My List of Mistakes

And So I Said It

When Elliot came to, his head was throbbing and heart beating rapidly in his chest.

He peaked his eyes open and groaned. "Fuck..." He muttered and rolled into his side, not expecting Nathan to be curled up at his side.

The boy stayed quiet, looking his significant other over and smiling softly. He winced a bit when the door opened and his mother walked in.

"Hey sweetie. I'm glad you're okay..." She said, in a soft voice, sitting down to hand Elliot a few pills. "Here baby. It's your medication plus some Tylenol... Take them okay? You need them."

"I don't want them," Elliot grumbled, still out of it. "I don't like how they make me feel."

Eve shook her head. "Elliot it's already hours past when you're supposed to take them. Please baby you need to."

"I'll take the Tylenol." He huffed, getting a little louder.

His mother hushed him and shook her head. "You need to take your Paxil, Elliot, I don't care if you don't want to."

"It doesn't change anything!" He whined and covered his face.

"Elliot!" Eve shook her head and noticed Nathan stir. "You need to take it! You've missed one dose and your mood has already changed!"

He shook his head continuously and tangled his fingers in his sandy blonde hair, tugging on it.

"Elliot please baby... You need to take it to balance you out...." She begged, not watching Nathan sit up but aware as the boy took a second to review the situation and throw his arms around Elliot, scooting closer and kiss the back of his neck.

At first, Elliot shied away and tried to shake him off, but soon he gave in, calming down and leaning into the touch.

Nathan smiled softly and nuzzled closer. "Hey baby...."

Elliot sighed. "Hey...."

"Can you please take your medication? I promise we can just sit back and sleep if you do."

The boy looked up with apologetic eyes and nodded, taking the pills in his hand and knocking them back with water.

Eve took a calming breath, looking at Nathan with gratitude.

He just nodded and helped Elliot lay back down, pulling the covers over them both.

Eve smiled and shook her head. 'Thank you.' She mouthed and kissed both of their heads. "Dinner is in an hour..."

Nathan nodded and waved as she left the room. "Elliot? You okay baby?"

He was silent for a moment. "Yeah... Yeah I'm fine... I'm sorry for acting that way. I can't help it. Mental imbalance."

"It's okay." He smiled sweetly and kissed his nose then his lips. "Is there any chance you remember what I said to you earlier? You know when we got here?"

He shook his head. "No.. I've been in and out of consciousness."

"Oh. Okay."

"What is it? What did you say?" He inquired.

"Nothing," he sighed. "Nothing baby."

"No. Nathan tell me. Please? I hate it when people keep secrets from me. Please?"

Nathan sighed and bit his lip. "Okay fine... I umm... I umm.... I might've said... Well I did say.. I love you..." He muttered and closed his eyes.

Elliot's eyes widened then softened as he reached over to take his hand. "I love you too..."

"You do?"

"Yes of course I do!" He smiled and leaned in, kissing him softly. "Nathan, you're my everything." He pulled him closer and they cuddled together, happier then ever. "I love you so much. You and me.... You and me."

Eve came up soon after. "Nathan? Sweetie your father is on the phone. I told him what happened.. Is it okay with you if I invite him to dinner with us?"

Nathan looked up from where he sat in Elliot's lap, watching Netflix. "Dinner? With us? Ummm... Sure I don't see why not!"

Eve nodded and turned back to the phone, talking with him for a moment before hanging up and turning around. "He's on his way! Get dressed you two!" She laughe and closed the door.

Elliot was too distracted by the bare skin on his boyfriend's neck to really care what was said. "You're not moving.." He mumbled and continued to kiss over the spots, nipping at the soft skin.

"Ell... Come on we gotta get dressed. I'm not wearing a shirt... Baby come on."

Elliot groaned and let him go, standing up himself to get into nicer clothing. "Hey your last lacrosse game is tomorrow right?"

"Mhm... God I hate lacrosse."

"Oh but you look so hot in that uniform." He smirked and kissed him deeply.

Nathan laughed and pushed against his chest, blushing softly. "Come on, knowing my father he will be here soon. Let's get down stairs and help your mother."

He nodded and took his hand as they walked, going to to set the table and get ready.

When Malcolm arrived, they all smiled and opened the door, allowing the man to come in. He greeted his son and Elliot along with Eve. "Thank you for having me. Your home is lovely."

"Thank you." Eve smiled proudly and lead him towards the table. "You're here just in time. Take a seat!"

They all sat down and Elliot found himself directly across from Malcolm. He swallowed and smiled nervously.

'Dinner with my boyfriend's dad... This should be good...... God I'm fucked.'
