Summary
Nick was indeed still awake. Awake, and on his porch hammering nails into the new railing he was almost finished building. He spotted the outline of Troy approaching to his left, and made no sign of stopping his work as he spoke. “Here to tell me I’m disturbing the peace?” He asked, tone tired.
Troy came to a stand at the edge of the porch, just watching Nick work. He didn’t want to speak. Didn’t honestly know why he even came out here. He’d just found his feet carrying him here instead of up to his bedroom after his father was done hitting him.
“You just going to stand there or…” Nick began as he turned to face Troy. He came to a sudden stop, eyes growing wide as he got a proper look at the other man. “What the hell happened?” He asked, taking in the sight of a beaten and bloodied Troy.
“Bad timing.” Troy said lightly with a small shrug, not meeting Nick’s gaze as the younger man stepped forward and took Troy’s face in gentle hands to inspect the damage.
