I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

Jacen hesitated before speaking quietly. "...you'd hate me if I told you."

"I don't think I ever really thanked you for helping me..."

"I could never hate you Jacen." Frankie said.

"YOu don;t have to thank me... I was glad to help out." Leo replied.

"You don't know that..." Jacen mumbled.

"What if I want to though?" Joseph asked.

"I do too Jacen, i love you."

"Then you can i guess..." Leo said.

Jacen gave a small smile before slowly sitting up to look at him properly. "I love you too..." He said quietly.

Moving off the coffee table, Joseph kneeled by the couch, holding his arms out.

Frankie smiled,

Leo slowly moved into the open arms.

Jacen looked away again, a guilty look in his eyes.

Joseph wrapped his arms around Leo. "Thank you." He said softly before gently kissing him.

Frankie caught the look, "Jacen?"

Leo shyly kissed back after a moment.

Jacen quickly turned away, making the nervous sound again.

Joseph smiled and carefully hugged him closer.

"Jacen please just talk to me." Frankie said worriedly.

Leo wrapped his arms around Joseph's neck.

"Peter..." Jacen said quietly after a few minutes, still not looking at him. "He...he made me think we were married..." He mumbled, hoping Frankie didn't make him explain.

Joseph smiled and kissed him again.

Frankie bit his lip softly and nodded, "Oh.. I'm sorry he took advange of you like that love."

Leo smiled into the kiss.

"W-What if it's...?" Jacen tried to ask, tearing up instead of finishing the question.

Joseph ran a hand through his hair as he pulled away.

"I don't care, i'll stay with you no matter what."

Leo's cheeks were flushed.

"...really?" Jacen asked, still worried, trying not to cry.

"Sorry," Joseph said quietly. "I should have asked first..."

"Really love, your my life." Frankie answered.

"Its ok... I liked it." Leo said softly.

Jacen nodded, in tears as he moved closer to hugs Frankie, wrapping his arms around Frankie's neck before burying his face against his chest.

Joseph smiled and hugged him close.

Frankie hugged Jacen tightly, "I love you."

Leo smiled and relaxed against him.

Jacen curled close, clinging to Frankie. "Love you..."

Joseph smiled and moved to sit on the couch with him.

Frankie smiled softly and kissed his cheek.

Leo smiled and curled close.

Jacen gave a small smile, though he was still in tears.

Joseph hugged him close, kissing his head.

"Its going to be okay Jacen, i promise." Frankie said softly.

Leo smiled.

Dante woke up.

"How do you know...?" Jacen asked quietly.

Joseph laid down with Leo, wrapping his arms tighter around him.

Jasper, who'd only just gotten back from working was quietly getting fresh clothes out so he could change.

"Because." Frankie said.

Leo smiled and slowly closed his eyes,

Dante smiled, Hey."

"Because what...?"

Joseph watched him quietly before falling asleep.

"Oh, hey." Jasper said as he turned to look at him. "I thought you were asleep..."
