The Mate

Chapter 5

"Saint?"

Mew was getting more and more concerned with the younger's condition. something was wrong.. definitely wrong.

"Hm?"

The younger one slowly raised his eyes to look at him, but his body clearly showed signs of exhaustion and weakness... what had suddenly happened? What was wrong with him?

"Does this happen often?"

Mew pressed Saints hands a bit stronger to keep him awake.

"It started two months ago... not that often... but.."

Saints eyes were almost closed.

"...but.. increasing..."

Carefully, Mew picked the younger man up and took both his and saints keys before leaving the atelier, while carrying Saint bridal style. He soon reached Saints car, setting the younger down on the passenger seat and putting on his seatbelt, before Mew took a seat on the driver seat and started the car.

Mew looked up, when hearing steps that quickly came closer and saw his boyfriend in front of him, out of breath, because he had run all the way to the hospital, after hearing about Saints condition.

"What happened? How is he?"

Mew hugged the Nong for a moment and lovingly caressed his back, before talking in a calm voice.

"Saint suddenly turned pale, shivered and seemed extremely exhausted before falling asleep. So I was worried and brought him here."

Gulf slowly nodded in his faens chest, hugging him tightly to calm down his fear. It took a couple of minutes, but when the younger loosened his arms and looked the other in the eyes, he seemed way more relaxed than earlier.

"Did the doctor say something already?"

"I haven't spoken with them yet. But someone informed me that a doctor will come talk with us in some time."

His reaction was a small nod, before both of them took a seat in the waiting area. It was almost 7pm already, originally the time they were going to have the party. But as soon as Mew arrived at the hospital with Saint and the smaller one was taking in the ER, he wrote a message in the group chat that Saint didn't feel good and Gulf and Mew would look after him for now and explain everything tomorrow.

Then he had given Gulf a short call and told him to come here, making sure to calm him down a bit over the phone first, so that he wouldn't get in an accident on the way here.

"Were you able to talk to him?"

Gulf asked silently, wrapping his Arms around Mews right one, and snuggling his head against the others shoulder. Body contact always helped Gulf relax, especially when it was contact with either his Mew or Sainty.

"We were a bit too obvious about our plan with Earth. He knew it..."

"Sometimes it would really be better if he was a bit dumber like Mild..." , Gulf chuckled and let out a sigh.

"But Saint talked about it... first it just sounded as if he... maybe had something like depressions or so. But what he said about the time since he met his mate... it worries me even more."

Gulf looked up, catching Mews glance with his and locking their eyes.

No words were needed at this point. They just looked at each other, Gulf trying to figure out what exactly Saint had said, while Mew tried to look for an answer in Gulfs eyes.

"I think we should ask him to stay with us for now", the younger one said after a while of silence and looked away.

"And I know that you agree to it. "
