Closed-

I shook my head, as Aaron feel asleep on the sofa, and lightly kissed his forehead. He felt a bit warm, but I blew it off on the alcohol. I knew it rose your body temp a little to the touch, and he was only slightly warm. I lightly brushed a hand over his cheek, with a sadden smile on my face. "I love you, Aaron." I said softly, knowing he was already dead to the world. The cats were both asleep in the chair, and I patted them both lightly, as I walked by them, hearing them start to both purr. I walked into the bedroom, and pulled out my suitcase. Gambit ran over and jumped on the bed, watching me as I started to pack, and grabbing clothes every now and them from the open draw and putting them next to him, so he could lay his head on them. I laughed at him, trying not to feel so sad. How come I felt like I was getting kicked out of my own home? I shrugged the feeling away. I wasn't going to say anything to Aaron right now. The job I was going to was just waiting on me right now. So, with this project done, I would easily fly in tomorrow, and start filming as well. If I started a good four days early, then even if something happened during filming, I had four days to fix it. I could get back here the night before our anniversary and maybe then, just maybe, everything would go back to normal. I thought about leaving eight now, but right now there were no open flights until later, so I quickly took the earliest they had, knowing I needed to be out of here soon, and so needed to pack now.
I noted Aaron walk by me, and I didn't think he noticed me. He had slept for a while, but he still looked really tired. Then, I heard him in the bathroom, and felt my own stomach feel weak. I shook is off, and stood up, but paused as I heard the sound of Aaron's phone send off a text and then get one. "Are you okay, love?" I questioned, thinking about walking in to make sure he was okay. Did he really drink that much? I wasn't sure when the last time Aaron had vomited from drinking too much.

Always. Was the simple first text that Eddie sent back, when in reality he was trying his best not to get overly excited. Though, the mono thing did not mean good things. More so with the musical and everything. He shook his head, and went on with his next text. Poor baby! How? When do I need to be over there? Not the parents! Anything but them. lol

I coughed as I heard Ren's soothing voice. The thought of not being able to hear that voice for a few days made my stomach turn and I threw up once more. "I think I may be hung over," I replied, my words spread apart through rough breaths. I saw Eddie's text and smiled, my eyes drifting over the buttons on my phone. I got enough strength to reply and did as soon as I could. Whenever you get off work. Ren leaves today. You can bring an overnight bag, must get lonely at that apartment I brushed my teeth and climbed into the bed, adjusting my sunglasses to my face. I felt very cold and pulled the blanket over my body, snuggling deep under the covers. "Ren," I called, my voice raspy from the burning acid in my throat, "I love you." I watched him pack, sighing as I thought of me screaming at him and him packing his stuff while I screamed about nonsense. I closed my eyes, glad the tears were hidden by my sunglasses.

A hang over. Yep, I knew he had drank too much before I got here. I wondered what all his drinking was from and about. I looked around, and started to grab a few more things, mostly needing things from the bathroom now. When Aaron walked out, I tilted my head as I looked at him go to bed with his sunglasses on. That was a bit odd. It wasn't bright at all in the flat, and he didn't have to hide the hang over from me. I half smiled at him, and froze as I heard his voice speak my name. The sound of his voice made me weak, and at the same time, it made me feel sad for my love. I walked over to the bathroom, and grabbed a few things, freezing as he told me he loved me. I took in a breath, and put the few things I had away, and walked over to the edge of the bed, and sat by him, putting my hand on his chest, smiling. "Do you need anything, Aaron?" I questioned to him. How did he mange to make me so happy, just by feeling him. "And why are you wearing sunglasses inside?"

XX Eddie XX

Okay. Sounds good. You have no idea. Keep warm until then. Eddie replied. He made sure to take an overnight bag with him, before walking out the door and heading to the theater. It would be weird for Aaron to not be there, but at least he would get to see a lot of him tonight.

I managed a chuckle from Ren's comment about my sunglasses. "The light gives me a headache," I said, lying through my teeth. The last thing I wanted Ren to do was worry. I felt his hand on my chest and really did smile. "I'm going to miss you Ren James Curtis," I said, the words easily flowing off my lips. I sighed, wishing I hadn't been drunk last night so Ren and I could really talk. I pressed the glasses back up so they rested on the bridge of my nose. My body grew colder and colder and I swore I was going to freeze. I knew it was just a feeling because I could feel the heat radiating from my body underneath the covers. I felt my phone buzz and checked the text before putting it in it's charger. I watched Ren pack and my heart lurched, wishing there wasn't any trouble.

