Henry couldn't get Alex's word out from his mind especially about those dreams he was having. He laid there in bed with Alex wrapped around his waist while he had his arm wrapped around Alex's strong built. He remembers those dreams he used to have back then about this particular moment, this exact moment.

The door knocked softly caught Henry's attention back into the room when he saw Bea peaking her head inside with Hope by her arm mirroring her action. "Can we come in?" Bea and Hope whispered earning Henry a laugh and nods softly.

""Ooh, we thought you both might be awake I guess we set this one for later then." Ellen came behind her with Oscar by her side and set the bags filled with delicious food that Henry could scent from three room away.

"Don't you dare! I'm starving." He says with Alex still asleep in his arm. Ellen smiles when Henry gestured his forefingers to bring the food closer and she did. The moment she gathered the food on the table Henry couldn't wait and attempted to sat up to eat but his gestured woke Alex in the process and he groaned rubbing his eyes in his sleepiness.

Alex jolted from his sleep with his messy curls bouncing off his head looking around the room frantic. "Hen." He whispered and Henry pulled him by his chin to face him. Alex's worried face softened immediately at the sight of Henry sitting up in bed next to him and he sighed flopped back in bed wrapping his arm around Henry's waist caging his arm on the side of his hip.

"Alexander, sweetheart. I'm starving so please let my arm free and I would let you go back to sleep." Henry says trying to free his arms out from Alex's gripped but Alex denied him. "No. They can feed you." Alex groaned not wanting to let go Henry's arm freely and continued to press his face into Henry's neck.

"Ugh, I'm not an invalid Alexander! Hands off or I'll fight you against the food if I had too." Alex shot his head up to turn and see the food his mother displayed on the table and couldn't deny the smell is intoxicating.

"You're gonna fight me against my paps Calle de pollo? Not happening!" He says before he jumped and kneeled on the bed to see the food over the table. They all laughed at him and Henry banter over the bed before raising the spoon over Henry's mouth after he blew the heat off.

"I never seen him so happy." Hope whispered next to Ellen and she smiled knowing what she meant. "They've been through a lot. This is the happy moment for them. You know your uncle smiled can brightened up the most darkest room. Seeing him so happy with the love of his life makes everything they'd gone through seems worth it." Ellen continues.

"What if the bad day comes again?" Hope asks and Ellen turned to face her by her side, "Then we'll get through it like a family, together." She gripped Hope's hand next to her and she looked up with a smile.

.

"I'm not leaving." Alex pressed his lips over Henry's lips again.

"You are." Henry replies.

"I'm not." He adds with another kiss.

"You reeked and you need a shower." Henry says and Alex jaw dropped at the insults.

"I did! Here." He protest.

"A proper shower jerk! With your normal body soap and shampoo and face wash and whatever the hell your expensive skincare that you used." Henry claimed earning Alex a groaned.

"I don't want to go back." He whined earning Henry a soft laughs. He loves when Alex being authoritative when he had too and sometimes, only during their private time he was the only one that gets to see his childish and whiny side.

"Love, I would be here when you comes back. I promised. It's not like I can go anywhere." Henry tries and noticed how it made Alex thinks hard on his decision before he finally give in. "Fine! An hour and I'm coming back." He says before he unwrapped himself from Henry and sat on the edge of the bed.

"No! Go home, shower, rest and come back in the morning." Henry protest turning Alex's head sharply at him. "You know I can't sleep without you Hen." Henry gaze softened at his word before he sighed. "I'm sorry love." Henry leaned pressing his lips over Alex's shoulder.

"Take your time and come back later tonight alright." He corrected his word and Alex nods before he pressed his lips onto Henry's and he smiled watching him run out the room to hurry himself back to him.

.

The moment Henry knew Alex is gone and out from the hospital he didn't waste any more time before he got off the bed. He pulled out the monitors from his chest and luckily he wasn't connected to the IV anymore so he can walked freely without dragging the IV pole. He sat his legs down on the floor sitting by the edge of his bed trying to find strength on his limp legs after almost a week in bed.

Henry had few walks back and forth to the bathroom but Alex is always there to catch him if he falls and he barely had that many steps. But he is adamant and he needed to get out of this room to see Luke. It has been days since he knew anything about him and they are only telling him briefly.

