Title:  All He Can Do

Pairing:  Zach/Shaun
Rating:  S - for schmoop (G for real)
Notes:  I've had a long day, I have a cold, and tomorrow I start six weeks of radiation.  I needed some schmoop.

There’s not many things Zach can do for Shaun, not really anyway.  Sure, he can cook supper once in a while when Shaun is lost in his writing, or he can swing by the grocery store on the way home from school when they run low on mac-and-cheese or beer, but there’s just not many things he can do.

 

He can’t help Shaun get his chapters done the way Shaun helped him apply to Cal Arts.  He can’t erase the hurt in Shaun’s eyes when Cody has to introduce him as just ‘Shaun’ instead of as ‘my other Dad’.  He can’t even help Shaun pay many of the bills because there’s only so many hours in the day to work and go to school. 

 

But this…he can do.  He can open his heart as he opens his arms and let Shaun crawl right in to lay down his weary head.  He can hold him tight as he cradles him close and let him whisper all his fears about not finding the right words to finish his book…all the while rubbing his back and kissing his forehead and telling him how truly amazing he really is.  He can be there for Shaun…offering comfort…offering shelter…offering a love without limits.

 

 

And that’s all he can do.

Who could ask for more.

Not me. I'm thinking this would be a perfect way to end the day...crawling up into Zach's arms and have him whisper me to sleep. *sigh*

And thank you for your support and prayers. I promise you I'm going to be fine and spamming you on a near-daily basis with all the Shelter fic I can come up with. *grin*

Love you right back,
Fizzer
