I still can't believe how you look next to me.

My heart Won't sing for me a melody

Slaves-Staving for friends.

*Austin pov*

After hours of staying up until 6 am with Oliver, talking about his comatose state and what he experienced.

He fell asleep.

I left to go get his clothes.

I walked in to his huge walk in closet.

Holy shit he has a  lot of clothing.

I grabbed a pair of tight light wash skinny jeans, one of my thick wool sweaters, and a pair of his black creepers.

I packed it all neatly in a paper bag. 

At the stop light around the corner from the hospital I turned in the drive Thru of Tim Horton's.

I got Oligator a iced coffee and a banana but muffin.

waiting for everything to be done I got a text from an unknown number.

Hm. Wierd.

I tossed my phone in the back seat and grabbed my things from the window server.

~At the hospital.~

When I jogged up the 7 flights of stairs I made it to his room.

He was sitting up in bed,

Facing the window not knowing I was there.

Perfectly still.

His back was exposed out of his hospital gown.

I put everything in my hands in the empty neighboring bed and crept slowly up to him. Not making a noise.

I quickly grabbed him and attacked the side of his neck and cheeks with kisses and tickled his tummy.

"Austin!" He could barely let out clouded by giggles.

I stopped and said "I got you a few things," I grabbed the bags and walked around the front of him.   "Vanilla coconut iced coffee and a banana nut muffin." He snatched the muffin and  scarfed it down.

"Please?" He said motioning to his coffee..

"Oh-oh ye-yeah, of course." I stuttered as I watched him.

He sipped it slowly.

"Aussie, what's in the big bag?"

"Your clothes. You should get ready to come home with me." I smiled.

He blushed so much his cheeks were almost roses.

He didn't say anything, but grabbed the bag and walked into the small bathroom.

* Oliver's pov*

I sat on the lid of the toilet gazing at the ring on my finger.

This is happening.

I untied the hospital gown and rubbed my leg where the cast was for those few months.

My leg was feeling better, but the scar made me think of the metal twisting around my body.

My body was still bruised and hurt. My broken ribs will heal on their own.

The medication is kicking my ass, I'm drowsy, but I'm sick of closing my eyes and I'd rather not feel the pain.

I traced my thin fingers around the huge bruise taking up my hip down to my mid thigh.

I shimmy my jeans up my legs and slip the sweater over my shoulders.

The sweet smell filled the room. It was Austin's Cologne, it intoxicated my lungs.

I couldn't stop smelling it.

"Honey, are you okay?" Austin's voice broke the trance. I blushed and coughed "yeah, just cleaning up." I replied.

 

I smiled in the mirror

"Oliver Scott Carlile."

I love that.

After repeating it a few times I left the bathroom.

Austin sat at the edge if my bed.

"Did you sign my discharge papers?"

I asked.

"Yep. Just waiting for you."

He carried the dead flowers that have been at my beside for months. Everyday I was awake in that  coma the smell lingered in my nose.

I slid in the passenger seat

and held on to Austin's hand as he pulled out the parking lot.

The ride was smooth and the radio helped my brain.

You've been gone for three months.

"  I've got a surprise for you when we get home."

Austin kissed my hand.

My stomach was all tied in knots. Pulling up to our large gray house I was nervous.

I carried in my dry flowers.

Austin smiled at my while he unlocked the house.

"Christmas and Thanksgiving weren't the same without you."

The couches and coffee table were filled with presents and envelopes.

Oh my god.

I was breathless.

I sat on the ground giddy to open my presents.

Austin handed me a small red box.

"This is from your brother,"

Inside was a tiny pink camera, the ones that instantly spit out the picture.

"Jack and Alex,"

I opened the gift bag and inside was pink lingerie.

Oh shit.

Austin was blushing looking away.

Gerard and Frank got me the most beautiful clothes.

Vic and Kellin got me a jewelery box, it played a song from The secret garden. Austin was uneasy while it played.

After unwrapping everything Austin carried everything to our bedroom.

I followed behind him.

I layed in  bed while he put the clothes and other gifts in my closet.

Austin jumped in bed with me , kissing my forehead.

"I cried nearly everyday you weren't here. Everyday was Hell." He smiled but tiny tears ran from the corners of his eyes. I wiped them away with my thumbs.

"I won't ever leave you again." My bottom lip trembled over every word.

"Do you promise?"

He kissed my cheek.

I put my hands that his ring was on in front of his face I kissed him "I promise." I cuddled in his chest.
