Falling | Mxm (Completed) Chapter 95

Edited

The world tour had started, and they had just finished their second and last night in their city. They would leave for their first destination in a week.

Tonight, after the concert finished, and they were on their way backstage, Aiden was teasing Edwin about something he had done on the stage. They were playing around and giggling, energetic from the adrenaline of the after-concert, when suddenly Edwin flew down the stairs and landed on his left knee. He had his two palms on the ground, on all fours.

Aiden had never run down the stairs that fast in his entire life.

“Eddie, fuck, are you okay, baby?” He said as he put his hand on Edwin’s back carefully, not wanting to hurt him further.

The younger had his head hung low as he winced in pain and tried to get up but failed and held himself on his right knee and palms instead.

“Ah,… my knee hurts so bad…” He exhaled shakily.

Aiden hugged his waist carefully and helped him turn around and sit. It was a hard and painful process, but they managed. It took a couple of minutes for him to do that small turning around action with how slowly they did it.

Brad and other dancers, along with a few of the staff members, were circling around them and looking at the situation with worried eyes.

“Please tell me I didn’t hurt my knee right before the tour.” Edwin gasped desperately, eyebrows frowning due to the amount of pain he was enduring and the thought of having to stay behind again.

Aiden looked at him with extremely worried, sad, and teary eyes before he looked at his knee.

“Brad,” The older called as he looked around in search of the dancer.

“Yeah, Den?”

“Can you please take him to the hospital? I still have to be here.” Aiden looked up at him with such pleading eyes.

“Of course.” Brad replied and crouched down to help the younger up.

“No, I got it. Just go get the car ready.” Aiden circled his arm around Edwin’s thighs and the other around his waist. “Try and keep your knee in the position it is right now as I lift you up.” He said as he looked at the pained face of his boyfriend, who nodded, eyes not leaving his own knee.

Edwin circled his arm around Aiden’s neck as he lifted him up and kept his knee in the position it was with so much effort. It really hurt like a bitch. Aiden walked carefully toward the exit. Brad was already there with his car, waiting for them. The dancer opened the backseat door and helped Aiden with putting him inside the vehicle.

“I’m sorry I can’t come with you now. I’ll come as soon as I’m done here.” The older said as he caressed his cheek with his thumb, looking at him with such apologetic expression and a weak smile that was meant to be reassuring.

“It’s fine! I understand. I’ll just-” He moved to get himself more comfortable but didn’t expect the pain that shot through his entire body. He winced and placed his hand on his knee that was resting on the backseat.

“Careful!” Aiden shouted anxiously, but got himself under control and rubbed his own palm over Edwin’s on his knee.

“Take good care of yourself until I get there.” He said gently before turning to look at Brad. “Take him to the central hospital and ask for doctor Kevin Abrahams. I’ll call him to let him know you’re on your way.” The singer said and with one last caress on his cheek, he crawled out and closed the door, waving his hand for Brad to start the car.

Aiden got there around three hours later. He didn’t really remember a thing from the whole fan event with how his mind was with Edwin.

Walking in the direction of Dr. Abraham’s room, he saw Brad and Edwin coming from across the hallway. He was sitting in a wheelchair and Aiden’s heart stopped upon seeing that.

“What happened? What did they say? Does it still hurt?” He asked as soon as he stopped running toward them and knelt down in front of the younger.

“Don’t sit on the floor, Den! It’s not clean here.” Edwin said upon seeing his knees getting in touch with the white floor. “We’re just back from getting an MRI. We should show it to Dr. Abrahams now.” The younger pointed at the doctor’s room. He was a bit pale.

Aiden stood up and brushed Edwin’s hair off his face to the sides and nodded at Brad. Knocking on the doctor’s door, Aiden held it open after they were given permission for Brad to take Edwin inside.

“Oh, Aiden! Long time no see, man!” The doctor stood up and circled his desk, hugging the singer tightly as he patted his back firmly.

“Sorry Kevin, I just didn’t have many chances of getting hurt as I’ve been on hiatus. I’ll make sure to make it up to you!” Aiden giggled and earned himself a slap on his bicep by the doctor who was looking at him fondly with the brightest smile on his face. You could say Edwin did not like their little encounter.

