Prompt from GrahamCrackerEG: story about Seth having Chemo.
Seth sits in the doctor's office and stares at the paper. The doctor had told him the news but the paper just seemed to make it real. He holds his head as he lets the paper drop to the floor. He had Lymphoma and it was an aggressive form. The treatment needed to start immediately for him to survive and even then he may not survive. he had cancer and it was deadly.
Seth holds his head as he looks down at the floor. His head drops as tears come to his eyes.
The doctor touches Seth's arm and then speaks softly. "is there anyone we can call.. or just someone that can stay with you?"
Seth shakes his head and whispers. "there's no one. I'll be fine though.. I'm just going to go home. I just want to go home.. please."
Seth stands up and picks up the paper. He walks out with out any other word since right now he needs time. He needs process that his life was over and that he was dieing. The doctor takes a breath and debates on calling Seth's next of kin to keep the man from doing something stupid. Seth shouldn't be driving and he needs someone. The doctor finally moves and picks up the phone.
Seth heads down stairs to the parking lot. He had been in a long term relationship before he went out for his knee injury. But they had ended after the man picked his wife over Seth. Seth knew he would but it still hurt. Seth wraps his arms around himself as he leans against the car. The paper crinkling in his fist. Now he didn't have anyone. He couldn't ask his friends to come help when honestly he was a shitty friend and choose his career over friendship.
Seth finally moves after some time to gather himself. He reaches for the door to the car and then freezes when he hears a rough voice. "Princess you are not driving."
Seth looks over his shoulder at Dean who is standing there. "I'm not in the mood Ambrose."
Dean looks at him and walks over. Seth stiffens expecting a punch or something. Instead Dean wraps his arms around Seth and pulls him tightly against him. Seth lets out a shuddering breath and then tries to move away. Dean's hand though was knotted in Seth's hair and he holds him tightly. He wasn't letting Seth go.
Seth shakes and then sobs into Dean's chest. "it's not fair.."
Dean nods and whispers. "I know princess. I know though that you're gong to beat this."
Seth sobs and shakes his head. Dean though keeps Seth close and leads him back to his own car. The doctor had resorted to calling him. The doctor had been worried that Seth would do something or cause an accident by driving distracted. Dean doesn't know how he managed to drive them home with Seth clinging to him like a koala but he does.
He makes it into Seth's apartment. He crinkles his nose seeing the mess. Seth has been injured but it's obvious other then caring for Kevin, Seth hasn't been taking care of himself or the house. Dean watches Seth walks into the apartment looking lost. Dean shuts the door and then picks Kevin up.
Kevin whines softly and Dean walks over. He puts Kevin in Seth's arms and then wraps him up. He helps him onto the couch and speaks softly. "Don't shut down on me princess."
Seth holds Kevin tightly to his chest and whispers. "Promise me, you will take care of Kevin."
Dean takes a breath and then sits on the floor. He rests a hand on Seth's stomach and then speaks softly. "Kevin is going to be fine. Because you're not leaving and you are going to beat this."
Seth looks at dean with tears in his eyes. "what if.."
Dean shakes his head and then whispers. "Kevin will be fine. I promise you."
Seth nods and holds onto Kevin. He curls into himself. Kevin was looking distressed and licking at Seth. Dean keeps his hand on Seth's stomach and rubbing it. He knows that Seth has to either cry himself out or calm down. Right now Dean was thinking the first might happen. He sits there and then looks up when Seth holds onto Dean's hand. Dean smiles softly at the man and whispers gently. "I'll be here through this. Don't worry."
Seth wipes at his eyes and then whimpers. "Thank you."
Dean takes a personal leave and informed Hunter for Seth. Hunter was devastated for two reasons. One was business. He was losing two wrestlers for an unknown period of time and he knew Roman would take time off too to see his friend. The other reason was Seth was his protege and he had the biggest soft spot for Seth. He said he would come see him soon with Stephanie and that Dean take as long as he needs. Dean agreed to this.
Dean then cleaned the apartment from top to bottom while Seth slept that night. He wasn't sure what he was going to do or how he was going to keep Seth going but he wasn't going to let seth die. He would help him through this.
Roman actually arrived after grabbing the package from the doctor. It had all the information that Seth needed for Chemotherapy. Roman suggested putting Seth to bed while he slept but Dean refused. He didn't want Seth alone at all. So Roman and Dean sat that the table reading the information.
