Aleks didn’t fully understand what had happened between Kevin and James, at one minute, they were the perfect couple and now, they were falling apart. He’d watched them fall into chaos and now he watched as his best friend lay motionless in a hospital bed, not waking up from the deep sleep that he had fallen into. He needed Kevin to wake up and he needed him to be okay — that was all that Aleks could ask for, all that he really wanted right now. He knew what had happened to James was for his own good, knowing that he needed the honest help that he would be getting in the insitution. Aleks knew that he couldn’t stand to watch things go on like this, not anymore, not like they had been. Not when that other side of James was the reason that Kevin was here in the hospital.

Looking at his fragile body and at his black eye, the way his arm was held at his side, a dull blue cast staring back at him. He looked at the bruises that littered his face and arms and sighed; how could he have let this go on for as long as it had? Why didn’t he try to save Kevin when he had the chance to, when he knew things were going sour? Aleks didn’t know and now, here he was, beating himself up over it and knowing that he couldn’t help either one of them right now. He could only protect Kevin when he woke up — could only tell him the events and how they had played out the day before. He could only vow to protect him now and in the future, and that was exactly what Aleks was planning on doing once things were okay.

Once things were simple and his best friend were patched up and taken care of. He would be there for Kevin, no matter what it would be or why. He would be there this time, he would not let the person he had fallen for get hurt like this again, not at as long as he could help it. Aleks would be there and there would be no arguments, he’d make sure of it. He would keep his cool and help out when he was needed to and even then, he would try to do it all. He had an obsessive complex when it came to being helpful and needing to do things and this was one of them. He needed Kevin and Kevin needed him right now.

Sighing softly, he looked at the form in the bed again and watched the monitors next. He would keep his eyes on them as best as he could and try to make sure that nothing mixed them up and that nothing would bother Kevin in his dreary sleep. He would be there and he would not let him slip away like he had nearly done before Aleks had gotten to the hospital. Something in his voice that night had calmed the other down and made him stop his jerking and trying to get away from the doctors that had a tight grip on him. Even in his injured and terrible state, he had taken note of the fact that things were about to happen to his now ex-boyfriend. That things may never be the same for any of them.

Maybe it was then that Aleks took it upon himself to be there for him and to not let him go, or maybe it was because all along, he had felt himself falling for Kevin. From the very first time in a Skype call together to the last time that Kevin had visited Colorado. To even now, when things looked horrifying and tiring. He would be there.
