Cured

Chapter 1

Whizzer was relaxing on the hospital bed, his eyes barely open as he watched the ceiling.

The same white ceiling he had been looking at for the past couple of weeks.

He turned his attention to the male sitting in a chair next to him, sleeping despite it was about 9 pm. “Marvin…” Whizzer quietly whispered.

Marvin stirred and sat up. “Hm..? Whizzer, you okay?” He asked, still half asleep. Whizzer smiled and placed a hand on Marvin's cheek.

“Yeah…I am…” Whizzer's voice was weak with a mixture of pain, grief, and just fatigue.

Marvin looked at the male's face and smiled a bit. He hated how Whizzer was suffering everyday- every moment- and he couldn't do anything.

His life had finally started to get better, at what cost though? Whizzer got sick and the doctors kept saying he's gonna pass away.

“Marv? What about you? Are you alright?” Whizzer asked,coughing slightly.

“Y-Yeah. I'm fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, Whizzer. Just relax please…”

Whizzer sighed and leaned back on the bed, resting his head against the white pillows.

White. It was all white. White bedding, white clothing, white rooms.

The doctor walked into the room and looked at Whizzer.

“Mr. Brown?” the doctor asked and Whizzer sat up and nodded.

“We got your blood test results back and we've got some…news….” The doctor said slowly.

The words made Marvin slouch back in his chair and looked at the doctor, worried. He was tired of hearing all of this bad news. He was tired of hearing how bad this man laying beside him was suffering.

Whizzer sighed and closed his eyes for a moment, only opening them when he was ready to speak. “Okay…What is it…?”

“We've never seen anything like this…”

“Just tell us the damn news.” Marvin growled at the doctor.

“Okay- okay, sorry. So…Whizzer's AIDS are disappearing. He's getting better.”

Marvin sat there, staring at the doctor as if he was lying.

“You're kidding…”

Whizzer looked between Marvin and the doctor. He didn't know what to believe.

“We don't know how it's happenin-”

“I don't care how it's happening! He's gonna get better!” Marvin got up and hugged Whizzer carefully, not wanting to hurt the frail boy.

Whizzer froze when he was hugged, he didn't know how to react to this news. After a moment, he quickly hugged Marvin back, tightly. Tears were starting to fall down his face.

“So, Whizzer can go home…but considering his current state, we wanna keep him over-night so we know he's okay and he's gonna have to come in for frequent check-ups until he's fully cured and healthy again.” The doctor explained to the two once Marvin pulled away from Whizzer and sat back down in his seat.

“A-Alright.. ” Marvin replied. He gently took Whizzer's hand into his own.

“So I suggest both of you guys get some sleep, I'll be back in the morning to check on you, Whizzer. Then you should be able to go home.”

“Okay…” This time Whizzer spoke. 

The doctor smiled, “You're doing well, kid, don't worry.” The doctor said and left the room.

Marvin brought Whizzer's hand to his lips kissed his boyfriend's knuckles.  He had a smile on his face as he looked at Whizzer.

“You're getting better...” He whispered happily.

Whizzer smiled widely and hugged Marvin again.

“You ready to go home in the morning?” Marvin asked him.

“Y-yes…” Whizzer whispered and placed his head on Marvin's shoulder.

Marvin was about to pull away when Whizzer tightened his grip around him a bit.

“Lay with me…?” He asked quietly.

Marvin smiled a bit, nodding slightly. He laid beside Whizzer, who wrapped his arms around him once again and rested his head on Marvin's chest.

“Thank you, Marv...” he whispered before drifting off to sleep. Marvin wrapped his arms around the sleeping male and played with his hair until he fell asleep.
