I would've had this chapter out sooner but I got locked out of my house yesterday for nearly two hours. It was like 90 degrees too:( Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 5,

Father and son bonding time?

Jeremy was long gone, in fact he should probably be at work by now.

Mike was seated on the couch, his legs crossed, and were elevated by the coffee table...Vincent was curled up in a ball on the other side of the couch. Mike turned his head towards him. He honestly didn't know whether Vincent was sleeping or awake. He just grunted, turning his head back to the screen. He was watching pokemon as he tried to ignore the pain in his chest, and his ribs.

When Mike had gotten to the doctors he found out that he had bruises and scratches mainly all over his chest. He shivered. Mike had always felt uncomfortable whenever the doctor gave you a "Check up".He only liked Jeremy to do that to him.

Good thing that Vincent was pretty much ok though. Jeremy took it upon himself to figure out exactly what he had. Turns out Vincent only had a bad case of the stomach flu. Heh, Guess that explained all the times he threw up.

Mike looked over to him once again. His pride would never allow him to say it but, he truly loved his family. Mikes eyes widened. Wait! What did he just think? Even though he was feeling like he got hit by a bus, he had time to figure it out.

Mike was happier than he been in a long time, and let the words ring and echo throughout his head. He loved them, he actually truly loved them...

He didn't even know he could feel that anymore. He thought he had lost it, that feeling, that it had slipped through and out his fingers long ago...Back in 1987. That's when he swore it. He swore he would never trust, he would never love anything or anyone again. Mike was snapped out of his thoughts when Vincent croaked. "Dad?" Mike let a small smile plaster itself on his face. "Yeah kiddo? What do you need?" Man, was he feeling freakin sentimental right now, he wished it would just stop.

There was just a silence that drifted through the air. Mike chuckled a bit, stopping abruptly because it hurt to laugh. "You feeling shiiiiiiii-crappy right now too?" Mike asked, actually bothering to catch himself this time.

Vincent attempted nodding, failing because his head felt like it was about to split open, and his stomach threatinging to throw up everything left, which was probably just acid. Mike attempted to comfort his son. "Hey, uh..." He started, not knowing exactly what to say and sighed."Damn it! Why do I have suck at sentimental stuff."

He sighed. He knew if Jeremy was here now he would be laughing at him. Jeremy laughed at almost everything he did usually, but he meant no harm and was juse being playful. Around everyone else though he was just...shy.

An idea Popped into Mikes head! "Hey Vinny, Wanna hear a pun?" Before awaiting an answer, he continued. "Because I can make some pretty...sick jokes!" Mike laughed, Preparing to make another one. Vincent knew what this meant as he buried his head into the shiny toaster he was cuddling, dreading what was about to come.

Jeremy twiddled his thumbs. He was seated at a table in the pizzeria biting his bottom lip as he got up, his name being called. "Heeeeeeeeeeeey Jeremy!" Chris boomed, dropping his mop to run to him. "Uh...um hi Chris." Jeremy replied politly. Chris grinned, ready to tease Jeremy.

"Sooo, how are things going with your boyfriend." He cooed, lacing his fingers staring up in the air, trying to playfully mock him. A blush spread across Jeremy's face. "Uh-" Chris shut his mouth. "Hey, I heard what happened earlier." Jeremy's eyes widened "What? H-How did you-" Chris snorted. "News travels pretty fast around here, you'll be surprised."

Jeremy raised his eyebrows, taken aback as Chris's smirk suddenly dropped from his face. Chris lowered his voice, talking fast. "Look Jeremy I like a friendly chat as much as the next person, but that's not what I needed to talk to you about."

Fear started to rise inside of him, as he stiffened."Wh-What are you talking abou-" he started as Chris cut him off. Motioning Jeremy to follow him to the janiters closet. He was a little hesitent, but causiously followed Chris.

Chris closed the door behind him. Whispering careful instructions in Jeremy's ear.

Vincent felt horrible, as he threw up once more. His pale eyes were glazed, and tried to not focus on it and to watch whatever his dad had been watching. Sadly all it led to was the repeating in his head.

He was hot,

although he really felt cold on the inside.

His stomach hurt.

He was extremly nauseous.

He had a really bad headahe.

He was dizzy.

He was tired, but couldn't find sleep.

He wanted toast.

He wanted comfort.

These complaints kept swimming through his head, but his head only, he would not voice them. His bottom lip quivered as he looked longingly at his daddy. Mike had fallen asleep, and was slouched against the couch. Vincent carefully placed his toaster on the coffee table. He collapsed onto Mike's lap, laying there as he was comfortable, and finally drifted off to sleep.

Mike stiffened, and cracked open one eyelid waeily. He saw Vincent lay there. He was about to kick him off, but didnt. He thought."Can't he just...cuddle with his toaster Damn it." Although Mike only grunted, and decided that he'd let him stay there just until his shift at his new job. He leaned back once again and fell asleep.

Vincent unconsciously smiled.

Jeremy too had smiled as he flinged open the door, and quietly closed it behind. He saw Vincent laying happily on Mike's lap. Mikes beanie was almost pushed halfway off his head, as he lay down, quietly snoring. Jeremy took out his camera, and shyly hesitated for a second before snapping a quick shot of the adorable scene in front of him.

He yawned, not wanting to be left out, and took off his hat and kicked off his shoes as he made his way over to the couch. He leaned his head back, blushing as he rested it on his husband's stomach. He too fell asleep, not long after.

There they were...Another happy family...
