skin & bones

Chris didn’t know what to do now. Arden had left him, he didn’t know where the man had gone, but he was upset about it. He felt that he’d shown vulnerability only to be left and he didn’t like that. So he sat in the art room, peeling the paper off of the crayons, trying to decide which one he was going to eat. Lately, his pica had been coming back with a vengeance and he wasn’t even trying to fight it since he was upset. When he felt a tap on his shoulder, the blonde brushed aside some of the crayon papers and looked up at them. “I’m kinda busy here.”

“You’re lucky I forgave you.” Otherwise, the marker may have been finding its way up the other man’s nose. He didn’t want to write anything on his cast – not unless it was YOU DESERVED IT, but he imagined that wouldn’t go over well. So, he just drew a skull right over someone else’s name. “Hopefully next time it won’t happen.” He pointed out with a shrug. “And if it does, I hope you enjoy a broken neck.” He handed the marker back.

“I know! I’m glad that you did - I love you, Dex.” He said with a smile. Chris hated it when Dexter got angry with him and he never wanted to make the man that mad again. All he wanted to do was get back in his good graces and stay there for good. “I said I was sorry! It won’t happen again,” He shook his head, taking the marker back and tucking it behind his ear so he wouldn’t lose it. “That’s mean - you can’t break my neck.”

“Yes, but why should I tell you? We all want things we can’t have.” Seb felt like his patience was being tested, but so far he hadn’t snapped or acted particularly rude. “What a friend, I’d hate to see what your enemies do.”

“Because I asked, silly!” Chris was far too nosy for his own good, but he still pushed his luck sometimes and always stuck his nose in other people’s business anyway. “I wanna know, so you should tell me.” He reiterated, trying to get his point across. After a moment he looked down at his hand, then up at the man, shoulders shrugging. “They gave me some pills so it’s okay now. No biggie, I’m forgiven now.”

“Repentance is the first step, Chris. But never think that He doesn’t love you. He’s just like any other parent, He can get angry, or sad, but He never stops caring.” Jethro’s pace was a little less than leisurely but as soon as they reached the “drop off point” and he disposed of the body temporarily, he was freer to have this discussion. 

Chris had no clue where they were going - he’d done his share of snooping around, but never in this part of the institution. He knew he just had to trust Jethro to get them where they were going. “I just worry that it’ll be too late for me to get in his good graces again,” He struggled to keep up due to how short his legs are, so after a moment he jogged to catch up to the man and not get too far behind. “I don’t wanna fuck up so badly that he really does stop loving me.”

Jax’s eyes widened. He knew Dexter, they were okay enough with each other to talk once in awhile but otherwise leave one another alone. But he also knew how volatile he was and was upset Chris had been hurt by him. “What?” He rolled his eyes as Chris tried to change the subject. He was very glad to be down here on the green level now, not locked in his room all the time, especially happy that Chris was here too, but also knew he had to keep himself calm in order to stay here and not go back. “Yeah, I’m down here now, guess I’m improving or whatever,” he cut himself off, returning the hug but irritated that he wasn’t getting the information he wanted. “No, no, go back. What the fuck Chris. Why’d Dexter do that shit to you?” Chris sometimes ran his mouth off but he couldn’t imagine him doing anything to warrant broken bones and he suddenly felt protective. Going up against Dex wasn’t something he could do, or even wanted to do but looking at the hand again made him press his lips together for a moment. “Am I gonna have to ask him?”

Chris didn’t want to talk about it, but he figured now he wouldn’t have much of a choice. He knew Jax too well to think he would get away with closing off from the situation and avoiding it. For a moment, though, it seemed that he was able to change the subject and the man’s words made him grin. “Well, I’m glad that you’re here now. You get to spend more time with me!” He loved their time together, even though recently those times had been few and far between, but now he couldn’t complain since Jax was on the same floor as him. It was exciting. “Oh -” He started, pausing for a moment to think about what he wanted to say. “i talked back to him when he was in solitary.” He said with a shrug, visibly shrinking a bit as he curled into himself, afraid that Jax might get angry or shout at him for some reason. “Please - please don’t ask him about it, he’d be mad if he knew I told on him.”

People couldn’t growl, that was ridiculous. But the noise Arden made came close, a low rumble in his throat before he moved at a surprising speed given his many complaints about his age, depositing Chris onto the bed on his back and moving to undress.

“So impatient. Can’t even take my time with my presents anymore, instead I have to rip open the packaging and play with them right away, huh?” He left his shirt on, pulling down pants and underwear enough to free himself from their confines, and caught Chris’ thighs in his hands, pulling him down to the edge of the bed.

When he was put on the bed, the blonde let out a little sound of surprise at how quickly Arden had changed their positions. He knew what he’d asked for, knew what he wanted, he just hadn’t expected such quick action. Shifting a bit, he watched as the man started to undress, a smirk settling onto his lips.

