Gloom Boys. Gawsten ✔

♡28♡

when they had arrived home jawn and otto ran off to their room, geoff and awsten were grateful their walls were sound proof. they peeled off their jeans and shirts and held each other under their grey comforter, geoff obviously being the big spoon and awsten being the small spoon. awsten was oddly really cold tonight, especially after he threw up, which he then did 3 more times that night. he had placed a bucket on the side table next to the bed so if he needed to he could throw up again. geoff had given him medicine to take when they got home but they've been home for a little while and awsten said he still felt like shit. geoff thought awsten was sick, so did he, but they were far off.

awsten woke up with a small kitten yawn, the first thing he saw was his beautiful brunette boyfriend sleeping soundly. he smiled and kissed his forehead, glad that he was a light sleeper and woke up a moment after. "morning baby." awsten smiled.
geoff smiled back and kissed his nose, "morning to you to darling."
they both still had smiles on their faces as they stood up, but awsten immediately fell back onto the bed and picked up the bucket, throwing up the last few contents in his stomach from the night before. "ugh, this sucks." he groaned.
geoff smiled sadly and sat next to him, running his back. "you're not pregnant right?" geoff joked.
awsten bursted into a fit of giggles. "no! at least i'd hope not, i wanna get married first." he smiled.
geoff grinned and held his hand, "let's get you downstairs and we'll get you all nice and settled then we'll watch the office, alright?"
awsten nodded and slowly stood up, grabbing the bucket and followed geoff down the stairs very, very slowly. once they made it downstairs awsten immediately sat back down and he felt so much better. he had no energy at all today. geoff kissed his forehead before going to the kitchen and being back in a bottle of water and a cup of orange juice, also a blueberry poptart. "in case you want to eat, but after you finish the orange juice i want you to drink the water, okay love?" geoff said sitting down, pulling awsten in his lap and covering them in a blanket but awsten still could reach the items geoff brought in.
he nodded and leaned back and into his touch, he thought the brunette was super warm and just wanted to hug him all day long. "i love you baby." awsten murmured.
"i love you too darling." geoff said back to him, kissing him sweetly, not caring if he got sick too or not.
both of them didn't know it then, but that may as well been the last thing they said to each other.

awsten had fallen asleep soon after geoff turned on the office, he had managed to keep down the poptarts and orange juice but then again, be was asleep. geoff noticed he was cold, deadly cold he joked to himself in his head. he looked at the time, he must've dosed off too sense it was 2 hours later and otto and jawn should be home soon. he shook the smaller male slightly, he knew he was tired but he needed his medicine and probably a bath. when the purple haired boy didn't show any sign of getting up he hated to do this but he shook him harder. still nothing. he gently layed awsten down on the couch, he was acting like a rag doll but it was probably the sickness taking a toll on his sleeping. he went to the kitchen, filling up a cup of water and walked over to his boyfriend. he hit his face with it, expecting him to wake up and say, "hello?" but still nothing. now geoff was worried.
he noticed his chest wasn't moving up and down. what the hell? he felt his hands and they were freezing, geoff was suddenly hit with realization. he placed two fingers on his neck, praying there was a pulse but there was nothing there. geoff ran his hands through his hair, "no, no, no, this isn't happening. we're gonna get married, have a family, grow old together, you were going to sing to me, come on awsten, this isn't funny!" geoff didn't want to think this was happening, but it was.
he scrambled to get his phone off the table, quickly dialing 911. he told the operator that his boyfriend wasn't showing any movement or life and they asked for his address, which he gave. just as he hung up jawn and otto walked in to see geoff in tears and awsten laying limp on the couch. "what's going on...?" otto's voice was lowered in fear and concern.
jawn grabbed his hand, about to speak and ask a question when suddenly it was answered. sirens were heard down the street and soon was coming from the outside of the house. travis came downstairs, suddenly waking up from his nap only to see the 3 boys being pushed away and paramedics crowding around awsten. suddenly the dreadful black bag was being pulled out, and awsten was going inside. you could hear geoff's sobs miles away as they took awsten away to wherever they were taking him. a few people came up to the 4 boys, asking questions they couldn't answer.

awsten constantine knight was pronounced dead at 2:42 p.m