[Ohkami]

"You sound horrid," I replied, though as he said my full name, I quivered a breath. That was only the second time he had said my full names, and I loved it more and more each time he said it to me. "Just think," I went on, as I stood up, wishing I could see his beautiful eyes before I had to leave, "when I get back we'll have been together for four years. And I'll make sure to make up every second we're going to miss." I kept the secret of me coming back just that a secret. "Oh, when it opening night for your musical, love?" I had forgotten to ask him that with everything that I been going on. I put up a finger to let him know I would be right back, and grabbed my medication, lightly coughing just as I packed it also. I looked over everything, and it all looked good. I glanced back over at Aaron, and walked over to the A/C and heater unit, playing with it a bit. "You're sweating. If you're hot, take off some of the covers. Everything was packed and ready. I saw him take out his phone, to put it on the charger, but ignored it, trying not to catch a glimpse of who had text him. "And don't you need to get to work...?" I looked at the time. I was about to head out, but I had a minute or two. I didn't want to leave just yet. I wanted to make sure Aaron was okay first. He looked really bad, but I believed him, that it was all just the hangover. I put a glass of water next to him that I had used to take my medication, in case he was thirsty. I lightly kissed his cheek, running a hand on his hair, which was curly, not natural at all for him, so it felt nice to run my hands through it without any gel. I lightly kissed his chin, and went for his soft lips.

I smiled as I saw Ren grab the pill bottle and I didn't have to remind him. "I'm actually freezing. We don't know when opening night is and I emailed my boss I was under the weather," I told Ren. I soon felt his lips press against mine and sighed as they were so nice and cold. I felt his fingers run through my hair and melted again. Last night I was at the point of not trying anymore, but Ren just made me want to try all the harder. I kissed him back, rubbing my clammy hands on the back of his neck. I couldn't believe he was kissing me, seems as my hair was curly and I was sweaty and had just vomited. Even though I had brushed my teeth I could still taste it in my mouth. I reluctantly let go and fixed the glasses he had messed up with a slight smile. "You're going to miss your flight," I whispered, my hand lingering on the back of his neck.

[Ohkami]

I was suddenly worried about Aaron, and reached up to touch his forehead, after I missed him. I didn't care he had threw up and still tasted like scotch. I would kiss him no matter what. He could be covered in filth, and I would still kiss him, and love every second of it, because I loved him. I quickly remembered how I was sweating so badly when I first got my pneumonia, but how cold I was, and put my had to his forehead. I didn't care suddenly about my flight. It was a VIP business flight, and I could change my departure time whenever I wanted. Even if I missed it. I hadn't even told them I was coming in early, just in case there was a lay over. I looked around, trying to find the thermometer, not sure where he put it last. Maybe I had made him sick. We did have intercourse when I was running a fever, and I kept sleeping on his chest every night. I would feel so bad if I made him sick, and he missed his big chance on stage. "I think this is more than a bad hang over," I said, looking as worried as cold be I was sure. "Maybe you should go to the hospital? Or what if it's something internal." I suddenly began to freak out that maybe from all his drinking, there was something wrong with his kidney or liver. "Oh, Aaron..." I looked at him, not wanting to even walk a few feet away from him, feeling his hand still on my neck. All i could do was wish that last night had been different. I wanted one more day with him. Even just a second more. How did he make me miss him so much, even when I was next to him.

I watched as Ren slowly grew worried and mentioned going to the E.R. I shook my head and smiled once more, my hand going over his lips to quiet him. "Ren, I'm fine really. If I get into trouble, my parents only live a few hours away. I can call them," I said, begging him to go now. I didn't want him to be late or lose his job because of me. Plus, Eddie was coming in the evening and was going to stay the night so he could make sure to take care of me. I decided to leave that part out. It would only worsen the whole drama situation we were dealing with now. My hand played with the small pieces of hair on his neck and I smiled. I knew Ren was a paranoid person and he probably assumed I had developed a cancer. "If it'll make you feel better, I'll call a doctor and then call you once you're on the plane. You can trust me because I don't mind taking medicine," I reassured Ren with a chuckle. I could feel my stomach turning and prayed I didn't throw up at that moment. It would make me look more like a god awful mess. I was, once again, glad Ren wasn't able to see my eyes since a wave of fear just swept over them. If I had mono, and I had just kissed Ren... It couldn't spread that fast could it? I bit my lip and watched Ren, wishing he didn't have to go, but at the same time wishing he would hurry up and leave.

