Summary
Jake has one happy place. His pride and joy and comfort. When things go south, this is what he turns to.
Marc has started to rely on Jake to be his solid force. The unshakable rock that keeps them all stable.
Steven knows better. They are all delicately balanced on a thin wire.
What happens when one of them takes a spill?

bestest shit 😭🥺 “i need patience” -jake
“Do you want some space?” She leaned towards the door flaps slightly. “I want all three of you to be comfortable.”
Jake’s hand tightened around hers slightly. “I’m not used to people acknowledging me. When I was me... As a kid.. It was like she knew. It was like she hated me just a little more. Maybe because I stood up to her once or twice. Or maybe because I tried to run. Or maybe because Marc learned how to take the hits and I still flinched each time.”
“So you learned to hide?”
He looked away. “I learned how to avoid the hits. If that meant I spent all night in a cold car or hiding in a closet or hiding on the roof then at least I wasn’t getting hit.”
“If you need room, just tell me.” She lifted his hand and softly kissed it across the knuckles. “You deserve your own space. I know what Marc needs and I know what Steven needs. You need to tell me what you need. I want you to feel safe here with us.”
Jake shifted and lay his head against her shoulder. “I need patience.”
“I can work with that.” She lightly kissed his forehead.
