What If?// WDW BxB: Corbyn-Shots

Protective (Part Three): Darbyn- Fluff

Summary: Daniel decides to meet Jack and give him a chance

Daniel's POV
He stared at the painted wood of Corbyn's door, sighing when he heard the choked sobs coming from the other side. He raised his fist, knocking softly.

" Corbs?" He called," go away!" The smaller whimpered, voice muffled by what Daniel assumed was a pillow.

" Corbyn... baby, please open the door. I'm sorry," the older pleaded, pressing his forehead against the cut wood.

" No! I don't wanna look at you," he forced himself to ignore the way those simple words made his heart ache. He twisted the knob, only to find it locked.

" Fine, then... just listen to what I have to say. Please?" When he received silence he took it as an invitation to speak." I-I... I know what I did hurt you. And I'm so, so, so sorry. You know how much I hate making you cry. I should've listened to you. I never should've assumed Jack was only with you because you were a virgin. I... I... I was stupid, okay? What is said was stupid, what I did was stupid. I never should've grabbed you like that. I shouldn't have spoken to you the way I did. Corbyn... baby, I love you. I love you more than anything else in this world. And... sometimes love makes you do stupid things. Love makes you protective, love makes me wanna keep you safe. It makes me wanna see you happy and make you smile. I didn't do that tonight and I'm sorry for that. I understand if you don't forgive me right away. Or if you have a grudge against me, but... I wanna meet him. I'll give him a chance." He admitted, closing his eyes.

" Just... please open the door," Daniel whispered, he heard soft footsteps before the lock clicked. And the door was opened, revealing a puffy eyed Corbyn. He sniffed, wiping away a few tears.

" You really mean that?" He met his ocean pools hesitantly. Biting down on his swollen bottom lip. Daniel lifted his thumb, pulling the plump appendage from between white fangs," every word." The older promised, a small smile curling up the corners of his mouth. He fell against Daniel's chest, nuzzling his face against it.

" I'm tired, Dani. Crying is a lot of work," he whined, melting against him when his brother wrapped his arms around his small waist.

" Let's get you to bed then. We can call Jack tomorrow and agree to meet somewhere." He picked Corbyn up and carried him to his bed, laying him down before getting in beside him. The younger yawned, grinning up at him.

" I love you, D. I love you so much," the blonde hid his face into he crook of his neck. Kissing his collar bone.

" I love you more, baby." Daniel pressed his lips to the crown of Corbyn's head. Looking to the clock, 3:46 am, glared back at him. He shut his eyes, letting the other's gentle breathing lull him to sleep.

" Why are you nervous?" Daniel chuckled, hugging his brother from behind.

" I just... I really want this to go right." The bleached blonde leaned back into him. Feeling lips against the back of his head." If anyone should be nervous it should be him. I'm going to love you regardless of what happens." The older placed his head on Corbyn's. The younger playing with his fingers.

" You ready to go?" The 20 year old wondered." Yeah, let's go."

~ At The Restaurant ~

They didn't go anywhere fancy, just a cute little diner. When the brothers arrived Jack was already there, sitting at a booth with a cup of water. Daniel studied him, eyes drawn to the mess of curls atop his head.

He stood when Corbyn called his name and he wasn't as big as expected. He basically towered over Corbyn, but he barely came past Daniel's lip. The couple hugged, the oldest whispering something with a smirk. His little brother rolled his eyes and pressed their lips together for a short, simple kiss. The frost blonde returned to the brunette's side. Who wrapped a protective arm around his waist.

" I'm Jack Avery," he introduced, meeting Daniel's eyes with an unwavering milk chocolate stare.

" Daniel Besson," the younger responded, looking him up and down. They sat down with Jack on one side and the siblings on the other. The second oldest folded his hands together.

" How old are you?" He started," 24," the young adult answered with ease.

" When's your birthday?"

" July 1st, 1995." He leaned back into his chair, gaze drifting over to Corbyn. Who was watching his brother.

" Did you go to college?" One of Daniel's arms disappeared below the table. The smallest getting pulled into his side." Yeah, but I didn't really know what I wanted to do so I just got a basic degree." He shrugged, Corbyn nuzzling his head into the side of his neck. Jack bit his lip, his stomach beginning to burn.

" What college?" The curly-haired male barely heard him.

" Susquehanna University." Daniel continued his interrogation for quite sometime. Asking the basic questions. He didn't like how Jack's eyes stayed on Corbyn.

" Dani, I'm going to restroom," the small blonde informed, sliding across his lap," okay." Both watched him until he turned the corner.

" Tell me the truth. Do you really love him or are you only with him for sex?" Ocean pools flicked over to him, his face serious.

" More than anything. And we haven't had sex yet, not until he's ready." Daniel felt relief wash over him. His baby was still a virgin." Corbs has told me a lot about you, you know."

" Really?" The brunette couldn't help the smile that curved his lips.

" Yeah, he goes on and on about you. He really loves you." Daniel felt his face soften." And I love him." He said more to himself than Jack.

" Now you tell me the truth. Are you gonna let me stay with him?" His mind flashed back to a few nights ago. His stomach tying itself into knots at the thought of seeing him like that again.

" Yeah." Jack's face visibly lit up.

" Really?" He smiled," yes, but if you break his heart I'm snapping your neck, burning your corpse and throwing the ashes into Mt. Fuji." He promised, brown orbs widening slightly.

" Damn, that's quite the threat." He chuckled, hoping to hide his fear.

" It wasn't a threat," Jack swallowed hard." Why are you looking at him like that?" Corbyn giggled, climbing back over Daniel and taking his spot. Jack looked to him, grateful for the distraction.

" I was just telling Jack what I'd do if he broke your heart." The middle-child explained." So... does that mean we can still date?" The young blonde asked, icey-blue pools sparkling with hope.

" Yeah," Daniel nodded, smiling when Corbyn basically threw himself at him.

" Thankyouthankyouthankyou." He buried his face into the crook of Daniel's neck. His big brother chuckling as he wrapped his arms around him.

" I love you so much, Dani. Thank you." He kissed his neck." I love you more, baby."
