Theo sat not in his own armchair. He sat in Reed's father's chair. His eyes were staring wordlessly at a comic book but not really seeing it. He had been looking at the same page for an eternity.
It seemed like Reed had been gone forever. Even with Winnie bouncing all over the place, making all sort of Winnie noise , it seemed very quiet without Reed. God , he missed him.
Winnie stood next to him. He placed a delicate beringed hand on Theo's shoulder. " I'm going to listen to music in my room. Is there anything you need? "
Theo shook his head.
Yes , his mind screamed. I need Reed !
Winnie smiled sweetly. " He'll be back soon. You know that. He adores you. " Then he surprised Theo by pressing a gentle kiss on top of his head. " So do I. I wish you were my father. Call if you need me. "
Then he skipped merrily to his room. Leaving Theo alone in complete silence. Until the front door opened. Reed stepped inside and closed it behind him. They looked at each other silently.
" I'm sorry, darling" Reed said just as Theo said," Please forgive me. "
Reed reached out and grabbed Theo. He held Theo close.
" I love you, Theo. "
" I love you, Reed. "
" I don't want to lose you. "
" I know. "
" Theo ? "
" Yes , sweetie? "
" You don't like jelly beans, do you? "
