion says that, Castiel also sees the cut and gasp in shook.
"What the hell happened ?!" Castiel asked himself, as he hurried into the kitchen and got a towel and a icing bag. Because Jerome's check was slowly turning purple.

"Who the fuck did this?" He asked when he came back. Anger started forming in his voice.
"Ereck." Jerome whispered, new tears in his eyes.
"I am going to kill him!" Castiel said with Anger present in his voice.

"NO! You can't, he would kill me if he finds out I told someone" Jerom says.
"Shit, Shit, Shit what the hell happened."
"Why? It's not okay what he did! How did this even happen?" You could clearly here anger but also confusion in his voice. "Before Orion and I started dating he used me, for... for sex and I hoped he'd stop when I get a boyfriend but he didn't, he's abusive, Castiel, I'm scared" Jeromes voice was shaky and barely understandable. Castiels eyes widen, now he understands.
"That's fucking messed up"

"You have to go to the police! What he did was illegal and not okay! He raped you multiple times and that for almost a year and a half!" he said anger even more present now.

"I can't." it was only a breath.
"Why?"
"Because, the police is searching me since two weeks, I stole money from Mike's." He said. Mike's is a grocery shop near the Campus, where almost every student gets their food from.
"That Doesn't matter, the police HAS to help you!" Castiel sounded ready to kill just to get justice for his friend.

"Okay Castiel you need to calm down" Orion said "I know this is a lot to take in and I totally agree with you but first we have to take care of the cut and then we need to try to figure something out.Okay?" Castiel just nodded even tho he really just wanted to jump in a car, drive to Ereck punch him right in the face and then go to the police station.

"Thank you guys. I love you both so much." Jerome says wiping a single tear away.

"Now look at me." Orion says to Jerome making him look at him, he grabs a paper towel and wetens it slowly cleaning up the area around the cut.

While Orion was cleaning the cut, Castiel went to the pharmacy to get bandages and disinfection spray. As he comes back up, the other two are having a quiet conversation. "Got 'em" Castiel says walking towards them. They clean up the rest of it and put a bigger bandage over it. "Now what?" Castiel asks.
