forty-one

ten slept most of the ride but when he woke up, he almost pissed himself. johnnys seemingly nine year old toyota was in the parking lot of a gas station, the older gone.

with his mind hazy from sleep, ten started crying. it was a wuss move, but was too tired to realized that he wasn't abandoned, only left to sleep while johnny grabbed food for them to eat.

when the car door opened, his entire body jumped and his heart felt like it was going to burst out of his rib cage. it was only johnny, who tossed him a chocolate bar.

once he realized the younger was crying he dropped everything in the back seat and ran to the other side, almost ripping the door off its hinges. "ten, whats wrong?"

"i-i-i thought you were gone and i was by myself," ten said, chocking on his non escaping sobs.

once he calmed down, he saw johnny smiling, almost as if his face was going to split if he did it harder.

"what?"

"you missed me, aww" johnny replied, pinching tens chubby cheeks in between his fingers. "don't worry, i wouldn't leave you." johnny hesitated going back around.

he stayed squatting for a few more seconds before deciding on planting a chaste kiss on the youngers forehead and walking back swiftly.

neither of them decided to address it. just like they decided on not talking about their burning cheeks.