He stood up holding on to the side of the rails pursing his lips. He shut his eyes tight not wanting the dizziness hits him or making him fall. When Henry finally felt strong enough to move, he took small steps reaching for the door.

Henry walked along the hallway holding on to the walls before he was stopped by the nurse with her arm crossed. "Going somewhere?" She asks and Henry sighed before stopping in his track. "Stretching my legs. Dr Sylvie said that it's good for my circulations." Henry fake a smile and the nurse glare at him.

"Mhm. I'm guessing to the fifth floor of the PICU?" She asks and Henry raised his eyebrow at her. "Uhm- no. Why would I go there?" He asks laughing nervously. "Because other than spending time here, your boyfriend would spend time there too. He's in bed five. Thought you might wanna know." She says before she left and Henry smiled thanking her.

As he walked to the PICU unit, it was completely different than the ICU he stayed in. The walls are colorful bright with pictures of animals and flowers painted all over the mural wall. It was noisier here than his ICU environment. He walked further pulling the robe closer around his chest before his eyes caught the room number.

His chest palpating in nervousness as he stepped into the room listening to the same heartbeat monitor he had for himself but it was a little faster than his.

"Luke." The sight of his small frail body over the bed with tubes coming out of his mouth and his eyes caught the whirling machine running next to him. "It's a dialysis machine. We had to keep dialyzed him every other day so his blood would be rid of whatever toxin he was injected with." One of the nurse said as she saw Henry walked into the room.

"I assumed you would be Henry?" She asks and Henry nods with a weak smile. "Here, sit. You don't look so good." She offered him a chair next to Luke and Henry thanked her. He had his palm pressed over his chest trying to ease the pain from the wound of his surgery. She left right after closing the door behind her letting Henry had his privacy.

Henry sat by Luke's side holding his small palm in his feeling the coldness of his lonely self. "I'm so sorry Luke. I shouldn't have let you go. I should have fought harder. I should have stopped you from leaving." Henry cried running his fingers over Luke's knuckle.

"You have a family Luke, you have me. I won't let you go. I won't give up on you. I promised you that you would feel the love that you were promised. A home, a parent. I just need you to be alright. Please. You're not alone Luke. I'm right here, can you hear me?" Henry whispered letting tears fell on his cheek as he stayed there on the chair next to him.

There was nothing but silence, no twitch nor a flexed from Luke's side making Henry sighed desperately for him to hear whatever he had to say. But Henry chose to stay by his side however long Luke needed him too. 

.

"Unbelievable." Alex voice startled him from his stares turning Henry's head around to the source. Henry sighed groaning in defeat when he sees Alex standing by the door with his arm crossed and his eyes squinted at Henry by Luke's side with his chin tilt forward. Henry couldn't care less for his expression nor his comment on his presence and the only thing he could feel was how heavy his head and his body is right now.

Henry could feel his body weaken and pain shoots him all over his joints when he moves from sitting on the hard chair. "I told you to stay in bed! Why is it so hard for you to listen to me?" Alex threw his bag over the floor hard causing Henry to jump in his seat.

"Uhm-" Henry mumbles, swallowing his throat painfully but Alex cuts him off.

"Don't! I'm pissed at you beyond words right now!" Henry could feel Alex's anger fuming especially when he tries to say something. He didn't want to make him more upset but he wasn't exactly feeling guilty by his action either. He needed to see Luke and Alex won't let him.

"You won't let me see him so I had to take my chances." Henry says fixing himself on the chair. "Yeah, I can see that and believe me when I said I am not letting you out of my side anymore!" Alex yells next to him and noticed Henry's grimacing features. "What is it?" He asks watching as Henry palmed his chest with a furrowed brows.

"I- I don't know. Maybe just- tired." Henry tried to sit up from the chair before he felt the dizziness overwhelmed him and he fell back on the chair. "Woah, woah, you're alright?" Alex rushed kneeling in front of Henry by his legs and he noticed how pale Henry got. "I'm sorry. I just wanna see Luke. I'm so sorry." Henry repeats.

"You bet your ass you're sorry. Damn it Henry! You're lucky I love you." He says before he let Henry wrapped his arm above Alex's shoulder while Alex had his arm lifting Henry off the chair from under his knees. "I can walk to the room. You don't have to carry me there." Henry denies but Alex shook his head at him.