“Don’t be ridiculous! I don’t wanna see any other broken bone or fracture or whatever on you. You’ve injured everything there is to injure once at least during these years! Not to mention your knee condition!” Dr. Abrahams said as he crossed his arms on his chest and looked down at Aiden. He was probably taller than Edwin.

The singer smiled crookedly at that, as he had never mentioned anything about his knee to the other two present in the room. It was just something he kept to himself as it was something that came from time to time when he overworked himself to the fullest, both on the stage and in the gym.

“Anyway, Brad, give me the MRI, please.” The doctor stretched his hand toward the dancer.

As he went to put the results on the board, Aiden knelt down in front of Edwin again and took both of his hands in his, placing kisses on each one carefully and rubbing them with his thumbs. Not only pale, but the younger was also cold.

“Hmmmm, you’re very lucky, Edwin. Nothing is broken. Your bones don’t even have a scratch on them. With what you told me and how in pain you were before the painkiller, I was sure you’re injured, but there’s nothing.” The doctor turned around and smiled at him genuinely. “It’s not even swollen. You’re thin, but your bones seem to be strong. You’re good!” He winked at him, went back to his desk, and sat in his chair as he wrote something down. The doctor had quite a playful and cheery personality.

“Aiden, mind putting your handsome boyfriend on the bed for me?” The doctor said with a smirk as he looked at the singer with a naughty gaze.

“On the bed? For you? Never!” Aiden looked at the doctor, smirked back, and giggled right after.

Edwin was sure his face was as red as a tomato from the obvious innuendo and squeezed the older’s hand in warning. Aiden turned to him instantly and mouthed ‘sorry’ with a slight smile.

“Hold on to me, baby.” The older said as he carefully hugged Edwin and lifted him up from the wheelchair, putting him on the bed as gently as he could. If his knee was okay, why the fuck was Edwin in so much pain even though he took painkillers an hour ago?

“I’m gonna show you how to massage Edwin’s knee. His bones are okay, but the muscle tissues are tensed. You need to massage them in order to loosen them again.” Kevin explained as he walked toward the bed. He started massaging his knee slowly while explaining to Aiden every step and the things he had to be careful about.

“Just do this for two days and it should be okay.” Then he looked at Edwin. “If, by any chance, you still had the slightest amount of pain after a couple of days, come here again and we’ll do dry needling.”

Edwin nodded and wanted nothing more than to go home, shower, and go to sleep. He was really sleepy, and the sweat that had dried on his skin was driving him insane. Not to add the fact that he was in pain and the doctor’s way of looking at his boyfriend was pretty much on his nerves.

“Is there any medication he should get?” Brad asked. Edwin suspected it was to break the invisible tension.

“No. Just buy some painkillers on your way home if you don’t have any.” He stood straight and smiled at the dancer. Yep, he was definitely taller than Edwin!

“Here. Hold on to my shoulder.” Aiden said as he helped Edwin put his sweatpants on. His expression was of pure helplessness.

“I told you it’s not your fault. I didn’t see the steps myself!” The younger said as he put his hand on Aiden’s shoulder for support as he was sitting on the edge of the bed. “And it’s not even serious. Even the doctor said it’ll be okay in a couple days.”

The hard process of showering and putting his clothes on was finally done. Every little movement caused him pain, but he hid most of it cos his lover didn’t need to know exactly how much it hurt. He felt guilty enough as it was for no reason whatsoever.

“I was the one distracting you. If I wasn’t talking to you, you would be looking to the front, and you’d see those fucking stairs.” Aiden mumbled quietly, as it was obvious he was punching himself in his head. He helped Edwin lie down on the bed as he put a pillow under his left knee.

“Is it comfortable?” He asked as his hands were still in the air, close to his knee.

Edwin giggled and nodded. “Yeah, it is. Can you hug me? I’m in terrible need of your embrace now.”

“Of course, bluewin.” He leaned in and pecked the younger’s lips. “Just let me go get a glass of water for you first.”

Aiden sprinted out of the bedroom, and Edwin was left smiling to himself. He always put a glass of water on the nightstand cos he was often thirsty during the night. Now that he wasn’t able to get it himself, the fact that his lover remembered to do it for him warmed his heart even more.

Aiden came back and put the glass on his side. “I’ll put it here, but wake me up if you’re thirsty. Don’t move to take it yourself.” He said before turning around their round bed and crawling on it right next to Edwin.

