Cherry Blossoms

Elliot drives off and to the hotel he's staying out. He parks and gets Jonathan out. He goes inside. "Mr. Johnson..." The receptionist gives him the key and he accepts it. He goes to the elevator and feels Jonathan coming to. "Ugh..."

He feels someone holding him and flutters his eyes open. "How you feeling?" Jonathan looks up and sees the guy smiling at him. Elliot puts him down and Jonathan stays in a corner of the elevator. "W-where are we..." "Going to a hotel room..." Jonathan panics and sinks down.

Elliot sees him breathing very quickly. He sits down with him. "What's wrong?" Jonathan tries to catch his breath. "P-Panic..." Elliot searches for ways to help. He reads the first one. :Really?" Elliot decides to try it. He leans over and kisses him. Jonathan feels lips on his and pulls away.

His breathing slows down and he looks at Elliot. "Why..." "I looked up and that was one of the ways... it takes your mind off of the attack..." The elevator dings and they get up. Elliot grabs Jonathan's hand and leads him to his room. He opens the door and lets Jonathan in. "Wow..."

Elliot shuts the door and Jonathan jumps. "Do you remember me?" Jonathan turns to him and tilts his head. "Not really..." Elliot hugs him and Jonathan feels himself trembling. No... not now... Jonathan feels his eyes watering and he pulls away.

He feels his jeans get wet and his face gets red. He looks at Elliot. "Still not a fan of hugs?" Jonathan's eyes widened. "Elliot..." Elliot smiles. Jonathan feels his jeans still wet and groans. "It's fine..." Elliot goes and grabs a pair of boxers and lounging pants.

"The bathroom's over there..." Jonathan nods and goes there. He changes and leaves. "You did the same thing when you were about four I think..." Jonathan smiles. "How's Mr and Mrs Johnson?" Elliot smiles. "They divorced and and I lived with mom.

They passed away about three years ago..." Jonathan nods and doesn't see any bed. "We sleeping here tonight?" Elliot nods. "Where's the bed?" "In there..." "Only one?" "Well, I wasn't expecting to see you..." Jonathan looks away and heads there. Elliot watches. "Tired?" Jonathan nods. "Yeah..."

Elliot watches as Jonathan heads to the bedroom. "I'll sleep on the couch..." Jonathan stops. "W-we can share..." Elliot looks at him and smiles. "Would you be okay with that?" Jonathan hesitates but nods. Elliot gets up and goes over to him.

"You don't need to be okay with anything you're not..." Jonathan looks at him. "I-I'm okay with it..." Jonathan looks at him. Elliot smiles "Okay... wanna take a shower before bed?" Jonathan shakes his head. "No..." Elliot nods and places a hand on his shoulder.

"You can do whatever you want to, I'm heading to the shower..." Elliot heads of and Jonathan looks around the hotel. He sighs and takes his wallet out "It can't be..." He goes to the bathroom door and knocks. "Yeah?" "I need to use the bathroom..." "Well, we're both guys, no need to be embarrassed..." Jonathan goes to open the door but walks away.

He heads to the bedroom and lays down. He sighs and closes his eyes. He hears the door open and the bed moves. He feels a blanket over him. He turns around so his back faces Elliot. "I've missed you so much... after they said they found family members... I cried and screamed after..."
