Don't own anyone sadly as they own themselves :/

A/N:Have high hopes for this story as it was my oridinal idea when I started to get into fanfic, hope you all like it :)

Curled up in the corner Jeff watches his little friend having the same nightmare over and over but knowing there is nothing he can do to help him, he knew Shan had the same nightmare every night since it happened, god he wished he had been home instead of working, it wouldn't have happened if he was home. Jeff was brought from his thoughts when his little best friend called out his name. Jumping up he ran over to the bed and cuddled him, knowing that he would wake up with a gasp then burst into tears before making an excuse to go and lock himself in the bathroom like he always did. As he held onto him sadness fell on his face. How on earth could he let someone touch his baby...he shook his head no he wasn't his baby but he secretly wanted him to be ever since he had met him something about his best friend was beautiful, cute and damn right lovable. Again brought out of his thoughts by Shannon waking up with a gasp curling into Jeff as he cried. Jeff held onto him not wanting him to go into that bathroom he knew damn well what Shannon did in there behind the closed door, he had seen the scars to prove it. But again Shannon made up the excuse he needed the bathroom although they both knew that was a lie. Shannon raced into the bathroom as Jeff darted to try and stop him...too late the door was locked listening in he could hear his little best friend crying and then welp in pain.

'Shan please stop.'

He didn't answer, Jeff gave up he knew that Shan would come out of that bathroom before anything too bad happens.

'Shanny I'm going downstairs to get a drink you want anything?'

...Again no answer, sadness crept back onto Jeff's face as he left the room. Shannon looked down at his arms, cut into them was one simple word repeated across his arms and wrists...WHY... He burst into tears everything had been fine till that day everything, this was all his fault was what THEY said. All his fault. That's what he believed. Pulling down the sleeves of Jeff's jumper Shannon stood up and quickly went about cleaning up the blood off the razor and floor before wiping his tears from his eyes. Tilting his head he then burst into tears once more.

'Why?'

Unlocking the bathroom door he climbed back into bed not wanting to go downstairs Claude would see him upset and ask him what happened there was no-way he could answer him, closing his eyes he wanted to sleep but instantly opened them again, he knew if he slept the same thing would happen overtime, he would start off having a nice dream probably about pixie stix and skittles and more than likely ice-cream too. Then it would get dark and he would shiver...then the nightmare would happen the scene that happened would play over and over untill he would wake up crying...Shannon jumped out of his skin and hid under the covers something touched him. Pulling back the covers he saw the something and curled back up to him. It was Jeff. His protector. The one who stopped it all happening untill he went to work. Why did he have to go to work that day? Jeff held his friend not wanting to let him go, as Shannon's eyes slowly shut into a deep sleep, Jeff was determined to make the dream go away, so he began to whisper sweet nothings into his ears in the hopes it would stop the dream...

'Your not what they say, they tried to hurt you baby but it didn't happen you were too strong for them. They try to taunt you in your sleep but alas you think of your favourite things. Skittles, Art, Pixie Stix and music think of these baby. Think of you and me sitting down the lake it's summer baby remember you and me eating ice cream with skittles by our side remember that baby. Remember how you glowed in the sunlight, you were gorgeous baby remember. As I played the guitar you were smiling that oh so perfect smile that gleamed across your face. Remember baby. You pushed me to the floor remember that. You wanted to play you did you have so much energy baby. You got me in the lake remember baby you and I swimming around ducking and diving pushing each other about baby you remember don't you? Baby please remember. Please?'

Shannon moaned and sighed before smiling and turning into Jeff, who in turn smiled he knew he was fighting that dream away...

'Remember what happened baby, remember you clung onto my back and held on tightly baby? remember we spent hours in there baby remember that day don't let your dream be destroyed. You looked perfectly beautiful like the little cherub you are baby remember how we spent the whole day holding each other hugging each other baby. Just like I'm holding you know baby. Remember that day we finally got out of the lake baby remember that? You held my hand and dragged me back to the house and up the stairs away from Matt baby remember. You took your shirt off baby you said it was too hot so I did the same baby your perfect little body shining in the sunlight. We put Marilyn on then didn't we baby we danced about that room not caring what anyone thought you looked stunning baby. You did. Remember that baby. Do you? Do you remember it?'

Shannon nodded in his sleep, for once in the three weeks since it happened the dream had not come all he dreamt of was that day the day in the sun with his best friend. Wrapping his arms around Jeff's neck he fell into a wonderful deep sleep ignoring all opportunities for his nightmare to come back, he let his mind wander. Jeff though suddenly went red, he looked down and saw just how much those sweet words ment to the both of them. Wrapping his arms around Shannon's waist he pulled him close accidentally on purpose rubbing both of the hardened members together. Letting out a small moan before falling asleep and joining Shannon in his dream world. Their dreams danced around that day as they both finished off what happened the falling about to the playful right, to the running downstairs and somewhat arguing over the last packet of skittles which Jeff gave Shannon. They were both brought out of their dream worlds by the light suddenly going on both moaning they pulled the covers up over their heads. Matt shook his head before sitting on the side of the bed.

'Wake up you two angry clowns, Shan you need to go home Vince needs me and Jeff for three weeks as the others havent showed up and have phoned in saying they ain't going.'

Shannon's eyes grew wide, not again the two couldn't leave again. What if it happened again no he couldn't possibly live...Jeff shook Shannon and then pulled him close.

'Shanny I'm not going it's ok I won't leave you, they won't hurt you I promise.'

'Jeff we have...'

'No I'm not leaving Shannon to that stupid dickhead no no no no no. End of.'

'Wait I have a plan...'

Running out of the room Matt goes as Jeff pulls Shannon in tight who by now has started to cry again.

'Jeffy it went... The dream went bu..bu...but now...'

Jeff held his face and pulled it up so he could look at him as Shannon cried worried and scared.

'Shanny listen I am not leaving you at all no no no. Don't worry okay. I promise they will not hurt you.'

'But you have to go...'

'No I am not Matt can whine all he wants I am not leaving you again.'

'Promise forever.'

'Forever and a lifetime.'

Shannon let a little smile appear on his face before wrapping his arms around Jeff's neck again and sitting facing him on his lap cuddling into his neck. Jeff let his hands wrap around Shannon's waist once again holding him on his lap as he nuzzled the little ones neck. Matt ran back into the room and smiled when he saw the two of them together, most people would find that weird but there was something about that sight that just felt like it should be. Jeff notices Matt and looks up holding his best friend tighter.

'I am not go..'

'Shannon we spoke to you mom she knows what happened, your coming with us.'

'Wait what?'

Shannon turned and looked at Matt with his eyes wide.

'YOU TOLD HER!?'

'Shannon we had too.'

'We?'

Jeff questioned.

'Yeah me and dad, we also told Dyl who said when you come back you won't have to worry.'

'I won't?'

'Nope something about he going to show the cocksucker a lesson.'

Shannon let a smile drift to his face, he was being protected no more would it happened especially if Dyl had anything to do with it.

'Now get your stuff packed Jeff we leave in an hour then head to Shannon's so he can get his stuff, I have already cleared Shannon staying with Vince he is ok with it as long as he doesn't cause shit.'

'YAY!'

Shannon jumped up and started bouncing on the bed pulling Jeff up to bounce too. Who happily joined in, Matt smiled and headed off to his room to pack as the two friends laughed and giggled like five year olds about the road trip ahead.