“Mhm, I will.” He said with a smile, although he was perfectly capable of getting the glass himself but didn’t want to make the other sad by declining. He knew he would be sad if he did. Something about not being able to do anything for him in that situation.

Aiden got closer to him and covered them both with the fluffy blanket.

“Take your shirt off. I wanna feel your skin.” Edwin said after he figured the other had no intention of undressing although they always slept naked. He himself was wearing clothes at that moment only because he was terribly cold and the older had insisted on it.

“But I wanna be fully clothed and ready if your pain became unbearable and we had to leave for the hospital again.” Aiden said as he looked down at him.

“I’m really okay! Now take that shirt off and give me my muscled chest.” He poked the older’s chest playfully and licked his lips as he removed the fabric.

“Don’t lick your lips on me now. Nothing’s gonna happen tonight.” Aiden warned him with a raised eyebrow as he circled his arm under Edwin’s head and sunk his fingers into his hair, massaging his scalp gently. He intertwined his free hand’s fingers with Edwin’s.

The younger leaned in until his face was in touch with the chest he wanted and rubbed his cheek over the smooth skin a few times as he hummed satisfied.

They were silent for a few minutes as Aiden kept on playing with his hair and rubbing the back of his hand with his thumb, kissing him repeatedly everywhere he could reach.

Edwin seemed in thought, but Aiden didn’t say anything. That was, of course, until the younger brought their linked hands to his face and bit down on his thumb, hard enough for the shape of his teeth to be printed on his skin.

Aiden winced as it was slightly painful but giggled and didn’t try to rescue his thumb before it fell off.

“What was that for?” He asked and giggled again as Edwin let his thumb free from his sharp teeth after a few seconds.

“Nothing!” The younger shrugged and pressed his cheek further into his chest.

“Tell me! You bite me only when something annoys you. What did I do?” Aiden knew something must have triggered his pretty jealous boyfriend again, but he didn’t want to use the word ‘jealousy’ in his question. He waited for a reply, but Edwin just pressed a long kiss to his chest with closed eyes and purred into his hug right after.

“Edwin! Baby, tell me! What is it?” He insisted as he got up and propped his body on his elbow, resulting in him getting away from his lover a bit.

Edwin pouted when he was no longer in contact with his favorite body and looked into Aiden’s eyes.

“Did you…” He looked away for a second before looking back at him again. “Was there ever something between you and doctor Abrahams?” His eyes were sparkling with worry as he started biting on the corner of his lip.

“Why do you think so?” Aiden asked gently as he let go of Edwin’s fingers and pressed his thumb on the corner of the plump lips, for the younger to stop abusing the flesh.

The blue-haired boy kissed his thumb. “Just that… he looked at you the way… the way people look at someone they love.” He paused. “Like I look at you.” Edwin forced himself to say those words as he drew patterns on Aiden’s chest with his index finger. The sensation tickling his skin a bit.

He looked down into his beautiful boyfriend’s eyes and it was his turn to bite his lips. A slight frown appeared on his face.

“We hooked up a few times back in high school. But he doesn’t love me or anything. His gaze is just intimate like that.” He said in a low, quiet voice, afraid of whether it would upset his lover or not.

“He wasn’t looking at me or Brad like that…” Edwin said in a whisper as he looked down.

Aiden took his chin with his index finger and thumb and made him look up. He pecked Edwin’s lips once, twice, three times before he leaned back and looked into his eyes passionately.

“He looks at the people he knows and is friends with like that. If you want, we can gather up with Joe as well and you can see that he looks at dimples just the way he looks at me. He will look at you the same way even, if you guys become friends. He’s just… he’s just friendly and playful like that.”

Edwin looked at him intently while he talked and smiled when he was finished. Pouting his lips forward, he closed his eyes and silently asked to be kissed. He leaned down again and kissed him slowly and passionately, pouring his heart out through the kiss to show his delicate boyfriend that there was nothing or no one he loved apart from him.

They kissed for a few minutes until suddenly his phone started vibrating on the nightstand. At first, he wanted to ignore it, but then Edwin’s palm that was on his chest pushed him back a bit.

“Check who it is. I got weird chills like something’s going on.” The younger said as he leaned back and looked in the direction of the nightstand.

