Raz nodded “yeah, you’re right. We have a telepathy thing. I think Jackson has it too.” Raz yawned and stood, stretching out his back and arms. You can’t avoid him forever.” He said, heading to the door. Logan sighed and nodded “I know.” He wrapped a blanket over himself for warmth and stood. “Never knew I’d love something more than coffee.”
Raz smiled softly and gently took his hand, guiding him out of the bedroom and to The living room
Jay looked up when he heard the two come out, pressing a finger to his lips. The last thing he needed was for Jackson to wake up and be back in his panic.
Jackson had a rough night so I'm trying to keep him asleep for as long as possible. He returned his attention to his friend, brushing loose strands of hair out of his face that had fallen during the night.
Both of them nodded. Raz Let Logan go and gently pressed a kiss to Jay’s lips, leaning into him momentarily before breaking away a bit. “Please tell you slept for a few hours at least.” He said, gently massaging his shoulders as he watched Jackson in worry. He glanced up as Logan slowly came over and sat in front of The couch, gently brushing a gentle hand along Jackson’s cheek.
Jay sighed, leaning gratefully into Raz's hands. "I would but then I'd be lying." He watched as Jackson flinched at the contact before nuzzling into it. "I didn't want to risk him waking up in a panic and doing something he'd regret. So I just watched over him, made sure to keep him calm."
Raz nodded “he seems to be doing alright now.” He murmured with a small smile, watching as Logan became entranced with Jackson even as he remained asleep.
Raz continued to massage Jay for a while, occasionally moving to his neck an direction shoulders then his temple. “At least they’re both more calm.”
"Yeah, that's good. I don't think he could handle it if he woke up with Logan still upset at him." He chuckled, leaning back to look up at Raz with a smile.
“I’ve never known him for staying upset for long, save for Xavier and not having Coffee.”
Logan turned to Raz and stuck out his tongue before focusing back on Jackson.
Raz laughed and glanced down at Jay “and to what do I owe this lovely early morning smile for, hm?”
"For being so pretty~" He hummed innocently. Jackson stirred in his lap, whining softly as his face contorted like he was having a nightmare.
Raz rolled his eyes with a smile, pressing a kiss to his nose “you need sleep dear.” He took a deep breath And headed to the kitchen to start breakfast.
Logan’s brow creased in worry. “Hon, you’re safe.” He whispered, pressing their heads together.
Jay whined dramatically as Raz left, pouting before turning back to Jackson and Logan.
Jackson continued to whimper, turning to dig his face into Jay's lap like he was trying to escape it.
Logan sighed softly and pressed a gentle kiss to Jackson’s brow. “Imma go help Raz with breakfast.” He said softly, standing and going to the kitchen.
Raz offered a small smile and some coffee “don’t worry, it’s leftovers from yesterday, I didn’t make it.”
Jay simply nodded, before turning to try and calm Jackson back down. Was this really just a nightmare or could it be another one of Jackson's night terrors?
Logan started on the inlet while Raz made the sausage links and toast, covering with garlic to make garlic bread instead of just butter. He also started some hot chocolate as well.
“Did I over react?” He asked softly
Raz shrugged “no, I think I reacted worse when jay told me he was leaving. It’s understandable Lo.”
Jackson shot up with a small scream, panting and shaking while his face was white as a ghost. Jay gently rested a hand on his shoulder. "Jackson? Buddy, breathe. You're okay. You're safe."
Both Raz Andy Logan turned at the small scream and peeked out of the kitchen. “I’d say good morning but I don’t think that applies.” Raz said with small sigh. Logan offered a small smile but couldn’t bring himself to approach Jackson.
Jackson practically launched himself into Jay's arms, broken sobs escaping his trembling lips. Jay just held him tight, stroking his hair as he tried to calm him down.
The two went back to making breakfast, hoping that something warm and filling would ease the tension they all felt.
“You’ll need to talk to him.” Raz said softly
Logan took a deep breath and nodded “I know. But not when he’s already so anxious.”
Jackson continued to sob, choked out phrases of "Please believe me…" and "Don't leave me…" with no context being whimpered. Jay just held him, still trying to get him to calm down. I think he had a nightmare about Logan…
Raz nodded slightly as he prepared the food and gently nudged Logan, jerking his chin back to the living room. Logan shook his head, trying his best to hold in his own sobs. “i can’t Raz. I’m not forcing him to stay here. It’s too painful for the both of us so why try to change his mind?”
Raz took a wavering breath and forced Logan to look at him. “Because you clearly have something between you that you know will never happen again.”
Logan whispered softly and glanced back at Jackson “he won’t even look at me…”
Raz shrugged, hating to be so harsh but knowing they both needed it. “Make him look at you. Fight for it.” Raz let him go and nudged him again towards the living room
Jackson was starting to calm down and Jay breathed a quiet sigh of relief. I've done what I can. But he needs Logan. He looked over at the two in the kitchen. Logan was going to have to be the one to reach out because Jackson was far too scared to do so and risk screwing things up.
Logan wiped away his stray tears and shuffle down his way back to the living room. He sat on the edge of the couch and slowly reached out, brushing aside Jackson’s hair. From the awkward position, Logan could only make contact with Jackson’s back And arm. He didn’t really want to talk, only just to be with Jackson in any way allowed for as long as possible
Jackson slowly pulled his head up from Jay's chest, red and teary eyes peering up at Logan. He stared at him for a second, lip quivering before he once again jumped into Logan's arms, whispering how sorry he was and begging him not to leave.
Logan sighed in relief and wrapped Jackson in his arms, pulling him as close as he could and burying his face in his neck.
“Shh, my love, please don’t be sorry for anything. It’s nothing you or anyone can control. I should be apologizing to you, I may have over reacted a bit.” He gently pressed a kiss to his brow. “I’d never leave you my love, not if I can help it.”
His words quieted although his whimpering didn't, trying to calm himself down with Logan's words. Jay took his leave, joining Raz in the kitchen. "Well, that's one problem solved."
Raz laughed softly, “just one?” He passed him a mug of hot chocolate and leaned against Jay’s shoulder “think we should have stayed at your parents house for a few more weeks now?” He teased, watching the two for a moment.
"Noooo, never. I don't think I could stand another interrogation from Cherry. I love the woman but she drives me crazy." Jay shook his head before taking a sip from his cup.
Raz chuckled, amused by his fiancé’s sudden need to be apart from his family for a bit. “You port demon.” Raz teased, kissing his cheek and moving around him to attend to The breakfast
"Yes yes, poor me indeed." Jay rolled his eyes, moving so that Raz could get where he needed to in the kitchen.
Raz hugged Jay with a shake of his head and kissed him sweetly. “Well hey, at least we’re at home now.” He said, letting Jay go to serve the breakfast.
Logan took a deep breath and tilted his head back to gaze at Jackson. He pressed a kiss to his brow “I think I know what I want our deal to be.” He whispered softly
Jay sat down at the counter, watching Raz work with a content smile. I don't know what I'd do without you…
Jackson peered up at him, blinking the remaining tears out of his eyes as he tilted his head in concern. Was he serious about this? He couldn't be, right?
