 " What makes you think things will get better with you gone?" she replied solemnly. " If you hadn't been there then I wouldn't have my baby around. When he went to jail, you were the one that proved his innocence. When he was kidnapped, you saved him. The reason he wanted to harm himself was because you wouldn't be there.
"He still has bad luck, but I think he's getting good luck, too. People are actually willing to spend time with him instead of avoid him like back here. Markus has told me about how much higher his grades have gotten and how many people talk to him just when he's walking down the hallway.
"But I don't want you to stay with him and feel forced. If you really think that leaving Ethan alone is best, then I won't argue. Just tell me so I can book his flight home."

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵ The Korean was silent, trying to decide what really was best for Ethan. Mrs. Wilhelm was right, the young Texan had changed for the better. He had friends, he was doing great in school, he was happy. They were both happy. In fact, Lock had never been happier then when he had Ethan. Lock looked up at the clock. It was almost seven, almost time for visiting hours to start. He stood up, walking over to one of his boxes and opening it to see Ethan's shirt that he was bringing with him. Tears came to his eyes, and he nodded. " I'll stay, ma'am. I'll keep him safe as long as I'm able." He lifted the shirt, holding it to his chest and smiling softly. " Do I have your permission to fight back if Markus tries to make me leave again?" His lip and head still ached from the one-sided fight from before.

" Don't you worry about Markus." Mrs. Wilhelm said, her smile audible. " I'll take care of him myself. And tell Ethan that his parents will be there in a couple days to check on him. Oh, and Lock," She smiled softly, even if it couldn't be seen. " Thank you." She hung up.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵He smiled back, silent as she hung up on him. Putting the phone away, Lock looked around the room, then grabbed his suitcase and started for the bedroom. He'd unpack later, but right now? He had to get showered, dressed, and make his way over to Ethan to tell him how much he loved him. ~~~ About thirty minutes later, a showered and pressed Lock spritzed on cologne that Ethan liked and ran a hand through his slightly damp hair, then walked out the door. He pushed one hand into his back jeans pocket, dressed casually like Ethan seemed to enjoy. He pulled his phone out, sending a text to his brother that he wasn't going to New York, then got into his car and turned it on. He then sped away to the hospital, wanting to be beside his lover as soon as possible.

๑۩۞۩๑ Σthan ωilhelm  Ethan plodded down the familiar hallway that led to his dorm. There were barely any people out of their rooms. He was glad, he didn't want to deal with those questions, or even those stares. He didn't want to deal with anything, honestly. He didn't even want to go to his dorm, but the hospital wasn't a better place. His legs stopped and when he looked up he found himself staring at a door that had his and Lock's name. Lock. He knew full well the Korean was trying hard to stay optimistic, and he himself should cheer up, but it was hard. He could barely register anything without those memories hitting him like a truck. It was hard enough trying to sleep without waking up screaming. Right now he was exhausted from his lack of sleep, and now he was expected to go to school?

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵The door to the dorm swung open, and instead of Lock greeting Ethan, a little bark could be heard. Had Ethan looked down, he would've seen a tiny reddish-orange puppy, yipping excitedly at the Texan. She plodded over to him, bouncing and trying to jump onto him, but only managed to set her small paws on Ethan's shoe. She barked again, wagging her little tail happily. " She likes you," said Lock from the living room, standing and walking over. He bent and scooped up the puppy, scratching her belly and cooing. His golden eyes then returned their gaze to Ethan, a hopeful smile on his lips. " Want to hold her?" he asked as the puppy yipped again, big eyes watching Ethan for response.

