Chapter Thirty-Eight:

Vaughn continued to huff as his breathing started to elevate once more. He knew that he should have stayed home but the moment that he heard the words 'Athiss', leave Ezekiel's lips he knew that he was screwed.

And although he knew that he felt horrible, there was no way that he could stay at home.

But this was way more than he had ever expected. He knew that someone had to tell Athiss and they had to tell him before he found out the hard way. He wanted it to be himself, and not because it would put him back in Athiss' good graces, but because he wanted to be with the man no matter what obstacles they had to overcome.

He knew that this was the way that he should have been before.

But what matters now, is he is that man right now.

Taking a deep breath Vaughn whispered: "Someone has to tell him, and although I want it to be me. I'm not sure I'm the right one for the job." Just as he went to try and stand he felt himself swaying once more. So, pushing his head closer to the trashcan Vaughn whimpered as he thought: "My love is a private man, and this wasn't something that he'd like to have the world see."' But Vaughn honestly, wasn't sure what he could do to help.

He wanted to help. But there were certain things that he knew that he couldn't hold the backlash of no matter how much he tried. And unfortunately, this was one of those things.

Slowly closing his eyes Vaughn gripped onto the trashcan as he felt the room spin around him once more. After a few moments, he felt a hand on his arm, as he turned his head to the side he eyed his old boss, and just as he went to speak he heard: "You look like utter shit Vaughn. Honestly, you look like you just were ran over by a freight train. Are you feeling alright?"

Biting on his lips Vaughn timidly opened his eyes to look at the man that he was moments away from lying to when he heard the man scoff as words fell from his mouth. "Never mind, you're still as stubborn as ever and would tell me that you were fine. Even though I can clearly see that you are not. How about I help you up, and over to the couch so that you don't topple over while trying to walk."

Swallowing hard Vaughn licked his lips once before he quickly nodded before whispering in a wheezy breath: "I'd like that, thank you."

Moments later Vaughn let the trash can go as he did he sluggishly began to stand with the help of Ezekiel. He could feel the man's fingers wind around him, as he gradually made them move one slow movement at a time.
