Running Away - Chapter Six

	The two entered the bookstore what seemed to Jesse miles apart.
'Can't believe that just happened.' He kept thinking. "Hey watch out!"
someone yelled. Jesse tripped over a small display of books and fell
forward, hitting his head on the table before him. "Ouuuahhh" He groaned,
rubbing his head, which by now was throbbing with his latest fall. "Oh!"
Oliver turned and seeing Jesse on the ground, ran back and dropped to the
floor. "Are you okay?"  He asked, his eyes shown with genuine concern. "I
was uh, just admiring the view of the ceiling from down here you know..."
He smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his discomfort. 'Why am I so ditzy in
front of him?" Jesse secretly cursed himself. "C-come here." Oliver helped
Jesse to the nearby bench. "I'll be okay. Ah" Jesse winced as he he
attempted to wink. "You just hit your head on a table, most people don't
think of that as a minor incident." Oliver said, trying to tend to the
already darkening bruise. "It's turning black!" he said, a little
frustrated that he couldn't do anymore than stare at it. "Here sir, this
may help you." A employee from the bookstore handed Jesse a bag of
ice,"Thanks" Oliver responded, pressing the makeshift ice pack to Jesse's
forehead. "Ah, it's cold." Jesse winced again as the bag made contact.
"Crybaby." Oliver smiled and held the bag in place. "Hey, don't make fun of
someone in pain." Jesse teased. "Here, rest a little okay?"  Oliver braced
himself against the corner of the bench and let Jesse lean his head on his
chest, remembering to keep a hand on the ice. A tingling sensation ran
itself through Jesse's system as he allowed himself to rest on the
all-to-welcoming chest that was to be his refuge. As he lay, he felt the
young teen body's vigor wash over him. The gentle rising and falling of the
body lulled him into a light slumber.
	"Hey, are you feeling better?" A voice called to Jesse, it echoed
in his head, and sounded so, familiar. As the voice spoke, it became
clearer, more defined. "helloo?" It asked again, Jesse opened his eyes,
coming out of his sleep. His eyes focused on the face that was still
clearing up. "Are you okay?" Oliver's voice asked. "Unh.."  Jesse grunted
as he struggled to sit up. "What time is it?" He asked, rubbing his
eyes. "Around 10." Oliver said standing up. "What!?" Jesse jumped up, only
to collapse back on the bench again, dropping the newly bought jacket that
Oliver used to cover him as he slept. "Ouu" he moaned again. "No sudden
movements." Oliver said, squatting in front of him. Oliver picked up the
jacket off the floor. Painfully, and with many pauses, they finally reached
Jesse's car, and drove home, slowly. As the car pulled into the driveway,
Oliver ran over to the other side of the vehicle and bracing Jesse, they
walked into the house. "I don't think, I can make it up on that high bed,
my head is still pounding." Jesse said, falling into the couch's welcoming
pillows. "It's okay." Oliver sat down beside him, placing his hands on
Jesse's knee, reassuring him that he was there for him. Without thinking,
Jesse moved his hand on top of Oliver's. "Ollie, I uh... about before..."
he started, but that only made the pounding in his head worse. "I was just
thinking about um..." his voice trailed away as he felt himself get a
little more lightheaded. 'Stupid fall' he though again. Oliver understood,
and pulled himself closer into Jesse's arms. Knowing that Oliver had
accepted their kiss, their relationship, Jesse could let go, and with that
he fell asleep again, with a smile on his face, and the boy of his dreams
in his arms.
