WHO: Thomas and Jamie
WHAT: I'm a terrible person. There's no food in the house and it's cold. MUAHAHHAA
WHEN: Late December, whatever year means Jamie is five and a half
WHERE: Their tiny apartment
WARNINGS: Poverty, hunger, swearing

The sound of his sister's phone ringing and ringing and ringing was mocking him. She wouldn't pick up (he would find out later she and her boyfriend had skipped town for a spur of the moment Christmas together) and his parents were out of town.

Everyone was out of town or busy.

"Dammit!" Thomas yelled, throwing the phone onto his bed with force because it was an outlet for his aggression that wouldn't actually harm the phone. He needed that, dammit. He needed his sister to pick up.

He needed someone to help.

There in the middle of his room, Thomas bent his face down into his hands and he rubbed at his forehead. There was no money and hardly any food and he had no idea what to do. Jamie would eventually realise it was several hours past lunch time and Thomas was going to have to figure out something to tell his son.

Oh god, what was he going to tell his son?

Thomas grinned as he sipped his tea. As long as Jamie was smiling, he could ignore the fact that he was incredibly hungry. His son was all that mattered. "You're the smelliest munchkin," Thomas said with a fake serious look on his face. "I can smell you from out in the hall." Then he laughed and shook his head, "which is a lie of course, you smell delightful but you're still taking a bath because Daddy says so!"

	Jamie stuck out his tongue. "You know 'because I said so' isn't really a reason, right, Dad?" he asked, finishing the first cheese-covered cracker. "But fine, I'll take a bath. If you read some Brothers Grimm afterwards." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ms. Watson says it's because I'm preco- prec-" Jamie pulled a face. "She says I'm something, and then laughs a little bit. But OK." Once he'd finished his bath and gotten his stories, Jamie's brain was firmly in the 'time for sleep' mode. He yawned and burrowed himself down into the blankets. "Uh-huh," he mumbled.

	Thomas had been drifting slightly, somewhere between awake and asleep. When he heard movement though, he shot out of the bed and rushed towards it before spotting his son hovering around the door. "Jesus, Jamie-" he breathed, one hand over his heart. "Honey, what are you doing?" He was a little too worried to notice the distinct chill in the air. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jamie jumped at his father's sudden presence, but it was too late to back out of it now. "My stomach hurts," he said in a small voice. "I was coming to find you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