[Ohkami]

I couldn't help but laugh at his comment about him taking medication okay. I guessed I had to remember my own for a while now. I brushed a hand through his hair again, and kissed his forehead, taking in his scent one more time. "Please, be okay, Aaron," I said as I pulled way, feeling his hand on the back of my neck a little longer. He really didn't look well, but... He wouldn't be stupid like me. Aaron would go see someone if he got sick. Right? Still, I felt like I was leaving him forever, and it was really hard for me to leave him. "If I find out anything happened while I was gone, I'm not going to forgive you," I replied, trying to look angry, but I knew I was failing at it. I couldn't be angry with Aaron. He had me wrapped around his finger. I was sure if he told me to go jump off a bridge, I would do it without questioned. I kissed his lips one more time, and hugged him as he laid there. "I love you, Aaron. Okay? I'm sorry if I did anything wrong..." I looked at him one more time. "Be safe, okay? And get better. No more missing work...and don't drink if you don't feel well..." I looked over his beautiful body, and ran a hand along his chest, feeling him one more time. I never thought it would be this hard to leave him... Maybe it was how weak he looked... I kissed him once more on the forehead, before I finally stood up. "Call me. No matter what, call me... You are the world to me..." I smiled at him, my brown eyes never wanting to leave him. "Aaron Leveene Ford...I love you, and you are my soul." I smiled at him, and then turned around, trying to keep it together. I walked out the room, and petted Gambit, giving him a light hug, and telling him to look over his Daddy Aaron, before giving a kiss on the head to Rae and Chrono. I looked back at Aaron in bed one more time. My heart was breaking, as I walked out the door with my suitcase and jacket on, with a black cap. If anything happened to my love, I wasn't sure what I would do... I sighed, and got into the taxi, making sure to look at my phone before getting in, just in case Aaron needed me. With one more glance at out flat, I got into the cab, and headed to the airport.

I watched Ren leave. His kisses had left me weaker than I was before. I waved goodbye, trying to summon words into my mouth, but they never came. I took off my glasses and folded them, placing them on the counter. I grabbed my phone and did as I promised, calling the doctor. I would have to go in to get a blood test, but it seemed I did have mono. I scheduled an appointment for the morning and closed my eyes. I woke up, seeing it was five in the evening and rubbed my eyes, stretching in the lonely bed. I accidentally kicked a cat as I did so and quickly sat up to apologize. I could feel a cowlick on the back of my head and was too lazy to smooth it down. I walked into the bathroom and threw up everything in my stomach, which was just acid. My abbs hurt from the working and I coughed after words, my eyes watering. I quickly washed my face and felt the nice cool water on my now hot skin. I called Ren and got a voice mail, figuring he was busy. "Hey, uh, I just woke up. I called the doctor after you left and, um, I'm going to get a blood test. Don't freak out, okay. Have fun, I love you," I said into the empty phone line. I brushed my teeth and set the phone down. I wondered when Eddie got off of work and walked into our main room to let Gambit out. He probably had to use the restroom. I walked out, since I was fully clothed and felt the chilly air from the rain pierce my skin. I let him do his business before walking back inside. I sat down at the counter and took a few tylonel strength as the regular pills didn't have any effect on me. I closed my eyes and swallowed the water, blinking my tired eyes. I took out my phone to see my reflection and chuckled at it. My eyes were blood shot and had dark circles under them, my lips were dry and cracked, and my hair was a mess. If Eddie didn't run away after walking through the door, he was a keeper. I set my phone down and walked to our wine cabinet. Ren's words echoed in my head and I sighed, staring at the ceiling as if I could see him in the plane. I set out the food for the cats and Gambit before sitting on the couch, already having a headache from all of the moving around.
