I'll See You In My Dreams

Bringing Jack home from the hospital was hard for his mother and Alex.

Jack fought like a toddler to stay with Alex at his house rather than going back home. It took a lot of convincing for his mom from Jack and his physiatrist that he'd be better off at a place where he felt safe and secure: Alex's home.

They moved a great deal of Jack's clothing and personal belongings to Alex's house.

Several lectures about how Jack is a picky eater and how Alex should watch what he eats, and one on making Alex promise that Jack will take his meds and that he'd be taken care of, she was pulling out of the teachers drive way with a sad look plastered on her face.

Jack was lay out on the recliner in Alex's living room with Justin curled up on his lap purring contently. Jack looked pale and tired.

You could see how the color was drained from his usually tan and lively face. He had patches of stubble on areas of his chin and cheek. But, mainly, his body language said it all. It showed how mentally and physically exhausted Jack was.

His body almost melted into the chair, shoulders slack as if he was asleep, even though he was awake.

Alex didn't know how long he was standing there, staring. But it was long enough for him to notice how tired his legs were getting.

He made the short distance from the front door to the recliner Jack was sitting at and sat on the arm of the chair. Jack didn't make an effort to move making Alex sigh.

He gently ran his fingers through Jacks limp, dull, lifeless hair. Jack flinched slightly making Alex feel like a douche.

"You okay, babe?" He asked Jack softly, cupping his hand over his.

"Yeah." Jack whispered, barely audible.

Alex smiled weakly, softly squeezing his hand.

"You wanna go to bed, hm?" Alex asked, eyes scanning Jack's blank expression.

Jack nodded and stuck his arms out, making grabby hands at the elder.

"You want me to carry you?" Alex laughed, gently scooping Jack into his strong arms.

Jack just hummed, a content smile on his face

Alex gently lay Jack on the side of the bed that wasn't his and covered him in the dark comforter.

"Are you hurting? Want me to get you your pain meds?" Alex asked as he smoothed Jack's hair out of his face.

Jack nodded and greedily accepted the two pills Alex brought back.

Alex was fixing to leave the dimly lit room to grade papers he was behind on when he heard Jack grunt loudly. "What?" He laughed.

"Lay with me!" Jack whined, pout taking over his face.

Alex sighed and crawled into bed next to his boyfriend cause, I mean, who could possibly say no to him?
