Blake grabs his clothes and knocks on Tristan's door. Tristan asks him to sit on the bed beside him. They will have a talk. Tristan(T) and Blake(B).
(T) I know this may not be fun. I am only doing it to help you. I think you got a cold from last night.
(B) I understand, Eli helped me before. Every time I would get sick, he would help me shower, eat, use the bathroom. He would even sleep with me. Then he would get sick, and I would help him.
(T) You are ok if I help?
(B) Yeah, I am sorry I got sick.
(T) You have nothing to be sorry about. I know you don't feel well. I am just going to help. Then we can sleep and see how you feel in the morning. Does that sound like a plan baby?
(B) Yeah.
(T) I am sorry I called you that. Is it ok if I call you that. I call Gabe baby or baby boy all the time. I am not being rude. I just view you both as my babies. I will do my best to make sure you feel love, protected, and safe.
(B) It's fine. I like it. Eli would call me his little baby sometimes. He always meant it with love.
(T) I do too.
(B) I know.
(T) Ok, my clothes are on the counter in there. Can we go ahead and shower?
(B) Yeah.
They walk in the bathroom and Tristan closes and locks the door. He looks at Blake.
(T) Are you ready?
(B) Yeah.
Tristan turns the water on warm. He then takes his clothes off. Blake takes his clothes off and they hop in the shower. Tristan starts helping Blake wash. Blake and he are talking the whole time. He is trying to make Blake feel as comfortable as possible. They get to the front area and Blake is at attention. Tristan says he is too, and he washes everything. He helps Blake finish up and he takes his shower. Tristan asks Blake a few questions.
(T) Did you find out anything?
(B) Does Emily smoke?
(T) She does.
(B) Gabe has a burn mark on his left butt cheek. I put some ointment and a band aid on it two nights ago. I assume that is why he didn't want you to help him shower.
(T) You are sure?
(B) I saw it. It is a burn mark.
(T) I will have to check.
(B) You are going to tell him I told you.
(T) No, I am going to wait till he is asleep. I will pull his boxers down and check. I will take a picture of it, and I will confront yall in the morning. Can you act surprised?
(B) Yes sir.
(T) Thank you. I am sorry if that was awkward.
(B) It was ok. It felt a little normal. It felt like Eli helping.
Tristan is washing his hair. He turns to face Blake and Blake looks down. He has never seen Tristan without clothes on. Tristan turns back around and turns the water off. They step out and they start drying off. They slide their t-shirts and boxers on. They walk in the room and Gabe is on the bed. He will join the conversation, Gabe(G).
(G) How did it go?
(B) It was ok. Tristan just helped me.
(T) Take your shorts off Gabe. It will be warm with three of us under here.
