Title: Seasons 2/4
Movie: Four Brothers
Pairing: PreSlash, Bobby/Jack
Rating: PG

Warnings: Not mine, never will be.
Winter

Spring arrives, bearing Jack's first birthday in the Mercer home. He's stunned by the gifts and the huge chocolate cake that Evelyn's made for the day. He eats a large piece, savoring every mouthful. His 13th birthday is the best that he can remember.
Jack finds that Bobby was right about the spring time. He rides Jerry's old bike around the neighborhood, taking great delight in riding through a wild rainstorm, the droplets stinging as they pelt him. Despite Bobby's insistent and vigorous swears Jack does not develop pneumonia, although his ears burn in memory of how Bobby fussed over him, scolding him the whole time.
He helps Evelyn in her garden and learns the difference between weeds, herbs, and flowers. He shyly calls her 'Mom' one day and receives a bone-crushing hug from her for it. He explores the kitchen, experimenting with foods, and much to Evelyn's delighted pride, becomes quite efficient and skilled at cooking.
Bobby leaves for a month and when he returns, he declares that Jack had surely grown almost two inches while he was away. He doesn't speak about where he's been and Jack is too shy to ask. He accepts Bobby's presence, having missed him badly while he was gone.
Bobby gives him a pair of rollerblades and begins to teach him the rules of street hockey, and thus, ice hockey, Mercer-style. Jack fumbles a lot at first, Bobby patiently showing him over and over how to fall properly, how to swing the stick and block an attack. Evelyn fusses over his bruises and chides Bobby for being too rough. Bobby and Jack exchange eye-rolls and laugh when she threatens to ground them both.
He catches Jack smoking one fairly warm evening and watches as he struggles to think of a good excuse. Bobby smirks and ruffles his hair, stealing a cigarette from his pack. They smoke in silence together.
As the weather grows warmer, Jack finds himself sitting closer to Bobby than before. He listens to the stories that Bobby tells him sometimes, and swipes sips of his beer when he thinks Bobby isn't looking. He lets his mind wander ahead to the summer, and daydreams, a silly grin on his face as he does so.
Bobby hugs him closer, listening to the birds in the trees nearby, chirping as the spring sun sets.
