My Support System

When his arm slinged around J.D's sofa, and his fingers fiddled softly with the hair on J.D's neck, Perry allowed himself to lose control, and let the emotions out he knew would help the fallen boy. Because J.D had always helped him - the kid deserved at least that. Especially as earlier, a punch in the face is hardly a great support.

"Truth be told Newbie," J.D stared at Perry with a suprised face, the lump in his throat growing just by the look in Perry's eyes, "I'm proud of ya.." J.D turned back to face the T.V, his eyes swelling red with tears.

Dan grinned from beside him, beer in hand as he sipped it slowly. "Me too," He said softly. When J.D looked between them, the tears in his eyes continued before he sat up and removed Perry's hand from him as he walked into his bedroom for a little privacy.

As he sat on his bed he replayed back moments where his dad was always there. He replayed back moments where his whole family was there and at the last memory, it was opening his door to Dan and a cake. Knowing his world would fall apart, even if he felt okay outside.

The door to his bedroom opened and J.D didn't turn to look as someone's weight fell down on the bed beside him, and an arm slipped around his back to pull him into a beautiful scented chest. Perry's chest.

Then he let it out, small sobs of depression which turned into cries as Perry picked them both up and they stood in the centre of the room. J.D's head pressed into Perry's neck and large arms around his waist as his were flung over Perry's shoulders.

When his crying died down he felt a gentle kiss on his lips, and the salted taste of his tears. "C'mon J.D, I doubt your dad would want this.. Right?"

J.D nodded slowly and tried to back away from Perry, but the man only held him closer and whispered in his ear.

"But if you tell anyone. Then. Newbie, I'll get you.." J.D let out a small laugh at the hesitation in Perry's voice before the man placed few kisses on J.D's lips and led the man back out to the livingroom where Dan sat, yelling at the T.V.

Perry turned it off and turned toward them as he sat in a chair, "Tell me about him, then.." He told J.D, and J.D gave a gentle smile before telling various stories about one of his heros, and the whole time Perry thought:

'Kid looks cute in my clothes.'
