"I dont wanna talk bout nthin else!" he said adamently with tears in his eyes. "It's gonna hurt..." Luke smiled behind his frown watching as the vial slowly filled with his blood.
Luke hobbled along behind them, not missing the contented look in Troy's eyes. Troy's arms were wrapped around Bo tight, as if he had known him all his life.
Luke swallowed wondering what on earth made Bo say such a thing. Whatever it was made Troy latch onto Bo more than ever, feeling that Bo would take care of him.
Troy hid his face against Bo. Even the sight of the hospital and all the white coats gave him the willies. "S'ok Troy," said Luke patting the boy's head.
Troy didn't know what it was that made him hug Bo. He never would have hugged a stranger if his life depended on it. But Bo Duke didn't seem a stranger to him.
