To Callaway
Parker didn't have any injuries to speak of. He was very clear that he wanted to get out of the fucking hospital as soon as he possibly could. As the members of the team questioned him, he was short with his answers, sullen at best and belligerent at worst. They reassured him that they'd called Callaway and that the man would be there soon, but Parker had almost told them not to call because he didn't know if he was ready to see the man. Sure, Reagan had mentioned that the man had been waiting for him, but could he really trust to hope for something so amazing? In Parker's experience, he didn't get such a good thing twice, especially after he'd treated it so poorly the first time around.

Everyone had left him alone, moving on to the next victim, the next little headline or piece of the puzzle depending on how you looked at it. The silence of the little exam room was almost too much to bear and before he knew it, he found himself on the floor with his knees up to his chest, sobbing as quietly as he could.

He leaned his head back against the passenger seat, nearly knocked out by Callaway's words. It never failed to surprise him how Callaway could make him go utterly weak inside with just a turn of phrase. It hadn't changed, even after five years.

"I know it now." And he was more likely to trust that now, as if Callaway had passed some great cosmic test. Waiting for him for that long. Something occurred to Parker and he glanced over at the other man. "Have you seriously not had sex in five years?" He wouldn't have blamed him if he'd fucked someone else, after all, Parker had.

	Both of Callaway's hands came up to cup Parker's face. He smiled softly at the younger man's words, and while most people might have found being compared to a spider offensive, Callaway certainly didn't. "I'm very certain that I wouldn't be able to drive properly if you did that," he mumbled softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be okay," he countered. Not that Parker had a death wish or anything, but he was starting to feel so high that he thought danger just didn't apply to him. He'd just escaped half a decade in a dark, dank prison. But after a moment, he sighed a little and drug himself off of Callaway. "We should absolutely get home," he said with determination.

	The tone of Parker's voice was utterly adorable, and Callaway leaned over to kiss him softly a few more times before he pulled away to start the car again and pull back onto the road. "Don't worry, I'll drive fast," he promised as he reached over to brush his fingers against the side of Parker's face. "It'd be nice if teleportation was available." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Callaway reached for the leash and knelt down to clip it on the dog's collar before he stood back up and took a hold of Parker's hand. He made sure to lock up again before they went downstairs, to the little grassy area meant for pets. "Sometimes when I'd get so lonely, I'd have him sleep with me," he admitted softly with a tired smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Parker laughed. "Oh he's going to love me then, I'm taking his place in the bed." He watched the dog snuffling in the grass. "But there's probably room for the three of us." He was used to small spaces and being enveloped in Callaway and Dog would mimic that enough to get him to sleep at night. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Callaway sat down on the bed, and he took one of Parker's hands into his mouth to brush a kiss to the palm of it. He leaned in and kissed at the corner of ha mouth, too. "I think we would be, yes," he said confidently. "It might not have always been easy, but I love you. Love's never always easy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nodded at that. It was the answer he'd wanted to hear and it soothed him. Finally settling down, he patted the bed and let Dog hop up. He wanted the dog to like him and it felt nice to have another body in the bed as well. As he drifted in and out of sleep, he had to wonder if the others were this happy.

	When Parker laid down, Callaway moved to slip beneath the covers beside him. He closed his eyes and pressed a kiss to Parker's temple as he wrapped both arms around the younger man. He was exhausted, but he stayed awake for a while, watching Parker while he slept and listening to him breathe. (Reply to this)(Parent)
