Forever Yours - A LankyBox Fanfiction Story

Chapter 16 - Let Me Take Care Of You (Adam And Justin's POVs)

Adam's POV

Justin was still running a fever the next day. Fortunately, he didn't have to be rushed to the hospital last night, which was such a relief. I still kept my eyes on him, though, not letting him get out of bed unless he really needed to. DJ and Tristan went out, so it was just me and him at the house.

"How about you just rest for today, Buttercup?" I asked him, stroking his hair. He sighed. I could tell he was more than fed up with being sick all the time. He just wanted to feel better again and not have to keep lying to our fans, telling them we were just out on some sort of vacation when in reallity, we were doing everything to keep Justin's health stable. He hates having to lie to our fans.

"Let's make some videos, Adam," Justin finally answered after a long silence. I shook my head. There was no way I was going to let him film even one video today. Not in this feverish state he was in. I'd gladly make the videos for our fans myself if I had to.

"No video-making for you today, Buttercup," I said, kissing him, "not with that fever you're running." Justin let out another sigh. He was getting all worked-up now. I reached for his hand to give it a squeeze, but he pushed my hand away.

"Just one video, Adam," he said, now sitting up and getting out of bed.

"Buttercup, you're sick. You have to rest. I'll go make the videos myself if you want." That did it. Justin roughly turned my head so I was facing him. He looked straight into my eyes and spoke with so much anger and frustration in his voice.

"JUST ONE VIDEO, ADAM! I JUST WANT TO FILM ONE FUCKING VIDEO FOR OUR FANS! Is that too much to fucking ask for? I never had any say about me getting sick every fucking time, and now, I don't get to decide for myself whether or not I can make videos? I'm the one who's fucking sick, Adam! And I want to make a video! IT's FOR THE FANS, GODDAMN IT!"

Once Justin had finished talking, he turned away from me. He went back to bed and buried his face into his pillow. He was crying. Oh gosh!

Justin's POV

I cried into my pillow as I went back to my bed. I couldn't believe I just totally lost it in front of Adam. I knew he was just trying to look out for me and I loved him for that; but I guess I was just so fed up with being sick all the time that my emotions just came pouring out. As I have mentioned before, I hate being sick and I hate having to be looked after. Why did I have to get sick again?

As I cried some more, I felt strong arms gently lifting me off my bed and holding me.

"Shhh!" Adam whispered comfortingly: "Shhh! It's okay, Buttercup. It's okay. Don't you cry now." But no matter how hard I tried, more tears left my eyes, soaking my boyfriend's t-shirt as he held me tighter. He was being so nice to me even after I literally yelled in his face earlier just because he wanted me to get some rest instead of filming. How could I be such a bad boyfriend?

"I... I'm... I'm so... I'm so sorry, Adam," I sobbed. I was going to say more, but Adam stopped me.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, Buttercup. I know you're tired of being unwell almost every day, and I know how frustrating it is. If you want to just let it all out, I'm right here. I don't care how many times you yell, swear, or scream at me. I won't turn my back on you. I love you more than anything, Justin. I love all of you. I loved you at your best, and I'm gonna love you just as much when you're at your worst. You remember that, okay?" I slowly nodded.

"I'm so lucky to have you as my boyfriend, Adam," I said, my eyes getting heavy as I lay there in his arms. He smiled.

"No, Buttercup. I'm the lucky one. Now, you go get some rest. We'll make a video later, okay?" My heart jumped with glee.

"Really? Thanks, Adam!"

"You're very welcome, Buttercup. But promise me that you'll stay in bed and let me take care of you right after we film, alright?" I agreed with no hesitation. Moments later, I was asleep in Adam's Arms.

(Okay, this chapter was quite intense. Not gonna lie. Y'all stick around for the next one. Poor Justin! Getting sick all the time! Adam is so good at taking care of him though haha! See y'all!)
