Chapter 1: Great Idea
Roger was sitting on the couch watching Harper play with her new toy. She was in her playpen. Roger smiled and then it soon fell. He started to think of all gifts that he had gotten his family. Then he started to think of the gift that he had gotten Riggs. He had gotten him a watch. Riggs had smiled and said thank you, and then Roger noticed that Riggs had left quickly when he family walked in. Roger started to really think about it. Riggs didn't have no family at all really.
-Later-
Roger was laying in bed and was thinking about Riggs. Trish walked out of the bathroom and saw that her husband who was deep in thought. She smiled and got into bed. She moved next to him and looked at him.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked him. Roger said without looking at her.
"Riggs."
"Martin? Why?" She asked him.
"He doesn't have any family. I feel bad cause he is all alone." Trish could see that Roger was very sadden over this.
"Why don't you give him a family for next Christmas?" She asked him. Roger looked over at her with an odd look.
"How?" He asked her.
"Well, I know that you love him, so why not be with him and date him and then give him a family?" Roger looked at her. He did love Riggs yes, but as a brother nothing else.
"I don't know Trish if I can do that or not." He told her.
-Next Day-
Roger was chasing their bad guy. He chased him into an old building. Roger moved around a corner and saw the man with a gun pointed at him. Roger moved to back away. Riggs jumped down on the man and started to fight with him. Roger heard a loud bang. He knew that the gun had went off, but Riggs and the guy were still fighting. Soon Riggs got the upper hand and finally knock the man out. Riggs stood up and Roger saw the red patch on Martin's shirt. Riggs saw the look on Roger's face and looked down. He saw the blood, he smiled at it and then at Roger.
"Looks like I got hit." He laughed lightly. Roger ran over and placed his hand on the back of Martin's back and the other on Riggs's side and tried to stop the bleeding.
-Later-
Roger walked into Martin's hospital room and looked over at the bed. Roger smiled and saw Riggs sitting on the side of the bed. He looked like that he was about to walk out. Roger walked over to him and sat down on the bed with him. Martin smiled and said without looking at him.
"Did the guy say if his killed the guy?" He asked him.
"Yeah he did." Roger told him.
-Later that night-
Roger helped Riggs into his trailer. He helped him to the couch and helped him set down. Roger moved and sat down in the chair that was in the trailer. He looked at Martin and had to know.
"Why did you jump on the guy?" He asked him. Riggs looked at Roger and smiled.
"Do you have to ask." He said smiling.
"Yes I do have to ask?" Roger told him. Riggs breathed in deep and smiled at him again.
"Because I didn't want you to get hurt." He told him. Martin smiled at him and looked away. Roger knew what Riggs was really saying. He was really saying that Roger was important to everyone and everyone would miss him, but no one would miss him. Roger felt sadden about this.
"I have to ask Riggs." Martin looked at Roger when he said this.
"What?"
"Would you ever date a man?" Roger asked and Martin looked at him with an odd look, then smiled again.
"Yes, I would." Now it was Roger's turn to look at Riggs with an odd look.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I would have to get to know them first but, yes I would date a man."
"Riggs why do you think that you are expendable?" Roger asked this and Martin's smile fell.
"Cause besides you and your family and those at work. Y'all would be the only ones to mourn my death. I have no family and no girlfriend or boyfriend and no kids…so I would be forgotten quickly." He told him. Roger looked at Martin in horror. He didn't know that Riggs felt this way.
Roger moved and got up and moved over to Martin and sat down beside him. Roger moved and took Riggs's hand into his and Martin looked at him with an odd look. Riggs could see that Roger was to mean what he was about to say.
"Riggs, if you died I would mourn you everyday until I take my last breath." Martin smiled a small sad smile.
"And I would do the same for you too. If you were to leave me alone in this world I would find some way to join you. You are the reason I am alive now. Keeping you safe is the reason I have to live." Roger smiled and then he felt something for Riggs that he has never felt for him before.
-Later that night around midnight-
Roger was laying in bed and smiled to himself. He was thinking of what Riggs had told him earlier. Then he felt what he had felt earlier. He sat up in bed and smiled a big smile.
"Oh my god, I'm in love with him."
