"Zayn?"

"Fuck." The brunet was scared, his anxiety coursing through his body as he saw his husband's green eyes crystallise, his artificial 'breathing' being rapid and anxious, for the curly-haired man was terrifyingly scared. "Listen, I'll try to explain, just don't get scared..."

"W-What are you doing to my hand? Zayn, what is all this?" The first two tears came out of his eyes, and Zayn knew he had to get up and start explaining absolutely everything.

"We'll leave you two alone. Zayn, try not to upset him or his rhythmic system will be damaged." Katy commented before leaving the lab, followed by Louis and Liam who gave him a pitying look before leaving.

"Zayn?"

The brunet took a breath, he wasn't ready to tell what had happened years ago, he would never be ready to tell how his husband lost his life, the wound was still open after all.

"It was a car accident, July 19, 2015. You left our house because we argued that night, we were fighting about having babies, which I denied because I wasn't ready to be a father at that moment, you didn't understand why, so you asked me for a divorce, we argued for two hours until you decided to go to a friend's house, on the way I remember calling you, and begging you to come back, that I would do everything for you and our marriage, that if you wanted children we would have them, I never knew you were a hermaphrodite, Harry?" He murmured, sniffing and holding her tears in place. "Our baby was inside your womb, and I knew later why you were always so defensive, I never understood why you didn't want to tell me before, why you never told me?" The pained look Zayn gave Harry was devastating, but the curly one didn't even remember that night. "You didn't answer my calls so I went looking for you, on the avenue we always took there was terrible traffic, and as I got closer I could see that it was a car accident, I could see your red car against a concrete wall. I will never forget the condition that car was in, I don't know if you remember but I gave it to you on your twenty-second birthday.... Damn it." A strangled sob came out of his throat, he felt his heart breaking more and more, and his head ached from the traumatic memories. "I saw you Harry, I saw you in your seat full of blood and wounds, I could see you and you don't know how I wanted to run and hug you but the officers wouldn't let me do it until I said I was your husband, I accompanied you to the hospital, you were still alive, your heart was still beating but your brain was dead, there was no sign of you coming back, until the next day the doctors told me that you were gone.... They informed me of your condition, Harry.... And I knew that you had taken my life as well."

Harry could feel the trembling in his husband's body, the desperation to be comforted and held was so much that he didn't stop himself from wrapping his arms around him, hearing Zayn's sobbing and moaning broke him, he had never heard his husband so broken.

"You and our baby were gone and all because of me, for not understanding you, for not being brave enough to face you, for not stopping you." He moaned. "After five years I was able to get a job here, I was able to be someone in life and you weren't around so we could celebrate, but I felt you were proud in some way or another but I didn't want to feel that way, I wanted you to kiss me and tell me you were, I wanted to hear you say it, I wanted your touch to prove it. ..and I created you with the help of the three people you saw here before, and now to be able to see you, kiss you, touch you and admire you again makes me selfish because I don't want you to go, I don't want you to leave me, I don't want to cry for you again, I don't want that again..."

"Zayn...

"You can't leave me, damn it!" Zayn's tattooed arms clung to the robotic body, letting out a wave of desperation. "You can't do this, don't leave me."

"You know this isn't right, what you did."

"I don't want to hear it, Harry."

"I'm so sorry for what happened a few years ago, my love, I really am, but you have to let me go..."

"Shut up, just shut up! Don't say stupid things, I won't do that."

"You have to let me go, Zaynie... for your own good, you know you have to..."

"I can't do it, I'm so sorry."

Zayn immediately turned Harry off, leaving his robotic husband's body lying on that gurney, grabbed his tools and took it upon himself to fix his hand.

He wouldn't let him go, not when he was already here.
