TJ knew that things had been different. Tim was definitely less affection than usual but TJ just chocked that up to the injuries. He'd been doing what he could, but did take breaks every now and then when family offered to help. Doing the laundry was easy enough. When he got the text, a lump formed in his gut and he really wasn't sure why. Just shaking it away, he put the clothes in the laundry and then headed upstairs. He had a smile on his face when he stepped through the door but it faded as soon as he saw Tim. TJ swallowed and stepped a little closer.