As he was pulled, the sheets rumpled under him and he had to lift up for a moment to flatten them back out, the raised bits making it uncomfortable under his back. Once he was situated, he looked back up at Arden with that same smirk, urging him on. “Mmhm, yes, daddy. Want you to play with me, please?” He didn’t mind it when others took their time, but he was hard and Arden was right, he was impatient. “Please, daddy?”

“You poor thing. Want me to kill them?”

They were kidding. Mostly. Some of them were, at least.

“How’d you even break your fingers, anyway? Curling iron accident? Use a lash curler the wrong way?”

“Nah, it’s okay.” He said with a shrug. Chris was over it, it wasn’t that big of a deal to him anymore - he was just amused with the cast they’d given him. “Oh, no - my best friend broke them ‘cause I made him mad. I shouldn’t have upset him but I did, i kinda deserved it, y’know?”

“You want me to sign what I gave you in the first place?” It was taking Dexter all he had not to take the marker and shove it down Chris’ throat. There was part of him that wished that backbone had grown just a little bit larger. Him talking back had been more amusing than derailing. “And if I decline?” Would he YELL at him again? That would be amusing. He reached to take the marker, but he didn’t move to sign anything just yet. “I could think of a few things to put on this. You sure you want me to give me that power?”

“Yes, please!” He chirped, a grin spreading across his lips. Chris knew that he should be angry, upset, anything other than happy, but he loved Dexter too much to stay angry at him for any real length of time. He just couldn’t do it. “Please, Dex?” A pout formed on his lips and he gave the man puppy dog eyes, though he knew that it would do no good in convincing him to do as he was asked. He gave over the marker easily, grin returning to his lips after a brief moment. “I want you to put your name on it! Or draw a little flower or somethin’, I dunno.”

As soon as Chris saw Dexter, he made a dash down the hallway to catch up to him. He’d been looking for him for what seemed like ages; he wanted to show him his new cast, and could never seem to catch him until now. “Dexter!” He shouted, even though he was now right behind the man. “Look!” The cast was pink, already littered with a couple of names and some little drawings that he’d put on there earlier in the day. In his free hand he held a sharpie that he’d stolen from the art room, fingers turning the marker over and over again. “You gotta sign it.”

It’s a fucking game, Chris. Don’t tell me WHAT I should be doing.

But it’s only fair! I saved you.

Life isn’t filled with loopholes. I know that better than anything. Play the game correctly or don’t play it at all.

I saved you, Dex. I saved you from being killed. It’s only fair that you save me too with the loophole.

Jethro turned, startled a bit by the sudden tug on his sleeve seemingly out of nowhere, ready to defend himself until he saw it was Chris. His surprise melted into a warm smile and he put a hand on Chris’ shoulder. “How are you today, Chris?”

Chris was tired and in a bit of pain due to his hand. He’d had the cast on for about a day now, and he was already bored of it. The novelty had worn off pretty quickly, and now he just wanted to draw on it and make himself feel better. He’d taken a sharpie from the art room and hoped that they wouldn’t notice it missing - and he actually felt quite guilty about stealing it, but he wasn’t going to bring that up yet. He just liked to be around Jethro because it was comforting. “I’m okay,” He said sheepishly, sidling up next to the man and smiling softly. “My hand hurts and stuff - I don’t like it. How are you, Father?”

If we’re playing by your mentality, you just said the game meant “fuck, marry, kill.” You don’t get to find a loophole.

There’s always a loophole, that’s how things work. I found the loophole and I saved you from being killed. That’s all that matters!

I know what the game means. I’m not a dipshit. But since you decided to CHANGE the game, I figured I could to.

I know you’re not a dipshit, I didn’t say you were! I didn’t change it, either, I just found a loophole and I saved you, Dex. I would never kill you.

Where does my comment say I killed you? You’re a drama queen.

K means kill unless you say otherwise, don’t you know the rules of the game? My feelings hurt.

“They should’ve done it the day you got hurt.” He softly mused, but maybe it took time around here to use that sort of equipment. “We could go to the art room. Everything you’d need is there.” Cameron smiled then because it did sound like fun. “I agree, flowers are pretty. It’ll look great.” Of course it wasn’t great that Chris broke a bone, but at least they could be optimistic and make the best of it.

Chris shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t know how all of this broken bone stuff worked, so he was just kind of going with the flow. They’d given him some pain killers and that was enough to calm him down and keep him from panicking over it. “Yes! I love the art room. They let me glue noodles to stuff sometimes, it’s really fun. I like to draw, too, and paint sometimes.”

I saved you with a kiss and you went and killed me! Dex, that’s rude!
