Finn awoke with a scream, hand clutching at his sweat-soaked shirt. He gasped as tears streamed quickly down his face and down past his chin, heading near his heart which beat quickly, echoing through his ears. His bedroom door was slammed open, banging against the wall behind it loudly. Finn covered his ears, shutting his eyes tightly as if that would help calm himself down.

The blonde came over to his side quickly, stroking a hand through his hair as he shushed him softly. Finn cried as he rocked back and forth, body heaving as the contents of his prior nightmare passed through his mind. Vance pulled him close to his chest, still stroking his hair with a gentle hand.

"Don't worry Finn, he won't ever hurt you again. Your sister is okay. She lives with Donna, remember? You're here with me. I'll keep you safe."

Finn turned his head so it laid upon the blonde's heart. He sniffled, sobs reducing slowly. Vance hugged him close, humming a soft lullaby to soothe him. Finn's eyes grew heavy once more and he felt himself drifting off. He fell asleep with a smile, glad he was with a friend who'd keep him safe in his embrace.

Rain trickled down the windows of a minivan, fogging them up in the slightest bit. In the passenger seat, Robin scrolled through his boyfriend's social media page, smiling at the different poses the boy did in his pictures.

"Ew, you guys are so lame."
"Shut up. You and Bruce aren't any better."

Robin felt a strong kick to the back of his seat, laughing loudly at the boy behind him who held a frown. Vance glared at him, making him shut up with his hands held in a surrendering position.

"Just stating the facts. Speaking of my boyfriend, here he comes."

Vance rolled his eyes, pressing the button on the side of his door to lower his window. He stuck his head outside, squinting as raindrops hit his eyelids.

"Took you long enough."

Finn rolled his eyes, clutching his jacket closer into him.

"You're the reason I woke up late shitface."

Vance laughed, rolling his window back up and unlocking the car door for the boy outside. Finn happily climbed in, taking his place next to Bruce and cuddling into his side.

"Ew, get off of me you're soaked."

Finn frowned at the comment, sliding his jacket off and once again cuddling into his friend. This time, Bruce allowed him to do so.

"You're starting to sound like Vance. It's bad enough I live with him-"

Vance shot him a look, cocking up an eyebrow. Finn quieted down, smiling at the blonde instead. Vance smiled as well.

"You guys are weird.."

Bruce kicked Robin's seat once again, telling him to 'shut the fuck up' before the minivan started to make its way down the road.

Vance took a drink from the milkshake his boyfriend handed to him, immediately frowning at the taste.

"The fuck is in this?"

Robin emerged from behind Bruce, a shit-eating grin on his face. Vance looked between the two, a worried look on his face. Looking back at the milkshake he'd been handed, he reeled back in disgust. There was three types of crushed up bugs in at, as well as what looked like a toenail.

Robin bolted from the booth quickly, screaming as the blonde chased him throughout the diner and out the door.

Finn looked at Bruce, a smile playing on his lips.

"Now which one of you actually put that shit in there?"

Bruce's eyes looked anywhere but at Finn's.

"I just thought he'd-"
"Bruce Yamada. You what?"

Bruce looked in horror at his boyfriend who was now standing in front of him. He shot Finn a glare, close to tears when the boy shrugged in response.

"Let's go Bruce. It's time."

Bruce screamed as he was picked up and taken out of the diner, crying as Finn smiled at him warmly.

The four boys ran through the halls of the school, laughing loudly as a group of teachers ran close behind.

"Guys! They're getting closer!"
"No shit Bruce! Fucking run!"
"What do you think I'm doing dumbass!"

Robin and Finn laughed at the two, grinning as they locked eyes. The sound of keys jingling close by made the group speed up anymore, sighing in relief when the doors to the school came into view.

"HURRY UP AND RUN TO THE CAR! THEY'RE GAINING ON US!"

The four boys crashed through the doors and bolted towards Vance's car, laughing in relief as they sat down inside of it and the blonde locked the vehicle doors.

"And that's why we cannot trust Finn to get a fucking roll of toilet paper."
"I said I was sorry!"
