luke knocked on the door, "hey."
calum looked up in confusion, "who are you?" he said bluntly. luke only gave him a small smile, walked in and sat on one of the chairs next to calums bed.
"no really, who are you?" calum asked but with a little nicer tone.
"my name is luke." luke said with a sad smile and reached a hand out waiting for calum to shake it.
cal shook the younger mans hand, still a little confused why he was in his room, "so not to be rude but why are you here?" cal said with innocence in his eyes.
"i wanted too."
"oh... why?"
luke let out a small chuckle, "well who wouldnt want to speak to a beautiful man like you?"
calum blushed and looked down with a small smile, "thank you."
"no problem callie." the nickname made calums smile wider. "so calum, how has your day been."
the tan boy shook his head, "eh it was fine, some doctors came in and did some stuff, then i ate and thats basically it."
"and how was yours luke?"
"its going good so far, i get to spend time with my wonderful husband and i got paid today too, so that was a bonus." the husband part made calums smile falter abit.
"husband?" luke only nodded, but still had a sad look on his face. "yeah, you wanna hear about him?"
"s-sure." luke nodded again and began to tell calum about his true love.
"oh he is absolutly beautiful. he has beautiful brown eyes and nice skin and tattoos that you could just die for.
"he loves dogs so much, adores them, i remember he brought home 8 whne we agreed on only getting one but i couldnt even try to be mad when he said 'they looked lonely so i took them all'." calum giggled abit because it sounds like something he would do, and luke just looks foundly at him.
"he used to love me so much, i remember on our wedding night and we danced and danced and danced and then we went to a pizza joint down the street from the chapel we got married at and had two extra large pizzas... it was wonderful."
"u-used? what happened are you guys fighting?"
"oh heavens no, we could never be mad at each other for even a second." calum was still confused, "so what happened?"
luke sighed, " he doesnt remember me. he has Alzheimer's and the doctors don't think he has much time left. also we dont have the money we need to pay off the bills, either let him go insane or help him."
calum frowned when lukes voice cracked, "im so sorry. i didnt mean-" but luke cut him off,
"its okay, its not anyones fault. he was born with the gene but he is just so young." luke looked up to stop tears from coming down.
calum scooted over and patted the side next to him, "wanna cuddle about it?" he said hopefully. luke laughed and nodded getting up and sitting down next to the boy. calum then wrapped his arms around luke and thats when luke started to cry into his shoulder, "its not far, he is way too young, why would god do this to us? why?" luke sobbed.
the only thing cal could do was hold him tighter while running his fingers through the blonds hair. "im sure it will all work out in the end, its okay blondie."
luke smiled at the nickname, feeling nostalgia.
"he called me that all the time."
"o-oh im sorry, ill just stick to luke." luke frowned, "no, please call me that."
calum nodded and held luke tighter, but the doctor came in and asked to speak with luke out in the hallway.
"hello mr.hood, his health is going back down. whatever was helping him, stopped. we dont know why it stopped but if it doesnt show back up then we're going to have to cut the cord. I'm so sorry, mr.hood."
luke broke down, sobbing into his knees as he sat on the floor, "please god, help him. i cant survive without him. he is my light, my one and only, please dont take me away from him." luke whispered.
when luke gathered himself up, he walked back into the room, "hi?" calum said from his space on the bed.
luke gave him a sad smile, "hello cal."
"who are you?"

luke leaned against tomb stone that was just placed there. the fineral has ended, but luke doesnt remember how long he has been.
Calum Thomas Hood
hella rad
he has been tracing the name and the wording, laughing every once in awhile, remembering when him and cal talksd about what they wanted to their stones. it took some long talks with joy and he was so happy when they got it, because, its what cal wanted.
"oh god cal, how did we end up here. i remember when we were about fifteen and stairing at the ceiling of my room after we first did it. do you remember that? there was so much love. or when we had our first date, you took me into the forest and we just watched the sunset and watched the stars come out along with the moon. that was a great day."
luke smiled at the memories, but then started to sob again when he relized there will be no new ones.
"we were gonna get kids together. we were gonna have a boy and girl. name them after ash and mike. little mikey and little ashton. but you left. you left me and oh god i-i just miss you so much. please come back to me callie, please dont leave me to fend for myself. you said you would always protect me, i need my knight in shining armor to come and take me away. please cal, please dont leave me alone."
luke was now laying on his back, tears leaking into his ears and his breathe heavy from sobbing.
he sat back up and leaned against the stone again, realizing what he was going to do.
"ill be with you soon baby, just you wait."
then luke kissed the tomb stone and got up to leave.

about a week later, there was another funeral just right next to cals.
"atleast theyre together now, they will be together forever." ms.hemmings said with a shaky voice.
mikey and ashton were on their knees sobbing into each others shirts, "they left us ashy, our best friends left us."
ashton kissed michaels neck and just whispered, "but theyre happy and together, so its okay."
"im gonna miss them so much." michael said starting to cry even more.
"me too baby, me too."
