A Trouble With The Mind (DenNor) <Wattys2016>

Hospital

"My shirt? What do you mean?" Mathias asked, looking down.

He turned red, "Oh...oops..."

"Well, where are your pants?" Mathias poked his legs.

Lukas shrugged, groaning. He arched his back in pain, biting his lip.

"Lukas, calm down."

"But it hurts!!"

"What hurts?" Mathias said softly.

"Everything!"

Mathias checked his fever again and eyes widened slightly. It was 103° Fahrenheit.

Not good.

"Lukas, calm down, the medicine will work better if you calm down," Mathias smoothed his hair.

Lukas calmed down a bit, closing his eyes. He began to drift off.

"Lukas, eyes open," Mathias sternly said.

"Sleep first," Lukas yawned.

"If your sleep, you have a large probability of not waking up," Mathias countered.

Lukas opened his eyes, yawning.

"Pain?"

"Seven out of ten," he groaned.

"Relax and let the medicine work it's easy into your system," Mathias kissed his head, standing up.

"I'm going to put your stats in the computer, will you talk so I know you're awake?"

"Fine, what about?"

"Hobbies."

"Well, you know I--augh!!" Lukas groaned, arching his back in pain, "Trash c--" before he could finish, he threw up all over himself and the bed.

He sat there, sobbing.

"What's wrong with me?!" He cried, pulling at his hair, "Why can't I have cancer?! They have a fucking chance!!" He screamed, sobbing.

Mathias walked over to him, rubbing his back.

"Lukas, you'll be fine okay? I won't let anything happen," Mathias said softly. "Let's get you cleaned up," he said, removing the blanket.

"Washrag!" He yelled into the hall, waiting. "New gown as well as blankets!"

Soon a nurse came in and changed Lukas while Mathias finished putting the data in the computer.

After that, Lukas just sat there, crying. His head was throbbing and it hurt to move.

"Mathias... I don't feel right," he said.

Yes, he was scared. He didn't want to die and never see his brother, but he didn't want to live with the pain.

"Call Emil... Please? Have him come back..." Lukas looked at his boyfriend, eyes pleasing.

Mathias nodded and called Emil. They talked for a bit and then hung up.

"He said he'll be on the first plane here," Mathias looked at him.

Lukas nodded, "Can I just... Have a hug?" He asked, looking at Mathias, his face stained with dry tears.

Mathias walked over and hugged him gently.

"I love you Dane." He said.

"I love you Lukas," he sniffled, holding back tears.

Lukas sighed, "I'm feeling a bit better..." He looked at Mathias.
