 ~*~*~*~

Who:  Shaun calling Zach

Time:  Next day. 7:30 a.m.

Notes:  Cody’s dialogue is also in bold this time.

 

 

 “Hello?”

 

 “Cody?”

 

 “Shaun!”

 

 “Hey there, buddy.  Why are you answering Uncle Zach’s phone?”

 

 “He’s sick, Uncle Shaun.  He’s in the bathroom.”

 

 “Can you bring the phone to him so I can talk to him?”

 

 “Nuh-uh.  He told me to wait out here for Cole’s mom to come get me and take me to school.”

 

 “You’re going to school?  Are you all better?”

 

 “Yep.  All better.”

 

 “Really?  Are you sure?”

 

 *giggling*  “Yes, I’m sure.”

 

 “Sure, sure?”

 

 *giggling louder*  “Yes, Uncle Shaun!  I’m sure!”

 

 *chuckling*  “Okay, okay.  Geez, you don’t have to yell.”

 

 “You’re silly, Uncle Shaun.”  *sound of doorbell ringing*  “Cole’s mom is here.”

 

 “Okay, buddy.  Let her in and then go give the phone to Uncle Zach, okay?”

 

 “Okay.  Are you coming home today?”

 

 “Yep.  I should be home in time for supper.”

 

 “Can we have hot dogs and macaroni and cheese?”

 

 “Sure can, little man.  Now let Mrs. Torrence in so you can go give the phone to Zach.”

 

 *door opens*

 

 “Hi Cody.  You all set for school?”

 

 “Yes ma’am.  Shaun  told me to bring the phone to Zach.”

 

 “Okay, go do that and I’ll get your backpack.”

 

 “You promise you’re coming home today, Uncle Shaun?”

 

 “Yeah, buddy, I promise.  I’ll be home soon.  You have a good day at school. Don’t chase any girls.”                                              

 

 *giggles*  “Yuck!  I don’t chase them, they chase me.”

 

 “If you say so.  Love you, little man.”

 

 “Love you too, Uncle Shaun.  Here’s Zach.”

 

 “Zach, Shaun’s on the phone.”

 

 “Is Mrs. Torrence here?”

 

 “Yeah.”

 

 “Don’t forget your lunch and make sure you thank her for bringing you to school today.”

 

 “Okay.”

 

 “Have a good day, buddy.  Love you.”

 

 “Love you too, Zach.  Bye.”

 

 “Hello?”

 

 “Whoa, you sound like shit.  When did you start getting sick?”

 

 “Around eleven last night.”

 

 “I’m sorry, babe.  I wish I was there.”

 

 “I don’t.  It’s not a pretty sight.”

 

 “Like I care.  Listen, let me cancel my meeting and I’ll be home before lunch.”

 

 “No, dude, don’t.  If I’ve got what Cody had, I’m just going to sleep the rest of the day anyway.  Stay.”

 

 “But I don’t want to be here, I want to be there.  None of this shit matters.”

 

 “Yes, it does.  It’s only a few more hours.  I’ll be fine.”  *groans*  “Oh shit.  I gotta go.”

 

 “Zach-“

 

 *dial tone*

 

 

 ~*~*~*~

 When:  Same day.  Three hours later.

 

Shaun comes into the bedroom to find Zach asleep on top of the covers, his face pale, his hair matted to his head.  He opens the window to let in some fresh air and goes into the bathroom to wet a washcloth.  Climbing carefully onto the bed, he gently wipes Zach’s face.

 

 “Huh?  Shaun?  You’re not supposed to be here.”

 

 “Ssh, go back to sleep.”  He folds the cloth over and wipes the back of Zach’s neck.

 

 “Feels good.”

 

 “Good.  Get some sleep.”  He gets up to rinse out the cloth, stopping when Zach reaches out for his hand.

 

 “Stay with me.”

 

 Smiling, Shaun curls up behind Zach, cradling him gently.  “Alright, but only forever.”

Awww, Shaun is so sweet and caring. **sigh**

I'm swooning!! They melt my heart every time.

I forgot to say in my last comment that I adore how you have Zach here saying "hey" like he did in the film. When Shaun called him to invite him to dinner and Zach answered saying "hey", well, I almost fell off my chair. God, he was so cute and adorable there. When he saw that it was Shaun, well, he got all nervous and happy and acted like a little child, not knowing what to say, rubbing his jeans, and he couldn't believe that Shaun still wanted him even if he had to bring Cody too. And Shaun was so nervous too, you can tell it for his voice.

I missed this yesterday because I had to go to hospital. Now, I'm gonna read the last one!!
