He'd packed a small bag, just a change of clothes and his shaving bag, and left it sitting on the couch while he went looking for Gabe. He couldn't put it off any longer, not after last night, and the girls had already agreed to stay over.

Lil had even threatened to call Jasia. Jason wasn't sure why that thought worried him. Why should he be worried about Lil, Carrie and Jasia locked in a room with Gabe all night?

Rethinking that question, Jason makes a note to check the insurance policy before leaving for the night.

He wasn't trying to mope. Really, he wasn't. But it was becoming damn hard to do anything but. Zane seemed to have disappeared, the younger one at least. Which was good.

Gabe wasn't sure if he wouldn't just fucking kill him and be done with it. Outright challenges to his control was one thing but this shit, and risking Ella, as a damn nother thing.

Laying out on the bed, letting what remained of the day's sun wash over him. Healing the best way he could in the form he yearned for ever now.

Slipping into the room, Jason sits on the edge of the bed, resisting the urge to curl up next to Gabe. If he did that, the curling up would lead to cuddling which would lead to him not leaving which would mean things would fester more and nothing would get fixed.

So, he could be strong for a little bit longer and sit here on the edge of the bed. He reaches for Gabe's hand and squeezes, smiling a bit.

"Hey, I need to go out for the night, I'll be back in the morning. The girls said they're coming over."

Flashing Jason a bright smile, putting on his best game face as Gabe put into action what he'd realized in the last few days. He couldn't afford emotions. He just couldn't do it anymore. He could love and care and desire.

But that could be all he ever allowed himself because anything more and he tore everything apart.

"I don't need babysitters, Jason. Seriously. I'll be fine, you go do what you have to.' Like that. Bright smiles, squeeze Jason's hand. And know that because he had failed, Jason needed something other than him. He could live with that, long as Jason was well.

Jason knew that smile. It was the same one he had been wearing for the last week, trying to convince everyone that he was fine. His smile fades and he shifts, laying down beside Gabe.

"I was going to go visit Emma, but it can wait."

It could. He would make it wait, he'd figure out some way to do it.

"Don't do that for me,' Gabe said softly, just staring at Jason with those slitted pupils. "I'll be fine. Not as if the whole pard isn't watching me, panicked I'm going to snap. Not like Zane and Sev aren't waiting on it.'

Shrugging, reaching over to brush back a lock of Jason's hair. "You do what you have to for you, Jason. Need you guys happy and strong."

From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
"Not all of them." His voice is barely above a whisper, his arm sliding over Gabe to hug him. "And I already gave Zane his ultimatum."

"I'll be fine." He tries to sound convincing, but he doesn't quite get there. "You need me here."

"I'd prefer you not lie to me, pup. I'm being what you need me to be so do what you need.' Sighing, eyes closing as he just sort of slumps.

"Pup, I'm used to having to be strong no matter what. I was stupid and let it show I wasn't. I'm better now."

Date: 7 Apr 2006 22:48 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
"Don't, please don't." Pulling away, he sits up and hides his hands in his lap, trying to hide the fact that they're shaking.

"You shouldn't have to be strong no matter what. You should be able to let go and show that things hurt, that you're hurting. Everyone else is allowed, so are you." Ducking his head, he can't look at Gabe, his voice breaking as he speaks. "I'm sorry I couldn't be strong enough. I'm sorry."

"Jason, being alpha means I can't. It means I have to put everyone and everything before myself... even at the expense of myself. Remember, I learned this the hard way.'

Shifting, running his hand along Jason's back.

"It's not your job to care for me, Jason. Not in that way. You may be my mate but, in the end, I'm the alpha and it's my job."

Date: 7 Apr 2006 23:03 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
"Yes, it is. Fuck the alpha shit, I'm your mate. I'm supposed to be your support, the one who takes care of you."

He looks up at Gabe, obviously fighting back tears. "If I can't do that, what good am I?"

Date: 7 Apr 2006 23:13 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
"This, what has happened, is about me remembering my place as Alpha. I know my place as your mate.' Sighing, pulling Jason back to him wether he wants it or not.

"But if you're breaking down trying to deal with it, I have two choices. Buck up so you can come to me or accept that I'm failing you as both mate and Alpha."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 00:19 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
He curls up against Gabe, still shaking and fighting back tears. He hated being weak like this, not being able to help Gabe.

"I'm breaking down because shit has happened and I haven't dealt with it. You're not failing me, not before and not now."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 00:26 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
"If I'm not strong enough for you to turn to, I am. I can accept that. Just like I accept you need someone else. I didn't ask for this to happen to me, Jason and I think I'm handling it better than most would.' Steady tones, calm, accepting, sublimating. "It's okay, Pup. Really. It is."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 01:15 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
Jason curls up, wrapping his arms around his knees and letting his head fall onto his arms. "It's not okay. I'm not okay. I'm a fucked up mess who falls apart when you go missing and come home hurt and I've been trying, really trying but I'm tired."

His voice is quiet and muffled, his body trembling. "I should be able to deal with stuff like this without having to fall apart."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 01:41 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
Sighing as Jason pulls away, eyes closing. "You have every reason to worry. Your life hasn't been easy, Jason." Shrugging, using flat tones, easy ones. Letting it all be. Because it had to be.

"What we should and what we can are not always the same, Jason. I've learned to do what I must. It's what I've always done, pup. Does no good for me to let it bother me if I lose you over it."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 01:51 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
Looking up at Gabe, he finally starts to let go, tears falling slowly. "You won't lose me over it, Gabe. And I worry about you. I worry that you're going to end up hating yourself even more because of what that bitch did. I worry that you'll never trust yourself to be around Ella and end up missing out on her life. I worry that I'm going to end up having to let you go because staying here, surrounded by everyone, drives you insane."

"I worry that in the end, we're not going to be us anymore."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 02:10 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
"We're going to be fine, Jason.' Stated softly, yanking him to him and holding tight. "I'm fine. I told you that. I know how to be fine, no matter what. I'm not letting this control me and I'm not letting it slow me down. I can't afford to. Not and not risk the rest of you."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 02:42 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
Jason doesn't have the energy to fight with Gabe right now, even if he wants to. Instead he just curls into his mate, wrapping his arms around Gabe and letting the tears fall.

"Scared. I was so fucking scared I wouldn't find you."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 02:44 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
"I know.' Murmuring softly, stroking Jason's hair and holding him tight. "I'm sorry. I didn't know I'd be trapped. I'm so sorry."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 03:05 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
Jason eventually calms, but it takes a while before he lets go of Gabe. He doesn't move, just stays where he is, leaning against Gabe.

"Stop apologizing, please?" His voice is rough, still a bit strained. He nuzzles at Gabe's shoulder, sighing softly. "It wasn't your fault."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 03:09 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
Gabe waits it out. Holding Jason close, softly rubbing his back and just waiting. He has forever, he can wait. "Sure was. I followed the bitch.' Giving a shrug, cuddling Jason tighter.

Date: 8 Apr 2006 03:12 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
"You were trying to save a child, that means you're exempt from being at fault."

Date: 8 Apr 2006 03:21 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
"Not when it comes to her but...' He stops, not wanting to fighting as he nuzzles and licks at Jason.

Date: 8 Apr 2006 03:25 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thewolf-inside.livejournal.com
Jason lets it drop, for now. Canting his head, he looks at Gabe. "Promise me something?"

Date: 8 Apr 2006 03:32 (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lion-passant.livejournal.com
Shifting, Gabe moves so that his gaze meets Jason's. "What's that, Pup?"
