Unlikely Bond

I Promise

*5 days later*

*Roi's POV* (WHAT!?)

Huh..Where..where am I? Am I dead?

I open my eyes.

Ugh...no. I'm in the hospital. Ron must have come over when I took the pills. God why can't I just leave? Alex isn't with me anymore. I don't think he ever will. I miss him. I miss his smell. His laugh. His touch. Actually speaking of that, who's holding my hand.

I turn and see...no...it can't be...

Roi: Alex?

He must have fallen asleep because at that he slowly looked up. He looked confused at first. But then he smiled, and I smiled back. He then starts to cry.

Alex: Roi... you're...you're awake!

He then comes up to me and kisses me.

Roi: Of course I would. Don't think something like this is gonna bring me down.

We both laugh, and he rests his head on my shoulder. I look at him and use my hand to dry his tears.

Roi: Have you been by my side this whole time?

Alex: Yep. I wanted to be beside you when you woke up.

Roi: I'm glad you did.

Alex: Why?

Roi: You're the first thing I want to see everyday.

Alex: Me too. Listen...I'm so sorry for what I did. I thought that it would be better if left you for a little bit. I thought it would make you happy.

Roi: What? Why?

Alex: Because you wouldn't have to deal with my nightmares. And me accidentally hurting you. But it turns out I was wrong.

Roi: Look I forgive you Alex. But I couldn't live without you. I mean, come on, I almost died. Listen I promised we'd get through this together, and we will. But I need you to commit to this. No matter what happens. I don't care if you keep waking me up in the middle of the night because of them. I don't care if I get hit in the balls because of it either. As long as we're together, we can get through this no matter what. Okay?

Alex: Okay. I promise I will go through this with you, and I won't leave you again.

Roi: Good.

Alex: I love you.

Roi: I love you too.

We kiss for a little bit after that. A few minutes later the doctor comes in.

D: Ah, Roi. Glad see you're finally awake.

Roi: Glad to be awake.

D: Alright so you're going to have to stay here another 24 hours. Just to make sure nothing happened to you while you were in the coma.

Roi: Alright.

D: And you must be Alex. His husband I presume?

Alex: Yep.

D: Can I speak with you privately?

Alex: Sure. Be right back babe.

Roi: Okay.

Then they leave the room. I wonder what they'll talk about.

*Alex's POV*

We leave the room into the hallway.

Alex: What's wrong? Does it have to do with Roi?

D: No. It has to do with you.

Alex: Why? What's the matter with me?

D: Well, the man who brought Roi here..

Alex: Ron.

D: Yes, him. We asked him why Roi would try to commit suicide. He then explained to us about the incident, your nightmares, and your surprise leaving. And I think I have a solution.

Alex: Okay?

D: We provide trauma counseling here. If you want, we can get you a therapist to help ease the nightmares a little bit.

This...actually doesn't seem like a bad idea. I think this could actually help out both me and Roi.

Alex: Really? That would be great. But how much would this cost?

D: Don't worry. For victims of sexual assault or physical abuse, it's free-of-charge.

Alex: Oh wow. Thank you so much.

D: My pleasure. Now, it will probably be a three week period of time, with 4 sessions every week. You would come here for those sessions from 1pm to 3pm.

Alex: Ok.

D: So we need a day for you to start. When do you think would be best?

Alex: I don't know. Can I discuss it with Roi?

D: Of course. I'll be back in five minutes.

Alex: Ok.

The doctor leaves. I go back inside the room.

Roi: So what did you guys talk about?

Alex: So the doctor offered me free sessions to help me get through my PTSD.

Roi: Really!? That's great. So when do you start?

Alex: That's the thing. I don't know. When do you think I should do it.

Roi: The sooner the better. It's up to you.

Alex: Ok. How about Friday?

Roi: Sounds great.

Two minutes later the doctor walks in, asking if we have made a decision. We both say "Friday" and he leaves us alone.

Roi: Well at least we got that over with.

Alex: Yep.

Roi: Are you nervous?

Alex: Not at all. Because this means I will get a little better.

Roi: Of course you will. But! You have to go through with this. I don't want you to spend the rest of your life afraid of what had already happened. That's in the past now. I want us to have a great future.

Alex: I know and I will. That's what's best. I want to be the strong guy you want me to be, and I want to be there when you have your bad times too.

Time to tell him what I want.

Alex: And... I want to be strong, caring dad as well.

*Roi's POV*

Wait a minute! Did he just say what I think he said?

Roi: Wait! You mean...

Alex: Yes! I wanna have kids. I want us to have a family together.

Roi: Aw babe. *kiss* But this can only happen if you do this. Listen: you have to promise me that you will actually do these sessions. Because if you don't, I don't think we'll be able to have the family we want. Do you promise?

Alex: Yeah. I promise.

Hey guys!! I made a sort of long one this time, and hope you enjoyed it.

Yay, Roi's ok!! Obviously I wouldn't kill him off. So I'm probably gonna time jump through all of the therapy things 'cause it's completely unnecessary that I would have to write all that.

Also, I'm gonna get these guys a kid soon so I keep reading for that part. Thanks guys.

MKayBye!
