Tender (Sean/White)

Author's note: Part 32/?? Of Sean/White doctor story.

He was scared, terrified, clinging to Sean like a baby koala. Black's voice was shouting from the phone, but he couldn't figure out what he was saying. The device slipped out of his grip, and he barely registered Dan talking into it. 

The warmth of Sean's body and his long arms tenderly caressing his back calmed him. 

"It's okay. He's not here anymore. He can't hurt you." Sean whispered, tightening the embrace. White's emotions were all over the place, and even though Sean's presence was comforting, he needed his brother too. 

"I want Black." White hiccuped. 

"Black is on his way here." Dan patted White's head. 

"We need to move somewhere else. We are getting too much attention." He added as he looked around. There were not many patients now, but the ones occupying chairs in the lobby were eyeing them suspiciously. 

"Come with me." Nuch's voice startled them. The head of the clinic led them further into the building. White was reluctant to move. But he knew it was best to disappear from the curious looks. The room Nuch offered was a resting area for the personnel with a small sofa, table and kitchen counter. As soon as Sean settled them on the mattress, White glued himself to his side. He let the older male sneak his arms around his waist and buried his head into his chest. The terrible feeling from Tod's visit still lingered in him, and he was sure his brother's presence was the only way to get rid of it. 

"White, can you tell me who it was? Do you know him?" Sean tried to get information out of him, but White didn't feel like talking.

"His name is Tod," Dan spoke. 

"He owns some illegal businesses. We are looking into him too. But Tawi is more important to us for now." He finished. 

"I think Black knows him." Yok joined the conversation. 

"I heard the name once when he was talking with Gumpa." He shrugged. 

"I need to go back. Stay here as long as you need. White, you can level for today. Call me if you feel like coming back to work tomorrow." Nuch smiled at him. White nodded in silent agreement. The head of the clinic was so understanding and kind to him. White felt guilty for making it hard for her. 

"Thank you." He whispered from his hiding spot on Sean's chest. Nuch chuckled, shaking her head before disappearing from the room. There was a peaceful silence when the door suddenly burst open, revealing heavy breathing and worried Black. White's head snapped towards him. The tears which stopped not long ago threatened to spill from his eyes again. His brother hurried to him, plopping on the small furniture before he pulled White onto his lap. 

"P'Black." White cried out, hugging his twin as if his life depended on it. 

"It's okay. P'Black is here. Don't cry." Black was rocking them back and forth.

"He called me honey." White couldn't help himself. He needed to say it to his brother. Only he knew how much this word affected him. They were only eleven when Tod started to call him by this nickname. At first, he didn't make anything out of it, but a year later, he found the meaning behind it wasn't all that innocent. 

"I am going to kill him, burn his body and dump his ash into the sea," Black growled as he tightened his grip on his waist.
