"Will you?"

"You were so protective of him as a kid, wouldn't let me go near... them, now I get to kill Conrad? Fuck yeah!"

"Calm down,"

Joel laughed. "Right. Right, well, I guess... still my sibling whether we like it or not.. I'll get rid of 'him'."

"Be careful, Jackie, Conrad's boyfriend is Jeff Tracy's kid, he's staying with them."

"Right, Tracy Island won't be too difficult to find," he gained a questioning look. "I'm being serious, I'll find it.."

"Alright,"

It was late in the evening of the same day Virgil patched Conrad up, they had to go back to get some things and his sister, who, was probably still terrorising Virgil.

Jackie was in the kitchen making chocolate chip pancakes at god knows what time for himself, and some for anyone else who was up.

Conrad was fast asleep in Jackies hammock, John in the bed fast asleep on the opposite side of the room.

He didn't bother him, John didn't snore and neither did Conrad, so personally, they didn't care.

Jackie headed upstairs to the main room, finding Scott and Kiara in their lowered living room.

"Why are you still up?" Scott asked, Jackie shrugged and headed back to the kitchen, slipping two pancakes onto a plate for Scott, and another two for Kiara.

"Here," he smiled and gave them the plates.

"Okay what do you want?" Kiara asked suspicious of why Jackie gave them pancakes.

"Nothing," jackie laughed,

"why? Are you complaining?" Scott asked. "I'll take them,"

"They're mine." Jackie shook his head and left back to the kitchen, picking up his plate of pancakes and headed to his shared bedroom.

Conrad stirred as the hammock shifted, he didn't wake up though. Jackie smiled as his arms wrapped around his waist and laid his head on his chest.

He turned to see John had woken up from the smell of pancakes. "Want them?" He asked John quietly.

John smiled and sat up, "I'm not gonna be able to eat them, may as well," he urged, holding the plate out to him.

"Okay," John took the plate off of him, allowing Jackie to move further down so he was no longer sat up and his head was actually on the pillow.

Conrad woke up.. kinda, sitting up abruptly while Jackie moved, laying down ontop of him once he was comfy.

"Sorry," Jackie smiled quietly, doing his best to ignore the happy purrs John occasionally let out.

"Enjoying yourself?" He snorted quietly, pulling the blanket over Conrad's shoulders, John laughed quietly.

"Yes."

Jackie smiled and cuddled up to the smaller male that slept on top of him, soon finding himself drifting off to sleep too.
