Sad but True

A/N- First off, I'd like to apoligize for not updating my story or finishing it in- *checks calander*- 2 YEARS?! Okay, I know, it's been a really long time, and I'm really sorry. My life was all messed up for the longest time, and it's finally back on track. So here it is, guys. This is the end to my story....kinda sad, really, but there's no where for it to go. Okay, enough of me blabbing my big mouth, on with the show!!!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been two weeks until Benji was allowed out of the hospital, and Joel was there for every minute of it.

/Finally out, now I just gotta get out of the car, walk to the door, make it into my bedroom, and hopefully not

pass out. Sounds eas- OH SHIT THAT HURTS!!/ Benji thought to himself as he half climbed, half fell from the car.

Getting his feet on the ground he sighed, maybe walking was a bit of a stretch. Fine, he'd settle for limping to

the door, so long as he got there.


Joel smiled as he watched his brother get out of the car and start heading for the door. He shook his head

slightly and moved to place Benji's arm over his shoulders. "Need a hand?" he asked.


"Yeah, thanks. Where were you two minutes ago when I was attempting to make my graceful exit from your car?"


"Dude, that wouldn't be considered graceful if you had on ice skates and a tutu." Joel shot back. They both

smiled and walked the last few steps to the front door. Pulling out his keys with one hand, Joel managed to open

the door and get the other man into the house. Sighing he led Benji over to the couch, making sure to shut the

door as he passed by it.


Both men sighed as they sat on the couch, and Benji leaned over to lay his head on his brother's shoulder.

"Thanks, Joely, for helpin me get into the house, no way could I have made it on my own."


"No prob, Benj. Just doin my job." He smiled as he leaned down to place a kiss on his brother's head. The lay

like this for a while before Joel got up to start on dinner. He made sure that Benji had the remote and a few

pillows before heading into the kitchen.


Benji smiled as he heard the sounds of supper being made and shut his eyes so he could focus soley on his

brother and lover. It would be a while before they would be able to have sex, but that was okay with the both of

them. They were going to take this relationship slow, being careful to keep up the front of being 'just

brothers'. He snorted at that thought. /No way that after all we've been through can we ever be 'just brothers'.

I'm glad, though. I'll never be happier with anyone that's not Joel. We'll have to be careful around mom,

though. She sees things no one else notices./


Joel looked out towards the living room and a smile graced his lips as he watched his brother laying on the

couch, enjoying the feeling of just being home. /I'm glad he's okay. I'm glad he knows how I feel. I'm glad he

feels the same way./ He sighed again and went back to finishing supper. Tonight he was going to make something

special for dinner, to celebrate the first day of the rest of their lives together.

~FIN~

A/N- Finally finished! Did you guys like the ending? I didn't want to write sex into it, seeing as how he just got out of the hospital and felt it would be a little irresponsible on Joel's part. Now that it's finished, please review? Even if you are mad that I left this hanging for so long......Just click the button and make a poor author happy. I live on reviews!
