Ot3: Sonny, Jack & Brook

No one POV
Sonny sighed as soon as he closed his apartment door.
He had a long day, he's always friendly and nice but today people really tested his patience.
He put down his bag and walked towards the couch cause he needed a nap and he had a couple of hours before the boys would be home.
But one of them was already home.
Jack was fast asleep on the couch which made Sonny pretty confused.
"Did he not go to class?" He thought while he looked at his sleepy boyfriend.
He decided to ask Jack once he wakes up so he sat down and watched some TV.

A couple of hours later Brook was home but when he saw his two boyfriends on the couch cuddling, he was kinda confused.
"Hey babe" Sonny said while playing with Jack's hair, who was still sleeping.
"Why is Jack already home?"
"I don't know. He was already home when I came back...maybe something happened?"

The thing is that Jack is bipolar.
Sometimes he's hyperactive and gets excited about random things but other times he wants to do nothing, sleeps for a whole week or wants to be alone so he pushes everyone away, sometimes even in a rude way.
It's complicated and Jack hates it but Sonny and Brook learned how to deal with it.
They love Jack too much to let him go just cause of his mental illness.
There are bad days and sometimes it's hard but there are also good days and they are so good that they make up for everything else.

"Well, if that's the case let him sleep. I'm gonna shower then make dinner" Brook said unbuttoning his shirt.
"Ok"
Brook pecked Sonny quickly then went to shower.

Minutes later Jack woke up.
"Hey...how are you feeling?" Sonny asked softly.
Jack said nothing, just nuzzled more into Sonny's side and the curly boy got the signal.
It was one of his bad moments, not at their peak but...
"Love you" was all Sonny said and he kissed Jack's head.
So for a whole week, Jack stayed at home and didn't leave the bed.
Obviously, Sonny and Brook were worried but they couldn't do much except for waiting for Jack to get better.

That Friday, Sonny was at home alone with Jack since Brook had a dinner with his uni friends.
Sonny always loved staying in, in fact, he did a lot of things while Jack slept.
He did the laundry, baked some cookies, took care of his plants and even studied a bit.
Then someone rang the doorbell.
It couldn't have been Brook cause it was 6 pm, it was too early for him to be back so Sonny went to open wondering who it could be.
When he opened the door, a guy he never saw was standing there in front of him.
He wasn't as tall as him but maybe around a few inches shorter, his hair was dark but his eyes were light and he was wearing this black jean jacket that was a bit too small on him.
"Em...hi, I'm Peter. Is Jack home?" He asked a bit unsure.
"I'm Sonny...em...right now Jack is sleeping, he had a long day" Sonny lied.
He was a bit skeptical cause he never saw the guy before and Jack never talked about him either.
"Oh ok...well can you tell him I passed by?"
"Yeah sure..."
"Thanks and it was nice meeting you" the boy shook Sonny's hand with a friendly smile then left.
Sonny was so confused.
Who was that guy?
And how did he know where they live?
Jack never tells his address to people he meets cause it's like his safe place.
When he is in a bad mood, he knows that their house is safe and that no one will be there except for Sonny and Brook.
He doesn't want people to know about his condition.
Sonny had a million questions but he had to wait before asking Jack so he went back to his books.

-a few days later-
Jack was in his depressed phase but at least he started to eat again, baby steps.
"The other day a guy came here...Peter I think was his name..." Sonny started while Brook was making his protein shake.
"And...? What about him?"
"He was looking for Jack but he was sleeping and...you know" Sonny explained.
"Never heard about a Peter before"
"That's why it's weird...Jack would have talked about him if he was important. He knows where we live"
"Babe, just ignore him ok? If he wants to talk to Jack then he will have to wait till Jack gets better" Brook kissed his cheek then sat on Sonny's lap.
Brook has always been the protective one, especially when they found out about Jack's bipolar disorder.
He just wants people to stay away cause he doesn't want Jack to feel bad about himself, the guy already hates himself enough.
Sonny listened to his boy and wrapped his arms around Brook's tiny figure.