"Keep telling yourself that sugar. I rather carry you, my handsome prince." Alex gestured earning Henry a soft chuckles before he rested his head over Alex's shoulder and allow him to carry him back to his room.

.

"What happened?" The nurse shrieked at the sight of Henry being carried back to the ICU by Alex and noticed the obvious glared from Alex's face.

"I told you not to let him out of bed Becca!" Alex scolded her. "I'm sorry but he was doing so good and I thought-" she paused.

"Well you thought wrong! Called Dr Sylvie NOW!" He told her angrily earning Henry a groaned. "Stop, I'm fine. Don't be mad at her." Henry protest and Alex grunted. "You right! I should be mad at you Hen for acting so stupid!" He yells as he carried him to bed. As much as he's angry at Henry right now, he still worries that something might happened to him so he placed him over the bed gently and let the nurse taking his vitals.

"His blood pressure dropped." She says after taking his measurement.

"What? How is that possible?! It was sky high before he's off the bed." Alex questioned her and she rushed out to get help.

"Hen, as much as I wanted to spank you right now, I need you to stay awake alright." Alex brushed his fingers through Henry's blonde hair and he snorted at his attempt to spank him. "I don't think we're ready for that kind of relationship yet darling." Henry laughs weakly feeling his eyes drowsy in bed.

"Well I kind of had too if you're keep behaving like this." Henry laughs weakly as he felt Alex's comforting warmth around his palm as he sat on the bed facing him. He stares at Henry's pale sweating face and couldn't help worrying. He couldn't shake the feeling that creeping inside telling him that Henry isn't alright. By the look on his pale face, his cold sweats and his white lips is definitely not a good sign for Henry right now. 

"I'm fine. Just tired." Henry whispered as if he could read Alex's mind that was churning inside of him. Alex looked up to meet his pale gaze not able to scold him when he realized Henry dozed off into his sleep.

"I wish it was true Hen." He whispered with his eyes pooling in tears. He leaned forward pressing his lips over Henry's cold clammy forehead when he heard the door barged opened and Dr Sylvie came in frantic. "What happened?"

.

"He's fine for now." Dr Sylvie said the next morning when she did her round and Alex and Henry was the only one in the room at the moment. The day is still early, almost nine and Henry just finished his morning routing being helped by Alex. After so long confined to bed, he felt fresher when he woke up that morning in hope that he could see Luke again today.

"Now about your little adventure." She starts before handing the folder to the nurse and gesturing her to leave. "Henry I must tell you that your heart is really unstable right now. I can't emphasize how much damage that your heart does have at this moment." She sat on the small chair facing Alex sitting next to Henry in bed with the same shared look on their face.

"I thought you fix me?" Henry says with a furrowed brow.

"How many times can you sew a button on a torn shirt?" She asks and Alex gasped next to Henry turning his head to the side. "What are you saying?" Henry asks clueless turning his gaze back and forth towards Alex and Sylvie.

"It means that your heart muscles is beyond repair if there were any further damage Hen. You have got to start taking care of yourself or else." Alex cuts in with tears in his eyes. Henry shoulder slumped as he leaned back against the bed still had Alex's hand in his listening to him sniffing his tears away while he talked to Dr Sylvie about his care plan.

"I wanna see Luke." He whispered turning their gaze back at him. "NO!" Alex tone is strong and Henry wasn't surprised by it.

"You don't get to tell me what to do." Henry says pulling away from Alex's hand and it was the cue for Sylvie to leave the room. "I'll see you later." She says before left the room feeling the coldness dropped between them.

Alex stood with a sigh rubbing his palm over his face before he turned to face Henry on the bed. "After all these years Hen. After everything we've been through." Alex starts as Henry faced him over the bed with his arm crossed over his lap.

"Don't I get a little amount of respect and dignity for making decision for you? I don't get to tell you what to do? After everything we've been through don't you think I deserved to make the decision for you? For us?" He says with breaks in his voice and tears starts glistening in his eyes.

"You do." Henry whispered and he could see a little sigh of relief coming out of him. "But until then, this is the only thing that I get to do before I die." He says turning Alex gaze back with a trembled lips.

"Don't say that please." He begs with more tears sliding down his face.

