Elliot looks at Jonathan. Jonathan looks away and the officer lets them get into the back seat. "I'll be giving you two a ride to the hospital for a full exam and physical..." Jonathan hums in agreement. Elliot looks at the officer. "Why does he need all this?" 

She looks in the mirror at Jonathan and he shakes his head. "Standard procedure..." Elliot nods and they go to the hospital. Jonathan is helped in and is put right into a room. Elliot sits in the room with him. Jonathan sits on the bed and tears rolls down his face. 

"I'm sorry..." Jonathan looks up at Elliot. "W-why?" "I should have taken you with me..." "Y-You didn't know..." There's a knock a doctor comes in. "Hello, I'm Ms. Kailens..." She washes her hands and puts on a pair of gloves. 

She goes over to Jonathan and talks quietly to him. "Hey, I'm guessing your Jonathan..." He nods. "Is this your brother?" Jonathan shakes his head. "H-He's my b-boyfriend..." She smiles. "That's cute..." Jonathan gives her a small smile. 

"Do you want him to stay or wait outside?" Jonathan looks down. "Outside please..." She looks at Elliot. He nods and goes out to the waiting room.

"Okay, now, he doesn't know what happened does he..." Jonathan nods. "He doesn't..." "Okay, can you get into this jonnie and sit on the bed?" "Yeah..." She leaves the room and he changes. "Can I come in?" "Y-Yeah..." "Okay off?" Jonathan nods. "okay..." 

She goes over and brings a large tray over with a bunch of swabs and tubes. "I'm just gonna swab you to get some DNA and then do a rape kit on you..." Jonathan nods. "I t-thought they could o-only be used on g-girls..." 

"I made an exception to this one... you were raped, what's the difference between you being raped and a girl being raped?" Jonathan nods. She swabs under his nails and mouth. She puts them all in a separate tube. "Ready?" Jonathan nods. 

He bends his knees up and waits. "It's gonna be a bit uncomfortable, okay?" "Yeah..." She takes a swab and drags it along the outside of his rim. She tubes it. She swabs the inside of his hole and tubes that as well. "Okay, you can get dressed again..." Jonathan nods. 

She leaves and he gets dressed. She comes back in. "Want me to get your boyfriend?" Jonathan nods. She leaves and goes to the waiting room. "Anyone here for Jonathan?" Elliot stands up. She brings him to the room. "Why did he need this?" 

"I can't disclose that... it's with the police now..." Elliot nods and goes in. Jonathan looks at him. Elliot smiles at him. Jonathan's hair of disheveled, there's dirt on his face, and he has new clothes on. "Can I hug him now?" The doctor nods. Elliot goes over to Jonathan. 

"Johnny..." Jonathan wraps his arms around him and grips onto him. He sobs loudly into Elliot's chest.Elliot hugs him back. the doctor leaves and closes the door. "Johnny, what happened?" Jonathan shakes his head. Elliot holds him close.

After signing papers and leaving, they get back to the hotel. Elliot locks the door. Jonathan stays quiet. "I-I'm gonna go shower..." "Want me to join?" Jonathan shakes his head. He heads to the bathroom and locks the door. Elliot knocks on the door. 

"What do you want to wear?" Jonathan stays quiet for a minute. "Um... a pair of sweatpants and a shirt of yours..." "Okay.." Elliot goes and gets him some clothes and a pair of soft cotton panties. He goes and knocks on the door. "Can I come in?" "Yeah..." 

Elliot goes in and sees Jonathan holding a towel close to him. He sets the clothes down and turns to him. Jonathan just looks down and stares at the floor. "Jonathan..." He looks up and sees Elliot looking at him. "Y-Yeah?" "What happened?" 

Jonathan looks away and feels tears forming. "The only time I've seen you cry like this was when you told me about the adoption center." Jonathan shakes his head. "Don't remind me...." "Tell me what happened..." Jonathan shakes his head. Elliot kneels in front of him. 

"I can't see you hurt like this..." Jonathan looks at him. "C-can I get dressed..." Elliot nods and leaves. Jonathan gets dressed and leaves the bathroom. He sees Elliot on the couch and goes over. Elliot looks and sees Jonathan. 

He opens his arms and Jonathan goes in them. Elliot helps him on his lap and they stay quiet. Jonathan pulls away a little. Elliot looks at him. "What happened..." Jonathan sighs. "Johnny, please, I've never seen you like t-" Jonathan covers his mouth with a hand. 

"I-I was r-raped..." Elliot looks at him. Jonathan doesn't looks at him. Elliot moves Jonathan off him and gets up. "Just... give me a moment..." Jonathan stays silent and watches as Elliot goes to the bedroom. 

He curls up and lets hot, salty tears run down his face. He lays down and covers himself with a little blanket. He wipes his eyes and looks at the bedroom door. He sighs and falls asleep.

Jonathan has a nightmare about his raping and wakes up screaming and crying. "Elliot!" The bedroom door opens and Elliot rushes over to him. Jonathan wraps his arms around him. Elliot calms him down. "P-Please... protect m-me..." 

Elliot tightens his hold and brings him to his lap to hold him closer. "Always..." Jonathan falls asleep on Elliot. Elliot lays him down and makes sure the  everything is locked. He picks Jonathan up and brings him to the bedroom. He lays him down and covers them. 

He lays down and looks at Jonathan. He has a few bruises on his face. Elliot brushes Jonathan's hair away from his eyes and smiles at him. He pulls him close gently. He holds him close and feels him shaking. "No m- more..." Elliot stays quiet. "Please....stop...stop!" 

Elliot sees tears rolling down Elliot's face. "Johnny, wake up..." Jonathan jolts awake and looks around. He sees Elliot and hugs him. Elliot feels terrible and sighs. "How about I take a Hiatus and we go to therapy..." Jonathan looks at him and nods. "We leave tomorrow..." 

Jonathan smiles and kisses him. Elliot kisses back and they go to sleep.
