New World [Gay Chandler Riggs/1D fusion fanfic]

Chapter 16

Harry's POV

"Dr. Tomlinson?" I heard a soft voice call as I sorted through all the stuff Chandler found that morning; I looked to the door as I saw him standing there. "Everything ok?" I asked, surprised that Chandler was speaking to me; I knew that Chandler didn't have anything against us, he was just a kid of few words; the strong silent type as the Americans call them.

"I cut my leg, I fell on the stairs" he said. I pushed the cans to one side of the table and motioned for him to sit, he exaggerated a limp that didn't exist and I knew immediately he was lying; some of Cole's and Ana's friends would come to my clinic and fake injuries exactly the same way to get out of school or events they didn't want to go too. "May I?" I asked as I grabbed the bottom of his pants and rolled the leg up.

After I rolled up his pants leg I was surprised; below his knee there was a long cut, but it was self-inflicted. It wasn't deep, in fact it just barely broke skin; there were some drops of blood but it wasn't exactly bleeding. The cut itself had a curve to it caused by Chandler's perspective as he dragged the blade across his skin. Why was he doing this?

"Well it doesn't seem too bad, when you said you fell down the stairs I was worried" I said, playing along. "I have a confession Dr. Tomlinson, I didn't fall down the stairs" he said as I cleaned the cut "I just...I wanted to talk to you" he finished. "What about? Everything ok?" I asked as I got up to close the door, feeling Chandler needed some privacy.

"I...I've developed feelings for Cole and I felt like I needed to tell you since we...live together and...he said that Louis doesn't want us...to...yeah..." he said softly staring at the floor. I was taken aback; was he seriously asking my permission to date my son? This was a first.

"Well, thanks for telling me" I said as I rolled down his pant's leg after cleaning it and standing up. Chandler took a step toward me before taking half a step back and offering his hand to shake; I smiled, stepped forward and hugged him. Chandler tensed up but didn't try to pull away and after a moment returned the hug, weakly though as if he was forcing himself.

The moment was interrupted as Louis walked "Harry I found some handcuffs" he said before he quickly hid the cuffs behind his back from Chandler. Chandler pulled away and quickly left the room as if embarrassed; whether from the hug or what Louis said I had no idea.

"What was that all about?" Louis asked, watching him go downstairs. "I have no idea" I said truthfully, Louis stepped closer and lowered his voice "So we found a uniform and finally some handcuffs...you want to go to bed early?"

Cole's POV

I sat with Enrique as we played with his fun-clay/playdoh "To be honest" he continued "I don't really like Aurora but she's saved us a couple of times so I can't really complain; she's the one that found the spear".

"Where did she find it?" I asked but he shrugged "She's kind of like your friend Chandler, she goes out to find stuff for us but she never told us where she found it" he leaned in closer "personally I think she killed someone for it since when anyone asks she loses her mind and gets really angry".

Enrique opened to his mouth to say something but closed it instead and said "So yeah that's the story of the time Jordan and I destroyed our mom's kitchen". I looked at him "Eric what are you-" I started saying a split second before the door opened and Aurora popped in her head and said "Eric it's time for bed".

Enrique nodded "Ok" he said before Aurora left; he started putting the fun-clay back into the containers "How did you know she was coming?" I asked, Eric smiled "Perks of being blind, super hearing" he chuckled "Also remind to actually tell you the story about the time Jordan and I destroyed the kitchen, it's really funny". Eric's face slightly fell "And thanks for hanging out with me all day, I know you probably didn't want too". I gently shook his shoulder "Nah don't mention it, it was fun" Enric reached down and pet Shylo as she pawed his leg "The girls seem to like you too".
