Mikey covered his face, sobbing into his hands. His son whimpered and reached out his arms.

Butcher opened the door and closed it behind himself quietly. He walked over to his lover and put his arms around him, giving Nils a kiss on top of his head.

"I can't face him..." Mikey whispered. "I can't face him, and I know he's William's son, but..." I just can't.

"It's okay," Butcher rubbed his back. "I'm sure he understands."

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 11:52 am

Mikey leant his head on Butcher's shoulder with a sigh.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 11:56 am

"He's not going to hurt you again," Butcher moved his hand up and down Mikey's back under the wings.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 11:57 am

"How do you know?" Mikey whispered, shivering.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:04 pm

"He'd have to go through me first and hopefully you'd have a chance to fly away," Butcher shrugged at the morbid thought. "William wouldn't like it if he did."

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:13 pm

Mikey almost smiled. "True."

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:18 pm

"Calm?" Butcher put his nose in Mikey's hair.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:20 pm

"Better." No more tears fell.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:33 pm

"Lovely," Butcher said with an accent and smiled.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Mon Oct 01, 2007 2:22 pm

Mikey giggled and wiped his eyes. "I... I'm gonna go down. Try again. You stay here and get some rest. Nick's there. He won't let anything happen to me." He picked up Nils and wandered down the stairs.

Butcher laid down to take a nap when Mikey didn't run back immediately. Everything seemed fine so he smiled as he closed his eyes.

"Ssh!" Mikey scolded. "Don't wake him!"

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:30 am

"Mikey," Butcher smiled and mumbled in his sleep.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:30 am

Mikey sat down on the corner of the bed and watched.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:32 am

"No, that's not... uh..." Butcher shifted into a more comfortable position.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:33 am

Nils giggled. Mikey placed a hand over his mouth tenderly.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:36 am

"Mmm," Butcher calmed and slept without making another sound.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:38 am

Mikey smiled again softly.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:40 am

Butcher slept for a little while longer before he stretched and opened his eyes, ready to go find Mikey and see if his lover was okay. "Oh," he was suprised to see who he was looking for looking down at him. "Hi."

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:42 am

"Hey. Sleep well?" Nils grinned at him.

Subject: Re: Brighter than stars Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:44 am

"Yeah," he pulled himself into a sitting position and leaned forward to kiss Mikey.

Mikey parted his lips slightly with another smile.
