Thrill ride (A Eric Sohn x male reader story)

Ch 11

About two weeks have passed and it's the day of Harry's scan for his throat to check his vocal cords and I'm holding onto his hand while Eric sits outside as doctor Chang gets the anesthesia ready. Once he injects the anesthesia into Harry's IV the little boy immediately goes unconscious and doctor Chang preps the scope before putting it down Harry's throat. I watch silently as we observe his vocal cords doctor Chang humming softly when the scope reaches the vocal cords. "It seems his vocal cords aren't fully developed and are also a little damaged." I frown slightly as he pulls the scope out. "So he probably won't ever be able to talk will he?" The doctor gives me a little sympathetic expression. "Honestly probably not. It's a miracle he can even make certain noises." I frown feeling a little bad for the small boy but give a little nod. Doctor Chang gently pats my shoulder before leaving the room I staring down at the sleeping boy only to jump when an arm wraps around my shoulders only to relax when I see it's Eric. "What's the diagnosis?" I let out a sigh. "His vocal cords aren't fully developed and they're also damaged. So he probably won't ever talk." Eric immediately frowns looking sad and cuddles me into his side a little I laying my head on his shoulder. It's quiet between us for awhile until I admit softly. "I really don't want to let him go and have him be adopted by someone else." Eric pulls away a little and looks down at me with a sympathetic look. "I don't want to let him go either." I look back at the sleeping boy with a sigh starting to feel upset. "What are we going to do Eric? I really don't want to lose him but we don't have any way of raising a kid. We aren't even together or live together or anything." It's quiet on his part and I cautiously peek up at him he having a thoughtful look on his face. He then looks down at me and says with a serious expression. "Marry me." I give him a wide eyed look of pure shock. "W.... What?" He looks into my eyes and repeats himself. "Marry me. We get married and then adopt little man. I can buy us an apartment with my savings." I blink at him gaping for a moment before saying cautiously. "Where exactly do you suggest we get married?" He gives me a smile. "We can go to America and get married." I stare at him hesitantly. "I don't know Eric...." He gives me a pleading look. "Please Sander? You said it yourself that you don't want to lose Harry and I don't either." I frown slightly. "Yeah but marriage? Eric that's a big responsibility as well as raising a child. Are you sure you'd want to be stuck with me for years?" He gives me a sweet smile. "Honestly? Yes. Come on Sander I have faith that we can do this. That this will work out." I still feel a little hesitant and he suddenly starts to get down on one knee clutching at my hands. "Yamamoto Lysander will you please do me the honor of marrying me?" I bite my lip my heart beating out of my chest before I decide to take a chance and nod saying softly. "Yes." He grins and I carefully help him up since his knee is still hurt a little. I then look at him a little curiously. "So when exactly should we leave for America? When little man gets discharged?" Eric nods in agreement. "Yeah that way he can come with us. We can also go and you can meet my family." I blink at him in surprise my ears flattening against my head a little anxiously. "Do you think they'll accept you marrying a male hybrid and adopting a child?" He smiles at me reassuringly. "I'm sure they'll love you both." I slowly nod then turn my attention towards Harry who's starting to wake up I immediately giving him a smile. "Hey sweetie how are you feeling?" He groggily signs that his throat hurts a little and my expression softens. "How about some ice cream?" He perks up a little and nods I smiling softly. "I'll be right back. What flavor?" He tells me strawberry and I nod leaving the room to go get it. As I'm walking to the cafeteria I can't help but think about the fact that I'm now engaged and will soon be married and hopefully have a child. Shaking my head I grab the ice cream heading back upstairs and I smile softly seeing Eric beside Harry reading him a children's book. I smile and set the table so it's hovering over Harry's lap and hand the ice cream to the small boy who immediately lights up and starts eating it happily. I watch as I take a seat beside Eric he taking my hand and gives it a little affectionate squeeze I blushing a little shyly. We then continue to hang out until it's getting late Harry slowly dozing off with his stuffed fox and Eric pulls me onto his lap despite my protests and tells me to rest I grumbling but slowly fall asleep.
