It's all I'm good for

William moved over to the side, staring at Matt. "Matt!" he said, knowing that he wouldn't be able to climb up there to get him down.

Matt precariously swung around, clinging to the wall with one hand and one foot. His shoes were similar to the ones Mikey wore.

William bit his lip. "Fuck!" he whispered under his breath. "Matt!" he tried again.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:03 am

Matt raised an eyebrow. What?

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:03 am

Mike stood up to watch, worried. He didn't want to act and cause more trouble.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:05 am

What's wrong? I want to help! William was about ready to give up and start climbing.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:06 am

You've already screwed up this case. Matt let himself fall to land on the ground. Focus on not screwing up the next.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:07 am

What do you mean? William's eyes widened slightly.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:12 am

Mike stayed at a safe distance, although William's expression make him want to run to him and hold him in his arms.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:19 am

Matt tossed his hair back and started walking again.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:23 am

William followed him, resting a hand on the boy's shoulder. Matt...

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:24 am

Mike held his breath, unsure of how the man would react.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:25 am

Matt looked up at his father, eyes swimming with tears.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:26 am

William's eyes widened when he saw the tears. He immediately wrapped his arms around the boy, trying to comfort him.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:28 am

Mike ventured a little closer, but didn't want to disturb them.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:30 am

Matt sobbed silently into his shoulder. You won't want me when they're born...

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:31 am

"Oh Matt...." William worried nearly silently. He used one of his hands to rub the boy's back silently. I'm always going to want you. Don't say that... He hugged Matt a little tighter.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:33 am

Mike couldn't hear what was being said, but he could tell what it was about. If he knew how much William cared...

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:36 am

You promise? Matt wiped his eyes.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:37 am

I promise. William looked down at the boy and kissed his forehead. I promise...

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:41 am

Matt wiped away his remaining tears selfconsciously.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:42 am

William smiled at the boy, using his thumb to wipe away a stray tear. He kissed his forehead again.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:43 am

Too much. Matt pulled away, his shoulders drawn. Sorry.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:45 am

William nodded, still smiling although he was hurt a little. Are you okay now? he asked.

Subject: Re: It's all I'm good for Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:46 am

Matt shrugged. I think.
