The spare key was under the mat like always. the door creaked, but only enough to stir the cat curled on the couch. He walked the path lit only by moonlight to a large sink in the kitchen, and stopped for a second, before taking a deep breath.He first took of his jacket, carefully, one shoulder at a time, wincing ever so silently at the pain. he then removed his shirt. he turned on the water and stuck his head in. the lukewarm water rushed over his hot head and cooled him down. he closed his eyes, and focused on breathing. He stood up slowly and brushed his black hair back. he tried to block all thoughts of what just happened, and focused on treating himself. he took a paper towel, and dampened it. He began wiping his scrapes and burns slowly, not hearing anything but his shaky breath.
“Dominick?”
Andy watched the shape turn sharply, then saw the light green eyes, reflecting in the moonlight, that confirmed his thoughts. He stepped carefully, slowly, holding his hand out like a child meeting a dog. The figure getting ever so clearer, gently took hold of his hands and held him apart, stopping Andy from embracing him. He let go of the hands, and they dropped to the brunette’s side. He continued wiping his burns, reassured by the darkness, that Andy would not see them. Andy let a small gasp escape  his mouth, when he had noticed something liquid on his hands, the dull red tint shined in the little light, and gave him the worst thoughts. He stared at his hands. Two other hands grabbing his wrists startled him, they pulled him closer, and began wiping his hands with the towel. Andy stared up at the face staring down at his hands. It was regretful, and sad. Andy quietly clapped his hands and the dim sink light turned on. and Dominick froze. Andy took a step back and his now clean hands flew up to cover his mouth. There were small scrapes, and belt burns all over Dominick’s shoulders, and probably his back. Andy felt the first tear slip down his cheek, knowing all too well the reason for these future scars. Dominick turned and quickly pulled out the med kit from below the sink, rushed to sanitize the the cuts and burns and only slowed to bandage them properly. He took a deep breath and pulled a shirt from his coat pocket, and pulled it over his head. he turned to see Andy, now on his knees, silently sobbing. He dropped to his own, and pulled Andy into an embrace, and held tightly as the boy sobbed.
“I don’t want you hurt.”  the boy whispered between tears.
“ I know.” Dominick replied, choking down his own tears, not allowing  himself to show Andy that he was just as scared.
Andy pushed against his chest hard, pushing himself back into the cabinets, then buried his head in his arms.
“you shouldn't have bought me those roses.” he whispered
Dominick let one tear slip, as he scooted forward
“No, no, no.. don’t think that way.”
“You shouldn't have!” Andy let out a shaky kick in Dominick's direction.
The calmer boy caught the foot, and held on to it.
“Don’t blame yourself.”
He caught another shaky kick.
“If you weren't with me, you wouldn't get hurt!”
At this, Dominick glared and yanked both of the boys legs, pulling him onto his lap.
the boy fought for a moment, then gave up, collapsing on Dominick's shoulders, still sobbing.
“You idiot! If it weren't for me.. if you hadn't fallen for me...”
“then what?” Dominick asked pulling the boy upright, clutching a hand and a cheek.
“You told me. The day you asked me to take you, you said. Courage is not the absence of fear, but knowing there is something more important than fear.”
He looked deep into Andy’s blue eyes
“ You. You are more important to me than any fear i could ever imagine, any end i could ever meet, would be worth risking for you. I know you are scared. I am too. “
He let his tears come down.
“But we can be scared together, and we can be courageous together. and we can go through everything. together. You and me. we can do anything, go anywhere, face any odds. Cause we know its okay to be afraid. as long as we are both there. its okay. it’s all okay. nothing, no fear, no person, no law, no truth, no lie, no wound, nothing. nothing could make me turn from you. and i don’t doubt it for a second. And i don’t think you do either.”
Andy stopped whimpering, and the tears slowed, but was still shaking.
“breathe.” Dominick said quietly.  
Andy took a deep breath and exhaled, then looked back at him.
“together.” he whispered
“together.” Dominick smiled
He pulled Andy’s face slowly up to his, giving both of them comfort. Andy’s tense shoulders dropped, and the shaking stopped. The pain from Dominick's burns faded and his own tears stopped. He held Andy tight and felt all their stress, panic and fear disappear into this one, simple, kiss. they slowly parted and stared at each other for a few moments, before Andy leaned into Dominick again, and let all the nights cares and worries fade into the darkness. He quietly clapped his hands to turn the light back off. He muttered against Dominicks lips,in almost a whisper
“Prince..”
Then they both let themselves slip into a warm kind of love, the kind of love, to make everything else fade. .
Something I wrote at like 1 am, partially for a friend who is having a rough time getting a good boyfriend. I actually almost cried writing this, especially if you listen to John Lennon's "Love" while reading. Dominick and Andy are two special characters of mine, and i might do more of them in the future
Thank you for the favs!
