Doc shifted and reached over to shut his alarm off with a grumbled, before rolling over and reaching across the bed, intent on pulling his husband close. he paused and opened his eyes. the other side of the bed was empty and cold, so he'd apparently already been up a while. Doc frowned and sat up.

"Monty?" he called, getting up out of bed. he looked around the bedroom before heading into the living room. he froze in the door way, the living room was a mess and one of his young lovers sneakers was in the middle of it. "Monty!" Doc called slightly louder, poking his head into the kitchen, it was worse than the living room. "kid!" Doc shouted, slightly nervous now. he jumped at a knock on the door and quickly walked over, opening it. "Red? is this important I-" Doc started. Red frowned and grabbed his arm, pulling him out of the house. he refused long enough to put his shoes on, but then followed him, frowning with an eye brow raised. "Red, I got a problem..." Doc trailed looking over the town. things were scattered everywhere. "what the hell happened?" Doc ask. Red continued to pull him to his house. he opened the door and pulled Doc in. Red house looked similar to Docs, it was a mess. he finally let go of Docs arm in favor of getting behind him and pushing the older man. Doc huffed but let Red push him into the door way of his bedroom. there, laying face down on Reds bed was Monty. he was only wearing his boxers and his left sneaker and he was sprawled across the bed.

"I woke up to him standing in my living room last night. I put him in here and slept on the couch. think he was sleep walking." Red mumbled. Doc raised an eye brow.

"funny, I thought he wore a shirt last night." Doc muttered to himself.

"I patched up his foot the best I could." Red added. Doc frowned and walked over, pulling the blanket off Monty's other leg.

"any idea what he stepped in?" Doc ask, looking at the bloody bandages.

"broke a glass in my kitchen." Red frowned. "I hope I got all of it out of his foot." he added. Doc nodded, grunted scooping the man up. he stirred slightly.

"wait m'still cleanin'." he mumbled, his head thumping against Docs shoulder.

"just go back to sleep kid." Doc murmured. "give me a few minutes I'll lay him down and come help clean up." Doc said, looking at Red.

"don't worry about it. you have a house to clean up too. I got it." Red assured.

"you sure?" he ask. Red nodded. Doc sighed slightly and carried Monty back towards their house.

"someone destroyed the town." Sheriff said, walking over. he paused seeing the younger man curled up and snoring in Docs arms. "someone hurt him?" Sheriff ask, looking at the mans leg.

"yeah, he did. he slept walked. tore up my house, the town, and Reds house." Doc frowned. Sheriff nodded.

"he okay?" Sheriff ask.

"he'll be fine. sometimes people just sleep walk." Doc assured. Sheriff nodded and moved so Doc could carry his lover back to bed. he laid the younger on their bed and covered him up before working on the house. he heard another knock at the door and frowned, heading to the door. "Sally?" Doc ask.

"found this in the fountain." she said, holding up one of Docs shirts. the shirt Monty had been wearing the previous night.

"I thought he was wearing a shirt when he went to bed." Doc muttered, taking the dripping shirt. "thanks. I guess." he sighed.

"Stickers okay?" she ask. Doc shrugged, letting her in.

"hasn't woken up yet." Doc replied, taking the shirt to hang it up in the bathroom. "he break any thing?" Doc ask.

"not really, just rearanged half the town." Sally said.

"and our house and Reds kitchen." Doc muttered. Sally nodded.

"need any help?" Sally ask.

"nah just a couple things in the kitchen." Doc said. Sally followed him to the kitchen, but paused hearing a creak. she looked back towards the bedroom.

"hey Stickers." Sally waved. he stood silently. "uh Doc?" Sally ask. Doc walked over. Lightning was headed for the door, wearing the same two articles of clothing Doc had found him in, plus he'd managed to get a t-shirt on.

"kid?" Doc ask, walking over. "Monty." Doc said slightly louder. Monty simply opened the door and walked out. Sally reached to grab him, but Doc stopped her, following him curiously.

"whats going on?" Sally ask.

"he's sleep walking again." Doc said. "no one touch him." Doc called when Sheriff walked in front of him. "he's sleep walking again, don't touch him." Doc said. Lightning walked silently though the town Doc following not far behind. he came to a stop in front of the Cozy Cone office. staring blankly into the glass, before punching the glass with an angry shout. "Monty!" Doc shouted, running over to him quickly. the younger mans arm was slashed open and bleeding, his arm having gone straight through. Doc grabbed him gently and was immediately punched in the face with Lightnings other hand. Doc held his jaw, looking up from the ground. he slowly got up as Red carefully grabbed Lightnings arms. he screaming at the top of his lungs, kicking his legs, and struggling as hard as he could. "let him go." Doc said, wiping blood from his lip as he got up.

"Doc he's crazy." Sally said.

"he's sleep walking probably due to a night terror and you're making it worse." Doc hissed, running off for the clinic. he came back and Lightning was still screaming and struggling. "hold him still." Doc muttered. Red grunted glaring at Doc. he grabbed Lightnings arm and gently gabbed a needle into his arm. the younger screamed, kicking him hard in the gut and knocking him back onto the ground. he dropped his head back into the dirt and just laid there as Lightning slowly calmed down, relaxing into Reds arms.

