The feeling of Zane all around him, his arms steady and hands soothing the tremors in his shoulders and his soft, gentle kiss on his head, brought a peace over Cody that allowed him a moment to collect his thoughts, muddled by fever. "Okay," he breathed out, lowering the tissue for a moment. He sniffed, then brought it up to blow his nose slightly, his cheeks growing a bit pink in embarrassment as he rubbed his nose. He glanced up at Zane, his eyes flickering slightly as he noticed a dampness in Zane's eyes, and he felt a small wave of guilt mixed with a strange kind of happiness that Zane cared so much that Cody was crying.
He drew in a shuddering breath, wiping his eyes on his sleeve as a few more tears slipped down. "U-um... so... when... when I was younger, um, about... a-about sixteen or so... m-my parents and I were going somewhere. I-I honestly can't remember where, now, but... they were kind of, um, arguing in the front seat, or shouting about directions, l-like parents do I guess..." Cody's story started off rambling, and he swallowed thickly, shifting slightly. The way things had ended up, he was almost sitting in Zane's lap, curled up tight under the other boy's chin. "A-and then before I knew it... there were these big semis around us? Those big trucks... th-that carry stuff, yeah, and... I'm not sure what happened but I think a car in front of us suddenly slammed on the breaks or something. A-and my parents were watching the semis so... th-they didn't see and we collided, w-w-with the car, and... I-I got out of it, obviously but... m-my parents... d-didn't..."
[So much stuttering jeebus Cody :''|]
But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair
