Backstage was tense and heavy, none of the usual bantering was going on and everyone was edgy which made them snappy. Zack had glared certain death at the security officer that had started to tell Matt he wasn’t allowed backstage and now the guard was standing unobtrusively in the corner watching the bigger man. Every dancer took their turn glaring at the guard and the tension in the room was getting tighter by the second. After only a moment backstage the guard left hastily to return to his usual position.

Zack and Brian split up and started quietly whispering to whoever they could find; first Zack caught Emil as he stalked off the stage, “Emil,” he hugged the angry man and was relieved to feel some of the angry stress leave his body and he hugged him back, “Emil we’re getting out of here.” He whispered. Emil took a step back and looked at him before he looked back toward the stage and then nodded and went to the other end of the room and started talking to Danny.

“I need to get Jimmy; I’ll meet you at your place.” Matt whispered once he saw the message spreading easily. Zack didn’t want him to leave but nodded and with a quick kiss Matt was gone.

Within five minutes all the dancers were at their stations grabbing their things and tossing them into their bags in a hurried silence. Zack tried to keep his breathing under control as his music started and the crowd cheered; everyone had to be gone in the next two minutes before security came backstage to check on him. He zipped his bag and found Brian’s hand as everyone hurried for the back exit.

Zack giggled nervously as the both jumped into the car and Brian quickly backed out of his spot and headed for the road. “It’s like skipping school all over again.”

Brian looked at him and laughed the tension in his arms relaxed.
During the ride home they both relaxed but as they pulled onto their street Zack found himself worrying again when he didn’t see Matt’s car, he probably had some trouble finding Jimmy, just get your things packed and by the time you’re done he’ll be here. Still he watched the street uneasily as the got out of the car. Brian picked up on his nervousness and also looked around a little paranoid as he slipped into the stairwell with Zack on his heels.

Despite his earlier premonition their apartment was exactly how they had left it but still Zack checked every closet and under the bed before he relaxed.

“This is ridiculous.” Brian grumbled, “We shouldn’t be terrified of this guy, we should call the police.”
“Yeah ‘cause they’ve been such a wonderful help all night.” Zack said sarcastically. Brian looked like he was going to reply with something equally as sharp but shook his head instead. Zack tossed two more shirts on the bed and grabbed the book he’d been reading too when someone knocked on the door. Brian tensed but Zack relaxed, “It’s Matt, he said he’d meet us here.” He said going to open the door. Brian relaxed and nodded and went back to packing.

Zack opened the door and suddenly his world spun. One moment he was standing in front of the door and the next he was on the floor staring at the ceiling with sharp pains shooting from the side of his head. A dark shadow passed over him and he shrieked out a warning to Brian, “Brian run!”

The breath was knocked out of him when a sturdy boot hit him solidly in the ribs and he curled in on himself; he hadn’t survived eight years of abusive relationships without learning something.

Whoever had kicked him left him once he was quiet and unmoving; he stayed still for another couple of seconds and then in one lithe movement uncurled and jumped to his feet and was slammed back onto the floor with another powerful punch. The room fuzzed and darkened for a moment before it started to spin crazily, he couldn’t really hear anything, it sounded like he had cotton balls in his ears for a moment before his sight and hearing cleared. He heard Brian swear and then a muffled ‘thud’ and the Brian was on the floor next to him gasping. He rolled over quickly and hugged Brian close to let him know he was alright. Brian hugged him close and Zack felt him shiver.

Someone grabbed his shoulders and tried to pull him away from Brian; he growled and twisted his neck around and snapped at the fingers. The man swore and kicked him in the back; he yelped in pain and buried his head in Brian’s neck.

“You mess him up too much and the boss will have your hide.” Someone rumbled. Brian hugged him tighter and Zack shuddered, he had a damn good idea who ‘boss’ was. He didn’t know where Matt was but he prayed silently to whoever would listen that he was safe.

“He just wants the one right?” a less gruff voice asked. Whatever the answer was it was nonverbal, but Brian screamed when someone brought their heavy foot down on his exposed side. His grip loosened and he was dragged away and Zack was alone again.

“Don’t hurt him.” He whimpered. He could hear Brian’s labored breathing punctuated with cries of pain and the muffled thump of bone and muscle coming down on an unprotected body. A new sound entered the room, a rumbling growl of fury and Zack shook in terror.

But no one hit him. Instead there were cries of surprise and pain as a husky voice, rougher with fury, swore at someone. Zack uncurled from his protective ball and sought out Brian. He was almost on the other side of the room, his eyes were closed and his breathing was ragged, his eye was starting to blacken and his nose and lip dripped blood onto the carpet. Zack ignored the angry fight going on around him and stumbled to his friend’s side.

“Brian, Brian can you hear me? It’s Zacky, Brian wake up.” Tears stung his eyes and he pulled Brian’s limp body into his arms and kissed his forehead, “It’ll be okay Brian.” He whispered, “We’ll be okay.”

“Zacky,” Matt’s calm voice was a grounding force and some of his panic subsided, “go with Jimmy and Johnny, I’ll get Brian.” He kissed his temple and Zack willingly let him take his battered friend out of his arms. Brian whimpered when his torso was moved but didn’t wake up. Zack closed his eyes and looked inside himself for the numb place he always disappeared to when he was being used as a punching bag.

