Shay, Elijah
Everything felt so surreal. Being ushered out of the house with the others, blankets wrapped around them all because it was the dead of winter and none of them had jackets or coats. The cold air was biting, and Elijah's tears nearly froze to his cheeks. It had been so long since he'd been outside that he didn't even know how to cope with the scent of the trees or the crisp feeling of the wind.

He tried to answer as many questions as possible. Emma was very sweet, and she hadn't tried to seperate Elijah from Shay. The parademics looked them all over, but Elijah hardly remembered any of it. It felt so strange to be in a moving vehicle. It felt so strange to think that he wasn't Adam's anymore.

Who was he, then?

At the hospital, he got a more thorough check. He'd been extensively examined, and being seperated from Shay and the others left him feeling impossibly anxious. Everyone's family would be coming. Murphy's parents, Vegas, his boyfriend. Parker's boyfriend. Shay's mother. Elijah had no one at all coming, and he didn't know what to do with himself or how to feel.

After Shay had been examined, she'd arranged for him to be put in the same room as Elijah. The boys were all in pretty good condition, save for Murphy because of his asthma. But they'd all be able to go home with their families. Even though Shay had insisted that Elijah could go with him, Elijah couldn't help but feel terrified that something would happen to make him change his mind. The thought of being alone was scary, even though he'd been alone almost his whole life it seemed.

"I love that you can smell me." It was clear from his voice that he was beaming. He flopped down on the familiar bed. "I used to stay here a lot. Guess I'll be staying here some more, right?" He was in a brilliant mood, so resiliant that it seemed as if he'd never been in the basement dungeon of a serial kidnapper.

"Do you think Murphy or Parker will call?" he mused out loud, already wondering about what they were up to.

	Elijah followed the sound of Shay's voice, and when he knew that he was close, he sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to brush his fingers against the side of Shay's jaw. "I think they will," he said softly. "This is so strange. Your bed is huge," he added with an amused smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Huge, yes, but I'm still going to sleep right up against you like we were in that cramped bed." Their first night sleeping together had been the best night of Shay's life. It was a disturbing juxtaposition, the extreme high occuring right in the middle of the extreme low, but that's how it had happened. If it meant never meeting Elijah, Shay would not have gone back in time to erase his experience with Adam.

	Elijah slipped out of his shoes and he moved to curl up against Shay on the bed. He pulled the covers up over them and pressed up against the taller boy as if he was trying to adhere himself to him for the rest of his life, and he swore that if he could, he would have done it. "Where do you think he is?" he whispered softly after a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Shay was pretty sure that he wouldn't mind being fused to Elijah. He had no intentions of ever changing his mind about loving him very much.

"Maybe he got so upset that he killed himself." Adam had never seemed suicidal, but Shay could hope. Maybe he hadn't been there long enough to get attached to the man, but Shay didn't think he would have ever allowed that to happen, no matter how long he'd been holed up there.

	Elijah tucked his head beneath Shay's chin, finding that he liked how they seemed to fit together so perfectly. It was as if they'd been made for one another. "I'm still so tired," he whispered, "But I'm afraid if I fall asleep, I'll wake up back down in that cage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You won't," Shay promised. "Mom will eat him alive if he comes 'round." It was probably a silly thing to say, but it made him feel better and he hoped it made Elijah feel better too. "You should sleep some more. I'll be here when you wake up." It was a promise. Even though he couldn't be sure to keep it, he made it anyway because he'd do everything in his power to make it so.

	"Okay," Elijah whispered softly as he snuggled down against the pillow and against Shay's shoulder. He pressed a kiss against the corner of the other boy's mouth before a yawn escaped him. "G'night," he whispered quietly before he started to drift off. (Reply to this)(Parent)
