A drabble about Zane trying to calm Johan down
Zane closed the door behind him. He could hear the sobs even from downstairs. Johan was obviously home, and upset. Zane made his way, quietly, up the stairs, not wanting to alert Johan to his presence. If Johan knew he was home the bluenette would immediately stop crying and try and pretend everything was okay. Zane didn't want that.
He made his way to the far bedroom, the master bedroom, the bedroom that they shared and opened the door. Just as he thought, Johan was sitting on the bed, knees to his throat, sobbing into a pillow. Zane didn't care to ask why he just knew that Johan needed him. He sat down on the bed next to Johan and the bluenette lifted his head and looked at Zane with bloodshot eyes. He had been crying for a while.
"Oh Johan," Zane sighed and wrapped his arms around his lover, pulling him close to his body. Johan unwrapped himself and clung to Zane's shirt, tears still streaming down his face. That's when a piece of paper got Zane's eye. He didn't notice it at first because it had been sitting on the other side of Johan but now that the bluenette had moved Zane could clearly read what was on the paper.
Adoption Request Form
DENIED
They had been denied, again. This was the third time. That explained the sobbing. Zane placed his head in the crook of Johan's neck and tightened his grip on the other. "It'll be okay. We'll get accepted on the next one," Zane murmued and Johan just nodded into his chest, not able to find words. Zane started to rub circles into Johan's back and the bluenette's tears slowly subsided until he pushed himself away from Zane and wiped the last of them away with a sad smile on his face. "Guess we'll have to try again," Johan said quietly with a halfhearted laugh. Zane nodded and rubbed Johan's head. "We'll get it next time," he replied and gave a small smile. Johan looked up at Zane and then threw his arms around him. "Yeah, we will," he said with new vigor, "We'll try extra hard this time! They can't deny us again!" Zane chuckled and patted Johan's back, "That's the spirit."
