Here He Goes {JONNOR}

{5} Italy

~Jude's POV~

I woke up to a beeping noise next to me. Alarm clock I went to turn it off but heard voice.
"Don't."
Looking at the voice I saw Connor so half smiling.
"Connor?"
I whispered voice feeing dry.
"Hey.."
He stood up holding a cup with a straw. Taking it close to my mouth I used the straw to sip the cool water. Not cold since it felt like ice has melted.
"What happen?"
"The doctors took some test...your positive HIV..."
Changing subject I did best.
"Where are we?"
I asked as he put the cup down and he slowly rubbed my thigh where a blanket was covering my legs.
"Italy. Spain wouldn't hold you since of the virus.."
"Oh Connor I'm sorry I didn't tell you---"
"I thought you were cured Jude."
My heart broke as I used my hand to wipe my tear I looked at my lap.
"I..I was ...but then 2 weeks later when you went to visit your grandma in San Diego it was back...or just bigger..didn't really go away.."

~Connor's POV~

Jude made room for me on his bed I sat by him on his left as the IV was on his right arm. Frowning I let him rest his head in my neck as I laid back.
"I wanted to tell you..just didn't know the right time."
"Any time would've so we could be home--"
"But this trip we've been playing for years and I didn't want this to get in our way."
Jude cut me off saying that made me look down at him.
"I love you."
I said instead not wanting to fight.
"And I love you."

Day one Italy was wonderful after Jude woke up. We cuddled and watched reruns of friends in Italian. We even translated what we thought they were saying. When Jude fell asleep next to me I squeezes his shoulders lightly. Knowing in this moment I would never let him go.