"Doc!" Sally shouted, kneeling beside him. "are you okay?" she asks.

"j-just get the kid... get him to the house." he mumbled. Red nodded slightly and carried Monty back to the house gently, while Doc laid on the ground in pain.

"Doc are you okay?" Sheriff ask. Doc lifted his head to give Sheriff a nasty look, before dropping his head back into the dirt, breathing heavily. "kid break something?" Sheriff ask.

"just help me up." Doc muttered, weakly reaching his arm up towards Sheriff. Sheriff pulled him up carefully, catching the older man when he nearly collapsed against him. "sonuva bitch." Doc muttered, holding his side. he muttered to himself and turned, heading for the house. Red was standing in the living room waiting for him when he got there.

"you okay?" Red ask, watching Doc hold his side. there was blood dripping from his mouth.

"I'm okay." Doc assured. he wiped some blood from his lip and headed into the bedroom. Lightning was laying on the bed. "do me a favor Red." Doc murmured.

"yeah?" Red ask.

"grab Sheriffs hand cuffs. this time he's staying in the bed." Doc murmured. "tell Sally to grab my fancy first aid kid from the clinic." he added.

"okay Doc." Red mumbled, running form the house to get what Doc requested. Doc sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his husband. he looked almost peaceful on his back asleep.

"Doc?" Sally called.

"bedroom." Doc muttered. Sally walked into the room.

"you okay?" she ask, handing him the first aid kit and handcuffs. "Red chickened out." she frowns.

"I'm fine. I'm worried about him." Doc said, looking at Lightning. he slapped the cuffs gently on his good wrist and then to the bed.

"you're going to cuff him to the bed?" Sally ask.

"gotta keep him right here." Doc mumbled. he quickly and carefully took care of the younger mans arm. he whined lowly, his head flopping over to face Doc.

"h-huuudddsss....?" Lightning mumbled.

"hey kiddo." Doc murmured, ruffling his hair gently. Sally backed up, leaving quietly. he gently rubbed his lovers cheek with his thumb.

"m'arm hurts." Monty mumbled.

"I know baby, you put your arm through a glass window. you were sleep walking." Doc murmured. "gave me a pretty nice right hook their Monty." Doc said softly. Monty tried to sit up and winced.

"you cuffed me to the bed? m'not int' that." Monty mumbled, looking at Doc.

"I know. I was afraid you'd get up and run off again." Doc murmured, reaching over and setting him free carefully. he slowly sat up, his body trembling, he latched onto Doc, holding him tightly. Doc winced and wrapped an arm around him, laying back slowly. "take it easy on me Monty. you beat me up pretty good." Doc muttered. Lightning tensed, looking at him.

"h-huh? I hurt you?" he ask, looking up at Doc tearfully. Doc wrapped his arm tightly around him.

"shhhh. shhh. you just kicked me in the gut, I'm okay baby." Doc assured gently, kissing his head. there was a knock on the door the same time Doc's phone went off. "I'll get the door if you get the phone." Doc murmured, offering his cell phone to Lightning. he grabbed the phone.

"okay." he mumbled. Doc headed for the door and opened it. there a was a tan man about two inches shorter than Doc himself, standing there.

"hi. I'm looking for Montgomery Fallen." he said.

"huh?" Doc ask.

"oh, sorry, right, you probably know him as Lightning McQueen." the man said. Doc leaned against the door way, holding the door carefully.

"whose asking?" Doc ask.

"Elliot Fallen." Elliot said. "I'm his father." he added. Doc frowned slightly.

"well I'm sorry. I don't know an Montgomery Fallen." Doc shrugged.

"the whole world knows he lives in this town." Elliot glared. "and everyone here said I had to talk to you Doc Hudson." he added.

"he's not here." Doc warned. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave this town." Doc said, shutting the door in his face and locking it. he went back to his husband curled up on the bed. "kid?" Doc ask.

"Sally says a man named Elliot Fallen came looking for me." he mumbled.

"yeah and I gave him the boot. is that whats wrong? you knew he was coming and instead of telling me so I could deal with it, you stressed so bad you started sleep walking?" Doc ask. he nodded slightly, looking away. "you don't have to be scared of him kid. you're too old for him to force go back with him, not to mention married and a very famous race car driver. he can't make you do anything." Doc assured, sitting on the bed with him. Lightning huffed at him.

"he can do whatever he wants." Monty mumbled. there was another loud knock on the door and Doc sighed, getting up and going back to the door. he opened it again.

"what?" Doc snapped.

"I know he's here. you're lying to me. where's my son?" he growled lowly. Doc raised an eye brow.

"I don't know any Montgomery Fallen, not lying." Doc said, shrugging.

"his stupid race car is in your garage! I know he's here." Elliot growled. "where is Montgomery Fallen?!" Elliot growled.

"I don't know any Fallen." Doc snapped. he growled lowly.

"where's Lightning McQueen?" he snapped.

"in bed recovering." Doc snapped.

"Montgomery McQueen get out here!" Elliot shouted. Docs eye twitched.

