Sweet Serendipity

John bit his lip and gently wrapped his arms around Junior, bringing his close to his chest. He wiped away a few tears with his thumb. "Baby, it'll be okay, I promise. I won't let anyone hurt you again..." he whispered as he held him.

Junior buried his face in John's chest, crying so hard he was hyperventilating. He just couldn't believe it. He knew people wanted to hurt him, but rape?

John's heart broke as Junior cried. "Breath, baby. Breath." He said softly. He'd kill the next person who tried to hurt his baby... He sighed and fixed Junior's pants before he lifted him up bridal style, holding him close. "Let's get you home." He whispered. He didn't want to leave Junior alone but he wasn't sure if Junior wanted him around or not.

Junior clung to John, not wanting him to leave. He was so distressed and he didn't want to be alone right now. He was scared. He didn't even know who tried to rape him. It was scary not knowing who wanted to hurt him like that.

John took Junior's clinging as a sign not to leave. He gently set Junior in the passenger seat of his car before getting in the driver's seat. He bit his lip as he didn't know where Junior lived. "Wanna go to my place?" He asked softly, wrapping an arm around Junior, being able to drive with one hand. He had a feeling he knew who tried to rape Junior. And he'd kill him the next time John saw him.

"I don't care," Junior said quietly, cuddling into John. He didn't know who tried to rape him and he didn't care so long as it didn't happen again.

John nodded and drove to his condo. They arrived at his place, night valet taking his car as John carried Junior up to his home. They entered, John shooing his dog before he carried Junior into his bedroom, gently laying him on the bed.

Junior had fallen asleep in the car and when John laid him in the bed, he snuggled in to it, his mouth opening slightly as he slept peacefully.

John smiled softly as he watched Junior, gently kissing his temple. He climbed into bed next to him and pulled him to his chest, lightly rubbing his back until he too fell asleep.

Junior slept soundly for the better part of the night. But around 4 A.M. he woke started having to twitch. Slowly, his movements got more and more dramatic as his breathing increased until he was hyperventilating. He was seeing images of his rape, but the face was never shown. Tears started to fall down his face and he woke with a start, looking around wildly.

John awake abruptly when he felt Junior thrash in his arms. He sat up, wrapping his arms around the scared man. "Baby, baby its okay. I'm here. Its okay..." He cooed spftly, pulling Junior into his lap.

Junior relaxed when he felt and heard John. He sighed as a few tears ran down his face, his breathing beginning to normalize. He still couldn't believe what happened.

John sighed and reach up, wiping Junior's tears away. "It'll be alright babes, I promise..." He whispered softly.

Junior took a deep breath and looked at him, a small smile on his face. "Thank you," he said softly, looking into John's eyes.

John smiled softly, looking back into Junior's eyes. "Anytime. Now you should go back to sleep." He said, kissing Junior's temple.

Junior nodded, laying back down next to John and laying his head on John's chest. He sighed softly, closing his eyes and drifting back to sleep.

The next morning, John's alarm went off. He groaned, smashing his fist against the snooze button before sluggishly sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He sighed, glancing over at a sleeping Junior. Poor thing had horrible night last night. He gently shook him. "C'mon babes, time to wake up..." He said softly.

Junior groaned, turning onto his side, facing away from John and falling back asleep. He was far too tired to wake up and he didn't care what he had to do today. He just didn't have the energy.

John bit his lip. They could go a day with Junior at work. They weren't doing much anyway. He laid down next to Junior, spooning him from behind and gently kissing his neck.

Junior sighed, a small, soft smile spreading across his face. John felt so good against him, and he was so happy to have him there for support.

John spooned as close as humanly possible to Junior, closing his eyes and drifting off back to sleep. He'd make sure no one hurt the man sleeping next to him ever again.

Junior woke up a few hours later with an extreme headache. He groaned softly, trying to get up but found himself pinned to the bed. "John," he groaned quietly, trying to get him to move.

John groaned quietly and moved so Alex could get up before falling right back asleep. He was exhausted, always was for some reason.

Alex got up, walking into the bathroom and pulling out a bottle of tylenol. He got out two pills, putting some water into a glass and taking them, hoping that they would kick in soon. He really hated headaches.

John awake, feeling the other side of the bed empty. He groaned, seeing the bathroom light on. "Come baaaack..." He moaned like a child who wanted his teddy bear back.
