31. home

Karl sat in the reception area, his bag at his feet and a small chocolate bar in his hand. The sweet taste on his tongue made him feel sick but he had to finish it, at least show the clinic that he was better.

His head immediately shot up when he heard the door open and his boyfriend had walked in. "Nick!" he smiled, going over to hug the other.

"Hey pretty boy," Nick smiled as he left a small kiss on the others forehead, "You ready to go home?"

"More than anything."

"Come on," he chuckled and picked up his suitcase for him.

Karl smiled softly and followed the other to the car. "It feels weird to suddenly not have all those people watching me," he chuckled softly.

"They did ask me to still look out for you though, I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable or anything."

"It's okay, I know you're just looking out for me," he smiled softly and kissed his cheek. He wasn't thrilled about still needing to be watched but at least this time it was just Nick and not a crew of strangers pretending to be his friend.

"Hey uh this isn't the way home," Karl said as he glanced out the window, "I swear to god, you better not be taking me somewhere weird again," Karl stated, the defensive wall in his voice beginning to build again.

"Relax pretty boy, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes."

"No."

"Please? True me."

"No..."

"Pleaseee baby?"

"Fine," Karl sighed softly and shut his eyes, his nervousness was shown in the anxious fiddling of his sleeve but Nick reached over to hold his hand, "It's really okay, I promise."

After a few more moments, Nick grinned and stopped the car. "Open your eyes."

Karl's eyes opened and immediately a wide smile spread over his face. The car was parked in front of an enormous house, with a glass pool visible and a balcony overlooking a gorgeous view. "Is this the house we were looking at?" Karl chuckled and turned to face Nick.

"All ours now baby," Nick grinned.

"Oh my god, you bought it?"

"I had some help," He smiled and climbed out of the car before opening Karl's door and taking his hand.

They walked through the gates and to Karl's surprise, a short brunette came running over to embrace him in a tight hug. "Gogy?" Karl laughed and hugged him back.

George tilted his head to look up at him but before he could speak he was interrupted by a tall blonde stepping out of the house, "Where's my love?"

"What the hell?" Karl laughed "Dream? Clay? Oh my god, you have a face," he giggled and went over to the taller.

"Welcome come baby," Nick smiled.