"oh, you mean Monty." Doc said.

"of fucking course you senile old idiot." he growled.

"hey! I resent that." Doc huffed. "it's Fabulous Hudson Hornet you old bastard." he glared.

"you don't even know who I am!" Elliot growled. Doc smirked and leaned down into his face, growling lowly.

"I know exactly who you are and I'm gonna break your old bastard heart. your little punching bag, is my kid now. he's mine." Doc growled.

"you don't know what the hell you're talking about." Elliot snapped. "let me see my fucking kid." Elliot growled. Doc smirked at him, he and Lightning had been openly married for a little over two years and he had no fear of the youngers career going down the drain anymore, due to the changing of the law. he had no fear his lover would be ruined for being married to a man. they'd been married five years and he wasn't afraid. Doc grabbed the other mans shirt roughly glared.

"he's not afraid of you anymore. he's gay a proud and you can't touch him here." Doc growled.

"he's a homosexual. a fag he's disgusting and-" Elliot shouted. he was cut off when Doc punched him hard enough to send him stumbling backwards off the steps and onto his ass, with a dirty glare.

"yeah and so am I. I'll thank you kindly not to trash talk my husband." Doc hissed stomping out of the house and towering over the man. he grabbed the smaller man and hauled him to his feet, holding him by his collar. "get the hell out of my town and stay away from the kid." he warned, shoving the man.

"I'm going to fucking kill you. you disgusting homo freak. 70 years older than my son and you're married to him?" he hissed, pulling back and punching Doc in the face. or attempting to. Doc easily blocked it and shook his head.

"look, I'll beat your ass any day. now leave." he growled, twisting the younger mans arm hard behind his back. "and for your information, I'm 44 years older than him, not 70." Doc huffed shoving him hard, face first into the dirt.

"don't touch my son!" Elliot snapped. Doc turned around and kicked the man hard in the ribs.

"stay out of my town." Doc warned, heading back upstairs and into the house. Monty was watching hesitantly, from the door way, half hidden behind the door frame. Doc gently pushed him out of the way, turning to close the door. "you come back to my door, you're leaving in a body bag with a bullet in your brain." Doc warned, slamming the door shut. he turned and immediately was hugged tightly by Monty, the younger burying his face in Docs chest. "kid?" Doc ask.

"hold me." he mumbled.

"it's okay baby. I told you. I got him. I'll deal with him." he murmured softly, wrapping his arms around the younger, running his fingers through his hair. "it's okay Monty. I got you." he soothed, nuzzling his face against the youngers cheek. he understood why Monty hated the word homosexual, it seemed to be the only real thing his dad attempted to use as an insult. like back 60 some odd years ago.

"he's gonna hurt us both." Monty mumbled quietly.

"my pistol says different." Doc assured. "go lay down Monty." Doc murmured.

"I don't really want to Hud." he mumbled. Doc frowned.

"you got my cell phone Monty?" Doc ask. Monty nodded and pulled the phone from his pocket. Doc took it gently and held him. "Sheriff if he's still in front of my house I want him arrested." Doc hissed. he hung up and tossed his phone on the table, wrapping his arm back around Monty protectively.

"I'm still not gonna go lay down." Monty mumbled, holding tighter to Doc.

"not without me?" Doc ask murmuring. Monty nodded, holding tighter. Doc looked behind him to make sure the door was locked, then scooped him up gently. "okay lets lay on the couch." he murmured, laying down on the couch with him.

"he knows where I am now Hud. knows I'm openly gay, knows I'm married to a man. I can't relax." he mumbled, curling up.

"I'll protect you, you know that. I've protected you before and he won't stop me." Doc assured, kissing the top of his head. "but you need to relax and get some sleep, this time without rearranging the town." Doc said. Monty curling up.

"m'sorry Hud..." he said quietly, holding onto the older mans shirt tightly. "m'sorry I didn't say anything to you, an m'sorry I destroyed the town and whatever I put my hand through." Monty mumbled quietly, face buried in Docs chest.

"I know kiddo. it's okay. everything will be fixed and cleaned up. I'm not worried about it, no one it is. okay don't panic, just relax." Doc murmured softly, nuzzling him gently. "just rest." he soothes. Monty nods slightly, listening to Docs heart beat, sinking into the warmth of his husband. "I got you kiddo." he murmurs softly. Monty cuddled closer. Doc smiled slightly. "you can't get any closer Monty. you're already as close as you can get." Doc murmured.

"let me up Hud." Monty said. Doc let him go, watching him get up. he wondered into their bedroom and returned with their comforter. he curled back up in his previous position, pulling the blanket up and over them with Docs help.

"oh so you were trying to steal my body heat." Doc huffs. Lightning smiled slightly.

"yeah kinda." he murmurs. "I need your body heat." Monty said, head on Docs heart.

"thats okay. I got you. just go to sleep Monty." Doc assured. Monty let his eyes fall closed and he yawned. "there you go just relax and get some sleep. I know you're tired." he said softly. Monty nuzzled his chest and let himself relax in Docs arms, falling asleep. Doc held him tightly, he'd keep the younger safe no matter what happened.
