Tainted Love

"Everything okay?" Monte asked.

"Um...yeah, I guess." Lennon said, going quiet.

"Len, I know you better than that..." said Monte. "What is it?"

"He was annoyed..." Lennon sighed. "So I acted as I usually would when I'm with him..."

"When are you gonna tell him?" Monte asked.

"I...I don't know..." Lennon mumbled.

Monte nodded, understanding.

Lennon sighed, running a hand through his hair as he looked at Bradley, who was still sleeping.

Kiara says we can take him home in a few hours," said Monte.

"Oh, that's good." Lennon said. "I've had enough of this place already in the past..."

"I know," said Monte. "Me too."

Lennon nodded and got up so he could hug Monte.

Monte hugged Lennon tightly.

Lennon slowly let Monte go after a few seconds, seeing Bradley stirring.

Monte stroked Bradley's hair.

Bradley smiled and yawned, slowly sitting up.

"Hey you,"Monte smiled.

"Hey..." Bradley said, yawning again, pulling a face.

"How'd you sleep?" Monte asked

"Okay...still hurting." Bradley said. "Though that's sorta my fault for falling asleep before being given anything to help..."

"S'okay, Kiara's gonna give you something, then we can take you home hopefully," said Monte.

Bradley smiled. "Really?" He asked.

Monte nodded. "Mhhhmmm."

Bradley smiled, wrapping his arm around Monte's neck, kissing his cheek.

Monte smiled. "Love you."
