Title: Bedside Chairs (Two connected drabbles)
Author: Foreverbm
Timeline: In the future a few years
Condom: 2 to Michael
Michael sat in the chair watching Ben sleeping. The doctor’s had been, reassuring him that he would be fine. His viral load was stabilized now they had changed his meds and he would be able to go home tomorrow.
He tried not to think of a day when those words wouldn’t be said; a day when he wouldn’t leave the hospital with his arm around his husband; a day when he walked into their home without Ben by his side; a day when he woke up in a lonely bed; a day when life would never be the same again.
Ben stirred. There was a dim light shining but it was enough to see Michael; asleep in the chair. He hadn’t moved since they’d arrived three days ago. He’d tried to get him to go home and rest but his stubbornness had come to the fore so he’d given up.
He knew the thoughts that would have been going through his husband’s mind over the last days. He wished there was something he could do to stop that haunted look Michael got in his eyes when he thought no one was watching him.
All he could do was love him.
