Gay Priest and Religious Boy - Penance

When Father Romeo looks at sweet Marcus, he gets a warm sensation in his chest. Something about the boy reminds him of himself when he was young. He struggled with his identity and had a hard time keeping his entire inner life a secret from his family and friends. Even by the time he was old enough to live his own life and make his own decisions, he had been so accustomed to hiding his true identity that he simply could not let it surface. That is why he entered the priesthood, hoping to serve as a good Catholic and a beacon unto the lord. At the same time, the rules of the priesthood would prevent him from ever having to explain why he never brings women home to his parents. He can tell that the same internal conflict that drove him towards religion is storming inside of young Marcus, and he hopes to provide him some comfort in his struggles...
