Fixing a Broken Heart

Chapter 4

Beam admires Bob III. He followed the robot with his eyes every time it moved. Forth smiled a little to see Beam's behavior.

"Are you full?" asked Forth, pointing at Beam's empty plate.

Forth wakes up Bob III when Beam says he is hungry. Lasagna, steak and mashed potatoes, salad and  orange juice are quickly served by Bob III when Forth wakes him from auto-charge mode. Beam trails behind him carrying an IV pole. He was very surprised when he saw that Bob was a robot.

"You made it yourself?" Beam asked in awe, pointing to Bob III who was fixing their food. "You are a genius? He can even eat delicious food like this."

Forth smiled. He shook his head without taking his eyes off Beam. "Me and four of my friends. We founded the company together and Bob III is one of the products that will be launched next year. This Bob is an example."

"You're amazing," Beam said in a voice full of admiration. "You seem young, but looking at this house of yours, and also Bob, you must be very rich."

Forth didn't answer. Beam looks innocent and naive, but Forth doesn't want to fall into the same hole twice. His four friends, the crazy quartet would kill him without hesitation if he made the same mistake.

"Go back to the room and sleep when you're done," said Forth in a flat tone. "You still need time to recover."

Beam tilted his head and looked at Forth. "I ... am I sleeping in your room?"

Forth nodded. "Why?"

"You have a guest bedroom? I could move over there, so you won't be disturbed."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to sleep. I have a few things to do. You can sleep there. I'll be in the study, next to the room."

Beam looked doubtful, but he didn't argue and walked over to bring the IV pole back into the room.

Forth stared at his back without blinking until Beam disappeared behind the door. Forth grabbed his phone and called someone. "Help me find someone's data. Male. His name is Beam."

Forth went into his study which is located next to the master bedroom. He opened the connecting door and saw Beam sleeping with fast breathed.

Forth frowned and walked over without making a sound. He stood by Beam's side and watched him shift restlessly. There were sweat dots on his forehead and long neck. Forth looked at the small clock on the nightstand. Almost four in the morning.

Forth put his palm on Beam's forehead, feeling warm. He took a handkerchief on the nightstand and carefully rubbed Beam's wet forehead and neck. Beam moaned softly and held Forth's hand, moaning.

His eyes remained tightly closed, but he sobbed as he whispered, "Don't ... let me go ... I don't want to, no, please don't ..."

Forth gasped, when suddenly Beam opened his eyes while screaming and his hand which was on Beam's forehead was gripped tightly.

Beam sobbed as he continued to say the same lines. He looked at Forth with a look full of fear and confusion.

Forth reached out and grabbed Beam's head into his arms. Beam's tears soaked Forth's pajamas. "Ssh ... don't be afraid, Beam, you're safe. I'll take care of you. Ssh ... calm down, Baby, shh ... calm down."

Slowly Beam's cry subsided and Forth felt Beam's grip on his back weaken. Forth stroked Beam's soft hair gently while humming a lullaby. Not long after, he felt Beam's head droop.

Forth put Beam back on the bed and rubbed his forehead which was wrinkled. Forth looked down, hesitated for a moment, but then he lowered his head and kissed Beam's forehead gently. The wrinkles on Beam's forehead smoothed after the kiss.

Forth lay down next to Beam. He didn't want to risk Beam delirious and crying again like that. Forth looked curiously at the man next to him.

Beam was definitely not an ordinary man. When Forth finds him, he wears expensive brand clothes, as well as his shoes and watch, even though he is covered in wounds and dirty.

After he was cleaned, hiso charming physical appearance more clearly showed a side of hisp that was not ordinary. His skin is pale and smooth, as well as his good looks which can also be said to be beautiful, makes Forth fascinated.

Forth is eager to know what Beam has been through to end up like this. He lay down and stared at the ceiling in his room with a sigh. His eyes were almost closed when a warmth enveloped his chest. He gasped in surprise.

Beam hugged Forth tightly. His head was on Forth's shoulders and his breath was blowing warmly against Forth's neck. His hands are on Forth's chest and his legs are wrapped around Forth's legs. The infusion pole tilted as it was attracted by it. Forth can't move. Beam makes himself a bolster.

"Don't go, I'm afraid. Don't go ..." Beam whispered in his sleep. He closed himself to Forth as if he was afraid of losing.

Forth felt Beam's lips pressed against his neck, tickled and made his blood flow racing toward his lower body. Under Beam's thigh, Forth could feel him harden.

"Be-Beam," Forth muttered. "Ssh ... Calm down. I am here."

Beam muttered meaninglessly and pressed his body closer to Forth. His hand rubbed Forth's broad chest from the top of his pajamas and right above his nipples.

Forth bit his lower lip to hold back the groan that almost escaped his mouth. Beam's body was warm and soft, perfectly pressed against his body like a matching puzle piece.

"Don't go," Beam whispered.

Forth moved slowly, adjusting his position to make it more comfortable. He kissed Beam's forehead for a long time. "I'm here, Beam. I'm not leaving. Go to sleep, Baby, I'll take care of you."

Forth could feel Beam's lips stuck to his neck smiling. Forth knows, that beautiful smile will probably be the beginning of another difficulty he will go through. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
