A/N: I decided to make a drabble collection for my favorite pairing in GX. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Prompt:
Never let me go
Atticus embraced Chazz as tightly as he could. Chazz buried his head into Atticus's shoulder. "Why did you tell them? I even agreed that it was a bad idea after you explained."
Chazz didn't answer. He couldn't really explain why other than he was ready to not have all this promise on his shoulders. He was ready to live his own life, with Atticus by his side as his life partner. Everyone seeing how happy he was. Admittedly, he knew it was just a fantasy but dreams can be lived. Love is meant to be pursued. However he didn't expect what his brothers would say to him would cut him so deep. He stood tough when he was telling them about Atticus… but his brothers' eyes burned their disappointment in him. He felt their thoughts of his perceived failure. That he was lesser than they were. Chazz thought he had gotten over that need to impress them by now but…
Atticus rubbed Chazz's back in soothing circles. "It is OK to feel upset at them. It is OK to still care what they think… they are family, they will eventually get over it and see what a strong person you are."
Chazz pulled away from Atticus's shoulder and wiped his eyes. "Maybe when they're 90," he muttered.
"I said eventually didn't I?"
Chazz gave a soft smile. "You always know how to cheer me up don't you?"
