Safe Return..Kinda :Gabe:

[James Dillion Halsey]

Disappointed that the tickets didn't even make his boyfriend smile, there was nothing there pointing that James did a good thing. Maybe he shouldn't have gotten them, it was stealing, but it wasn't like he hurt anyone doing it. Unsure if he should go to sleep or not, he wanted to make sure his head pains went away before he went to bed, but James didn't really want to tell Gabe that after he made a deal about not going to the hospital. Nodding, "Yeah, uhm, wanna set up a movie in the bedroom? I can make dinner if you haven't eaten..." James wanted to shower too, but he'd wait until Gabe fell asleep to do that.

Even though his boyfriend clarified that he wasn't leaving, James still wasn't sure. Gabe did look pretty upset when he said it, and he still looked upset now. James didn't want to wake up alone to find out Gabe changed his mind. "I can send money to the hotel I was staying at in replace of the tickets."

Gabe's brown eyes were unwavering. "Sure," he mumbled when James asked if he wanted to watch a movie. Not really. Gabe wanted to get as far away as possible from James. He'd always figured it would be them against the world, but now it just felt like it was him and some guy he didn't know. He stood up from the couch and started for the bedroom. "You can cook if you want, I'm going to shower or something...." He felt empty. Too many times has he stuck up for James. Too many times had he bared the burden, but now just seemed like far too much. He closed his eyes and shook his head as he walked. Had he been the reason James had done this? Had he pushed James to this point? The very thought tore at his soul and the guitarist disappeared into the bathroom, pausing at the door when James spoke again.

"Don't bother, it won't change anything," he muttered. He looked over his shoulder at James. "Sorry, for acting like this. I'm just tired is all." He slowly closed the door, contemplating on whether to lock it or not. He decided not to bother with it. Hell, they were wizards and you could do anything with a wand. He leaned against the door for a moment before he began to undress, turning on the shower once he had his shirt off. Every fiber in his being wnated him to scream and shout, but instead he just moved into the shower and silently cried as the water washed over him. Gabe rarely cried, and even now he didn't know why he was doing so. Maybe it was relief that James was safe at home, or maybe he was really stressed. Whatever the case, things seemed like they were falling apart.

Opening his mouth again, James just closed his mouth and nodded, he'd go ahead and back dinner even though he could tell that neither of them were going to be eating tonight. Gabe was angry at him, and James didn't know what to do. He wished now that he hadn't told Gabe what he did, but everyone told him he needed to be honest in their relationships. He needed to get out of this, for Gabe. How did one get out of being in the Death Eater ranks without being hunted by something though? He knew he couldn't ask Hunter either. Dread filled James has he thought about how he was going to be walking away from the only other person, aside from Gabe, as family.

As soon as James heard the bathroom door shut, his own eyes were becoming wet with tears. If he did quit, even if Gabe said he didn't have to, maybe his boyfriend would be a little happier. Looking at the concert tickets, James picked them up, he would send money to the hotel. It was only fair at this point. He couldn't undo what he did, but he didn't regret doing it, he only wished he thought better about telling Gabe. Gabe didn't deserve to be hurting or scared about this, but he knew the older male wouldn't understand. They were his old foster parents, they were bad people. James couldn't go to the muggle world to press charges, he's been out of their world for years. There would be no record of him anywhere, they wouldn't believe a word he said.

What he did, stopped them every abusing their power for the kids in their care. James really did think that was justified enough. Wiping his eyes, James stood up, only for his head pains to increase and make him dizzy. Fast. His vision went from black to orange, back to black again before he fell backwards dead weight of the couch.

Gabe stayed in the shower until the water ran cold. When it did, he slowly got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around his waist. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. He looked almost miserable. Sighing he straightened up and started for the bedroom to get dressed. He didn't hear James, but nothing went through his mind at that thought. Maybe he'd left. That was okay. Getting dressed in a pair of shorts he started towards the kitchen. The towel was now hanging around his bare shoulders. "I think I'm going to-" he stopped when he saw the kitchen was untouched. Turning he went to the couch and blinked when he saw his unconscious boyfriend. Reality hit too hard and too fast. Gabe didn't think, he just moved.

James was in his arms within a moment and he apparated to the hospital. He didn't care that he had no shoes or shirt on, or that his hair was soaked with water. He just wanted make sure James was okay. "I need help," he called, trying to keep his voice steady. "He hit his head, I think he has a concussion." Panic. It was something he knew well, but often hid. He was good at hiding things, but his lack of emotional control had led James to get injured. How could he have been so stupid, so selfish!
