[CLOSED] taking on water.

He picked him up gently, carrying him inside. "Yeah, but we can always just go to a doctor for that. The physician's plaza has all our lab departments there, so you won't have to go in the hospital for all that." He laid him down on the sofa, then kissed him gently. "Why don't you go shower, and I'll go put new sheets on the bed." He suggested, having been meaning to wash the bed sheets for awhile.

"In the closet, the clothes to the far left are the smallest." He said, then walked to the laundry room, grabbing a new set of sheets and pillow cases.

Connor smiled in amusement as deacon picked him up, sprawling lazily on the sofa and rubbing the last of his tears away. "Alright," He mumbled, getting up. He headed for the closet and grabbed clothes that would hopefully fit him well enough, sauntering towards the bathroom.

The door closed and he pulled off his bottoms again, turning on the shower and heating up. Sudden realization struck, his drug filled backpack still lying in the living room. He gazed down at slightly trembling hands, had no urge to cut or hurt himself, had actually forgotten about his addictions for the first time in awhile.

Deacon trudged back upstairs, changing the bed sheets and pillow cases. He carried the dirty sheets downstairs, tossing them into the laundry room. Then he picked Bandit up, carrying her up to her bedroom. He laid her down in her crib, pulling her blanket over her. He walked out of her room, then back downstairs, flopping down on the sofa. He couldn't help but think about how happy he was, how lucky he was to have Connor.

He slinked down on the sofa, closing his eyes.

Connor stepped out of the shower, toweling off and pulling on the clothes, ruffling his hair in the towel in an attempt to dry it off. He put his piercings back in, running a hand through his hair to try and tame it, and left the bathroom behind, realizing he had left his phone downstairs as well.

Yawning, he padded back into the living room, gazing over at Deacon with a faint smile, dropping down beside him. He glanced at his phone, frowning in disbelief. Fifty nine alerts. Ten of which were voice mails and missed calls.

"You smell good." He said, not opening his eyes. He propped his feet up on the coffee table, then looked over at Connor. He wrapped an arm around him, rubbing his side gently.

"Bandit is upstairs sleeping if you want to go to bed.. I'm probably gonna take a shower, then head to bed too. I got work tomorrow." He said with a yawn, trailing his fingers up and down Connor's sides. He pulled him close, kissing him softly. "You wanna stay here and watch Bandit, or the two of you go over to Dallas' house and play with Christy?"

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor set his phone back down after a moment, smiling and nestling up close. He kissed Deacon back gently, shrugged. "Ei-either way," He breathed softly. He would be happy with whatever. "Am I-I sleeping with you tin-night..?" He questioned, planting a kiss on Deacon's jaw with another smile.

He didn't think twice about with problems with sleeping, because it wasn't something currently on his mind.

[deacon reid rudman]

Deacon smiled, nodding his head. "Yes, you're sleeping with me. Otherwise I would be really, really sad." He said, kissing him softly before going upstairs and grabbing a pair of boxers. He walked into the bathroom and took a quick, hot shower.

When he got out, he pulled on his boxers, then walked out of the bathroom, rubbing his head with the towel. He looked down, and peeled the plastic off of his tattoo. He crumpled it up, and tossed it in the trash. He stood at the head of the stairs, looking down at Connor.

"Coming to bed, baby?" He asked, still trying to dry his hair.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor grinned, watching him get up to take a shower.

He was sprawled lazily on the sofa, a hand draped over his stomach, and glanced up at Deacon's words. Standing, he stumbled faintly and scowled, eyeing his phone before deciding to leave it down here with his backpack. He made his way for the stairs, ruffled the towel on Deacon's head before heading up the staircase andinto the bedroom, dropping onto the bed.

[deacon reid rudman]

Deacon laughed and followed him up the stairs. He tossed the towel in the bathroom hamper, then climbed into bed behind Connor, grabbing him by the lips and pulling him to the edge of the bed, kissing the back of his neck before flipping him over and kissing him deeply.

"Hey." He smiled, kissing the corner of his mouth, then his jaw. He wrapped his arms around his waist, leaning down and hugging him tightly.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor laughed as his neck was kissed, meeting the kiss on the lips as he was rolled over. He smiled as he was hugged, burying his face and pulling the blankets over them with another husky laugh. He rubbed at Deacon's side, kissing his cheek, then his chest. "Hi," He huffed in playfully return, kissing him on the lips. "Oh yeah..."

He removed any piercings, reaching from under the bla ket to set them on the nightstand, kissed him again.
