Dreams for the Heart

A Promise

Characters: Jewel, Jerry, and Sloth

Sloth was in a mood, thinking of his kid he never got to meet. He tugged his hoodie strings staring at the floor fighting the urge to go smoke.. he had been trying to quit with Cami on the way... So he pulled his hoodie up to just block out the world and brood in his thoughts alone.

A weight on the cough shifted him but too heavy to be Jewel and Masculine arms held his head to their chest

"....Its okay" Jerry's voice spoke softly making Sloth tremble and hold him around his waist leaning into his chest more

Another weight sat to the other side, lighter and a gentle hand rubbed Sloths back, Sloth could feel the ring on their finger as they rubbed. It wasn't her wedding ring from their ex husband that they hated... It was a promise ring Sloth had gotten her himself...

He let out a few shaking breaths letting the two comfort him until his tears stopped and his breaths were slow, having fallen asleep on Jerry

Jewel looked at the other with a sad smile and leaned pecking Jerry's cheek.. somewhere between friendly and unsure, before shifting and leaned on Sloth shutting her own eyes.

Jerry looked at the two and shifted Sloth to hold Jewel and stood. Looking down at the two cuddling. "..Dorks..." He shook his head and went to go start on dinner

Fiddling with his own promise ring on his finger
