I Own Nothing
AN: Another story I wrote after the winter finale. This time I wrote from TK's POV at first.
Summary: TK wakes up thinking he's alone after what happened earlier with him being kidnapped.
Title: Not About To Leave
TK woke up with a start feeling like he couldn't breathe. The room wasn't familiar and at first he thought he was back at Charles' restaurant being held by the psychos. It took him a moment to realize he was in the hospital still. He looked around not seeing anyone at first. He knew his parents had left, but Carlos had been beside him. He'd pulled him on the bed not caring how uncomfortable it had been for both of them to lay on it. He'd fallen asleep listening to Carlos singing to him. It was one of the ways he'd found to comfort him since they'd started dating. Some times he'd sing something in Spanish to him which he knew too. Thanks to his mom he knew three other languages.
Right now the only thing he cared about was that Carlos wasn't next to him. He started to panic because even if he knew he was in the hospital his mind was racing. Everything was starting to catch up to him. He had been surrounded by his parents and Carlos until now. He didn't want to be alone. He had almost been killed and was lucky that he'd gotten off with being hit in the head. He shut his eyes trying to count to stop his self from thinking the worst. Carlos had to be near by, he wasn't in some nightmare, he'd found him. He'd left him the clue, he had known that he had to do something so he'd left his sobriety chip. Carlos had given it back to him earlier. He'd told him how smart he was for leaving the clue. They wouldn't have found them without it.
He turned on his right side bringing his legs up shutting his eyes tight not caring that it hurt when he did it. It pulled at the stitches, but the pain meant he was awake. He wanted to go find Carlos, but he didn't know where he could have gone. He was supposed to be there beside him. He promised he wasn't going anywhere, but he'd woken up alone. His mom had already left him again. He might had said he was okay and knew they were still a family. He still felt lost because for months he'd had it perfect. His parents together, a boyfriend that loved him, and once he got used to the idea he had a brother to watch grow up. Now he was gone too because his mom went back to New York. His dad wasn't going to come back til morning since he was taking her to the air port. He was alone yet again.
The bathroom door in the room opening brought him back to reality. He saw the light shining for a moment through the room. He sat up turning so he was looking at Carlos coming out of it. He hadn't left him, he hadn't woke up alone after all. His boyfriend just had to go to the bathroom. He hadn't heard him in there though and hadn't thought about it. He let out a strangled sound trying not to let it get out, but when Carlos looked at him he knew he heard him. He had held it together earlier, he'd told his parents he was fine, he'd told his self he was okay, but he wasn't. He'd could have been killed and he'd never gotten back to the ones he loved. He'd put all his faith in Carlos finding him when he didn't show up for dinner like he'd said he would. He actually cared and noticed if he was missing.
"TK, hey you're safe." Carlos said getting to his boyfriend's side. It felt like hours earlier, except he knew TK wasn't in danger right now.
"I thought you left." TK said holding onto Carlos with everything he had. He choked it out in a sob holding on not wanting to ever let go. "I woke up alone and didn't know where you went." He took the comfort in Carlos' arms around him thankful that he could feel them.
"It's okay, I'm right here. I'm not about to leave your side. Your mom went all scary lawyer on the doctor to get me to stay here with you. Do you honestly think I'd want on the other side of her if I left you? No, I love you. I just got you back, so not planning on leaving you. I'm thinking about putting you in one of those giant bubbles though. Maybe put GPS tracking in you." Carlos replied with a smile.
TK couldn't help but laugh at the idea of a bubble. He wasn't trying to be a danger magnet, it had always found him though. "Even in New York I was prone to finding it. Three months before we moved here I broke some ribs during a rescue. Got lucky it was only things that got broken because how happened. I had a concussion too and passed out, but woke up in hospital alone. The fire was bad was still going after five hours. Dad was still there and my mom was gone somewhere on business. I guess I went back to that moment when I woke up. Then everything else finally caught up without you here." TK answered breathing in Carlos' scent loving how he always smelt perfect.
"I'm sorry you got triggered. I'm not leaving you alone for a second unless I have to. I thought we both might be better off if I'd gone to the bathroom." Carlos said which got him another smile from TK. He kissed him moving his hand over his bare back since the gown was open in the back.
"Baby, don't start something we can't finish here." TK moaned when he pulled back for air. The kiss had been on the verge of getting heated. He wanted more, but it wasn't like they could have fun tonight.
"When I get you home I'm going show you just how happy I am. Right now we can go back to sleep." Carlos said giving in to another round of kisses.
"I like that word, home when refers to your place. The one place I don't have to worry about what I see or hear." He joked, but of course his dad's would be quiet for the most part again. "We can go back to sleep now. Don't want to think about anything besides us right now."
"Okay." Carlos replied knowing that TK wanted to forget about his mom leaving again. He got up going to the other side of the bed letting TK get comfortable first then he got in behind him wrapping his arms around TK being careful not to hit his head when he rested his against TK's cheek. "I love you, I'll always do my best not to leave you. Close your eyes and get some sleep." He said kissing TK's neck.
"Sing to me again. It'll help me get back to sleep." TK said holding onto Carlos' arm that was around him.
Carlos smiled nuzzling against TK's neck before he started singing. He'd done it plenty of times before tonight. He'd done it some times to bring TK out of a bad mood. TK had done the same thing for him as well. He thought about it for a moment then started singing the song TK had the other day in the car. Hero had become TK's new favorite song by Enrique Iglacious. They actually had a play list that TK kept adding to. He had added some his self. He felt TK slipping back into the land of sleep. He didn't stop singing until he was sure he was resting in peace again he hoped he didn't wake up thinking he was alone again.
~THE END~
