Who: Beau Watson-Shaw with mentions of Austin Watson-Shaw
What: "Faithful friends who are near to us, gather near to us once more..."
Where: Watson/Shaw/Gresham home
When: Christmas morning

It was ironic that playing out in the main living room was O Holy Night, and the line 'Fall on your knees' was the line as Beau was doing just that. It had nothing to do with hearing the fucking angels, though. He tried so hard. He had been so determined that he could at least hold it together for Christmas. It was bad enough that he had to be at the hospital for his chemo dose at 7.00am so he could make it home just before lunch time for the present opening, family stuff, and meal. There was going to be no meal, though. Not when he was was already on his knees heaving up the purple Gatorade he had been drinking all morning along with the remnants of some dry crackers they gave him at the hospital with a sprig of holly stuck to the packet. Even his IV line had been adorned with tinsel and all the nurses had been in Santa hats and Christmas shirts. He had started the day out in relatively okay spirits.

The first two days of chemo had been okay... )

Beau's a little trooper. This is what Christmas is all about.

Noah had no idea where he was when he woke up. But he was warm. More warm than he had been in a very long time, and it felt like he was wrapped in cotton wool. He laid still, scared to move in case it all disappeared around him. He was in a dimly lit room that was decorated in a lot of soft and calming colours. He was in a bed too, propped up in it against a mound of pillows. It was a sleigh bed and the quilt tucked up around him looked homemade. Where the fuck was he?

It was only then that he realised something was stuck to his forehead and he reached up to pull it off... )

Confide
v. 1. to impart secrets trustfully; discuss private matters or problems. 2. to have full trust; have faith.


Christmas was harder than he thought it was going to be. He didn't make a big deal of it, but inside, he was having a tough time getting his brain to process everything. The truth was, he was scared to say anything in case they put him back in hospital for more poking, prodding, inserting, scanning, and whatever else they could come up with. He didn't want to be away from Tyler, but at the same time, he didn't know how to stay close to him anymore either.

Tyler had a pretty intense psychotic break two days before Christmas. Then he ran to one of the crack houses he used to get supplied from and fell off the wagon spectacularly in the process... )