Then Jack had a rough night.
He started crying and yelled at the boys.
He said stuff like 'I deserve to be alone so GO!' 'Who would love someone like me?!' 'You guys could be happy without me'
Obviously, it was non-sense for them and in those cases, they just need to be there and reassure Jack.
So those episodes continued and one day, while Brook and Sonny were taking a break from all the Jack situation, they heard a knock.
"I'll get it" Sonny said getting up from the sofa but Brook whined at that.
It was Peter again.
"Hi...it's me again, sorry. I just need to talk to Jack, it's urgent" Peter said and it really seemed urgent.
But there was something more, he looked...anxious.
"Em...I don't know...he still hasn't left his room, he's kinda going through a bad moment right now...so I don't know if it's a good idea..." Sonny didn't want to be rude to the guy.
"I really need to tell him something..." Peter insisted and Sonny looked behind him.
Brook would kill him but Sonny was too kind to say no so he let Peter in.
"The door at the end of the hall"
When Peter walked in, Brook stood up and gave Sonny the 'what the fuck' look.
"Just...it'll be quick. Promise" Sonny said quietly.
"Whatever...but I don't like this nor him" Brook coldly said.

Peter knocked gently and even tho Jack said nothing, he came in.
"Hi, Jack...it's me, Peter. Don't really know if you were ignoring me or not so..." Peter started but Jack stayed still in bed with his back facing Peter.
He was awake but he definitely wasn't in the mood for this.

Deep down Jack was kinda mad cause Peter shouldn't be here in the first place.
They met in class and hanged out a couple of times but that was it, nothing more.
He had zero rights to stalk him, find his address and come inside while clearly, Jack wasn't feeling ok cause the boy knew his boyfriends told him, not about the bipolar disorder but still...
"I thought we...I don't even know but you're cool Jack and I really like...I like hanging out with you..."
Every cell in Jack's body was fighting back the tears cause he didn't want to cry and cause a scene but Peter's presence was bothering him.
So he pressed the button, Jack always has it for emergencies and in 2 seconds the door flung open.

"Out. Now." Brook said sternly while glaring at Peter.
Meanwhile, Sonny went to hug Jack who cried on his shoulder.
"What is going on?" Peter was more than confused.
"You have to leave." Brook insisted.
"Brook...don't be like that now" Sonny scolded him while he looked for Jack's pills on the nightstand.
"I-I just wanted to talk to Jack...I did nothing-"
"You did enough." Brook cut him off.
Eventually, Peter left the apartment and Brook was furious but he had to focus on Jack.

"I brought you warm milk and cookies in case you were hungry...if you need anything else I'll go to the store" Brook said putting the tray on the bedside table.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Sonny asked looking at Jack's red puffy face.
The boy shook his head no and nuzzled into Sonny's chest.
Brook sat on the bed and grabbed Jack's hand.
"I'm sorry about earlier. I was worried and he made you cry...I'm sorry for being harsh"
"It's ok" Jack mumbled.
"I think he has a crush on me..." he added and Sonny stopped his circular motions on Jack's arm.
"What?"
"He always insists on hanging out and stuff. Also, he thinks that you guys are just my roommates even tho I made it very clear that you guys are more than that"
Then Jack kept crying cause he's tired of this illness.
He felt guilty, guilty for not telling Brook and Sonny, for letting Peter in and for being who he is.
"Listen...we don't care what Peter thinks ok? If he doesn't get you then he doesn't get to be your friend" Sonny said softly.
"Also if you don't want to see him anymore then don't. If he tries to do something that bothers you, I'll punch him" Brook said.
Being protective was his love language.
"I love you guys" Jack's voice was soft like summer breeze.
"We love you too Jackie" and the 3 boys ended up cuddling on the bed.

A couple of days passed by and Jack was back again, he went back to class and there he saw Peter.
The other boy looking sad and a mix of other feelings that Jack couldn't point out, he has never been good at reading people.

At lunchtime Jack found the courage to talk to Peter, he had to.
"Peter, wait!"
The boy turned around and stopped in his tracks.
"I'm sorry..." Jack started after a moment, he had to organize his thoughts.
"I'm sorry for the other day...I didn't want to tell you cause I-I never do it, I mean telling people about my condition...but I'm sorry"
Peter just stood there for a bit then talked.
"I just wanted to hang out"
"I know but it's not something I can control. Sometimes I'm sad, then the next day I'm an asshole...it's just how it goes and I don't want you to handle all of this. Brook and Sonny already do enough"
At the mention of their names, Peter looked at the ground and fumbled with his hands.
"Are they...?"
"Yep. They are my boyfriends. I-yeah I'm just sorry" was all Jack could say.
"Well, it's ok...I guess that I'll never understand you the way that they do" Peter said looking behind the raven boy where Brook and Sonny were waiting.
Jack turned around and a smile grew on his face.
"Goodbye Jack" and before Jack could say anything back, the boy was gone.

"Are you ok?" Brook asked rubbing Jack's back.
"Yep"
"I'm proud of you for talking to him. We are proud of you" Sonny said while letting out a cloud of smoke.