Aiden sat up and reached for the device. It was Ian. Why the hell would Ian call him at 5 in the morning?!

“Hmm?”

“SHE’S COMING! OUR BABY IS COMING!” He screamed into the phone.

Aiden took the device away from his ear automatically with how loud the other was. And then the words suddenly registered in his brain.

“WHAT? NOW?!” He shouted into the phone and caught Edwin off guard as he watched him with curious wide eyes.

“YES! WE’RE ON OUR WAY THERE. COME FAST!” And then Ian hung up.

Their friends had come to the first night of the concert, but they had no idea Edwin was injured on the second night. Aiden looked at the black screen of his phone and then at Edwin and didn’t know what he was supposed to do in that situation. On one hand, he couldn’t leave him, on the other, he didn’t want to miss the birth of Finn’s girl! He had waited long months for this exact moment.

“Well? What’s going on?!” Edwin asked.

“Our baby is finally coming! Finn and Clara are probably in the hospital, and Ian and Joe are on their way there.”

“OH MY GOD! What are you waiting for? Put on your shirt and LET’S GO!” Edwin said as he got all excited and threw the blanket away.

“Wait what?! You’re not going anywhere! You need to rest!” Aiden said as he grasped the younger’s wrist to keep him from moving any further.

“To hell with resting! I am not missing this! Hurry up and help me or I’ll stand up on my own.”

It wasn’t easy. Especially with how Edwin didn’t want to be carried around in the hospital so he had to just hug his waist as the younger had his arm around his shoulder for support when they walked into the building and all the way to the private VIP waiting room. Their friends were all there, along with Clara’s family; her mother, father, sister and her sister’s small boy and a couple of her friends.

Setting Edwin down on the chair next to the wall sideways, the younger leaned against it while Aiden put the taller’s legs on his thighs and started massaging his knee as they talked with each other.

“What the hell happened? Why are you two always injured or sick?!” Ian asked, observing Edwin from head to toe.

“You should’ve stayed home, Den. Why did you bring him here?” Joe said as he judged him with his narrowed eyes.

Aiden felt betrayed and wanted to say something, but right when he was about to talk, Edwin took his hand and squeezed it.

“I insisted on coming myself. Don’t corner my man like that. Look at how you got him all sulky!” The younger giggled and pressed his palm on Aiden’s still very pouty lips.

“Did any of you call Max? Why is he not here?!” Brad asked.

“I called him. He said he wasn’t home and would take a bit to get here.” Joe explained.

“He isn’t home?! Where is he then?!” Aiden asked as his protective brother instinct kicked in.

“They went somewhere with Joshua.” The other replied.

Aiden was left confused but didn’t question it further. He decided to have a talk with his little brother later about it. For now, he focused back on massaging the hurt knee.

Ian went and sat beside Brad, who was sitting across from Aiden and Edwin, and leaned his head on his shoulder.

“I’m surprised they’re okay. I thought they’d fight when they get home.” Brad whispered to Ian while looking at the lovey-dovey couple who were talking silently and giggling across from them.

“What do you mean? Why would they fight?” Ian looked up at him without moving away.

“Aiden met with Kevin.” Brad simply said.

“Oh, shit!” Ian sat up straight and looked at the couple and then back at Brad. “Holy shit! I bet Edwin’s face was a sight to see! His gaze becomes so intense when someone gets closer to Aiden than necessary!”

“He was ready to kill, I tell you that! But I’m really curious to know how Aiden always manages to cool down the fire afterward! They don’t seem to have any big fights over these situations.” Brad rubbed his chin.

“Well… he uses his mouth pretty good.” Ian wiggled his eyebrows at Brad, who frowned in confusion and then laughed in understanding.

Ian had just leaned his head on the broad shoulder again when a running Max entered the room, followed by the long-haired boy. They were both panting.

“Are we late?” The younger asked.

“No, we’re still waiting.” Joe said as he walked towards them and shook hands with them both.

Joshua locked eyes with Aiden and quite visibly froze in his spot. The slight smile that was on his face until that second disappeared, but he kept staring.

“Hello, there.” Aiden said, smiling.

