Two weeks come and go so quickly. And soon enough, Evan is leaving for Wyoming. Jared is then stuck with Conner. They all tend to sleep in Conner's bed when Evan IS there, and he assumes Jared is just gonna go back to his own since Evan is away. Jared does go back to his own but it's so... empty. He feels lonely.
"........hey Connor.."
"hm?"
"Can I.. Do you have any more room in your bed?"
"... Yeah? Uh sure, Jared."
".........Can I, uh, can I come over there?"
"......... Yeah." Jared quietly moves over to get in bed with Connor. This is more comfortable than he thought. Conner has no idea how to feel. It's strange. Normally Evan is between them. This is... New. They're both facing away from each other but both eventually scoot closer.
"... Fuck this, I'm asking cause you won't. Jared, do you want me to hold you?"
"Uh......yeah."
"Fuckin hell." Conner turns around and wraps his arms around Jared. He's so relieved.
"....Kleinman?"
"Hm?"
"Is this comfortable? I'm... Holding you how Evan likes, is this fine?"
"Yeah yeah, it's... it's fine."
"All right...." he swallows nervously. "I... I miss him."
"I do too.."
"... Did he call yet tonight?"
"No...."
"We should call him. What time is it in Wyoming?"
"Well, its 11 here, so It's 9 in Wyoming."
"Yeah, he'll be home. Let's call." Jared gets his phone to call him, putting him on speaker phone. He picks up on the second ring, sounding so tired.
"I shaved for you, are you happy?"
"Yeah." He smiles.
"Is Conner still up? Did he take his meds this morning?"
"Sure did."
"Conner!"
"Hey, Ev."
"Miss you Baby."
"I miss you too."
"Aw, you two. Are you getting along like you said you would?"
"Yeah..."
"Sure..."
"Uh... Okay! Good! "
"How's Wyoming?"
"Same as I left it. Lonely."
"I don't like the sound of that, Evan."
"Are you the only one there??"
"What? Of course! I'm staying in a hotel by myself."
"I meant in the park."
"Oh. Right. Right right, I... Right now yeah. I'm heading through the gorge to leave. It's very peaceful."
"Evan why are you in the park alone at 9 a night??"
"That's not what I meant Evan."
"Well... I don't know what you do mean then. I'm alone at the park, I'm heading through to leave. I'm at the far end though... It's a good thing I've memorized this place."
