Aarons POV
"robert has septicaemia. We think we have caught it quick enough so he should be okay, but just to be on the safe side he needs to remain here for a few days. If you would like to come and see him follow me" and the doctor walked away as my mum asked if she should come. I told her no because I wanted to be on my own with Robert for a few minutes to find out how he got the cut.
Roberts POV
I opened my eyes to see Aaron walking in through the door. I gave him a weak smile as that's all I could manage right now, and he smiled back. "Hey beautiful" he said to me. He called me beautiful for the first time and I felt amazing. "Hey, even more beautiful" I replied as Aaron giggled. "How are you?" He asked me. "I'm okay, getting there. Just have to stay in here for a few days, boring!" I laughed slightly and Aaron smiled. "Robert, I don't want to push you but how did you get this cut? It's just-" and he stopped. "Just what?" I asked him. "It's just I used to cut myself and I was wondering if that's what this was. Is it?" It took me a few seconds but I replied with a nod. "Oh Robert! Why? What happened did someone say something?" He asked panicking. "No. But that's why. I was worried about someone saying something. About us. Your whole family hate me there's no way they'll accept us. Why can't I just be a normal person?" I was on the verge of tears and Aaron came up to me and wrapped his arms around me. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me you know that? And no matter what anyone says they don't make my decisions and if I want to be with you then I will, so forget everyone else okay? It's just me and you" and he smiled and I replied back with a simple "I love you" he said "I love you too" and we kissed  and hugged for what felt like hours. I never wanted to let go.

Aaron stayed for a few hours and I said "you can go now if you're getting bored haha" "Whattt? are you joking of course I'm not leaving you I'm staying overnight" he said cheerfully. "You don't have to do that babe you need proper sleep" "yes and I will have proper sleep here, because then I know you're okay" he smiled and I didn't bother answering because he'd just argue with me about it so i smiled back. "I'm so lucky to have you" I said to him. "Are you sure? I mean I am reallyyyyy annoying. And plus I'm way luckier to have you" he said as he ruffled my blonde hair. "You're talking to the man lying in a hospital bed who has had you worried sick for the past 24 hours, how is that lucky?!" I giggled. "Well, this doesn't matter. I'm lucky to have you anyway" and we kissed again.
Aarons POV
we pulled apart and I sat down on the chair next to him. "Sooo I guess this is my bed for the night then?" I laughed. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that we don't do luxury accommodation" "oh it's okay I'll write down my complaints in the morning" I said to him and we both giggled like little girls. I was so happy to have him and to see him like this was heartbreaking but I knew he was getting better so that was the main thing.

It came 10pm and Robert had fallen asleep. I tried to get to sleep myself but I couldn't stop thinking about how he did this to himself, and how now I knew what it was like when I cut myself and what it does to the people around you. I never even realised it was hurting them just as much as it was hurting me. I wondered if Robert did this all the time or if it was just a one time thing. I'd never seen his full body so I didn't know if he had any scars. I eventually drifted off in my thoughts, and was soon fast asleep.
Roberts POV
"Aaron, Aaron!" I heard Robert calling me so I immediately sat up. "Yeah?" He said. "Nothing, just wanted to wake you up. I've been awake for agesss" I giggled and he said "yeah that's because you fell asleep so early!! I was awake for ages after you!" He replied back. "I was tired okay? It's tiring lying here in this bed, not moving" I laughed.  "Anyway, how are you? You look a lot better" he said as he ruffled my hair. He does that a lot. "I'm okay, getting better. How are you?" "I'm fine, I'm not the one in a hospital bed!" we both smiled at each other as our lips met and we pulled away to smile at each other again. A nurse walked in just as we stopped and Aaron quickly pulled back, scared as he didn't know who was walking in. "Haha it's okay, only me!" The nurse laughed. Aaron had a relieved look on his face. Who did he think it was going to be? "I have good news, you can leave on Wednesday" (forgot to mention, it was currently Monday lmao)
"Great!!" I replied. I had a huge grin on my face.
Aarons POV
rob had a huge grin on his face. I loved seeing him like this, he looked so happy. When the nurse walked in I was terrified it would be paddy. I mean, paddy would never ever visit Robert so I don't know why I got so paranoid. Paddy has been more like a dad to me than anyone, since my dad was never a proper dad...
He hates Robert. When he finds out we're together he's going to full on freak out.
The nurse smiled and walked towards the door. "You staying again tonight?" The nurse asked me. "Yeah, if that's okay?" I asked. "Of course haha. You have a really caring boyfriend!" She said to Robert as she walked out. "I know" he smiled back. "I love you" I said as I hugged him. "Love you more" he replied as we hugged for what felt like ages.
"So, why were you so freaked out about the nurse walking in? I don't think she minds two men kissing haha" I didn't know if I should tell him. I should, he's my boyfriend and he deserves to know what it's going to be like when paddy does find out.
"Well, I thought it was... Paddy."
Roberts face instantly turned terrified. He must have forgotten about him. "Oh no. He hates me. He's going to freak oh god!!" He practically shouted, he was shaking. "Babe! Calm down! Remember what I said the other day yeah? It's me and you against everyone, no one is going to change my mind no matter what they say about you because you're amazing and I love you so much. Now stop worrying about what other people think because they don't matter right now okay?" I smiled at him. He smiled back when suddenly the doors swung open and standing there was a very, very red-faced paddy...