After a moment he shakily stood and looked around. There were two men lying on the floor, they were dressed similarly with black pants and black button up shirts and black boots. One had sandy blond hair but his face was too broken and bloodied for Zack to find any other discerning details. The other had darkish brown hair and looked to be a little bigger than his companion; though lying on the floor in a bloody mess didn’t make him nearly as intimidating as he had been.

Someone gently grabbed his arm and he nearly collapsed back onto the floor into his protective ball but realized half way down that Johnny had grabbed him and he ended up falling heavily on his butt. Johnny still had a hold of his arm and gave him an alarmed look but he shook his head, “A life saving reaction.” He said with a spark of his usual humor. Johnny blinked and then shook his head in understanding and helped him back up, “We need to get to the car, Jimmy got your stuff.” He said tiredly. Zack nodded and let the smaller man lead him out.

Given the situation Zack thought both Matt and Jimmy were acting like nothing out of the ordinary was going on. He slipped into the backseat where Brian was stretched out and pulled him onto his lap; Johnny got in on the other side and did the same thing. Matt and Jimmy were talking about the basketball game that started in an hour. Zack sat and stared at them as they continued their conversation while Matt pulled out onto the street and pointed them toward his house.

He stared at them through the short half hour drive and continued to stare at them when Matt parked the car in his driveway. Neither noticed his bewildered look until Matt turned around to check on him. He blinked and gave him his own confused look, “What?”

“You just beat the hell out of two people that were going to kidnap me and probably kill Brian and you’re talking about basketball?” he voice rose on the last word but that was the only indication to panic that he let get through. He looked over to Johnny to see how he was taking this but Jimmy was gently pulling his sleeping form out from under Brian’s legs. He looked back at Matt, “What the hell is going on?” suddenly he was exhausted. He had no idea what he had gotten himself into but he didn’t want to deal with it at the moment. Matt got out of the car and walked around the front and opened his door, “We all deal with things differently.” He whispered, “Johnny probably won’t leave Jimmy’s side for the rest of the week and I’ll be surprised if he’s not up all night with nightmares.” Gently he kissed his cheek and Zack relaxed a little.

“C’mon love, we need to get Brian inside and we need to get both of you cleaned up.” He grabbed Brian’s shoulders and pulled him into his arms and Zack slowly got out of the car and followed him.

Inside Jimmy was sprawled out on the couch with Johnny’s head tucked under his chin. The smaller man’s brow furrowed and he made a small sound of discomfort, Jimmy ran a hand down his back and he relaxed again. Jimmy himself looked like he was half asleep and Zack wanted to go to Matt’s bedroom and curl up on the bed and go to sleep. But Brian needed to be taken care of and that superceded any of his immediate needs. He left the two on the couch in peace and went to the bathroom to help Matt.

He walked into the bathroom and then ran over to Brian when he saw him sitting on the edge of the sink while Matt rummaged through the various bandages and gauze he had. Brian squeezed Zack tight against him and Zack nearly collapsed in relief when he felt the strength in his arms, “I love you Brian.” He whispered.

“Love you too Zacky V.” he snickered. Zack smiled and kissed his neck and rested his head on his shoulder to watch Matt. Expertly he ran a small cloth under cool tap water and gently wiped the dried blood off Brian’s face before he poured a small amount of alcohol onto a patch of gauze and dabbed at the few cuts on his face before applying a thin layer of Neosporin. The entire process took all of five minutes and Zack was impressed. He’d stumbled back to their apartment with similar wounds and it usually took them fifteen minutes.

“That was fast.” He said quietly. Matt looked at him and laughed a little, “Jimmy and me used to get into fights pretty much every day. We had to clean ourselves up a little before we went home.”
Brian hopped off the counter and wobbled a little but Zack held him securely in a hug and he stayed standing.

“Zack,” Matt said pointing at the counter, “you’re next. Brian the guest room is the next room over.”
Reluctantly Zack let go of Brian so he could get some much needed sleep and jumped up on the counter. He could feel where his face was swollen but he didn’t think it was too bad, he’d only been hit twice and kicked a couple of times. Matt repeated the same process he had used on Brian and in no time at all Zack was done.

Matt put the medical stuff away and Zack stayed on the counter and watched him, “They didn’t hurt you.” He asked quietly after a moment. Matt shook his head, “They weren’t expecting us.” He said in a low voice. Zack bit his lip and Matt walked over to stand in front of him, “I’m sorry I wasn’t there sooner.” He murmured, Zack shook his head and wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled Matt closer, “You came.” He whispered, he gave him a wry smile and kissed his cheek, “Given the previous guys I’ve dated it was more than I was hoping for.” He scooted forward and wrapped his legs around Matt’s slim hips and kissed him firmly on the lips. He felt Matt smile but he pulled away before Zack could deepen the kiss.

“I’m betting Brian won’t sleep without you.” He whispered. Zack growled and gently bit down on his ear gage. Matt let out a sound that was both a purr and a moan and Zack kissed him again and again Matt pulled away.
“Tomorrow angel.” He whispered. He gave him a chaste kiss on the corner of his mouth. Zack sighed but accepted the compromise, he was right; Brian wouldn’t go to sleep again until Zack was next to him and he could feel his own body begging for rest. Matt easily pulled him off the counter and Zack tightened his legs around him making his eyes darken, Zack smiled coyly and untangled his legs and put his feet back on the floor before kissing Matt’s neck, “Tomorrow.” He whispered lightly squeezing Matt’s crotch. The bigger man groaned quietly and Zack darted out of the bathroom before either of them could do more.
