Who: Brendan and Carson
What: A hug!
When: Saturday afternoon
Where: Brendan's place
Rating: PG

Crime tended to scare Carson. He was already a relatively fragile human being but to hear of one of his own friends getting stabbed was enough to shake him. Especially knowing Brendan could be caught up in all of it. Mind, had he known what Brendan had done to Dylan, he would be just as scared of the man he considered his best friend as he was of most bad people. However he didn't and so after hearing William was hurt he baked cookies - chocolate chip and white chocolate chip - and put them in a container.

With them in hand and Sparky on a leash he walked the mile or so to Brendan's home, not bothered by it in the least. For a man who was used to walking everywhere, a mile was nothing. Stepping up to the door he knocked, waiting, Sparky sitting at his feet calmly even as Trinket started yipping.

	Brendan came to the door, pointedly ignoring the fact that William had snuck out while he peed. Jerk. He smiled at Carson, a tired look, and let him in. "Hey, big guy," He nodded, Trinket coming to greet, "And how are you?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Carson let Sparky off the leash and the older dog wandered inside, the puppy hopping after him. They found themselves occupied sniffing each other as Carson finally stepped in. Almost immediately he threw his arms around the man, hugging him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Brendan had held himself together pretty well the last few days. He had only cried once, by himself, in the shower. But the moment He was being hugged by Carson, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He knew Carson didn't know the full story, and he knew Carson couldn't, but it was so nice to just have someone hug him because of what happened that he just let go and cried.

	With the cookies left on the ground in their container Carson just hugged his friend tightly. He rubbed Brendan's back when he felt and heard the man start crying, shushing him softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan leaned his forehead to Carson's shoulder, taking a moment to just be hugged and comforted and what not before he sniffled a bit, leaning away slightly, "Um. Come in. Are those cookies?" He asked, hand raising to wipe at his cheeks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, yes." He smiled a little and reached down to get them. "I thought you and William both could use some cookies." Carson offered them to Brendan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks, Carson," Brendan nodded, sniffling once more before taking them with a smile, "How about we have a few? Did you want some coffee or something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilevitate 2009-01-25 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, I'd rather like some tea? If you want to get it I could get the cookies out." He kissed Brendan's forehead softly before moving to sit down on the couch with the cookies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay," Brendan smiled, patting Carson's arm, "I'll go get it started," He nodded and headed towards the kitchen, taking a few breaths, trying to just settle down again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Carson's new cellphone, which he'd purchased not a week before, buzzed and he pulled it out of his pocket with a cookie half sticking out of his mouth. Apparently Dylan had replied to one of his messages and with a bit of tinkering he replied back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan got down some mugs, putting on the kettle and moving to give Trinket, who was sniffing around, a pat. He really wasn't meaning to neglect the poor pooch, but he was sure he was doing so, so tried to make up for it when he was in the mood to do so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course when Sparky saw Trinket getting a pat, he wandered over to Brendan as well and wuffled a bit. His tail wagged before he sniffed at Trinket, nipping her ear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey now," Brendan pointed at Sparky, "Play nice," And both dogs then got Brendan's attention, a smile on his face as he moved to sit on the floor beside them and sort of spoil them with attention for a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	While Brendan tended to the dogs, Carson munched on his cookie and continued keeping up with Dylan's replies. Of course they startled him a bit, what with Dylan telling of how Brendan used his ability to hurt him, but he wasn't sure what to do with that information. Dylan was telling him to run but Brendan needed him... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The kettle whistled and Brendan stood up, taking it off the burner before going to wash his hands, not about to eat cookies with dog o his hands. Once he had the tea made, he came into the living room and put down a mug for Carson, "Careful, it's really hot," He said as he sat down, grabbing a cookie and having a bite, "Oh, these are really good, Carson. Thank you."

	"Y-yeah. I'm glad you like them." Smiling a little worriedly he glanced at his tea, before just eating another cookie. He'd put his cell phone away and Sparky had padded back out into the living room to lay at Carson's feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brendan looked at Carson, slightly confused, "You okay, big guy?" He patted the man's leg, raising his eyebrows, Something was off, and Brendan couldn't tell what. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilevitate 2009-01-25 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh. I'm fine. Just...fine. Its just...well." He looked at Brendan, wondering if the man was truly capable of hurting Dylan. Of course Brendan had hurt him once before but that had been...an accident, hadn't it? "I got a message. On the journals. From D-Dylan. I know he stabbed William but he said you hurt him. That you made him hurt himself..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Brendan's face fell. Hadn't he told the kid he couldn't tell anyone? He could tell it upset Carson, and he wanted to lie about it, to deny it, just so that Carson was okay, but...He couldn't. How could he? Carson was his best friend.

"I wish he'd stop messing with me," He sighed out, putting down his tea and raising a hand to his face to rub at it tiredly, "Carson, he has hurt me far too many times. He has made me this...pathetic figure, and I...I'm sorry, I couldn't let him get away with another attack on me and the man I love." He shrugged and looked at Carson, "I'm sorry."

	"You don't have to...to apologize." he shook his head. "I know w-why you did it. I just don't...see how it is going to do any good? Its d-done but an eye for an eye just makes the whole world blind." Carson was very much a non-violent person. He believed violence was rarely the answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That wasn't even an eye, Carson. He..." Brendan sighed, "He's done all he could to destroy me. And I can't...I won't just keep taking it," He shrugged and reached for his tea to have a sip, to try and calm down even as his tears were starting to form again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilevitate 2009-01-25 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay." He glanced down at his feet before reaching forward for his tea. Taking a sip as well he didn't look at Brendan, feeling uncertain. Would Brendan hurt him again? What if he made the other man mad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	listentomyvoice 2009-01-25 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	He didn't need this, He just didn't. Brendan just started crying again, out of frustration, "You can go if you are uncomfortable now, Carson," He said as he wiped at his cheeks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilevitate 2009-01-25 03:57 pm UTC (link)
	"B-Brendan. It isn't t-that." Carson saw his friend was crying. "I just l-love you. I don't want to be s-scared. You are my best friend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Then don't be scared," Brendan said with a sad hiccup of a laugh, "I'm not...Carson, I'm not going to hurt you. I love you, too. You are such a good man," He shook his head, "I don't know what to tell you, okay? I won't ever hurt you. Ever." He was going to go crazy, he was sure of it. He didn't know what to do. And if Dylan was telling Carson, who knew who else? Probably William. Then the man would be even more angry at him. Great. Maybe he would go to work after all.
