Chapter Four.

Danny and Julian rode home in silence. Danny was still shaking like a leaf and Julian was quietly smoldering in anger beside him, gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles were white and threatening to pop out of his skin. 

"Jules, babe?" Danny whispered, gently touching Julian's arm when they pulled into their driveway. 

"Not now." Julian jerked away from Danny's touch, folding his arms tightly across his chest before snapping, "Go inside."

"S-sorry," Danny stuttered, quickly getting out of the car.

Feeling overwhelmed, Danny decided to take a quick shower. He thought it would relax him, but it didn't. If anything, he felt more tense than before. 

Danny walked towards the stairs just as Julian nearly put his fist through Shayla's bedroom wall, more than once. "Julian, Jules, babe, stop!" Danny ran over to his husband. "Jules!" It was a struggle but Danny finally got Julian to stop hitting the wall. "C'mere, c'mere. I'm right here."

"I can't do this," Julian cried into Danny's chest, "I thought I could be strong for you but I can't do it, I fucking can't!" They sunk to the floor, Danny against the wall and Julian clinging onto him for dear life. "I d-didn't want t-to say anything but no one has asked me if I'm okay except for you, my own parents d-didn't even ask! I don't mean to be over dramatic, I'm sorry..."

"Baby..." Danny sighed.

"Fuck, you were there, you were with her and I wasn't even--" Julian coughed harshly, "Danny, I yelled at her... I was so stressed out and I yelled at her and now she's gone... And I fucked up her wall."

"Honey, she's kinda dead, I don't think she'll notice the wall," Danny smiled a little bit.

"Baby, you're not supposed to say that," Julian cried, "You're so stupid."

"Okay, okay, sorry," Danny rubbed his husbands back, "Do you want to go watch a movie?" Julian nodded. "You need to stand up, hun. If you don't get up, I can't get up."

"I don't want to get up."

"Okay, babe, we don't have to." Danny turned on Shayla's small Barbie TV. "Our options are My Little Pony or The Little Mermaid."

"The Little Mermaid, just because I know Ursula freaks you out."

"Dick," Danny shook his head, "We'll be okay, babe. We'll figure it out... We always do." Julian nodded, "If we can get through my mothers cooking, I'm sure we'll be fine."

"I love you."
