"I don't torment em! I just make em run so they stop lookin' like Boss and Lulu!"

Bo countered with a smirk

Luke squirmed at Bo's voice again.

"We-ell that's mighty nice of ya t' consider their waistlines... now if ya'd only consider their mental state mmaybe they'd lay better than they do!"

"Hey I don't do it anymore so much...." Bo whined back, not appriciating being told off about it.

Daisy softly shhed Luke, starting to rock him.

Jesse chuckled. "Well I s'pose if ya never did it them birds wouldn't know what to do with themselves."

A loud crash of thunder rocked the house, Luke's hands immediately going in front of his face in his sleep.

Bo swallowed and looked over, biting his lip.

"Daisy move away from him..."

Daisy frowned a little and swiftly moved away while Bo scrambled forward and held Luke close.

"S'alright Buddy..."

"Bo....you be careful," warned Jesse watching Luke's hands.

Another boom sounded, and with it Luke tensed in his sleep, his hands shielding his head this time with the blanket, his heart racing though no one but Bo who was holding him could feel it.

Bo nodded, wincing a little as he continued to hold his cousin, knowing he needed to wake Luke up and quickly.

"Luke...Lukas....Luke...c'mon buddy...c'mon Luke listen to me..."

Luke's response was to tense his arms and legs, his hands balled into fists.

Bo swallowed hard, shaking his head and reaching up to rub the back of Luke's neck, not wanting to have another round of trying to hold Luke down.

"Come on Luke please..."

***flashback****

Luke lay in his bed his hands shielding his face, crying out, "No! No!" Jerking about on the bed he tossed and turned so much he knocked himself straight onto the floor, his hands still to his head, clenched into fists, huddled into a ball. "No!"

Bo jerked up in bed, swallowing as he saw Luke once more on the floor, thrashing around. He knew what Luke had told him about waking him up....knew what Uncle Jesse had said...knew what had been happening to himself, his ribs compained often enough...but he couldn't just sit and watch Luke like that.

Swallowing hard he crossed to Luke and attemtped to grab his flailing hands.

"Luke...Lukas its me... Bo....Lukas c'mon.."

At the feel of someone holding him down once more, Luke's fight or flight mode kicked in...and this time he fought. With one hard punch he sent Bo sailing across the room.

Bo landed against the opposite wall with a loud thud, smacking his head against said wall hard enough to make him near black out. His mouth was bleeding and he was sure he had broken ribs this time. Swallowing however, he stumbled back to Luke and touched his shoulder softly.

"Luke please listen...please...its me...its Bo..."

Luke swung out at the captor who had hold of his shoulder. "No!"

Bo cried out a little in pain as Luke swung out and hit his now definitly broken ribs, swallowing hard as he kept trying to wake Luke up.

"Luke c'mon now..please..."

Luke stayed as he was thrashing about. "Get away!"

Bo sighed and tried to grab Luke's flailing wrists knowing that if he didn't get Luke under some sort of restraint then he was going to hurt himself which would defeat the whole purpose of Bo trying to wake him up in the first place.

Swallowing he caught one of Luke's arms and joined their hands, trying desperatly to reach the other.

"Come on cousin help me out here..."

Feeling the grip on his arm he swung out with his left. "No...no stop! Stop!"

Bo jerked backwards as the arm came out at him, grabbing it and holding that one two, holding Luke's hands in his own and struggling with him.

"Luke...c'mon now listen to me Lukas..."

"Let go...please...let me go...I wanna go home.." pleaded Luke.

Bo swallowed hard as he heard his cousin beg, something he had very rarely ever heard Luke do. Sighing he lessend the grips softly on his hands.

"You are home cousin...its just a dream..."

"I wanna go home...." he continued hiding his face in his hands.

Bo sat down on the bed again beside him, rubbing Luke's stomach softly.

"YOu are home..."

Luke continued to whimper, flailing every so often.

Bo jerked back as much as he could when he flailed, still getting caught by punches which made the throbbing in his head worse.
