Love is a sickness {💯%}

4. Surprising

So a few weeks have passed and somehow, Harry and Ben started dating.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Harry asked as he walked into Ben's hospital room.
"Could've been better..." Ben mumbled.
"Did your parents say shit?" Harry said with annoyance, he saw them leave before he arrived.
"No- They didn't... I just... Ugh, can I ask you for a favour?"
"Of course." Harry said as he took Ben's hand.
"...could you shave my head? It's already falling out thanks to the chemo and I couldn't get myself to ask my parents earlier..."
"Do you really want me to do that?" Harry asked and Ben nodded after a moment of hesitation.
"Alright then... Eh..."
"There should be a razor in the top drawer ubder the sink in the bathroom thingy." Ben said.
"I'll put a chair there so we won't make a mess everywhere, just there. Okay?" Harry asked and Ben nodded.
"Okay..." he said softly.
He slowly got up as Harry moved a chair there, Harry ended up helping Ben a bit as well.

"Alright then... here goes." Harry mumbled as he turned the razor on.
He didn't like to do this, he loved Ben's hair.
Ben didn't even bother to open his eyes, he didn't like this either and Harry definitely noticed that.
"For fuck sake..." he mumbled softly and he did something which he kibda did regret.
"Hey idiot, look up." Harry said and Ben did, seeing in the reflection of the mirror that Harry started to shave his own head as well, Ben was already bald himself.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Ben exclaimed and Harry chuckled briefly with regret.
"Making sure you're not on your own?"
Ben saw that Harry did regret it partly but he couldn't help it but to hug him.
"Yea, yea. I know, I'm actually being a decent boyfriend. Anyway, you get to torture me further with this, since I can't reach it all." Harry said and Ben kissed him before taking over the razor and the two of them switched places.

"I can't believe you just did that." Ben said as he was back onto his hospital bed.
"Trust me... neither can I..." Harry mumbled.
"Are you okay?" Ben asked ans Harry nodded.
"Yea, despite it being an impulsive reaction of mine... I'm fine. Sure it's not something I'd do again, but part of me is glad I did. Because it made you feel better."
"Softy." Ben joked and Harry scoffed.
"So that's what you get when you're being nice, noted." he said and Ben took his hand.
"I just can't wrap my head around the fact that you, of all people, shaved your head for me..."
"Deal with it." Harry said as he kissed Ben tenderly.

Harry really wasn't looking forwards to go to school the next day.
"God why did I do this again...?" he mumbled.
His sisters laughed loudly when he got home the previous day, yet both of them had respect for him because of the gact he did it for Ben.
"Hey dork, you're gonna be late!" Harriette teased, she couldn't help it but to enjoy his little suffering. He did it himself anyway.
"Yea... I know..." Harry mumbled and he took a deep breath.
"Oh screw it..." he mumbled.
Everyone already knew that he was dating Ben, might as well show the guy how much he loves him.

The jaws dropped of the others (Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Jane, Lonnie, Chad, Doug, Audrey, Uma and Gil).
They all looked at him in shock and Uma laughed dryly.
"Nice bowlingball." Jay joked.
"Oh fuck you." Harry cussed.
"Oh my god... did you do that for Ben?" Jane asked and Harry nodded.
"That's so sweet!" Evie exclaimed.
"...as Ben's friends, shouldn't we do that too?" Doug asked.
"No. Definitely not." Jay said immediately.
"Why not? Being supportive ain't a bad thing." Mal said.
"You wouldn't." Audrey said and Mal looked at her with a smirk.
"Oh she definitely would." Carlos added.
"...do we all have to do it?" Cjad whined.
"Oh suck it up. Ben's our friend." Lonnie said
Gil, Jay, Chad and Audrey disliked the idea the most and Harry smirked.
"How about we take care of that after school? Then we could show Ben at the hospital?" he suggested and Lonnie looked at him.
"Sounds like a plan."
The four of them (Gil, Jay, Chad and Audrey) whined a bit and they got dragged to class by the others.
