Colours of You

It was in the middle of the night and Nick arose from his sleep with tears in his eyes, he looked around his hospital room, panicking, reaching out to grab his mum's arm who was asleep on the chair next to him "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" "I'm in so much pain, mum." "It's okay." She stroked his hair "Look at me, baby." Nick looked up at Sarah, tears still in his eyes. Nick put his head down. The blonde lied back down "What do you need?" "C-Ch-" "You need Charlie? It's pretty late, it's around 2am, he has school tomorrow." "Mum, please." He whimpered. Sarah handed Nick his phone as he found Charlie's contact, calling him.

Charlie answered "Nick, what's wrong?" "Pain." "Is your mum awake?" "Yeah, she's getting a nurse." "Okay, I'll be there in about 20 minutes, I need to get ready and be quiet and I'll be over." "Okay, Char?" "Yeah?" "I love you." "I love you too, see you soon." Charlie hung up, getting out of bed, getting dressed in less than 10 minutes, making his way out of his room with his jacket, phone and keys as Charlie's dad came downstairs "Charlie, where are you going?" "Nick's in hospital." "Do you want me to drive you?" "Yes please." The brunette sat on the stairs, getting on his shoes. Once they were tied, he pulled on his coat, opening the front door, sitting on the car for his dad.

While Charlie's dad was driving him to the hospital, the brunette was looking at their pictures together. Once they got there, the brunette got out, walking in "Dad, can you let the school know that I won't be in tomorrow?" "Sure." The brunette walked up to the front desk "Excuse me, I'm looking for Nick Nelson." "Follow me." He followed the nurse upstairs to the room as she opened the door. Charlie ran over "Hey you." "Hey." Nick moved over as Charlie removed his shoes "Have you been given more medicine?" "Yeah." "You look really rough." "I feel it." Charlie laid down with Nick lying his head on his chest "You're so cute." "Shut it, I'm not well." "I know, it's okay." Charlie rubbed his back as he looked up. Charlie caressed his cheek slowly before pressing a kiss to his forehead. Nick nuzzled his head into his chest and smiled at the feeling of Charlie rubbing his back slowly.

The blonde spent the rest of the week recovering from surgery and the week went by and he was feeling much better, and Charlie was helping him back up his things while the two were talking about the next steps "Nick, stop it. I want to have children with you one day, we can try for a surrogate if we ask around in a few years. I never want you to tell me that you never want them to be with me, I don't want the father of my children to grow up with someone else. I love you and I want to be with you, okay?" "Okay." "Don't think for one minute that I don't love you, because I love you so much more than anyone. Do you understand me?" "Yeah. I do and I love you too and I actually really hope in a few years, we could both try for surrogacy and see if it comes out well." "I really hope so, ready to go?" "Yeah." Charlie grabbed Nick's bag, putting it on his back "All we need to do is sign discharge forms and we'll be out of here." "Yeah." The blonde walked out of his room where the papers were waiting with a pen. Nick signed them and handed them back to the nurse who briefly checked them over before placing them on her desk.

The two walked out hand in hand where Nick's mum was waiting outside with Nellie. Sarah let go of Nellie's lead as she ran up to him, jumping up. Nick grabbed Nellie's front paws "Do you have medicine to pick up?" "They said Ibuprofen but I'm allergic to it. Mum, do you remember when I started year 7 and I wasn't well and I had to take it but you had to take me home right after form as I kept being sick?" "I remember that, Charlie are you staying?" "I'll head home soon." "Alright." "Yeah, thank you for the offer though, I need to revise." "Oh bless you." "Yeah." They got down Charlie's road as the brunette opened his front door, handing Sarah his bag "I'll see you soon, just let me know if you don't feel well." "I'll be fine, I promise." "If you say so. Call me when you get home." "I will. I love you." "I love you more." Charlie closed the door behind him as Oliver came running in, hugging his brother's legs "Hey little man." He picked him up "Charlie, I need your help." "What with Olly?" "Geography." "I do History, so your going to have to ask Nick once we go upstairs." He slid off his shoes, resting his brother on his shoulders.
