Chapter Two- Thank You

Upon hearing the crying, I immediately moved to open the young man's door. I stopped myself before I did, feeling my heart break for the young boy behind the door. I knocked softly, "Tim...?" I murmured, and the sobbing ceased. "Tim, may I come in? I need to clean that cut..."

I heard a few soft sniffles, then the click of the lock. The brunette peered through a crack in the door, then he sighed softly, wiping his reddened eyes. He opened the door a bit more, letting me come in. I instructed him softly to sit down on his bed as I dabbed softly at his cheek. I gently pressed the ice pack against the swelling bruise; a small sound of pain escaped the other's lips. I bit my lip, murmuring a soft apology as I kept it pressed firm against his cheek.

Tim's eyes had closed about a minute after I began to apply the ice, and I was inspecting his creamy face. He was young but scrawny; his hair was smooth and brown. He was, to be honest, extremely beautiful.

"Mark..." Came a small, scared voice.

"Hm...?" I asked softly, my eyes kindly looking into his now opened ones.

"Thank you."
