TURQUOISE BUTTERFLY (MewGulf fanfiction) [ENG.]

# 2 #

Gulf was dozing next to Mew's bed. He awoke when he felt a hand twitch, hand that he had not released from his for two weeks. He looked quickly at Mew's face. His eyelids slowly rose and he saw the dark, deep eyes which he missed so much.

"Mew, honey. You woke up." he said happy.

Mew stared at him in confusion. He didn't know where he was or what exactly happened. They were on fanmeeting. Why is Gulf looking at him with tears in his eyes? And why can't he hear what Gulf is saying? Because he sees that his lips are moving, but his words don't reach him. He looked around the room in horror. He was in the hospital, connected to various devices and IVs. Shouldn't these devices beeping?

Gulf looked at the terrified face of Mew. The boy didn't look at him or answer him.

"Mew, what's going on? Something hurts you? Mew!?"

Gulf grabbed Mew's shoulders and forced him to look at him. Mew clenched his fingers painfully on Gulf's forearms. He tried hard to understand what the younger was saying to him.

"Mew, what's going on? I already called a doctor." said Gulf.

"Gulf ... " Mew said uncertainly. "Gulf ... " With each passing moment, Mew was more and more terrified and anxious. "Gulf .... I can't ... I can't hear!"

Mew screamed louder and louder. He desperately wanted to hear his voice. He broke free from Gulf's embrace. He reached his ears. He felt that they were covered with a bandage. He wanted to rip it of, but Gulf wouldn't let him.

"Mew, calm down! Do not touch it! You will open your wounds!" shouted Gulf, trying to control the boy, who was throwing on the bed.

"Gulf, I can't hear! I can't hear your voice or my voice!" Mew sobbed, covering and uncovering his ears.

A doctor and a nurse entered the room. Seeing what was happening, he guessed that his black scenario had come true and Mew could not hear. He feared this the most.

"Doctor, please do something!" pleaded Gulf.

"Mr. Suppasit, calm down." The doctor came up to Mew and put his hands on his shoulders. Mew looked at him.

"Doctor, why are you all whispering? Why can't I hear anything?" He looked at the doctor imploringly.

"Mr. Suppasit ..." the doctor began, but Mew broke free from his arms, at the same time pulling out a drip.

"Mew, calm down!" Gulf tried to stop Mew from getting out of bed, but was pushed away.

Mew struggled to get up from the bed, but soon fell to his knees, screaming at the piercing headache.

"Mew!" Gulf helped the boy go back to bed. "Doctor ..." Gulf looked at the man pleadingly.

"All I can do is to give him a sedative."

Mew was writhing in pain on the bed, all the time in Gulf's embrace. The nurse, on the order of the doctor, founded a new venflon and gave Mew sedatives. After a while the boy fell asleep. Gulf laid him comfortably, adjusted his pillow, and covered him. Then he looked at the doctor.

"We'll do more tests, but I'm afraid of the worst. As I mentioned, some structures were damaged ... irreversibly."

"Are you saying that Mew will never hear again?" Gulf asked.

"Yes." said the doctor firmly "But this is not the end of the world. There are many possibilities. We will try everything we can."

"Deafness is not a tragedy for me. I know that being deaf does not interfere with normal life, but I'm afraid that Mew will not accept it."

"He'll need your support." The doctor patted Gulf on the shoulder and left to order more tests.

Gulf sat back in his chair by the bed of Mew and took his hand.

"Mew, don't worry. I'll help you." Gulf whispered and kissed his boyfriend's hand.

See you in next chapter! :-)
