This story isn't very fluffy and cute, more dark and heartbreaking.

I hope you like it, comments and reviews would be great:)

Ste was awoken by the quiet snore of Brendan, his bare chest raising up and down slowly which comforted him in a weird way. He turned over to look what time it was. 8AM, the kids were normally screaming for them to get up by now 'Daddy Brendan, Daddy wake up! Let's go to the park. Daddies get up!' Where were they?

''Hey Bren?'' Ste whispered.

''Mhmm, what?'' Brendan whispered back not quite awaken from his slumber.

''Have the kids been in yet?''

''Not that i know of, least they haven't woke me up. Why?'' Now a little bit more awake.

''Their normally up by now.'' Ste said trying to hide the concern in his voice.

''I'm sure they'll be in bed, finally sleeping. What time is it anyway, Steven?'' His voice hoarse he was coming down with a cold.

''8AM'' Ste replied

''See it's not even that early.''

''Hm, i suppose. I'm just going to go check on them.'' Ste got up, went to get some trousers on. His scrawny chicken arms shining in the light that was peaking through the curtains. Brendan sat up squinting from the sun.

''Hey, you been working out? Your chicken arms aren't as...well, chicken-y?'' Brendan said jokingly.

''Ey shut up.'' Ste winked leaning over to give Brendan a soft kiss. His lips were warm and his moustache tinkled Ste's top lip. Brendan tickled Ste's underarm and Ste squirmed. He knew just where Ste was ticklish. Ste parted from the kiss, lifting up again and turned around. Brendan slapped that delicious bum and gave him a quick wink. Ste smiled.

''Steven, could you make me a jam sandwich and don't forget-'' He was cut off.

''Yeah yeah, seedless jam. I know.'' He smiled.

''Hm, i love you''

''Tell me something i don't know.'' He beamed. Brendan could hear him pottering around in the kitchen, could hear the jam pot and the knife scraping the butter on to the bread. Brendan decided to get up, couldn't get back to sleep now. The kids would be up soon and well yeah. He reached for his suit trousers and his favourite black shirt. Buttoning it so you could still see his muscly chest and his cross. He sneaked up behind Ste and kissed his neck softly. Because boyfriends do that, right? Imma make him feel special. Make today special, i don't know why? He just deserves it. Brendan thought.

''Hey, your sandwich is here''

''Ah, perfect thank you!'' He said kissing his soft lips.

''Right, i'm gonna check on the kissed. Their not even making a sound, must be sleeping like babies.''

''Lie in for once, eh?''

''Hm''

Ste walked over to the kids bedroom the floor creaking, that floorboard always creaked. It got on Brendan's nerves but hey, when Ste's bum moved in them tracksuit bottoms he could block it out easy another. Ste pushed the door open with one hand the other holding a glass over water and rubbing his tired eyes. The glass dropped. The kids weren't there. What? NO! WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY?

''Steven, what's matter?'' Brendan shouted hearing the glass smash in to a million pieces on the wooden floor. ''STEVEN!''

''The kids, they're gon-'' He couldn't finish he voice wavering

''What do you mean? Gone. Steven?'' Brendan sat up quickly and rushed over to Ste's side, letting the sandwich and the plate drop to the floor. All happiness had gone out of the room, now it was cold, frosty it seemed like the sun had disappeared to.

''Oh my fucking god. It's okay. We'll find them Steven. They might just be outside. Eh?'' He put his arm round his waist seeing tears streaming down Ste's face. ''Eh? Lets look''

''Loo-k at the win-dow.'' Ste said hardly able to get his words out now. The window was smashed, a hammer left on the table. A note attached. ''There's a note on the hammer, Brendan. Who would want to hurt my kids. WHO?''

''I don't..i don't know, Steven.'' Brendan's voice was breaking now also. He moved carefully going to pick up the hammer. Ste stood motionless in the door way not quite sure what to do with himself. ''The note Steven, it says: Hi, i'm guessing you noticed the kids have gone now-'' Ste burst into tears. Brendan tried to carry on ''Surprised you didn't hear there screams. Although they did have ductape around their mouths anyway, Brendan you owe me..you killed my little brother and if this is the only way to get to you. To make you suffer, then so be it. Good Luck, Walker.''

Ste couldn't handle it he burst into more tears and ran into the front room he stood shaking, Brendan followed him.

''Hey, we'll get them back..Steven, baby? Don't worry.''

''HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY TELL ME NOT TO WORRY HOW DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. KNOWING MY BABIES ARE IN DANGER KNOWING THAT THEY ARE IN THE HANDS OF SOME SORT OF PHSYCO, EH? DON'T ACT LIKE YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND BRENDAN BECAUSE YOU DON'T'' Ste shouted back, face red with anger. Hatred even. He shoved Brendan so hard he nearly fell over the sofa. Brendan paused. Didn't understand. Does he not understand how much he went through when he took Deccy? I understand his fucking pain more than any fucker. Brendan's first reaction was to lash out, punch him, beat him up till he was black and blue. He didn't realize his fists where clenched, he breathed in and out calming himself. He unclenched his fist, composed himself and turned around to face Ste who's eyes were now streaming his beautiful face covered his glistening tears. Brendan stroked his cheek with his thumb.

''I do understand. Declan. We'll get them back, i'll make sure of it.'' He dipped his head and kissed Ste lightly and grabbed his coat ready to leave. Ste grabbed him, nestled his head into Brendan's collarbone.

''I'm sorry, i love you'' whispering in to his coat, holding Brendan so tight.

''Hey, you don't have to apologize, I love you too'' He said lifting Ste's chin up and kissed his forehead. His moustache brushing his hairline. Ste wasn't about to let the only thing the both had left in their lives get away. He held him so tight and Brendan hugged back. Stood in the middle of the room, they swayed. Brendan kissing Ste's head for comfort.

''We'll find them.'' Ste said reassuring him and Brendan.

''We will, i love you'' Brendan whispered.

''I love you'' Ste replied. They stood hugging.
