Jared Kleinman - Third

Jared noticed the way Evan pushed at his skin.

Jared noticed the way Evan winced.

Jared noticed the way Evan froze at his question.

No...

"Evan...?" The brunet asked again as Evan had gone silent. "Are you okay?"

Jared's voice wavered with concern.

Evan nodded. "Yeah, I, uh- I'm fine." But he was shaking.

"Ev, you don't have to tell me, okay?" Jared was careful with his words, his tone soft. The blond nodded again, this time with tears brimming at the corners of his eyes. "I just worry for you, okay?"

Evan looked down. He was grateful to have Jared caring about him, but he still had trouble believing it.

Jared moved towards Evan, wrapping his arms around him in a hug.

"It's okay, Ev. You're okay." Tears started to fall from Evans eyes, dancing down smooth skin and pale cheeks.

"Thank you..."

After a few minutes of silence, Evan looked up. "If... if I tell you, will you promise to stay...?"

Jared looked back at Evan, smiling when the blond held his pinky finger up; Jared though the childish action was cute.

"I promise." And with that, he laced his pinky with Evans.
