Robin and Jaeden lay in Robin's bed that next night, needing to get away from the stress of watching Finney break a hole in the concrete wall all night Iong. It was enough seeing Gwen looking for him and watching Ms. Arellano sob all day, so just laying in that comforting bed for one night was like their therapy. Therapy beyond the grave, if you will.

Robin lay his head on Jaeden's stomach, Jaeden with his fingers combing through the Arellano boy's hair. Some soft music played in the background, as Ms. Arellano wasn't home and the boys didn't want her to feel as if she was haunted by her dead son and his now boyfriend. Robin had his arms wrapped around Jaeden's torso, clinging onto him like a koala. Jaeden was half asleep, feeling a warmth grow inside his cold body as he was embraced by the darker skinned boy.

Their wounds didn't hurt much anymore, physically. It only hurt to look at the damage, they all felt numb now like nothing had happened. Jaeden was terrified of his own appearance, and sometimes it caught him so off guard as he felt he was still a living being he'd have a panic attack. Robin would always be there to comfort him and remind him he was okay now, and basically shield the boy from the world around them.

Jaeden still in the meantime awaited his revenge, he wanted to scream at their murderer, say what came from the inside. Robin could see the curly haired boy was making some sort of plan in his head, he didn't know what but he knew it had to do with revenge. Robin also thought alike in some manner, shit, he watched Jaeden die right in front of him. Both boys knew the pain caused by their kidnapper and needed to just let that anger and sadness out on the man.

Jaeden was now asleep, his fingers still in Robin's hair, the boy still awake as he continued resting his arms around the boy. The two were like some strong ass magnets, you couldn't pull them apart, they'd stick together any day. They'd do anything and everything together and for each other, it was more than a boyfriend's perspective, more like a best friend's. Robin looks up at the now sleeping Jaeden, hearts forming in his eyes for the curly haired teen.

Robin feels butterflies swarm his stomach, this boy was the boy of his dreams, he was everything Robin could ever ask for. Even if Jaeden didn't look the same the night they helped Finney and Gwen go out to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre or the countless times they'd bicker about not understanding each other's foreign languages. He still loved the curly haired boy whether or not he was dead or alive.

Robin pulls a grey blanket from the foot of the bed, using his right hand only to cover himself up to his shoulders and half of his pillow's body. Robin lays his arm on top of Jaeden's chest, resting his hand on the curly haired boy's shoulder. Jaeden groans, waking up and looking down at Robin, scooching up on the bed so his back rested on the pillows.

"Hm?"

"Sorry. Didn't mean to wake you up"

"It's fine"

Jaeden pulls Robin up to his level, his left hand rested on Robin's right cheek as the two stared at each other. Robin smiles, the smile that Jaeden would call him a dork for. Jaeden lightly chuckles, leaning in as Robin does the same. Pulling away, Jaeden pulls Robin into a hug, digging his face in his chest.

"You okay?" Robin asks with a tired sound in his throat, hearing the small sobs being emitted into his chest.

Jaeden nods, looking up, tears pricking his eyes again as he thanks Robin, digging his face into his chest again. Robin just rubs the boy's back, wrapping his arms around him to comfort him. Jaeden wraps his arms around Robin's neck, looking back up.

"I love you. I really, really do"

"Love you too, dork"
