jake's pov:

i lay my head down on my pillow, staring at the ceiling. a knock sounds from downstairs. i frown to myself. it's 11pm, why would anyone be at my door?

i sigh heavily and get up, trudging downstairs in my tank top and basketball shorts. i open the door, being met with the short frame of my boyfriend, rich, and i instantly worry about him.

he's shivering and stood in the pouring rain without a coat, and he's hugging himself tightly as he blinks back tears.

i immediately grab his waist and pull him inside, holding him with one arm as i shut the door, then both of my arms wrap around him. i run my hands up and down his body to try and warm him up, as he's only in cargos and a t-shirt.

"jesus, rich. are you okay? i- what happened?" i question him, but he doesn't reply, just buries his head further into my chest as his arms snake around my torso, gripping me tight.

i rub his hair gently with one of my hands.
"how about i take you upstairs and get you some warmer clothes, then we discuss what's up, yeah?" i suggest in a soft tone, one that i only ever use with rich. he nods his head, arms moving up to around my shoulders as i lift him up, his legs wrapping around my waist.

i carry him upstairs, placing him down on my bed as i go to fetch him some of my comfy clothes. i settle on a pair of sweatpants as well as rich's favourite one of my hoodies. i bring them to him and stand in between his legs, and he doesn't look at me.

"do you want me to change you?" i offer, and he nods and i gently tug at the hem of his shirt, and he lets me take it off. i notice quite a few bruises on him but keep quiet, slipping my hoodie on his gorgeous body. i do the same for the sweatpants.

i sit down on my bed beside him, and he leans his head against my side as i wrap an arm around him, making sure he knows he's safe.

"so, do you wanna tell me what's going on, sweetheart?" i ask in a soft voice, and he puts his legs up on my lap, his arms around my shoulders. he presses his face against my chest.

"..kinda." he mumbles, and i use one hand to rub his back, the other rubbing his leg. i smile at the fact that he feels comfortable enough to open up to me.
"i'm all ears, my love." i tell him.

he takes a breath, before beginning to speak quietly.
"i uhm..i gueth it kinda thtarted when i got home from rehearthal.? uhm, my dad wath already wathted, and- and i-i got in the door and he thtarted yelling at me, a-and y'know, he uh- got- got a lighter.? h-he turned it on and put it in front of my fathe, and- and he wath kind of like, i-interrogating me- and he wouldn't thtop..and uh, m-my brother came home to me crying in my room and h-he got mad at my dad, tho- tho he threatened him with a-a knife, and my dad h-hit him tho many timethes..a-and then he told me to run o-or he'd k-kill me.."

that was a lot.

rich rubs his eyes frantically and i grab his wrists to stop him. i don't like the fact that he feels like he can't cry. he thinks it makes you weak.

"if you need to cry, please do so. you can do whatever around me, rich. and thank you so much for telling me that. i'm so proud of you and i'm so sorry you have to deal with that. you're welcome here anytime, you know that right?"

he stares at me blankly for a second.
"baby?"
he bursts into tears and grips me tighter than i think he ever has, and i just hold him and tell him that it's alright.

"i-i'm thorry-" he chokes out, and i shush him, rocking us gently back and forth, trying to soothe him.
"you don't need to apologise anymore, my love. you're with me now. no more hurting when jakey d's around."

rich ends up crying himself to sleep. i don't like it when my boyfriend is stressed. i truthfully want him to move in with me. i want him out of that house, away from that monster that he calls a father.

i lift rich fully into my lap and lay on my back, him on top of me. i reach and pull the covers over us, holding him protectively.
"night, rich. i love you so much."

i kind of like this one but also kind of don't, so let me know what you think please-

if you'd like to request a ship/oneshot then please feel free to do so! :)
