Symere sat in the passenger seat of Jordan's car. It was clear that the small boy was a nervous wreck.
The way how he would rub his wrists ever so often. The way how he was chewing the insides of his cheeks, were all clear signs of the boy's anxiousness.
Jordan sensed Symere's discomfort. He blew out a short breath before speaking to the boy.
" I'm not gonna hurt you Symere."
Symere looked over at the older man and saw the look of sincerity on his face.
Although Symere barely knew Jordan, he felt like he was being honest.
" I know I'm just nervous because I barely know you and it doesn't help with the fact that I have anxiety "
Jordan nodded in response. " Its ok. I understand. I don't expect you to trust a complete stranger with your life."
Symere chuckled a little bit, feeling a little reassured.
Jordan held out his palm for him to hold. Symere hesitated a little bit before putting his smaller hand in his.
The warmth of Jordan's hand made Symere relax a little. Jordan noticed the slight change in his demeanor and gave symere a small smile.
He returned the small gesture before intertwining their fingers together.
Jordan's smile grew wider as he was now focused on the road. Symere shifted a little getting comfortable in his seat.
He closed his eyes while humming the lyrics to "ain't it fun" by paramore, that was playing softly in the background.
*time ∆ skip*
Jordan pulled up in his driveway. Looking over to his right he saw a sleeping symere.
His mouth was slightly parted and he was snoring lightly. Jordan looked down at their intertwined fingers his heart doing a little dance at the action.
Jordan reluctantly pulled his hand out of Symere's grip. He opened his door then closed it after stepping out of his car. He made his way over to the passenger's side.
Jordan opened the car door and lightly shook Symere's shoulders to wake him up.
At first the younger boy would not budge but after a few more tugging he finally opened his eyes.
"We're here?", symere asked while sitting up in his seat.
" Mhmm, c'mon let's go." Jordan replied. He stretched out his arm to symere to help him get out the jeep.
He slammed the car door shut before he held up his key and press the "lock" button.
After hearing the sound which indicated that the car doors were closed, he made his way to his front door with a stunned symere trailing closely behind him.
Symere looked up at the big house in front of him with his mouth agape. He was stunned.
The house was painted midnight blue and had a big lawn around it. The path way leading up to the front door was decorated with silver tiles and had pretty flowers at the sides.
Jordan opened the door and shifted to the side, allowing symere to enter first.
The smaller boy stepped indoors, instantly admiring every detail about the house.
He stepped further inside allowing his eyes to roam the house.
"You like it?" He heard Jordan said from behind him.
"Love it" Symere replied turning around to give Jordan a big smile.
"Follow me. Let me show you around" Jordan told Symere.
"This is the living room", Jordan said looking at Symere.
Jordan showed Symere the bathroom and the kitchen.
They were now making their way up the stairs, where there bedrooms were located.
Jordan stopped in front of a white door before opening it. He stepped inside with symere right behind him.
"This is your bedroom. I hope you like it"
Symere lips curled up in a smile. His room was very big. It was painted in white with a queen sized bed in the middle.
To the left was a closet and beside it was the bathroom. Two small table was placed at both sides of his bed. One of them accompanying a small lamp and the other with a vase with fake flowers.
Symere felt himself becoming emotional because he had never had anything like this before.
With tears pricking at his eyes he turned to Jordan. " you didn't have to do this Jordan"
"I don't want you to pity me. I don't need your help. I know you don't want me here so why are you d-
"Symere stop. I'm not doing this because I pity you. I'm doing this because I want to sy. Come here" Jordan stretched out his arm to Symere, signalling him to come forward.
Symere looked up at Jordan as he made his way over to him. Jordan wrapped his arms around Symere's tiny frame engulfing him in a hug.
Symere wrapped his arm around Jordan letting the tears fall. Jordan pulled the boy closer to his body trying to comfort him.
Stroking the younger man's hair, Jordan whispered sweet words into his ear soothingly . "Its ok Sy. I promise I got you."
"Promise?" Symere asked, looking into Jordan's eyes.
" I promise beautiful"
