"I'm hurting inside-out"

Coming Home

AN: Juicy, Eddie & the boys all live in Australia.

  A small sob escapes Eddie's lips as Gaege helps him into the passenger seat at the front of the car. "Please Gaege, it hurts..." Eddie was in so much pain that it almost hurt Juicy to watch. They were out with the boys when Mully decided it was a good idea to scare and chase Eddie around, unfortunately Eddie had tripped over his own two feet when Mully came up behind to scare him. Ultimately Eddie had fallen and popped his knee.

Now Gaege and Eddie were going home from the hospital and Eddie felt like he might have to beg Gaege for painkillers all the way back to their house.

"Please!" Hot tears started to build in Eddie's eyes, "Gaege, please..." The tears start to flow down his cheeks as he starts to look up into Gaege's beautiful green eyes.

"I know darling, once we get home, okay?" Geage was an amazing boyfriend on and off camera, right now he needed to be careful and loving so Eddie didn't get too overly emotional. Eddie could only nod while he waited for Gaege to fix his seatbelt, "Home..." Eddie muttered before he was fast asleep.

Gaege was careful with his driving, he was always careful, but with a hurt Eddie in the car with him... There was a level of careful parents would practice for so they could carry their children inside late at night.

The Boy's recording had started at four in the afternoon, Mully and Eddie ending it early at six instead of their planned recording that was set for from four till ten. Gaege had taken Eddie to the hospital immediately and they stayed there for tests and scans until eleven. The hospital stay was longer than expected, but the Doctor informed Gaege that because Eddie had injured the knee before, they had to take more precautions. Home was only around the corner when Eddie started to wake up, "Gaege.. Mmm?" Eddie, poor thing, was still very delirious. "When... Home?"

"Almost there babe, just around the corner."

Gaege pulled into the driveway, Eddie had already fallen asleep again because his system was still filled with painkillers. "Eddie, babe wake up."

"Gaege..?" Eddie mumbles, trying desperately to open his eyes to see his boyfriend.

"It's me babe, we're home, gonna put you to bed." Gaege unbuckled Eddie's seatbelt for him and hooked both arms around and under him. Gaege carried Eddie inside, the door unlocking for him. The house was set up on a smart system so if things like this happened or they stayed up too long outside, they were able to get inside without too much hassle. Placing Eddie gently onto the couch Gaege was able to turn on lights and set up everything Eddie would need for the next few nights. Eddie wasn't allowed to sleep upstairs in their bedroom, since he would constantly need help getting up and down the flight of stairs. Everything Eddie needed was downstairs anyway including the bathroom where painkillers were held, kitchen for food; even if he didn't eat much, the couch for a place to sleep and cuddle with Gaege, and Gaege's studio was downstairs too so Eddie could call for him if he needed assistance or something to ease the pain.
