Okay, so I am totally obsessed with Degrassi. I know I have issues, but I love it so much. Sadly though, Riley and Zane don't get near enough screen time as they should. I swear I think I've watched the scene were Riley's mom walks in on them making out a hundred times online. Plus there is defiantly not enough fanfics about them. So, I'm going to make it my duty to give them as much screen/fic time that they need.

Anyways review and I'll always love you. Oooo, look a rhyme… sorta.

A Father's Love

Chapter one

"Seriously Riley, its fine. You messed up, but you were trying to do something I like for once, and I love you even more for that," Zane said, laying a hand on his boyfriend's knee. They had just got back from an art exhibit and Riley had made a complete fool of himself. After insulting Zane's ex-boyfriend -which Zane had to admit was pretty dang funny- Riley had run home before Zane could stop him. It took Zane a few hours to get his ex out of the bathroom, but once he had and calmed him down, he went to go see Riley.

"I know but I'm still sorry. I didn't mean to offend him; I just wanted to do something you like," Riley said.

"Hey," Zane said. "I love you." Zane smiled and Riley smiled back.

"I love you to. I really don't know what I would do without you, or what I did to deserve you. Whatever it was though, I'm glad I did it."

Riley leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on Zane's lips. Zane leaned further into Riley and deepened the kiss. Riley gently laid Zane down and got on top of him. They continued making out, rubbing their bulges together. Riley stopped, hands and knees on either side of Zane's body, and laid a hand on Zane's cheek, stroking gently. "You know, you really are beautiful?" Riley asked, looking deep into Zane's eyes. He enjoyed watching him blush and try to roll out from underneath him.

Riley laid his body back down on top of Zane, preventing his movements. Riley kissed each cheek, then his nose, and his forehead. He placed a plethora of kisses all over Zane's face. Zane was blushing like no other and let out a slight giggle. Riley relaxed on top of him, just laying his head underneath Zane's chin and brushed up against it.

Zane rolled over so that the bigger boy was underneath him. He leaned down and gave Riley a kiss never before given. He was just about to take Riley's shirt off when all of the sudden, Riley's mom walked in.

"Ma!" Riley yelled. Zane hastily rolled off of him and quickly stood beside the bed. Riley also got up, standing right beside him.

Riley's mom looked shocked at first, but then she was angry. Really angry. "What in the hell is going on here? Get away from my son," she screamed, advancing towards Zane. All Zane could do was stand there in shock. She pushed him aside and stood in front of her son.

"Don't worry Riley. I won't let him corrupt you. I know you're a good Greek boy and would never consent to such repulsive behavior," she said looking behind her at her son. Turning to face Zane she continued, "You need to leave now, before I press charges or call your parents. I'm sure you don't want that to happen. Everyone would then know what a rapist you are," she said with a glare. Riley just stood there in shock, not knowing what to do. Zane stared at Riley, wanting to know what he was going to do.

"Did I hesitate? I said leave! Now!" she said, trying to push Zane out the door. With Zane's yelp of surprise, Riley was shaken out of his trance. He moved his mother aside, being careful not to make her fall, and stood in front of Zane.

"Ma, I'm gay and I'm in love with Zane. We love each other and it doesn't matter that we're both men," Riley said taking a step back and grabbing a hold of Zane's hand.

Riley's mom laughed skeptically. "Gay? You can't be gay, you aren't gay. Your father and I didn't raise you that way. We raised you to be straight."

"Ma, I can't help being in love with a guy, with being gay. I just am. You didn't raise me to be gay or straight. I just am." Riley said.

"You are NOT gay! I will not have an abomination under my roof. If you will not admit that what you're feeling is wrong, then you can leave and not bring anything with you but what you're wearing," Riley's mom said smugly, thinking that he wouldn't dare risk his home and all his possessions.

Riley was quiet for a long time. Zane tried to let go of his hand, but Riley wouldn't let him. He was not about to lose Zane again after all they had been through. They had just got over the whole two Riley's concept and now there was something else in their way of happiness. He loved Zane too much to hurt him again or to let him just slip through his fingers.

"Ma, I love him. I love him so much, more than anything else in the entire world. I won't lose him again. I did once and that was the most terrible time of my life. I was miserable and I hated it. It shouldn't matter that he's a boy, all that matters is that I love HIM," Riley said, pulling Zane into his side.

Riley's mom's face twisted into a look of disgust. The look was not missed by Riley or Zane and once again Zane tried to pull away, but Riley wouldn't allow it.

"Get out. Get out NOW! When your father gets home, we'll discuss what to do with you, but don't expect to ever come back into this home. You're a faggot, and I will not allow faggots in my house. Go! Leave! Get the fuck out of my house!" Riley's mom said, pushing both Riley and Zane out of Riley's bedroom. When she aimed a fist at Zane's head, that's when Riley knew it was time to get out. And out right that second.

He ran as fast as he could down the hall and stairs, dragging Zane along behind him. They kept running until they got to their special place. They had found it a few months ago, when they first got back together. It was a little place inside the woods by the park. It was extremely hard to find, and they never would have found it if Zane hadn't been running through the brush. The opening that led to it was hardly big enough for a small body to fit into it sideways. Most people wouldn't even bother trying to fit, which is what made it perfect.

Inside the opening was a small crystal clear pool of water. It was beautiful. Filled with grass and every type of flower you could imagine. There was a tall oak tree a few feet from the pool, which is where Riley had kissed Zane the first time they were there. They quickly deemed it there spot and no one knew of its location besides the two of them. Whenever they needed to think, or just some time to themselves, they always went to the same spot. The spot was where Riley had first kissed Zane after they got back together the second time. That's where they headed now.

Riley and Zane sat underneath the tree at first in silence. But, soon the unmistakable sounds of Riley's sobs could be heard. Zane wrapped one arm around him and pulled him into his side so that his head was resting on his shoulder. Riley turned his whole body into Zane, letting the smaller boy wrap his arms around his back, rubbing small circles into it.

"Shhh… Riley it's going to be ok. You can stay at my house. My parents…" Zane hesitated. Luckily Riley didn't notice. "My parents are out of town so we'll have the house to ourselves. It's not as bad as you think. Your mother will come around and your father may accept you right away. No matter the situation, you are always going to be welcome at my house," Zane said trying to comfort Riley as much as he could.

"You don't understand. I knew my ma would react that way. She raised me off the views that homosexuality is wrong and the worst possible thing you could ever be. That's why I was so afraid and didn't want to tell her, because I knew she wouldn't accept it," Riley said, sobbing harder.

"And what about your dad, baby?" Zane asked hopeful that Riley would at least have one parent by the time the dust was all settled.

"My dad? I don't know. He never really spoke out against gays. He never gave his opinion when my mom was in one of her rants. But I think he'll side with her. We've never really been close, you know. I'm scared of how he'll react," Riley said burrowing his head farther into Zane's shoulder.

"It'll be alright baby. Shhh… I'm here. Everything's going to be fine. I won't let anyone hurt you. Shhh…" Zane cooed softly into Riley's ear.

After a few hours of sitting and relaxing in their spot together, Zane stood and gently pulled Riley up with him. "Come on Riley, let's get to my house. It's getting cold and we have school tomorrow."

Together they walked hand and hand out of the barely existent hide out. Riley gripped Zane's hand like it was a life line as they walked to Zane's house. "Good god what would tomorrow bring?" Riley thought.

Sooo…. How did you like it? Tell me. PLEASE.
