So, this wasn't too too bad when it came to uploading, right? Nah, good in comparison is still bad...lol. Any-who...I haven't written a hurt and comfort fic in a while so I figured that this prompt was a pretty perfect fit for a hurt and comfort fic. lol.

I'm going through these prompts slowly, but believe me there are enough to make my eyes bleed so please be patient as I get to yours, because I will eventually.

I'm on school vacation now, so that has the possibility of quicker updates, but I can't promise since I'm a flake.

Also, the spellcheck on my Open Office does not work anymore (anyone know how to fix it?) until then I will have no grammar check so please bear with me...

Dedication: To my amazing reviewers, specifically cybale, my wife, her kind words are my inspiration.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but I did get a job, so maybe I could someday...

Prompt: Road Trips, Love, Tater Tots

Tony had been planning this trip for a year, and had been thinking about it for much longer than that. It was going to be the culminating point of his life, the thing that helped him transition between being an anxious, worrisome little boy and grow into a free spirited, open-to-anything man. And in one email, he saw it all go down the drain.

Jack, who he'd been planning this trip with for the last eight months (upon hearing about the idea for this cross country, no limits road trip Jack had immediately volunteered to go with him, and, overjoyed at the thought of having company, Tony had gladly accepted and began to entwine Jack into his schedule of things to do), had been kicked out of his mother's house and was now living in an apartment, a fact that had been going on for who knows how long and one that Jack had not decided to tell Tony until then.

Tears welled up in the small Italian's eyes at the prospect of his shattered dream, upset not with Jack, because he knew it was what Jack had to do, it's not like it was his fault; but with himself and the situation. Mad at himself because he trusted Jack to follow through with something, because even though it was never Jack's fault, he never truly seemed to come through for anyone, and partially at the situation, the world screwing him over once again.

The tears rolled down his cheeks silently, but soon grew to sobs that he couldn't control. He felt like a child with his inability to control himself, or the fit he was throwing, but thinking about this trip was his only source of happiness for the last year, the only thing keeping him sane as his family life and work in school fell apart.

He texted his boyfriend, although he wasn't entirely sure how coherent it was seeing as he could barely see the screen through his blurry tears. Sean was okay with him going with Jack on this trip, he was actually happy for him. Sean was going to go to college in the fall, and when he left, Tony would also leave and go on this road trip for as long as it took them for their money to run out. Then, once that happened Tony would go home and start classes at the local community college, and then, the next fall he would join Sean at college. The blonde wasn't afraid that Tony would cheat on him with Jack or anyone else, because their relationship had never been anything but trust and devotion; and he would have gone with him, but Sean had already seen enough adventure in his life that he felt as though he needed the opposite. He needed structure, and Tony understood that just as much as Sean understood that Tony needed some freedom.

Sean replied back, Tony could feel the phone vibrate on his leg, but the Italian was too caught up in his own misery that he didn't notice anything else until he heard a knock on his door. He got up reluctantly and opened the door, meeting his boyfriend's sympathetic face. Without any words he leaned forward and latched onto Sean's thin waist, the blonde's arms immediately wrapping around his boyfriend, one around his shoulders and the other on the back of his head, completely enveloping his small frame into him. After a few moments Sean moved them so they were inside the house and into Tony's room, where Sean laid down on his boyfriend's bed and placed his messenger bag next to them on the floor, Tony moving to lie on his side, crying on his chest, although significantly comforted by the blonde's firm embrace.

After Tony had thoroughly explained what had happened in his fit of sobs he calmed, and just rest his head on Sean's wet shoulder. He took a racking breath, "I'm sorry I freaked out so bad..." he whispered, letting his eyes slip closed.

Sean moved his head to look him in the eye, and Tony opened his once again to meet him, "Tony, you have every right to be upset. Telling you he wasn't going to go on your trip anymore is like someone telling me that I can't go to college in the fall. Just because our different dreams doesn't mean their not our dreams, and seeing your dreams shattered before your eyes is one of the hardest things to deal with. And you should never apologize for freaking out, being here for you to cry on and bring you tater tots and chocolate is what boyfriends are made for, silly." he smiled as Tony's eyes lit up.

"Tater tots and chocolate?" The Italian asked, wiping some of the tears from his eyes as he sat up a little.

"Of course, why did you think it took me so long to get here? These things take forever to cook!" he grinned as he pulled out a bowl covered in foil from his bag as well as one of the biggest bars of chocolate Tony had ever seen.

Tony let out a small, excited squeak, his sorrow almost completely forgotten, for now, "Sean, I can't believe how amazing you are sometimes..." He opened the bowl of tater tots and took one out, popping the whole thing in his mouth, there were enough of them there, he didn't need to eat them sparingly, "And it's even still warm...I love you so much..." Tony smiled, pulling Sean to him once again and letting his face fall into the crook of Sean's neck. As he felt the blonde wrap his arms around him again, more tears began to fall down his face.

As Sean felt more wetness against his skin he pulled back, concern once again adorning his delicate features, "Tony, what could possibly be the matter now? You have enough chocolate and tater tots to put you in a coma for weeks..." he smiled as he saw the expression mirrored on his boyfriend through his tears.

"No, it's just, it makes me so happy to know that you're always there for me, I love you so much, I can't even describe it..." He moved back into his position hugging Sean while eating another tater tot at the same time.

"You don't need to describe it, because I know you would do the same for me, I'm always here for you, and I always will be. I love you too, Tony, and I always will..." Sean squeezed Tony in an embrace that seemed to last forever, but at the same time, seemed to end too quickly; and all they could think was that they would always have more.

*chokes on the massive amounts of fluff...sorry, there should have been a warning for that or something lol*
