yuta walked into sicheng's hospital room to see a pale, messy haired boy laying on the bed. his eyes were red, and his cheeks were tear stained. he looked cold, scared and weak.

"ta~" he called out quietly, as lucas smiled at yuta. the boy was sat on the edge of the bed, but moved when yuta walked over, so he could sit there instead, "mm- cas?"

"yeah?"

the boy motioned for lucas to leave the room so the two could talk. lucas wasn't offended, and swiftly walked into the corridor of the small hospital.

"are you okay? what happened?" yuta tilted his head, placing his hand on his flushed cheek gently.

sicheng pointed at his chest with a pout, before pulling yuta closer to him, hugging him as tight as he could, "i couldn't breathe, ta.."

yuta frowned, placing his hands under the boy's arms and lifting him, "are you feeling any better now? have they helped at all?"

"i... can breathe now.." he boy laughed, but struggled when he had to take a moment to catch his breath again. he sighed, looking away, "it feels like the end, yuta."

yuta gasped lightly at what his lover had said. he shook his head, taking his jaw in his hand, making eye contact, "no, baby... it's okay. please, dont say that. you're gonna be okay."

"yuta.." sicheng sighed with a sad laugh, putting his hand on yuta's thigh, "i've taught myself to be realistic. you should too."

yuta shook his head, moving sicheng's messy hair away from his eyes, "i am being realistic, and i know you'll get through this, cheng."

"... okay.." sicheng nodded, smiling weakly once more. he admired yuta's face for a moment, tracing his finger across his cheeks, then his lips, and finishing by staring into his eyes for a moment. it was almost like he was trying to take it all in. he was trying to feel everything.

"are you staying here tonight?" yuta asked, placing sicheng back down, moving the pillows to support his back. he watched as the boy got comfortable, then nodded, "i can stay, if you want?"

"where would you sleep?"

yuta turned to the chair in the corner of the room, with a smile and a shrug, "i dont mind. i just wanna make sure you're okay."

"m'dont want you to get like- back hurt-"

"it's okay!" yuta nodded, feeling sicheng tug on his shoulder and pull him down.

"cuddle?"

with a nod, yuta rested his head on the boy's chest, but not putting too much pressure on it as he didnt know how sensitive his lungs were, "you're shivering. cold?"

"dunno.." sicheng admitted, stroking yuta's hair like a delicate puppy, "i can't feel it.. just stay here."

"i'm staying for as long as you need me to..."

-

"what... exactly happened?" yuta asked, as sicheng slept and lucas sat on the chair next to the bed, "he didnt really explain too well."

"he.. well- he'd been going to the hospital before, but it's pneumonia, they think," lucas spoke quietly, so he didnt wake the sleeping boy, "it's like.. pretty bad.."

yuta nodded sadly, watching the boy at peace. he was almost smiling, which made him smile too. but he looked broken. like a wrecked puzzle, with no hope of being put back together.

"they're giving him antibiotics to fight the bacteria and stuff, but i think he'll be stuck in here for a few days unless it gets better quickly," lucas frowned, "i havent asked though, how are you?"

"i couldn't put it into words," the older chuckled, "like the feeling of a panic attack, but i'm not actually having one."

lucas nodded, completely understanding, before walking over to give the boy a hug, "it's okay. he'll fight through. you'll both be okay, alright?"

"mhm.. thank you, lucas. for everything," yuta looked up after hugging him back, "y'know.. for taking care of him, n' stuff. i know i havent been here for long, but i'm truly grateful."

"no, thank you for making him happy. if it wasn't for you, yuta... i dont think he'd be with us anymore."

yuta felt his heart drop, when lucas ran his hand through his hair. he felt so many emotions in this moment, but he really couldn't identify any of them, "t-that's okay.."

"just.. take it easy, alright? i'm gonna go to the store before i head home. need anything?"

"i dont need anything but- can.. you get sicheng some pink tulips?"

"you're so cute.." lucas smiled, with a nod as he put his coat on and picked up his phone and keys, "absolutely. i'll be back a.s.a.p"
