his brown hair was all over the sheets, his skinny body bundled in the blankets and his wrists a baby pink; small lines grazed them. past is in the past, right?

the older boy looked down and brushed his hair out of his eyes, the back of his hand touching coal's cheek. coal blinked his eyes opened.

"babe?" coal gave a soft yawn and threw himself on the senior, his body still not awake.

web looked down and gave a half smile, his fingers still intangled in coal's hair. he gave a soft sigh. his heart was anchored in the deep pits of his body and he looked down.

"babe...?" coal looked over and hugged his waist, his chin resting on web's shoulder. unlike coal, he had a very strong build and it was weird to coal to hug someone so muscular--but at the same time he remembered who it was, and when he remembered he smiled.

web bit his lip. "yeah?" with a soft blink and a crooked smirk, cupping coal's cheek.

coal kissed web's nose. "are you okay?"

web stopped. tears started to pour from his eyes down his dark skin, his chest shakey and his brown eyes steaming. coal quickly wrapped his arms around him.

"darling, what's the matter?;-"

"coal." web's voice was strict and quiet. the kind of quiet you could only muster when the air was dead and his heart was fluttering.

"i don't know." web managed to speak under his soggy eyes. he swallowed hard and quickly grabbed his phone from his bedstand and handed coal the phone.

"what about this?" coal looked up and turned on the phone, looking over at the distraught man. web shook his head and fiddled with his thumbs.

coal looked down and swiped right for it to open to a text message conversation with web and his dad. the glowing screen revealed a sight coal physically felt pain at.

the first message he saw and the last between the two;

"get out of my house. pick up your stuff and go. your faggot ass isn't staying here."

"you're only sixteen, he can't do this!" coal blurted and his hands shook. web grabbed his phone and clutched coal's palm, bitting his lip.

"i don't know about what's going to happen to me, but.."

"you're coming with me."

web blinked. "excuse me?"

coal got up and took off his superman t-shirt to toss it in thr hamper.

"i'll call my parents and i'll have you stay with me."

web got up, running his fingers through his curled hair as he shook his head. coal couldn't of been that daft.

"my dad already knows i'm with you," he said and walked over, flattening his button up and tying his signature cape around his collar. "my mom might be a little skeptical but she'll learn to get it."

"i can't..you can't be serious, man."

coal hugged web's waist and hopped up to kiss his cheek. "well, what if i was?"
