(TW: transphobia and implied abuse)
If I told you this was the first time that Davey has showed up at my house unexpectedly, I'd be lying.
If I told you this was the first time that Davey has showed up at my house with tear-stained cheeks, a black eye, and a few bags in hand, I'd be telling the truth.
He sniffed as Jack cupped his cheek with his hand, wiping away tears with his thumb.
"Dave, baby, what the hell happened to you?" Jack says, softly. Davey seems like he's trying to speak, but can't get words out. I've been in that situation too many times. Jack and I bring Davey over to the couch, setting his bags on the floor. Medda brings over an ice pack for the black eye. He doesn't seem to have any other injuries, which is good.
"Talk to us, sweetie. Take your time. We want to help you." Medda gently holds the ice pack to his eye. Davey slightly tenses up at the cold, and Jack squeezes his hand.
"Mama...Papa..." He mumbles, taking the ice pack from Medda. Jack's face turns from worried to stern.
"What the fuck did they do to you."
"Found out..." He bites his lip.
"That you're trans?"
Davey nods. We all share knowing glances to each other. Charlie goes and grabs a fluffy blanket, wrapping it around Davey's shoulders.
"The bags..." I observe. "Did they kick you out?"
Davey nods again, a small sob escaping his lips.
"And they hit you..."
"Mhm."
"Oh my god..." Jack gently wraps his arms around his boyfriend, pressing a kiss to his cheek.
"Can...can I..." Davey looks at Medda.
"Of course you can stay with us, sweetie. Stay as long as you need."
"Thank you."
"You can sleep in my room." Jack turns his whole body to the brunette. "It's not like you've never done it before." The two of them grab Davey's bags and head upstairs.
I'm so fucking angry, but I have to contain it. I can't just lash out, especially not now. I take a few deep breaths as I hear the door to Jack's room close.
Well, at least Davey is in a safe, accepting environment now. That's what's important, right?
