When: Thursday evening
Rating: PG-13

The punch to the face had startled Carson far more than it probably should have, but really the man had never been one to react well to violence. Without punching back he simply sprinted toward his house, got inside and slammed the door shut, locking both locks and putting on the chain. With a sniffle, Sparky padding up to him to see what was wrong, Carson just pat his dog's head and made his way into the bathroom where he looked at his eye in the mirror.

Yeah, he was going to have a shiner. With a bit of a frown he wet a washcloth with cold water and then held it to the eye, grimacing. Sparky sat at his heels, whining with concern, tail swishing back and forth.

"Its okay, Sparky." Carson murmured as he went back out to the living room and got on the computer, leaving a message for Brendan. He wanted the man to come over so badly, because he was so scared.

Brendan never moved so quick in his life. Well, not recently, and not in fear for a friend but rather in fear of being mugged back in L.A.. He hopped in his car and was at Carson's in no time, getting out and locking the doors before he was going to Carson's door and knocking.

"Carson? Big guy? It's me," He called, knowing that the man was probably questioning any noise he heard outside as being friend or foe.

	Sparky jogged over to the door, sat in front of it and barked. He looked to Carson, who was slowly wandering over, and then looked back to the door again and barked, growling even. "Sparky, stop it. Its Brendan." He murmured, unlocking and unchaining the door. The man had to nudge the dog aside with his foot as he opened it. "Hey." Carson murmured softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hey," Brendan walked in and put his hand on Carson's arm, looking at the man's face with a grimace, "That looks worse than the shiner William gave me when we first met, babe. Come on, let's sit down, okay?" He patted Carson's arm before gesturing for him to lead the way to the couch. He wanted the man to be okay, and he turned to shut the door and lock it, just for Carson's comfort. And for his own, since who knew if someone would come back for more punching?

	"It isn't...that bad." Carson shrugged and made his way over to the couch again, dropping down onto it, wringing his hands a bit. "I just wanted to know what he was doing and he just...punched me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan sat down beside Carson and held out his arms, "Come here," He waited for the man to move closer and he pulled him into his arms, hugging him close, "It's okay, Carson. I'm here, and I'm not going to let anyone punch you, okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know you won't, Brendan." Carson murmured as he tried to curl his long, lanky body against Brendan's chest as best he could, eyes falling shut. "I don't like it when people hit me." He sniffled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I know, baby, I know," Brendan had his hand up, stroking the man's hair slowly, "Not many people like it when they get hit." He was trying to think how he was going to protect Carson now, how he was going to make sure no one hit him. Because really, the grown man curled against him like he was was down right heart breaking, so Brendan wanted to make sure it didn't happen again.

	Carson was feeling better now that he has Brendan there with him. He felt safer, even, just being in his friend's arms and closed his eyes tightly. "Thank you for coming, Brendan." The man murmured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Don't mention it, Carson. You'd do the same for me," He pointed out, patting the man's back, "I got your back, and you got mine," He sounded terribly butch there, and he was almost proud. Of course, only when william wasn't there to hear it. Like a tree falling in a forest, if Brendan was butch and William wasn't there to see it, there was real doubt if he was butch at all.

	"How are you? And how is William?" Carson asked quietly, rubbing his cheek to his friend's shoulder. "Are you ready for Christmas?" Anything to take his mind off the man outside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan skipped the first two questions-they were a bit murky-and went for the third, "Oh, I'm so ready, Carson, big guy, it isn't funny. I got all the decorations up, the tree is up, my presents are wrapped-which reminds me, you have a few under my tree, mister, since you are coming over for dinner, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilevitate 2008-12-19 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Right. I have a couple presents for you, too Brendan." He glanced at his own little fake tree with a couple brightly wrapped packages under it. "And one for William. I don't know if he'll care for it but..." The man shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	listentomyvoice 2008-12-19 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah?" Brendan looked over at the tree, distracted from his stroking before he picked it back up, fingers working through Carson's hair, "And hey, I bet he'll be happy you got him something. Can you tell me what you got him? I promise not to tell, and I can try and guess if he will like it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I got him a little motorcycle ornament that sort of looked like his bike. Couldn't find one just like it but...figured close enough was close enough, yeah?" Carson shrugged a little bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	listentomyvoice 2008-12-19 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Brendan grinned at that, "Well hey, I wish I had thought of that! That sounds great, Carson! I'm sure William will like that!" Maybe not outwardly...or inwardly, for that matter, but damn it if Brendan was going to show doubt on that front! "That is actually really thoughtful, Carson. Good for you."

	"You think so? I hope he likes it. I hate it when I get someone a gift I just know they don't like when I see them opening it." Carson sighed and snuggled closer to Brendan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan would talk to william about that. No face making. Check. "I do think so, yes," Which was true, but then, he thought a lot of things that were wrong lately, "I am sure he'll like it. He'd be an idiot not to. More of an idiot, really." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilevitate 2008-12-19 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, good, then." Carson smiled a little about that, seeming pleased he'd picked out something good for the man he didn't know all that well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan was happy to have Carson smiling and he kissed the man's temple, "Yeah. So. what are you bringing to Christmas dinner, big guy? Any certain dish you were thinking?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I know pie is usually appropriate but I sort of wanted to make a chocolate cake. Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting and then I wanted to try...a new white frosting outline design." He blushed a bit. "I like making new deserts and making them pretty." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	listentomyvoice 2008-12-19 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I love chocolate cake!" Brendan grinned, giving Carson a little squeeze, "That's perfect, Carson! I'd love it. That sounds perfect," He nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilevitate 2008-12-19 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay." Carson smiled brightly at that, squeezing Brendan's waist in return. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	listentomyvoice 2008-12-19 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	Brendan laughed at that, squeezing Carson in return, "I can't wait to try it. I bet it is delicious," He was happy to just compliment Carson's dessert making skills. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah? I hope you'll think so." He giggled a little bit. "I love chocolate cake." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Me too! Even if it is the reason I've got the gigantic ass that I do," He smiled and nudged Carson, "you're just trying to fatten me up, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
