Big Brother. The pain of the dial O'Brien controlled. All the mental torture he went through. Two plus two is five.... With a sob he woke up from his nightmare, clinging to his pillow as he pretended it was someone - anyone - that could comfort him. Once the initial shock of the nightmare was gone, so were the sobs and he was left a sniffling mess. Sliding out of bed he put on his glasses and made his way to Bree's room, peeking inside.

She was gone and suddenly he remembered everything. His daughter was away, had been gone for weeks and thus his only close comfort was gone. That made him cry all the more, eyes closed tightly as he sniffled and tried to wipe away the tears. Grabbing one of her pillows he walked through the house with it, hugging it close to his chest, only letting go to put on proper clothes for outside. Getting on a pair of rain boots and a jacket he finally returned to hugging the pillow as he stepped out of the house, locking the door behind him.

Catching a taxi he ended up at O'Brien's home, in front of the other man's door. With a pathetic little sniffle he reached up and rang the doorbell, not really thinking about how O'Brien was probably asleep.

	It didn't seem as if he was going to let go of his pillow anytime soon. He stood and padded over to the older man, reaching with one hand to lace their fingers together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Very good, Winston," He commented gently, soothingly as he lead the man to the bed room and sat down on the bed, guiding him down too, "Come on. We'll get you tucked in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With the pillow on his lap as he sat on the bed, Winston removed his shirt and folded it before setting it neatly on the ground. Feeling a bit more comfortable he shifted and snuggled into the blankets, still hugging his daughter's pillow to his chest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Waiting for Winston to settle, O'Brien removed his robe and moved to lay beside him, taking in a breath, "And how is Bree?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know." He mumbled, turning to snuggle against O'Brien's side, eyes closed. "I haven't sp-spoken to her in quite some time. I don't think she wants to talk to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"and why is that?" He coaxed, wanting the man to talk through all this, to get a sense of what was going on in the man's life. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"Because I'm a terrible father. I left her alone. I left a 12 year old girl alone." Winston sniffled. "Her uncle took her away from me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You are not her father, Winston. Not really," He pointed out, "You are not used to taking care of her yet. You are getting adjusted." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-06-25 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"Not quickly enough!" It was all too obvious he was frustrated with himself. He was put into this world because someone thought he could take care of that little girl and now he'd lost her. "I'm so dim. So dull." The man rolled over so his back was to Winston, obviously ashamed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Winston, you are not dim," He said firmly, sighing as he put a hand on the man's shoulder, offering comfort, "You are adjusting at your own rate, and Bree should respect that. You are trying to be a part of her life even though you do not need to be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I still feel like I've failed her, though." He whispered after a moment, rolling over again to snuggle against O'Brien with a sniffle. "I miss our home. It was...was easier there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Here you can feel just as secure," O'Brien kept his voice calm as he put his arms around Winston, wanting to comfort him, "You can be just as strong as you were. Stronger. You will adjust." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Winston found himself believing O'Brien because with the other man's arms around him, he did feel secure. Finally moving the pillow aside he just put his arms around the older man in returned and pressed their bodies together, eyes closed. "Okay." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2plus2equals5 2008-06-25 02:38 am UTC (link)
	"Okay," Pleased that the man seemed to agree, that he could be safe, O'Brien nodded and held Winston close, "Now, you need a good sleep. Can you handle that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-06-25 02:59 am UTC (link)
	"I think so?" Winston offered up, frowning, obviously fretting. "You'll stay here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2plus2equals5 2008-06-25 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," He nodded, "I need sleep, too, Winston." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-06-25 03:10 am UTC (link)
	"Alright." With a nod he seemed to settle in an relax, asleep soon enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)
