The Timids: Oh, Honey You Know It Ain't Easy. (Fearless Vampire Killers FanFic)

To Hide All My Scars.

Laurence's POV

When we got back to the room the at Barronè had invaded we found him and Luke with a new nurse. Sarah looked up at us inquisitively and so we introduced ourselves. She told us that her name was Sarah and suggested that we go and collect some chairs from outside so that all five of us could be comfortable. Kier insists on getting mine for me, which l am increasingly greatfull for because l thourally doubt that l'd be able to carry the chair with my ribs feeling the way they do. The doctor had warned not to do any strenuous activities. Kier came back into the room dragging a chair with each arm, obviously trying to look stronger than he really is. l giggle as he bows to me and presents me with a chair. Barronè watches us with glassy eyes and l feel a sudden wave of nausia. Here are Kier and I flaunting our relationship when Barronès just lost his.

"Are you okay Laur?" Barronè whispers to me guiltily.

"l'm fine buddy, don't worry."

"Really? You looked like you were in loads of pain earlier..." He knew me too well, he knew that l would try to hide my pain so that l wouldn't be a burden on the rest of them. Just because we both know that l'm lying doesn't stop me trying it. "Yeah, it hurt a bit at the time, but l'm fine now." l assured him and he seemed much more relieved, until Kier cut in. "He's got two broken ribs." He says in monotone.

Barronès eyes widen dramatically and he makes a weird squeaky noise before jumping up and running across to me. He sits on the floor and puts his hands on my knees. "l'm so, so sorry Laurence! l didn't mean to hurt you! l was so scared. l don't know what l was thinking... l was- l just wanted Drew."

"l told you; l'm fine! lt was just a couple of ribs, it doesn't even hurt that much! C'me 'ere you!" l said and opened my arms wide for a hug, he stood up and carefully wrapped his arms around me as if he expected me to break at any moment. l pulled him down onto my lap; which hurt a lot, but l kept a blank face. Barronè was suprised but he relaxed quickly.

ln our and we all hug a lot, but Barronè has never been as cuddly as me, Kier and Drew are. As Drew was. Us three were so cuddly that our fans had even started making over ship names as well as the original two, Keveridge and The Timids. Barronè however had always been exclusively Drews.

"What did you have to tell him that for Kier?" l asked angrily. Barronè was already feeling shit enough, he didn't need the added guilt of having hurt me!

"He asked if you were okay, so l told him the truth."

"He doesn't need to know the truth!"

"Yes he does! We can't lie to him!"

"l wasn't lying, l was protecting him."

"You don't need to protect me, Kiers right. l asked and l needed to know the truth." Barronè said quietly as if scared to get caught in the crossfire of our arguing. l look down at him and sigh softly. "l'm sorry Cy. l was just trying to help, l don't want you hurting."

"So are you really okay, or..." Luke trailed off, not wanting to accuse me of lying but getting his point across all the same. "l'm fine, really. it hurt quite a bit earlier, but the doctor gave me some pain killers. l'm feeling better already!" l explained to them although for the first time l was being honest about my pain.
