Raven slipped into the room and sighing spotted his brother curled up in a corner sobbing uncontrollably. "Shannon," he said softly taking the small man into his arms.

"Scotty make him stop PLEASE it hurts so BAD!" Shannon sobbed. Raven sighed trying to think of a solution. Even as mad as he'd been at their hurting Shannon, Scott's anguish over hurting his Little One had been apparent. He knew that as connected as Shannon was to Scott that the two of them were only feeding each other's anguish.

"Shannon listen to me," Raven said softly. "You have to cut Scotty off. You know those walls you've been trying to build? You need to do it to Scotty. It won't stop hurting until you do. Just picture him and then picture him inside the walls. Do it Shannon you have to."

Raven knew the second that Shannon had done it because he quieted almost immediately and there came a wailing from the other room louder than he'd ever heard. "Scotty," Shannon whispered, but was stopped by his brother.

"No you have to let Kevin handle this Shanny. You aren't strong enough. I know it's hard, but he has to get control of himself," Raven said quickly before Shannon could give in and let Scott back in.

Shannon looked from the door to Raven and back then finally nodded. "Can I take it down when he's calm again?"

"Of course baby," Raven said and settled down next to his brother. "Shannon I know you don't realize it yet, but there is a difference between how they feel for Shawn and how they feel for you."

"Yeah they love him," Shannon mumbled sourly. "They only pity me."

Raven just snorted. "Does all that ruckus Scott's making sound like pity?" Shannon looked to the door where he could still hear his friend wailing through and shook his head no reluctantly. "Well then…" Raven replied then sighed. "You're gonna have to trust me on this. I'm not saying that you don't have a good reason to be upset because you do. Instead of being here helping you they were off fucking Shawn… A LOT. One of these days you'll understand people like Kevin and Shawn, but until then you're gonna have to just trust your big brother ok?"

When Shannon nodded Raven looked at the door and sighed. "Now look I'm gonna have to go calm down Scott. I'm gonna have Shawny come in here and sit with you so you're not all alone. Don't kill him or something ok?"

Shannon scowled and waived his brother away as he got up and moved to the bed. Just as he sat down at the top Shawn pounded on the door. Raven tore open the door and spoke before Shawn could open his mouth. "Yeah yeah I'll take care of Scotty you sit here with Shannon. He shouldn't be alone."

Shawn shook his head as his angry lover stormed out of the bedroom. Slipping inside and shutting the door behind him Shawn reluctantly he looked to the bed to see Shannon watching him carefully and scowling. "Little One…"

"Don't call me that," Shannon said coldly. "I'm not YOUR Little One. I'm not sure I'm anyone's Little One anymore."

"Shannon you know they love you," Shawn scolded softly and Shannon only glared at him hotly. "Right that's why they spend all their time with you… because they love me so damn much."

"Shannon…" Shawn started to say but was cut off.

"DON'T ok… you got what you fucking wanted. You have Scotty and Kevy and my brother all at once. Have a nice life Boy Toy. Now would you kindly get the fuck out? I'd rather sit with Hogan than you." With that Shannon rolled over onto his stomach leaving Shawn no other choice but to leave.

Shawn walked up to the group just in time to see his rather unhappy lover scream, "Damnit Scott calm down!" The rearing back smacked him across the face stunning both Scott and Kevin. Hell HBK himself was a little stunned. The good news was that Scott was so stunned that he stopped his wailing long enough for Raven to get more than two words in. "Now look Hall, I know you're upset and I know you miss your connection with Shannon. It's a bitch when its gone cause Shannon makes it feel so damn good to be together, but he had no other choice. You were feeding off each other and it was hurting him. Not calm your ass down, get hold of yourself and he'll bring you back in."

Scott nodded and fought to calm down even though panic was raging though his body. He was slowly coming to realize that Shannon was a bigger addiction than any other he'd ever faced. "I'm sure Shannon will be thrilled when he finds out you think of him as an addiction," Raven drawled.

Scott looked up at Raven and glared, "That isn't nice."

Raven just snorted. "Shit you two have been together too long." Turning he looked at his lover and sighed. "What happened?" He asked and Shawn only pouted in response.

