How is it February already?!

Mid-Winter has come and with it another month of prompts for our lovely community. Thank you all so much for the crazy amount of support and activity from the Dawning post. There's been so much that's developed through that. Let's do what we can to inspire more developments hmmm~? And As always--

Disclaimer: I never close old writing prompts from previous months. People can and should be encouraged to post on old month's prompts and I highly encourage players to track these posts to catch stragglers or new people writing on old prompts.

Now. With that out of the way, onto this month's prompts.

By the time Jay got back on the bus, he'd managed to calm down a little. He was no longer seeing red. But he was still very upset by what had happened earlier.

When he went to grab a quick shower before turning in, he hadn't expected to come back out to one of his own bandmates on his bed, on top of his fiance, holding him down and sucking on his hip in a drunken stupor. Dee was hardly a willing participant, that much was clear. Jay found him cursing at Johan to get off and get out, even trying to kick him when he wouldn't budge.

What Dee lacked in strength, though, Jay quickly made up for. He grabbed the naughty tiger by the collar and yanked him off, giving him more than just a piece of his mind. When Johan stumbled off the bus, that could have been the end of it. But instead, Jay stormed after him, giving him a taste of his own medicine. The drunk man wanted milk? He got it. A whole gallon of it. Dumped on top of him.

"...And people wonder why I don't drink." Dee huffed.

So far on the tour, he'd found himself the victim of a few drunken pranks. Up until tonight, the worst was probably being buried in an entire supermarket aisle's worth of snack food packages. It was embarrassing to feel so helpless and trapped, especially by something so stupid. But this was on a different level entirely.

"If it's any consolation, he's probably going to smell like sour milk by the time he sobers up." Jay offered, crawling in bed and wrapping his arms around Dee. Unfortunately, it was probably going to be Tom, not Johan, that was left cleaning up most of that mess.

"It'd be more of one... if I could have done that." he grunted, leaning into his fiance's arms. "I couldn't even get him off me."

Dee was just as frustrated with his own limitations as he was Johan's invasive intrusion. He didn't have the muscle strength anymore to lift a whole gallon of milk above someone's head. Storming out of the bus after him would have been a struggle before he even got to the steps. If this had been someone other than their guitarist, someone who actually wanted to hurt him... what chance did he actually have?

It felt like a very cruel joke.

"You shouldn't have needed to." Jay whispered, kissing him gently. "You shouldn't ever have to need to."

"It's hard enough when I try to do normal things... and I can't. But that... Not being able to stop someone from doing things to my body I don't want them doing..." Dee stuttered. "I feel so fucking helpless!"

Jay pulled back, taking a deep breath. He gently lifted Dee's chin, meeting his trembling eyes.

"Then we'll work on that." he whispered. "With the new physical therapist. Because you're right. No one should ever do anything to you that you don't consent to. And I love you too much to let it happen again."

"Do you really think that would help?" he asked.

"Dee, when you put your mind to something, you're far from helpless." he encouraged. "You find a way to make it work. Just as you are. It's one of the many things I love about you."

Dee leaned in again, kissing Jay deeply.

"And that, right there, would be another."
