Shark Teeth (Jean Hobbs)

Chapter 31

Dean's POV

It's been almost a month since Daniel went to rehab.

He hates that place. I know he does.

We'd visited almost every day, to try and show him how much love and support he has, but eventually he just told us to stop coming, and that he needed to get through it by himself.

After a lot of arguing, we reluctantly agreed that we'd only come back when he could come home.

That was almost two weeks ago, but it feels like I haven't seen him in years...

But today was finally the day that he could come home.

"You okay?" Jack smiled as he carried on driving.

"Yeah." I smiled back, leaning over and kissing him on the cheek.

We were silent for a moment before I spoke again.

"Jack?"

"Hm?"

"I've been thinking... Can- I mean- Is-" I blushed furiously.

"What's wrong Deano? You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"Do you remember a while ago, when Dan was in hospital and we tried to... You know..." I said awkwardly.

Jack thought for a second before replying.

"Yeah?"

"I was thinking, I mean if you want to, could we maybe try again?"

I could feel my cheeks turning redder and redder by the second.

Jack glanced at me for a second before focusing on the road again.

"Dean, are you sure? I don't want to do anything you're uncomfortable with..."

"I'm sure. I have to get over it eventually."

"Only if you're 100% sure..." Jack said, quickly leaning over and kissing me.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

As we pulled into the car park of the rehab centre, I felt a grin spread across my face.

I can finally see Daniel again!

After spending what felt like centuries walking along the corridors, we eventually arrived outside Daniel's room.

Without hesitation, I knocked on the door.

"Come in!" He shouted from inside.

I shoved the door open to see him sat on his bed, with another man sat opposite him.

"Dan!" I smiled happily, running over and hugging him.

"Hey Dean." He giggled in response, hugging him back.

I eventually pulled away to see the man opposite him glaring at me.

"Oh, right! Oliver, this is my brother Dean and his boyfriend Jack."

Oliver stopped glaring at me, instead he smiled warmly and shook my hand.
