Nick’s jaw snapped shut at Gus’s tone. He looked down at his lap, where his notebook was sitting, and he could feel his face burn at what was being said. “Yes, Sir,” he said softly, giving a tight nod. “I’m sorry, Sir. It won’t happen again.”
Gus sighed, letting the heat disappear from his tone. He bent and placed a kiss to the top of Nick’s head. “I love you sweet boy but I will not let you become less than I know you can be.”
