Hello all! This is going to be a compilation of one or two-shots based on your requests! PM me or leave an idea in the reviews. And if you haven't already, go check out my other stories Not So Nice Guy (in-progress) and I'm Not a Victim (complete).
P.S. - I won't do any Brallie stories. Sorry! I just really, really don't like them together.
This first one is going to be about Connor standing up for Jude in front of Adam.
Connor laid in his hospital bed staring at the ceiling as the time ticked by slowly. He was begging for something to happen: even if it was just the nurse coming to change his bandages on his foot.
There was a knock at the door and Connor sat up interested.
"Uhh, come in!" He said hesitantly. His dad never knocked and the nurses always announced themselves.
Jude opened the door and cautiously stepped in. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
Connor's face lit up when he saw Jude. "Great! Well, actually my foot hurts like hell but I'm better now that you're here." Connor sat up more and patted the bed, signaling Jude to sit.
"Sorry I didn't come earlier. I tried. Honestly! But…" Jude looked down, not wanting to explain any further.
"But my dad wouldn't let you in. He told me that I needed to text you and tell you to leave but I refused." Connor smiled. "I'm really glad that you're here Jude." He looked at Jude's painted fingernails. "What's that?"
Jude returned the smile. "War paint."
Connor couldn't contain himself any longer. He pulled Jude close and kissed him. "God I've missed that." He said after he finally pulled himself away.
"Me too." Jude bit his bottom lip and smiled innocently at Connor. He crawled up next to Connor in the bed and laid his head on Connor's chest.
"So does this mean that we're… are you my boyfriend?" Connor kissed the top of Jude's head and silently prayed that he would say yes.
"Of course I am. Well, that is if you're mine."
"Duh!" Connor kissed Jude again, this time lifting Jude's chin so their lips could meet easier. They snuggled together and started to drift off when someone barged into the room.
"What the hell is this! Get the hell off of my son!" Adam ran over to the bed and grabbed Jude by the arm, yanking him off of the bed.
"Dad, stop! Don't hurt him!" Connor tried to get out of bed, but the pain in his foot prevented him from moving too much.
"I thought I told you to leave! You're trespassing!" Adam tried to get Jude out of the room, but stopped when Connor protested further.
"Dad, no! Jude is my boyfriend!" Connor sat on the edge of his bed reaching out into the open for Jude.
"No, Connor! My son is not gay!" Adam had tears in his eyes and a look of determination on his face.
"But I am dad. I'm gay." A smile broke out onto Connor's face. "Do you hear me? I am so gay!" Connor was practically shouting.
Adam was so shocked that he loosened his grip on Jude's arm enough for him to wriggle away and run to Connor.
"Connor, I…" Adam was struggling for words.
"It's okay dad. You don't have to be okay with it right now. I just want you to know the truth. It's not fair to me and it really isn't fair to Jude to hide who I am." Connor looked over at Jude and grasped his hand tightly. He looked back to his dad whose face had turned from confusion to anger.
"No! I don't believe you! You're just saying these things so you won't hurt Jude's feelings!" Adam paced back and forth, rubbing his head as he went.
Jude and Connor shared a sad look. "Dad. Dad, look at me!" Connor turned his attention back to his dad who stopped walking and stared back at his son. "I don't know how to make you believe me so…" Connor grabbed Jude's face and kissed him passionately. Jude returned the kiss even though he was completely shocked.
Adam stared at the boys in utter disbelief. "This is really you? This isn't a joke or for show?"
"No, dad. It's not a joke. Jude and I are in a relationship. And don't think that you and I won't be able to do the same things anymore. I still love sports, and camping, and hiking. And, I still love you dad. Just because I'm dating a boy doesn't mean anything between us has to change. I'm still your son."
Adam's hard expression softened. "I just don't want you to be picked on or get hurt." He looked back and forth between Connor and Jude. "It's going to take some time for me to get used to this, but I guess I can work with it. But, I'm going to have to treat this just like if you had a girlfriend. Which means no more sleepovers and no hanging out behind closed doors. Understand?"
"Got it!" Connor smiled and squeezed Jude's hand.
"And Jude, I'm sorry about grabbing you like that. It was wrong of me. I apologize."
"It's okay, Mr. Stevens." Jude smiled.
"Alright, well I'm going to go home and get some stuff done. I'll be back later. Jude, I guess just hang out as long as you want." Adam walked towards the door with a dejected look on his face. "And no funny business, guys!" He smiled weakly and walked out of the room, leaving the door wide open.
"Wow, he really wasn't kidding about no closed doors, huh?" Jude said jokingly.
"At least he didn't say no being alone." Connor had a devious look on his face. He laid down and pulled Jude with him. "It's going to take some time for him to get used to this, but I think we're headed in the right direction. At least we can be completely normal at your house."
Jude smiled and kissed his boyfriend. "Thank you… for sticking up for me."
"Well yeah, you're my boyfriend silly!"
Connor turned on the tv and Jude snuggled closely to him. They each laid there grateful that the encounter with Adam went decently well but they both dreaded what would happen when they came out at school.
So… what do you think? Let me know! And don't forget to give me some ideas for the next stories!
