Jackrabbit woke, dazed, confused, the feeling of a heavy body beside him on the bed ( Read more... )

"Go back to sleep..." Sweeney mumbled indistinctly. "'S too fucken early..."

Jackrabbit's breaths felt shaky and he glanced over at Sweeney, though his figure was hazy through the tears that threatened to fall.

"C'mere," he mumbled, and turned to sleepily throw a heavy arm over Jackrabbit, pulling him close.

Jackrabbit pressed close and tight against Sweeney, whimpering a bit against his neck

mad_leprechaun March 8 2007, 07:02:50 UTC

By now, Sweeney was beginning to come back to life and he stroked Jackrabbit's hair, soothingly.

"S'alright now, Jack. Gonna be alright..."

cat_inthe_sun March 8 2007, 07:04:39 UTC

"I thought you wouldn't come back," Jackrabbit admitted, his voice thick with tears.

mad_leprechaun March 8 2007, 07:08:15 UTC

"But I did, didn't I? Told you I would."

He knew better than to promise he'd never do it again, or even that he'd always come back. For now that would have to do.

"Didn't wanna do it to ya, golden... I'm sorry."

cat_inthe_sun March 8 2007, 07:09:28 UTC

"Yes. You told me. I didn't believe you, I'm sorry," he caught himeself from a sob, which just caused a painful little hiccup

mad_leprechaun March 8 2007, 07:23:32 UTC

"Jack..." he stroked back his hair. "You gotta be prepared that someday maybe that's gonna happen. And I won't want it to, any more than I wanted to go then. But you gotta know I don't want it."

Jackrabbit understood where Sweeney was coming from. He did, truly.

But.

"I know." he said, his voice wavering

mad_leprechaun March 8 2007, 07:31:07 UTC

"But we don't gotta think about it just now. I'm back, you're back, and the baby's alright. We're all gonna be alright..."

cat_inthe_sun March 8 2007, 07:32:08 UTC

"I couldn't do it," he said, his voice cracking again. "I couldn't do it alone."

mad_leprechaun March 8 2007, 07:39:23 UTC

"You shouldn't have to..." He continued to speak soothingly, still stroking the golden brown curls.

cat_inthe_sun March 8 2007, 07:40:15 UTC

"I did badly. Person wouldn't eat, and then I yelled at per and I smoked pipe and fell asleep and person was crying for me - "

mad_leprechaun March 8 2007, 07:47:04 UTC

Ah, fuck... Sweeney felt sick with guilt.

"We gotta come up with a way you don't gotta do it by yourself, Jack."

cat_inthe_sun March 8 2007, 07:51:07 UTC

"I'm a terrible mother!" he wailed, too wrapped up with the stress of the past few days to really listen to what Sweeney was saying.
