Toxic - Chris x Ted (KnT)

Chapter Seven- was it me?

Ted's eyes eyes opened to someone he never thought he'd ever see again. Chris! He was here in front of him! He immediately started to tear up, using all of his strength to sit up and stare at the boy in awe. Chris looked at him with such concern, worry, and sadness. It was so hard for him to see Ted in such horrid condition. Chris's soft yet cold hands met Ted's cheek, caressing it ever so slightly. "Why, Ted, why did you do this? The last time I saw you, you were so happy and healthy, look at you," Chris paused, "you look broken. I thought I lost you for good. Why didn't you reply to my texts? Why wouldn't you talk to me? Huh Ted!? Answer me that will you?" Ted's eyes were watering as well as he looked into Chris's sorrowful and angry eyes. He shook his head and looked at the floor for a brief second. "I- Chris I don't know. I was scared of feeling heartbreak again. It shattered my personality, who I became with you when I moved. I've never been able to hold a genuine smile since." His tears soaked the bandages covering the deep cuts all over his wrists. Chris stared at Ted in awe and sadness. He felt he had completely failed him. He was the one that helped his depression and anxiety when they were younger. He was the reason for Ted's happiness. He mustered all the courage he could and pressed his soft, light pink lips to Ted's forehead and kept them there. He didn't notice the hand reaching upwards to intertwine with his own. He didn't realize that Ted's rose pink eyes were now glued on him. He was too focused on doing what he should have done years ago. With mascara stained cheeks and a soft purr, he left his lips on Ted's forehead but rested his head close to his. "Ted, don't you DARE try to do this again. I couldn't function without knowing you were okay, let alone if I found out you had taken your life." Ted sighed and nodded, keeping Chris as close to him as possible. Chris's lips formed a genuine smile and he sniffled before getting into the hospital bed with him. He felt the soft breathing from Ted on his chest, and he couldn't be happier about that. The two fell asleep, curled up against each other. Their intertwined hands never parted.

~about three days later~

Chris had stayed with Ted until he came home. They were on Ted's bed, catching up with each other and remembering their time together as children and growing teenagers. As they talked, Chris noticed something about his best friend that he never realized until then. When he wasn't around, Ted was gloomy, depressed, hell even suicidal based on what's happened. But, when he was with Ted, he lit up. His eyes glowed a shade brighter compared to the otherwise dull dusty pink. He always was smiling and genuinely trying to fix everything.

At that moment, Chris realized the most obvious thing that Ted had been trying to point out all those years.

He was Ted's happiness.

He was the one that helped him through all the things he had to go through when they were children.
All this wouldn't have happened if he had either come with him or something, anything.
But he didn't.
Chris's eyes started to water and he broke down in front of his best friend.

This was all his fault. Could he fix it? Could he fix Ted and end up bringing his happiness, his life back?
