„Zeke, will you sit down, please? You are driving me crazy:“

The elder boy stopped pacing around, glared at his boyfriend with wild sparkling eyes. „How can you be so unaffected by all this? It can ruin our future, our lives.“

Casey sighed. „I know,“ he agreed,“ and I am worried, too. But there is nothing we can do at the moment.“ Grabbing for Zeke's arm, he tried to pull him down onto the old couch. „C'mon, let's shut off the TV and have a nap.“

„A what?“ Zeke shook his hand off. „You want to go to sleep, now, as if nothing is going on out there?“

„A nap can be very de-stressing.“ Casey smiled, and Zeke instantly regretted his harshness. „You know, my life never was easy, and I've learned quickly that a nap can help you to see things more clearly. Whatever will happen in the next hours, we need to stay calm and find a way out of this mess. Because freaking out is never a good idea.“

Finally Zeke gave in, dropped down beside Casey, put an arm around him. „I will never get it, why people call you pathetic and weak. You are the smartest and strongest guy I've ever met.“

Casey chuckled slightly, rested his head against Zeke's shoulder, and drifted off.