Joshua didn’t reply and tore his eyes from him as he looked down and saw the knee pad on Edwin’s leg. His lips parted and his eyes widened and… was it worry in his eyes? The long-haired boy started walking toward them and knelt next to Edwin as he reached out and touched the pad carefully and barely.

“Are you hurt?” He asked as he looked at the taller.

Edwin smiled warmly at him and shook his head. “It’ll be okay. It doesn’t hurt that much.”

Joshua didn’t seem to be convinced as he kept looking at the knee on Aiden’s thighs.

“How have you been?” His boyfriend asked as he started playing with the ends of the boy’s hair that was resting on his shoulder.

Joshua didn’t answer his question. A couple of minutes left until he sat on the floor completely and crossed his legs, grasping Edwin’s hand with both of his own.

“I missed you. You used to sit in the yard at night. But now… it’s all empty.” He paused and looked at their hands. “I used to look at you from afar. Hector always said you look so beautiful when you’re looking at the sky. I couldn’t agree more.” The boy smiled, perhaps recalling a memory.

“You looked at me from afar? Why didn’t you come and sit by my side? We could use each other’s company.” Edwin said in a sweet tone as he curled the long hair around his fingers repeatedly, looking at the boy fondly.

“You… you didn’t seem to like me. Or Hector. We talked about you a lot in my room when he stayed with me.” He shrugged as he kept staring at their hands. And then suddenly he looked up at Aiden. “You’re nothing like him, although you share the same body.” And then he pouted and looked down at his lap. “I miss him so much.”

A few seconds passed. Aiden didn’t know this boy or how he should talk to him. So he didn’t have anything to say, really.

“Is Max treating you well? Are you comfortable with him?” Edwin asked, caressing his hair. Joshua leaned into the touch and closed his eyes.

“He kisses better than Hector.” He chuckled. And then his eyes widened, and he looked at Edwin with a terrified expression. “We only kissed. Hector told me to tell you that. But then you left before I got a chance to do so.” He started playing with Edwin’s fingers. “Kissing always calms me down and he did that for me.”

The taller stared at him with widened eyes without blinking, and Aiden looked back and forth between the two boys, feeling quite out of place.

“Can I… can I stay with you here? I mean, next to you while I’m here? I really like you.” Joshua seemed really shy while saying that, not quite meeting Edwin’s eyes.

“Of course!” The taller smiled and seemed to be shocked by what the boy said.

“I, uh… I’m just gonna go sit over there. You can sit here. You can’t sit on the floor like that.” Aiden said as he carefully stood up and waited for Joshua to get up and sit where he was sitting to place Edwin’s legs on the boy’s thin ones. Looking at Edwin, the taller nodded at him before he looked back at the long-haired boy.

Aiden went across the room and sat next to Brad, signaling Max who was standing at the far end of the room to come to them. The younger sat next to him.

“Little bro, What’s going on between you and Joshua?” He asked as soon as he sat down.

“Uh…” Max looked at the mentioned boy before he looked at the three heads that were looking at him expectantly.

“I’m kinda in love with him.” He said as he played with his long sleeves.

“WHAT.” Brad, Aiden, and Ian whispered-yelled with their eyes as wide as they could get.

“What?! What’s so strange about me loving him?!” He frowned.

“No! Nothing’s wrong. I just never thought of you being in love!” Aiden smiled so wide, his lip corners could tear. He hugged his brother tightly. “My fans use this word, U-W-U when something’s cute. That’s exactly how I’m feeling right now. My little wolfie is in love!” He squished Max some more before ruffling his hair and finally letting him go, only to be suffocated by a hyper Ian. Brad was looking at them, smiling, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

“So? So? Does he love you back? Are you guys both in love??” Ian asked, jumping in his seat.

“I think he does… I mean, he hasn’t said it yet, but he acts like he does,” He paused. “In his own ways.”

“I’m so happy for you, Max! Aaaah~ we finally know what gender you prefer. Now we only need to know who tops!” Brad looked at him from the corner of his eyes, wiggling his eyebrows teasingly.

“OH MY GOD MAN! STOP! Oh god! Jesus! You all should go to church and pray for forgiveness.” Max placed his palms on his ears and acted ever so dramatically.

They all laughed from the bottom of their hearts.

“Stop acting all innocent! We won’t buy it anymore!” Ian pinched him.

