The Owl Loves The Fox [Vantoonz One Shots]

Excuses? No, It's Selfishness

Luke was alone with Evan in their apartment. It seem quiet but Luke started to groan and scream for no reason at all. Threatening Evan with a gun here and there, Evan actually liking the threats. It came down to Luke tossing his weapons onto the floor in defeat.

It was all a quick turn of events. Luke wanted to lose control but he didn't want to hurt Evan. The man tried to calm the older one down with saying he couldn't ever hurt him out of hate. Luke wasn't taking it in. He was starting to lose control on his thoughts, babbling whatever came to his mind which caused him to repeat "I don't wanna hurt you."

Evan wasn't listening for any key problems. Or even thought Luke could be having an issue. All he did was lean against the bed full of hate for himself while Luke was weakly reaching out for Evan, quietly calling for him but it was too late. Luke had fallen quickly into a deep sleep out of no where. He didn't feel sick or anything but it was just random.

It took Evan awhile to realize Luke was becoming a lot more pale than he was, rushing him to the hospital soon after. When it came down to hospitals, Luke hated them but never knew he was taken to one until he woke up. Evan was still a bit panicky from what was suddenly happening.

There's always something wrong with him.. he can never focus on us and all he can manage to do is hurt my feelings..maybe I should just leave him here.

Evan agreed with his thoughts and decided to leave until a doctor had stepped into the room. "Am I interrupting you..?" He asked quietly.

"No..not at all, I was just getting ready to leave." Evan had his jacket on. "Ah well, we tested Luke when you got here with him about an hour ago and it turns out he's deep into the last stage of Cirrhosis. Which in this case, because of how many drugs he has to take to control his pain, depression, anxiety, blood pressure, excetra. It's damaged his liver, something you need in order to live." The man explained. Evan nodded, his expression turning into slight fear. "We can still help him but it would mean he has to go through surgery to get a liver transplant."

Evan just nodded again and stood there. He felt rejected because Luke was in pain he couldn't control. Now Evan really felt stupid. "So..would that explain his mindless talking and why he looks like he's in constant pain?" The doctor only nodded before speaking again. "If these symptoms were showing up early as in months ago, it would've been best to bring him in then but I'm assuming this is the first time he's passed out due to the pain."

"Yeah..it was the first time I had seen it.." he sat down, next to Luke and stared at him. Evan felt terrible. All this time Luke had been seriously ill and he brushed it off as Luke's simple excuses as to not wanting to have fun. How could he have been so blind? Luke's not perfect, he knows he not because of the pills he has to take to be "normal".

God that was such a dick move of me to do..

Hey there.
Read this only if want desire to.

So as I was thinking, this is something serious. Something you really don't see in stories anymore. Especially short stories of a serious illness hurting ones lover. I thought I'd bring it to attention that I'm well educated into heartbreaking bullshit like this. But yes, drugs and drinking is the number one reason of Cirrhosis. There's four stages and it can easily be treated. Of course it can be deadly though. My dad brought it to my attention one day when he shouted at me for damaging my liver for taking something as simple as ibuprofen for my knee pain. I would be careful with your prescribed drugs. I'm not trying to scare anyone but later in life it can effect you.

Adiós.