"What you don't know Mr. I-can-read-minds-any-time-I-wanna?" Shawn sneered and Raven just shook his head.

"Yes Shawn actually I do know, but I thought Heckle and Jeckle here would like to hear what is happening to my sweet little brother under their… TENDER attention," Raven sneered.

"He asked me if I was happy now that I had Scott and Kevin and you all to myself now then told me to get the Fuck Out cause he'd rather sit with Hogan than me," Shawn said pouting still and Kevin looked up surprised. "SHANNON said that?"

Raven just turned and looked at the big man shaking his head. "The air really is thin up there isn't it Nash?" Raven snarled and walked off to his computer leaving the three Kliq members alone.

"What are we gonna do Kevy?" Scott asked hiccuping as he fought to get himself back under control.

"YOU are gonna calm the fuck down," Kevin ordered, "and while you do that I'm gonna go in and talk to Shannon." Determined Kevin headed towards the bedroom then taking a deep breath entered shutting the door behind him softly. "Shanny," he called out, but got no response. "Little One, are you awake?"

"Does it matter?" Shannon asked harshly. "You'd just wake me up for whatever it is you want if I wasn't."

"I just wanna talk to you baby," Kevin said.

"You mean you wanna tell me more lies," Shannon said angrily. "You wanna brainwash be some more so I will forget that you don't really love me. Why you are wasting your time here I have no clue. God knows Raven would be thrilled if y'all just left. I think he's tired of putting up with me pouting."

"Shannon how can you think we don't love you?" Kevin asked softly moving to sit down on the bed.

"Gee maybe because you DON'T," Shannon snapped. "I know how you feel about Shawn. All you have to do is see the two of you together to see you're in love. Why don't you just go back to him?"

"Because we don't want to be with him," Kevin said softly. "We want you."

Shannon turned and looked at Kevin shocked at his audacity. "How dare you. I am right here Kevin, but you and Scotty only seem to wanna be with SHAWN."

"We wanted to give you time alone with your brother baby," Kevin replied softly.

Shannon just snorted and rolled back onto his stomach. "Cut the crap Kevin I SAW you and Shawn together remember."

"Come on baby," Kevin pleaded growing frustrated. "Are you gonna tell me you don't feel the same about say… Jeff Hardy?"

"YOU LEAVE HIM OUT OF THIS!! YOU HEAR ME KEVIN NASH?? YOU LEAVE JEFFY OUT OF THIS!!" Shannon screamed angrily. "It's enough that I don't even get to see him anymore, but don't you DARE drag MY friendship with him which is one of the ONLY good things I have into this. I thought you and Scott were gonna be one of my other few good things, but I guess I was wrong huh? Just goes to show that fate really is a BITCH!"

"When was the last time you saw your friends baby?" Kevin asked realizing his Little One hadn't had much free time. When he wasn't at HWA he was here with them.

"BEFORE I joined the club," Shannon shot back still angry but now pouting. He sorely missed his friends. They were a lifeline in his life that he felt like he'd been separated from.

Taking his cell phone out of his pocket Kevin made a quick call then turned back to the bed. "How would you like to go to WWF with us tonight?"

"I have to be back in HWA tomorrow morning remember?" Shannon grumbled.

"Not anymore," Kevin replied smiling. "Paul's getting you time backstage. We've been talking about getting you brought up anyway… it's just gonna get pushed up." Kevin had expected squeals of happiness at the news and knew at one time he would have gotten it, but instead all he got was a stony stare filled with doubt.

"What's the catch?" Shannon finally asked and Kevin sighed.

Like he always did when he was in pain Kevin sighed then squared his shoulders pushing past the hurt and went on. "If you aren't with the Hardy's you have to be with Raven or us. It's too dangerous backstage for you to be roaming around alone. Other than that I only have one request."

"Which is…" Shannon asked snorting expecting the other shoe to drop now.

"Kid's been wanting to meet you… all I ask is that you take time to talk to him," Kevin replied softly and turning left the room. Frowning Shannon shook his head confused then curled up on the bed and went to sleep hoping Kevin and Scott still loved him in dreamland.