๑۩۞۩๑ Σthan ωilhelm Ethan jumped a little when he heard the bark and looked down when he saw a ball of fuzz barrel towards him. He moved his shoe a little when the ball tried to climb on his leg, but stopped when he realized what it was. It was a dog. No, a puppy. It must've been no more than a week old. What was it doing here? He had just crouched down to observe the hyper creature when he heard Lock's voice. He turned his head to see the blonde pick the puppy up and stood to his full height when offered to hold it - or her. Ethan pursed his lips. His eyes weren't as bright and energetic as they used to be, instead replaced by a dull shield over paranoia. They went to the dog that was staring at him curiously. Maybe it was just the lighting, but for a second his eyes sparkled. " Sure." he said dryly and reached his hands out to pick up the puppy. He lifted her up to be eye level and stared at those beady eyes before lowering her a little to look at Lock. " Why is there a puppy here?" he asked while trying to balance her on his good arm.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵" Because she's ours," he answered, reaching out to scratch her behind the ears before grabbing Ethan's bag and walking into the dorm. He set the bag onto the couch, then gestured to their bedroom. " She has a little bed in there to sleep in, but she has nightmares easily, so she'll probably only sleep well when she's cuddled up to one of us, and I already bought her a leash, a new collar, and she has a little pee pad in the kitchen that I don't mind taking care of." He stopped, turning back to Ethan and holding up a thin orange collar with a silver tag that was clear of writing. " All she's missing is a name."

๑۩۞۩๑ Σthan ωilhelm Ethan scratched underneath the pup's small chin. She was really soft and fluffy. He looked up when Lock explained everything about the dog then looked at the collar held up to him. So they had a dog now? Was that even allowed in dorms? Why did Lock get this dog, anyway? So Lock could have company while he had another breakdown? " ... I don't know. Why don't you give her a name?" Ethan said and held the puppy back out to Lock, his expression not changing much. " I'm tired. I think I'll go sleep or something."

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵Lock held his hands up and shook his head. " I did every thing else. Her name is all to you." He stepped back, sitting on the arm of the couch and sitting on top of his hands. Meanwhile, the puppy kicked her legs and whined, whimpering as she looked back to Ethan, her big eyes watery as they stared at the Texan, as if asking him to take her with him. She really liked this new human. He looked nice, if not a little sad, but she still really liked him. He looked like a good cuddler!

๑۩۞۩๑ Σthan ωilhelm Some irritation flickered in Ethan's eyes. Didn't Lock hear him? He's had a long day, he just got out of the hospital! He wanted to sleep, for God's sake! Couldn't Lock name the dog, he pretty much owns her already! Hearing the dog's whimpers and looking down at her, Ethan sighed through his nose and set the dog down on the ground gently. " I'll name her later." he said then went to the bedroom. Right now he just wanted to sleep everything away... or to at least get away from everything. As he stepped into the nostalgic room, he let out another deep exhale and sat on the bed. He hunched forward and rested his forearms on his knees, hanging his head. It was too hard, being happy again. He couldn't, for the life of him, get the energy to be his old self let alone smile. He couldn't even get excited about anything. That puppy? Usually he'd be playing with her already! And all he could do now was try to get her away.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵The puppy stood still for a moment, the plodded after Ethan and waited for him to sit before cantering over to him and barking once. Her tail wagged as she panted up at the Texan, then sat and tilted her head at him. Now he looked really sad! Why was he so sad? She scooted closer to him, hopping a little and putting her front paws on his foot and whimpering quietly. Stop acting like that! she thought, wanting to cheer up the depressed human.

๑۩۞۩๑ Σthan ωilhelm Ethan opened his eyes when he heard a bark and moved his eyes forward just a little to see the dog whimpering up at him. " What are you doing here?" he muttered quietly and tried to push the dog away with his foot. " I'm not in the mood for this. Go play with your master." Jeez, he probably ticked Lock off, didn't he? All he wanted was for him to name the stupid dog and he couldn't even do that!

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵She yipped as she was pushed, determination on her little face. He wasn't going to get rid of her that easily. She was a runt, but stubborn. The puppy nudged Ethan's foot with her nose before deciding to take matters into her own paws. She started jumping and trying to catch the blanket on the bed, trying her hardest to climb onto the bed. She stopped for a second, pacing around the bed twice before realizing there was nothing to help her in her quest. The puppy then returned to her original plan, and resumed trying to jump onto the bed to curl up next to Ethan.

๑۩۞۩๑ Σthan ωilhelm " Can't you leave me alone?" Ethan's expression was pained as he looked at the persistent pup. " Why do you keep trying to spend time with me? I can't play with you, I can't take care of you, I can't do anything! Why do you want to be with me so much?" He dropped his head in his hands and started crying out his frustration. " Why can't I do anything anymore?" he cried quietly.