"C'mere." Henry gestured with his arm raised for him and Alex strides towards his hug.

"I need you Hen, I need you in my life. Please don't leave me again." He begs as Henry wrapped his arm around his body. "It's out of my control baby. But at least I get to do the right thing before my time is up, starting with Luke." He whispered into Alex's curls before he felt him raised his head to face him.

"And you." Henry continues pressing his lips over Alex's forehead.

"I want to marry you, I want us to adopt Luke and give him the life he deserves. I want to spend the rest of my little amount of time I had with you. Then if go, I will go in peace. I have no regrets. You know why?" He asks as Alex stares at him with tears, "Because I know I won't leave you alone in this world. You have my family, my nieces, your parents, the most annoying but caring siblings you could have." Alex chuckled in his tear with Henry as he pulled him closer to his chest.

"The most important thing of all, you had Luke and you get to watch him grow into a man and only you will know his past. Then you will tell him when he's ready about us. How we met, how you helped me going through my darkest past. How we fell in love. My memories will live on with you telling my stories. But until then, we will not think about this. We will live our life while I recover and we will love each other until we meet again."

Alex couldn't help stopping his tears from falling down on his face as he wrapped himself around Henry's waist. He knew this day would come, he knew Henry was never alright even if he says he is. Deep down he knew Henry was never his to have, he was just borrowed until the time he has to go back to his dead parents.

"What if I can't live without you Hen? What if-" he sat up from hugging Henry's waist to face him to get a clearer view. "What if you're gone and- I can't stay here not having you by my side. I love you so much." He stares at Henry's face and Henry smiled weakly pulling him by his neck and pressed their lips together.

"You had no idea how much I love you Alex. To the moon and back. Through heaven and hell. When I'm gone, I will always be here with you. You might not see me but you will hold on to the hope that we will see each other again. There's nothing that would take that away. But first, I need you to live for you, for our family and then one day, when you're coming back to me, you will tell me everything that I had missed while I'm gone. Deal?" Henry asks through his teary eyes and Alex smiled forcefully with a nod, "Deal."

Their lips pressed once more with tears wetting their faces. He couldn't care less which other tears that actually fell through their skin and all he knew is that Henry is here right now, he is alive, for now and Alex will enjoy every single seconds being with him doing whatever he wanted.

"Wait." He says abruptly wiping his tears with the heel of his palm before he stood from the bed and rushed to his bag pack that he left over the couch. Henry witnessed him rummaging through the bag with his back facing him as Henry sat himself up straight.

He saw Alex stood with his arm behind his back with the widest smile on his face showing his dimples over the side of his cheek earning Henry a smile as well. "What you got there?" He asks as Alex stride closer with his hand still behind him.

Henry turned with his legs dangling over the bed right above the floor as Alex stepped closer and before he knew it, Alex took a knee right before him. He gasped a little when Alex revealed the same box he had before he went for his surgery opened right on Alex's palm revealing the beautiful sets of rings in them.

"Alex." Henry whispered with a gasped and Alex smiled placed his hand over Henry's lap. "I never met anyone like you. The one that challenged me, annoys me, made my heart goes from calm to a storm and vice versa. Every night without you is torture and every day without you is a torment Henry. So please, for the love of God, just fucking marry me already." He says earning Henry a soft laughed before he smiled at his gesture.

"Of course damn it!" Henry pulls him by his cheek and pressed their lips together but he was a little too strong when he pushed himself against Henry to kiss him and they both fell. Alex laughs when Henry falls back in bed with Alex right on top of him and they both shared a crackling laugh together. "We gotta stop meeting like this." Alex whispered running his fingers over Henry's soft blonde hair and watch the radiant smile flashing through his face.

He leaned pressing a kiss over Henry's lips again before he stood up and placed the ring over Henry's finger. Henry took the other ring in the box and placed them over Alex's with a smirked plastered over his face. "Perfect fit." He whispered and Henry looked up to meet his eyes. Alex leaned to give him another soft kiss over his lips before wrapping his arm around Henry's body hugging him closer to his stomach.

"I love you." He whispered pressing his lips over the top of Henry's head.

"I love you." Henry replies equally wrapping his arm over Alex's waist pressing his cheek close to his sculpted abs.
