Lungs
He raised his head again but this time he heard a splutter of water. He looked back to see Aaron coughing the water out of his lungs. He raised his head helping him to get more of the water out.
He finally opened his eyes fully and whispered, "Kiss me again."
Dave looked back at him in shock. Had he really heard what he thought he just heard? Did Aaron really want him to kiss him again? Did he love him too?
He looked back at him and saw his eyes were full of love. Was that love for him? He really hoped so. He'd never loved anyone like he loved him not even his wives. He'd never loved anyone as much as he did him.
"Dave, kiss me," he whispered trying to grab his hand but feeling weak.
"Later I promise you. First we need to get you looked at," he answered. Aaron rolled his eyes in answer but was surprised when he felt Dave's hand caress his cheek. "Aaron, you nearly drowned indulge me."
"Fine," he sighed.
The paramedics went over to him and placed him on a stretcher. The ambulance carrying the victim had already driven off to the hospital. Rossi climbed in beside Hotch and took his hand.
He stroked his hand trying to keep him calm while he could feel the frustration and anger boil inside of Aaron. He knew how stubborn he could be about getting help. He seemed to be providing him a calm influence though.
When they got to the hospital he was examined. The doctors ran tests over him and his lungs to check if the water had done any damage. They found there was still some dirt in his lungs.
"There's a little dirt in your lungs," the doctor said.
"What needs to be done?" he answered.
"You'll have to rest for a week. Your lungs will dissolve it by themselves."
Aaron rolled his eyes. "I'll make sure he does," Dave answered firmly.
"Of course you will," Aaron grumbled.
He rubbed his arm and whispered, "Maybe if you behave you'll get that kiss."
He looked back up at him with desire. "Really?" he whispered.
He smiled up at him slightly and Dave led him out to the car that had been brought for him. Once in the car he said, "Come on, you and Jack can stay at my place."
"Thanks Dave but would it be wise right now. We've only just got together," he answered.
"We got together?" he replied raising an eyebrow.
"You love me, don't you?"
"I do," he answered gazing into his eyes.
"I love you, too..." He then looked up at him nervously and added, "Will you be mine?"
"Of course I will," he smiled kissing his hair. "Let's get home."
He nodded. He felt like they'd already spent too long in the hospital and was looking forward to that kiss. He couldn't believe he had a boyfriend but it just felt so right. He'd never loved anyone as much as he loved Dave.
