XP: A new story. Imma trying out the hurt/comfort. Unfortunately, homework calls so I can only give a prologue. Will update this in a few days, I hope! So, where did the inspiration of this story come from? Me. LOL. Because, I felt like i was gonna lose my voice as well.
Enjoy!
It started that early morning when Tala returned home after being missing for a whole day. It was 3 am, and upon hearing the door creak open, Spencer woke up from his light doze on the sofa while he was waiting for Tala. Tala smiled softly as he looked at the dazed and disoriented Spencer, a hint of sadness in his baby blue eyes.
"T-Tala?" Spencer mumbled, voice hoarse from being unused. He rubbed his eyes, and they focused on the dripping wet figure in front of him. Tala had bruises on him, and a swollen and cut lip, and his clothes were torn in different places. His clothes was ruffled and had bloodstains here and there, and Spencer hurried over to Tala once he thought he knew what was going on.
"Tala? Did you get into a fight?" Spencer asked worriedly, reaching over to Tala to remove his coat and scarf. To his surprise, Tala flinched and took a step back, shaking his head lightly with a tight smile. "Was it Bryan?" Spencer asked.
Tala shook his head quietly, eyes looking thoughtfully to the floor.
"... I think you're tired. Why don't you just wash up and head to bed?" Spencer suggested, hoping Tala was just tired. He did have dark circles under his eyes afterall. Tala nodded, a faint smile on his lips, as if trying to reassure Spencer. He knew Spencer would interrogate him later in the day. He softly padded across the carpet to his room, as Spencer closed the door to their apartment, shutting out the rain and thunder.
"Rest well, Tala," Spencer whispered, afraid of waking up Ian. He didn't have to worry about Bryan, he had returned home dead drunk at 1 am and would sleep like the dead. Tala nodded, lips pursed tightly. Spencer sat back down at the sofa, confused. Why didn't Tala speak at all? He already missed Tala's voice. Usually, when he waited up for Tala, Tala would come home rambling about things like a chatterbox. It would make him smile. And then Tala would smile too. And Ian would be woken up and they'd all kinda have a pillow/furniture fight and then Bryan would wake up and they'd have a larger scale fight and he would need to apologize to the neighbors...
Spencer sighed. He doubted he would be able to sleep tonight from all the worrying he was doing.
I'm sorry Spencer... Tala looked back at Spencer's hunched figure sadly.
I lost my voice tonight.
Tala was not looking forward to the hell that would erupt tomorrow.