“Imagine mom’s face though. Both her sons are gay. She will never have those grandchildren she always wanted so badly. Unless you guys wanna adopt later on, of course.” Aiden chuckled and let himself lean back on Brad’s body.

“About that…” His brother looked perplexed all of a sudden. “I’m really scared! What if dad gets angry at me? What if they disown me? I’m terrified, Den! I can’t… I can’t tell them. Maybe it’s better not to tell them.” He said as his eyes became a bit teary.

“Oh, no kiddo! If there’s one thing I’m satisfied with about mom, it’s the fact that she accepted my sexuality just fine. Or maybe she just didn’t care, I don’t know. But-” He pursed his lips together as he grasped the younger’s hands in his. “Whenever you decide to tell them, you can tell me and I’ll be there by your side. Just so you’re not alone there. I know how terrifying it can be. And I didn’t even give a shit about how anyone would react!”

“You would do that for me?” Max looked pretty emotional.

“Anything for my little brother.” Aiden smiled at him.

The younger hugged him this time and hid his face in his neck. “Thanks bro. Thank you very much. I think I’ll have the courage to tell them if you’re there.” He leaned back and looked at his boyfriend again.

“We talked about living together once he’s discharged from the hospital. It’s gonna be better for both of us. He says he wants to continue studying. He majors in astronomy. I could study better as well. You know how our home is always filled with noises. I can use a bit of peace and quiet while living with my boyfriend.”

“Wow! He finally goes independent! I fully support your decision. Whenever you guys decide on moving in together, just tell me and I’ll buy you a place.” Aiden said, as he patted his shoulder.

“But if you guys could conceive a kid together, they would become the next Einstein! You major in quantum physics and he majors in astronomy! Fucking smart couple!” Ian screeched.

“Please! Who in this group is NOT smart!?” Joe said as he smiled sheepishly and sat down on Ian’s lap, who circled his arms around him immediately.

“Probably me and Finn!” Brad said, laughing.

“Pfft! You have one of the sexiest brains around here! I mean, how can someone come up with so many perfect choreographies continuously?!” Ian mumbled, his lips pressed on Joe’s shoulder.

Aiden looked across the hall at his boyfriend and, well, his brother’s boyfriend. He was about to get up and go to them when suddenly someone attached themselves to his feet. Looking down, a bit startled, he saw a cute little boy, who was asleep until now, hugging his legs and looking up at him with the cutest little smiley face.

“Weiden, I wove you shoMucH!” The little boy said and giggled loudly right after.

Aiden lifted him up and hugged him close to his chest as he caressed his hair.

“I love you so much too!” He cooed as he kissed the kid’s forehead. “What’s your name, baby?”

“MJ!” The kid answered as he kept looking at Aiden, playing with his necklace with his adorable little fingers.

“Tiny MJ~ Why are you so cute~” He pinched his cheek gently. The little boy laughed and curled in his arms. He was attached to him through the next hour until the nurse came out and told them their princess was finally born.

When a half an hour later, they were finally allowed to see Clara and Finn’s newborn, Aiden and Ian broke into tears as soon as they step foot inside the room.

Clara looked really tired and pale, but she was looking down at the baby in her arms so passionately as tears kept running down her cheeks quietly. Finn wasn’t doing any better. It was obvious he wanted to get himself under control, but it was also obvious that he failed with the amount of wetness on his face.

They had gotten a wheelchair for Edwin earlier, so he was sitting on it as Aiden took him inside and to Clara’s bedside.

“Why is she so small?” He asked between his tears, dying to hold her.

“They’re always small when they’re born. She’ll grow just fine.” Brad said, not tearing his eyes from her with a big smile on his face.

Ian was basically crushing Joe in his arms, and the other was hugging him back just as tightly. Max was standing by Edwin and had his hands on the taller’s shoulders as they both were adoring their friend’s kid as well.

“Can I… can I hug her, please?” Aiden asked, unable to hold back any longer.

“Of course!” Clara handed her to him carefully.

“Oh my-… guys!!!” A new flood of tears rushed out of his eyes. “She’s so beautiful!” He couldn’t stop looking at her.

“Let me see her.” Edwin said, and tugged at the hem of his shirt.

