Not Exactly Baby Bourne Anymore

Matt was wandering around in search or Evan when he heard the smaller man's cries. Following the sound of his voice Matt rushed to Evan's side as quickly as he could. "Evan, Evy it's alright," Matt said softly, pulling Evan close to him. "I've got you now, it's alright," Matt whispered. "What happened?"

"Knox attacked me..." Evan whimpered, shaking with sobs "He hit my ankle with my crutch, Mattie it hurts!!!"

Matt wanted to murder Mike Knox for even THINKING about hurting Evan, much less actually DOING it, but right now he had to help Evan.

"Shhhh now, it's alright, I'll take you to the trainers and let them make sure he didn't do anymore damage," Matt whispered, standing up slowly with Evan in his arms.

"Mattie I'm sorry..." Evan whimpered in Matt's arms "I didn't mean to get hurt..."

"I know, I know," Matt said. "I'm not upset Evy, not with you."

"I want to go home..." Evan whimpered "I should never have come here...."

"Shhh Evan," Matt replied. "We'll get your ankle checked out and then I'll take you home."

Evan simply shook his head and continued to cry, feeling completely miserable.

"Evy, baby, look at me," Matt murmured.

Still crying, Evan softly hiccuped and looked up into Matt's brown eyes

"This wasn't your fault," Matt said, wiping away Evan's fallen tears. "You didn't know this was going to happen."

"But if I'd just listened to you...." Evan rested against Matt's chest "None of this would've ever happened."

"Evan," Matt said softly. "Stop blaming yourself."

"Okay..." Evan whispered, wrapping his arms around Matt's neck "I love you Mattie."

"I love you too, stubborn head," Matt chuckled. "You know I love you for it."

Evan finally smiled back and snuggled onto Matt's shoulder "You're so good to me" he whispered "I'm lucky to have someone like you."

Matt smiled.

"I'm the lucky one Ev, I have your beautiful smile to wake up to every morning," Matt said.

"My Mattie..." Evan giggled, curling up even more like a child in Matt's arms "Together forever."
