F*cking cliché

60

Pov Levi

It had been yet another week.

Another week of worrying.

He seemed more alert, moving his eyes around the room, moving his arm or leg up.. it meant nothing.
He was still sick and it's impossible for me to tell whether or not he would get better.

The pills must have worked right?

What if they didn't and I gave up on a proper medicine?

I stare at the sunlight lighting up the calming waves, I understand why Calum would like the sea, it's calming.

I lean even more down on the wooden railing and let out a small sigh.

I loved this guy.. love him actually and I hurt him.. hurt him by accident.

I think I figured out how he got it.. through a stupid mistake I made.
I was rushing to get an antidote for the serum I used on him to get unconscious. I just grabbed an old used needle and filled it.. it must have had a bit of the virus still inside.

Everything was my fault.

I didn't haven't to use the serum on him in the first place, I could've used a new needle I..

I get pulled away from my thoughts as I hear a door opening.

I turn around and meet a tired looking boy making his way over to me.
He's stumbling.. limping.. almost tripping, he hadn't walked for so long so of course he would have difficulty with it.

I just stand there.. stand there like a moron while he's struggling.

'Are you alright?' I ask when he's wobbling on his feet.
'You might.. want to.. catch me.'

Just in time I manage to keep the boy standing.
I lead him to the railing.

'Hold it, I'm going to get you a chair.'

I rush to get one of the garden chairs, put it down behind him and help him sit down.

'So.. how are you feeling?'
'Don't act like a stranger.'
'Sorry you haven't been talking or walking for around two weeks, it's weird for me,' I explain.
'My legs do feel.. weird.'
'I understand, don't worry I will help you recover.' 'Recover,' he repeats, 'So you're saying that I'm getting beter?'

The spark in his eyes makes it hard for me to resist so I place a few quick kisses on his forehead and cheeks.

'Levi stop, you're not a fucking dog.'
'Calum,' I groan, 'Don't look so damn kissable if you don't want them.'
'Who's problem is that?' 'Yours.'

Pov Calum

'But am I getting better or not?' I repeat since I hadn't had an answer.
'It looks like it, I'll just have to test it.'
'What are you waiting for?'

He sniggers walks away and comes back with a needle and something that looks like a big pregnancy test.

'You might actually have made me afraid of needles,' I admit when I flinch away from the sharp objects.
'I'm sorry honey, hopefully it's the last one for a while alright?'

I nod as I extend my arm for him.
I receive a small smile from him before he tortures me with the small tube.

'That's it,' he places a kiss on my shoulder, 'Good boy.'
'I'm not a dog as well.' 'Not?'
'I can still dump you, you know that right?' I mumble.
'Well.. that isn't going to be so easy..'

My eyes move down to the golden ring on my finger.

'Because we're married.. right?'
'Yes and I know I didn't properly propose or asked if you were alright with it and I understand if you..'
'Levi.. sweetheart.'
'Did you just.. call me sweetheart?'
'Levi listen, I knew what was going on, I could have done something, besides you were talking about it before.' 'So you did knowledge it?'
'It took me a while,' I explain.

His hand brush against mine and I take it as an excuse to hold it.

'How did you do it?' 'Do what?'
'The marriage?'
'It was arranged, you're dad's safety for your hand.'
'So you had my dad captured?' 'Sorry.'
'No,' I sigh, 'No it's fine.'

I focus my eyes on the beach just a few metres away.

'I still want you to get down on your knee though.' 'But you're supposed to be on your knees darling.'
'Come on Levi we're married now.'

A playful smirk is spread out over his face as he kneels down.

'Well..' 'Well,' I repeat.
'Dear, I love you, will you..'

I cut him off by placing my lips on his.

'You're so bad at this. Why do I like you?'
'Because you just loveee danger.'
'Is that a reference to our first kiss?'

He goes in for another kiss, making my lips tingle, it had been too long.

'Yes it is,' he murmurs, 'Smart boy aren't you?'

'And... Cut!'
We don't listen and continue our kiss.
'Guys I said cut!'

I give Levi a playful look.
He lifts me up without breaking the kiss.

'This is going to end up in the end credits if you guys don't stop!'

We pull away and he sets me down again.

'Next time I want to be the good guy.'
'Oh stop it! You loved this role!'
He smirks. 'Yes I in fact did.. it was a pleasure to play in another one with you Asher.'
'We're the to go to gay couple at the moment.. it isn't really a suprise.'

He embraces me.

'Yet I find it special every single time.'
'Levi you're adorable.' 'No you.'
'Dammit.'

He chuckles as a reply.

We finally walk out of the scene.

'You know.. you were supposed to be the good guy in this one right?'
'Yeah I know.. but it would be so confusing for the both of us.. like the idea of calling you Levi is weird.'
'I thought you were a professional?'

'What are we going to do now?'
'Eachother?' 'Ho, calm down big boy.. what about pizza?' I suggest.
'Sure pizza it is.'

- Yes it was a movie.. what did you expect? The book is called cliché.
