Bill called, stepping onto the Cobra bus, almost twelve hours since his encounter with Mike. He hadn't heard from the older man since he had said he had plans that morning, and Bill was starting to grow worried. Fortunately, Gabe was on the bus.
“Hey,” he said quietly. Gabe’s back was to Bill and all the lights were turned off, so he couldn’t see his face, even though he knew it was him. Somehow this only worried him more.
“Gabe, are you okay?” A shadow moved like it was nodding slowly, as if in pain. A few seconds later, he made a loud groan, confirming Bill’s suspicions. “Gabe, baby, what happened?”
“Nothing…didn’t mean to…not his fault…”
“Sweetie, look at me.”
“No, I don’t… I don’t deserve… don’t deserve… took… took he said…”
“Who said?” Bill tried to get closer to where Gabe was sitting. On the way he saw the glow of white light switch, he flicked it on, hoping to see what Gabe was so determined to hide, with no such luck.
“No… no one… nothing happened…” He was lying. Bill knew he was lying, he knew he was lying; he knew Bill knew he was lying.
Bill managed to get over to where Gabe was; sitting next to him, he gently stroked his back.
“Baby, you’re scaring me.”
“He said… I didn’t deserve this, any of it… you… the…the band… touring…” Gabe turned his face towards his boyfriend’s; Bill gasped as he stared at the blood-covered face. Gabe had cuts and bruises everywhere, his hair was matted with blood, and Bill was pretty sure the huge gash on his neck was still bleeding.
“Gabe!”
“He said… he said I took you… took you from him.”
A/N - That's right, I went there.
