“Maybe...I don’t know. It might be too close, I also don’t want put you in a bad position like I did today.” He said. |

“Jai, you didn’t put me in any sort of situation.” Romano said, moving his hand to cup Jai’s I un-injured cheek. “I don’t blame you for what happened, I’m just glad I was there to help you. I promise you...I would have been way more upset about something happening to you.” He assured. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Jai leaned into Romano’s palm and exhaled through his nose, his body relaxing somewhat for the first time since the assault.
“Do you think she’ll come back?” He asked, looking over at him. Jai suspected he knew the answer, but it might be easier to hear it from Romano. |

"I'm not sure...but maybe." Romano said, opting for honesty rather than false comfort. "But, you know, me and your mom and even my family, we're gonna do our best to make sure she doesn't get close to you again. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again." He nodded. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Jai wanted to dispute that he wouldn’t, that he couldn’t prevent it from happening again. But right now, his face in Romano’s palm and his reassurance, was the best thing he could ask for right now. He relaxed a little more, sighing and shutting his eyes.
“Okay,” he nodded quietly in agreement before looking up at Romano. “Will you please sit with me?” He asked. |

"Yeah, of course." Romano nodded before getting up on the bed to join Jai. He wiggled in beside him, laughing a little at the tight squeeze, but settled in comfortably nonetheless. It was a welcomed closeness. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Jai didn’t hesitate to carefully rest his head on Romano’s shoulder, his fingers interlocking with his as he still held on. No matter what happened, touching Romano in any capacity would never not be comforting. |

"You know, I bet if we asked nicely, we can milk the situation a little and get my folks to order us pizza, not from Giovanni's though." Romano teased lightly, using his thumb to gently trace around Jai's knuckle. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Jai couldn’t help but let out a little chuckle, followed by a content sigh as Romano stroked his knuckle.
“What’s wrong with Giovanni’s? I thought you liked them?” He asked without looking up. |

"Nah, Giovanni's makes the worst gluten free dough. Their sauce is pretty good though, but not good enough to merit the gas and bloating from the dough." Romano chuckled. "Or maybe Dad can cook something up. His paella is my favorite thing ever." _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Whatever you want, that’s what I want.” Jai answered quietly, he sounded tired. His closed eyes and sleepy voice threatened that he may fall asleep. |

"No, it's supposed to be for you." Romano chuckled, though he tried to keep it quiet when he glanced down to see Jai's eyes closing, his face becoming more relaxed with fatigue. He reached over and gently pet at Jai's hair again. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Mhmm...” Jai replied quietly, not really hearing Romano as he nodded off. |

"I'll save you some not-Giovanni's then." Romano teased quietly, sure Jai was already gone. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Once things finally calmed down after everything with Joy, Jai and Romano fell back into some sort of normalcy. Well, so to speak, as things had gone from first dates and first kisses to lots of dates and many kisses. After the initial early dates, the sense of familiarity made it less necessary to go out to dinners or on excursions. A lot of their dates anymore were sitting on either of their front porches, holding hands and counting stars. The cool thing about their windows being across from each other is they could open the windows and just talk, Romano made it fun with different things to spice it up, tin can telephones and paper airplanes back and forth between their windows. Jai definitely felt loved and quite in love, not that he hadn’t been. The feelings he felt for Romano only ever increased with their time spent together. There’d been a few close calls though, since dating, sleepovers were a no no. At least at Jai’s house, per Verona. There’d been some instances where Romano fell asleep watching tv in Jai’s room and he had to make a swift exit out the window in the morning.
But tonight Verona was working overnight in the city, so Jai had the house to himself. Naturally, Romano was invited to spend or not spend the night. Jai was a decent cook, but with Romano’s delicate stomach he wasn’t always sure what to make. But it was hard to go wrong with sticky rice. The rice was already in it’s basket and airating while Jai busied himself at the counter, thumming some various ingredients in his mortar while he waited for Romano. |