Aiden crouched down slowly and carefully until he was at eye level with his boyfriend. The taller’s breath hitched as he looked at her with loving eyes. He reached out and caressed her tiny little hand with his index finger in a feather-like touch and she suddenly opened her little fist and held his finger tightly.

Edwin’s mouth parted as he stared at her and the way she held onto his finger for several seconds until a tear rolled down his face. He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss on his tiny hand.

“Enough for you two. Let me hold her.” Ian took her from him. Max, Joe, and he were dying over her for a couple of minutes until Brad hugged her. She was so so tiny in his arms.

“What are you gonna name our princess?” The dancer asked, looking at Finn and Clara.

Their chef friend took his wife’s hand in his and smiled at her. She nodded at him in response and said: “Well, we decided to go with a gender-neutral name in case of her not being a ‘she’, sooo… Ari!”

“Ari~” Brad replied and looked back at the tiny girl he had in his arms.

“Actually,.. we decided on something else too…” Finn said, and Brad looked at him. “We want you to be her godfather.”

“Me?!” Brad asked with a very much shocked expression. Even his voice was high pitched!

Finn nodded, chuckling.

“I’m… I’m very honored! Thank you very much!” Brad smiled ridiculously wide and placed a warm kiss on her forehead before giving her back to Clara.

They went out a couple of minutes later for Clara to have some alone time with her family and friends. Ian attached himself to Finn from behind in a hug.

“Ari. Our princess, Ari. Finn is Ari’s daddy!” He said and laughed enthusiastically.

“Guys, I love her so much already!” Finn broke into tears again and they were all quick to group hug him. Only Joshua and Edwin stood aside.

It was around noon when they got back home. Edwin had looked so tired but didn’t seem to fall asleep.

“What are you thinking so hard about?” Aiden said as he caressed his side up and down.

“Joshua.” Was the simple and quick answer he got.

“What about him?” He asked again after a kiss on the other’s forehead. This time the reply came a bit hesitantly.

“The whole time I was there, he didn’t talk to me. Didn’t even come near me. Well, apart from that one time I was sitting in the yard. He just came to me and lay his head on my lap, looking at the stars with me quietly.” Edwin spoke as his lips moved against the skin of his chest. He was pressed against him again.

“I didn’t have any idea they talked about me so much. I can’t help but feel like I was being so mean to both him and Hector.” He seemed in thought again. “I wish I’d been more gentle and open with them…”

“Hey!” Aiden brushed the stubborn hair out of the beautiful face and made him look up. “You had enough on your plate. It’s perfectly normal for you to distance yourself from them. I mean, with them kissing and all…” Aiden kept on caressing his cheek with his thumb.

“Yeah, but… the way he talked to me tonight… I don’t know. I wanna make it up to him somehow.” A smile appeared on his face. “You know, he told me they never did anything more than kiss. He said Hector was so bad at it at first, but then learned how to kiss properly. He said they never even got hard and only did it to get Joshua calm! I don’t know how that works, but that’s all it was! I was being jealous and upset over nothing! As per usual, of course!!” He giggled and hid his face in the crook of Aiden’s neck, embarrassed by the many times he had become jealous over stupid things.

“Maybe it’s not healthy, but I like it when you get all jealous! I don’t know, it’s just so hot to me! I wanna just kiss and make love to you until the feeling goes away and you’re reassured you’re the only one for me forever.”

Edwin didn’t get out of his hiding place and started kissing and biting on the skin of Aiden’s neck. The older hissed and tugged at the blue hair slightly, making his lover let go of his neck.

“Stop! You’ll get me all turned on!” He said, as Edwin refused to be separated from him.

“So? What’s the problem with that?” He mumbled into his skin.

“It’s not happening until you’re fully healed. I don’t wanna go nuts and accidentally cause more harm to your body.” He said as he let his hand travel under the thin boy’s shirt.

“Will you rub over my back until I sleep, then? I really love it when you do that.” Edwin said, looking up at him.

“I know you do. Of course. Just sleep already. Your eyes are all red and puffy with sleepiness.” Aiden said, as he started caressing the smooth skin of his lover’s back.

The other hummed, made himself comfortable against his chest, circled his arm further around him, and finally closed his eyes, but not before playing a kiss on where his heart was.

“I love you, Weiden~” Edwin said giggling, calling him like the little boy had called him in his own adorable language.

“I love you too, bluewin.”
