Nicks POV:
Its been 2 days since Arthur flew over already half of the time that hes here just wasted on teaching him where everything is in the house and showing him around town.
"Good morning beautiful, after the last two days I wanted you to sleep in. You hungry?" Arthur says
"Morning" i say sleepy "Its strange having you in the house and not Dylan, im not used to having the luxury of someone cooking for me anymore" I chuckle and give him a little kiss before sitting down
"So whats the plan for today?" He asks me
"Nothing, I could just sleep all day" I respond and stare at the set table
"Can I ask you something?" I say in a serious tone
"Yes of course" he responds
"Did I ever tell you what happened to my parents?" I ask him and he shakes his head
"Not directly but as kids we were really nosy so my mum told us what happened" he tells me feeling bad about the fact that he knew something he wasnt supposed to
"Oh..." I respond surprised
"Why? Do you want to talk about it?" He says sounds genuinely concerned
"No... its alright" I respond and he walks over to me and kneels down and holds my hand
"I cant imagine how difficult it must be for you but you don't have to hide anything from me" he tells me the memory gap hurting even more and I feel tears building up inside of my eyes
"Hey don't cry im here" he says comforting
"Im sorry I..." I say unable to continue speaking "I can't do this anymore..."
"Do what?" He says concerned
"Act like everything is fine... because it's not... I know that I love you and I just know I felt this way longer than you know but I don't remember... I don't remember the Lego bricks you mentioned in your proposal, I don't remember my parents and god I don't even remember which school I went to" I admit and Arthurs eyes widen at my confession "I didn't want to distract you from the last race of the season im sorry" i start sobbing uncontrollably
"Hey, it's okay... we're Engaged for goodness sake nothing could ever be more distracting than thinking about our wedding... god im so sorry" He responds
"Im sorry" I say as he pulls me in for a hug
"Don't apologise, it's not your fault, we knew that something like this could happen alright... we will get through this too... together and forget about old memories because we're going to make so many better ones that you won't forget" he says holding me tight "I promise" he says calming me down
"Memories or not... I know every piece of me is so deeply in love with you... I don't think any tumour can change that" I say with a smile and he presses his lips on mine, his thumbs caressing my cheeks as he hold me tight
"I love you so fucking much Nick" he says after the kiss our foreheads still touching "whatever gets thrown our way we're going get through it" He says and grabs my hand "together" he squeezes my hand
"Together" I repeat after him and wrap my arms around him and he holds me tight
