A New Life

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt smiled softly as the other helped him stand and dried him off. The blonde nuzzled into Adam's chest as he was being carried towards their bed, keeping the soft smile on his face. Once they were both on the bed, Matthew snuggled close to the other and buried his face into Adam's neck. In a few minutes, the slim male was asleep, a calm expression on his face. Soft mumbles about loving, modeling and chocolate escaped from his lips time at a time. Matt really was a big kid if you got to know him better...

[tuti]

The bright ray of sunlight coming through the slightly open curtains came into the room and hit Adam right on the face waking him up. He groaned at the feeling of something heavy on top of him, he was about to push whatever it was away but instead he smiled at the sight. Matt was deeply asleep on top of him, somehow during the night the man had ended in that position. Adam stared at Matt's beautiful peaceful face before glancing at the clock. It was 11:30 am still not noon. He knew Matt would very likely have his head if he woke him up before that time but he couldn't help himself as he leaning forward to brush his lips against Matt's

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt let out a soft groan and turned a little bit, resulting with him falling back on the bed with a slightly pained gasp. "Mm... Ooouch.." He hissed out while rubbing his abdomen with one hand. The blonde blinked sleepily and turned to the warm object that was behind him. "...So... It wasn't a dream..." He muttered out to himself and closed his eyes again. "A hangover isn't supposed to give me a stomach aaache..." He complained softly while snuggling closer to the other. "My throat is dry, my head hurts and I think I'm too lazy to stand uuup..." Matt said lazily and put his head on the other's chest. "Ugh, I'm never drinking again..."

[tuti]

A chuckle escape Adam's lips hiding his feelings of insecurity. For moment there he thought that Matt would call what they did last night a mistake and blame it on the alcohol. But then he smile was replaced with a concern frown. "You do feel a bit hot." He said placing the back of his hand against Matt's relatively hot forehead. "I think you have a cold or something." He said concern evident in his voice.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt let out a sigh and closed his eyes. "But I have a photoshooot..." He groaned out softly and nuzzled into the other's chest. "I'll have to pull through today anyway..." He mumbled under his nose and rubbed his eyes slightly. He didn't want to bring up what happened yesterday until Adam did, yet he had to ask for at least one thing. "Adam... What happened yesterday..." He started softly and let out a small sigh while looking away. "Did you do it only because of alcohol?" He asked quietly while looking away from the other. What if he gacve up his virginity for a one night stand? What if his friendship with Adam would be completely over because of that?

[tuti]

Adam couldn't help sigh, he knew this moment was to come sooner than later. He shifted into a sitting position and held Matt's right hand in his. "I'd be lying if I say the alcohol has nothing to do with it." He said honestly, he was a person that hated being lied to so he always, in return, always spoke the truth. "But believe me when I say that what happened between us felt right." He felt a connection with Matt that he had never felt before, of course, he wasn't ready to jump and call it love. But could anyone blame him for wanting to make this thing, whatever it was, work? "If you are okay, I'd like to see what this may lead us too." He said, for the first time in years, putting his heart out and vulnerable.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt sniffled softly and looked away when he heard the first words. Somehow, they stung more than he thought... Yet when he listened to Adam continuing to talk, he could feel hope appearing. "Of course I'd be okay with it! Just... Uhh... My manager..." He seemed very excited at first, yet once he realized that this may be a not-so-good thing for his reputation, he bit his lip. "I mean, I have my own fans, and if they really don't like it, my reputation's gonna drop big time... I could even end up without a job at all, and... And I love modelling, I don't want to stop!" The blonde said while gripping onto the taller male's hand. "I don't know what should I do... C-Could you wait until I think it over?" He asked with pleading eyes. He didn't want for Adam to think that he didn't want to do anything like that, he was just a bit confused!

[tuti]

Adam smiled a smile that really didn't reach his eyes, what was he expecting? Of course this kind of relationship would directly affect Matt's job and social life. He understood, despite the strange heavy feeling it caused in his chest. "Of course I understand." He said before giving Matt a small peck on the lips. He didn't want the other to notice his disappointment. He then patted Matt's hand and got out of bed. "I'll make you some soup, you'll need it if you are still going to work feeling like that." He said as if they just hadn't has serious conversation. The dark haired mailed pulled his pants on and walked to kitchen to see if Matt had anything he could use for a homemade soup.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt watched as the other walked off with his eyes visibly saddening. "Adaam... I'm sorry..." He said quietly while turning on his side. The blonde let out a small sigh and looked at his friend with a frown on his face. "I think I have some soup from yesterday in the fridge... Could you heat it up for me?" He asked softly while pulling the covers on. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he watched the taller male walk around. He reached out to grab his glasses and put them on, finally feeling able to see everything. "It's on the top shelf in the fridge." He said while slowly sitting up, keeping the covers all over his body. The pain in his abdomen wasn't going anywhere... Maybe he should get some medicine?

[tuti]

Adam nodded as he kept his back to the other male. Somehow he couldn't face him now, not until he schooled his expression, the situation was so awkward he couldn't help crave for a smoke. He found said soup and started heating it up. He found some frozen vegetables in the fridge. After he washed and cut them, he added them to the soup. He had offered a homemade soup, but it was a good thing he didn't had to start from scratch. His cooking skills weren't very admirable.

 

After a bit of stirring and some, the soup was ready. He walked back towards the bed, carrying the soup on a tray. "Be careful, it's still a bit hot." He said and sat down in front of Matt. "Why don't you go see a doctor?" He suggested as he placed the back of his hand against Matt's forehead once again and frowned, it was clear that Matt was coming down with a fever.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt smiled softly and gladly took the bowl. "Thanks~" He smiled and leaned back against the pillow, closing his eyes for a while. "A doctor?... Only if you go with me." He mumbled out and looked away, a rosy blush appearing on his cheeks. He never liked doctors, in fact he was scared of them as a child! He could still remember how his parents had to drag him to a doctor if he got sick, or how they would bribe him with sweets... Now no one would even bother with things like that!

 

The shorter male let out a small sigh while taking a spoon. Slowly, he began eating the soup, enjoying the feeling of the meal warming him up at least slightly. He smiled as he continued to eat, his golden eyes closing up again. The blonde was finished rather quickly as he licked his lips. "Thank you~" He thanksed with a smile and looked at the other. "Could you get me some painkillers?.. They should be in the third drawer of the cabinet to the right of the table." He said softly while putting the bowl away.

[tuti]

Adam took the empty bowl as he stood up and wondered if he should have at least tried to make more. But for Matt's health sake he decided not to. After placing the bowl in sink, making a mental note to wash it later, he did as he was told and grabbed the pain killers. "I don't mind going to the doctor with you. How long will the shooting take? We could go after that if you are still not feeling well." He said as he brought a glass of water with the painkillers. He didn't had to go to work today so he free to do whatever and what not.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

"It shouldn't take longer than two hours... Thanks, Adam." He said softly while taking the glass of water and the painkillers from the other. The blonde drank it immediately, closing his eyes while letting out a soft sigh. "No, make it at least three hours... I'll still have to get my clothing and make-up." He said with a small frown and streched. "Ahh, I wish I could stay home today..." He yawned and looked at the other. "You'll go home today anyway, right?" He asked while secretly hoping the other would stay with him for another night. Waking up with someone next to you was a really nice feeling..

[tuti]

Adam folded his arms over his exposed chest and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be off once you leave for work." No point in staying here, he thought, silently craving for a smoke. "I still think you can call and cancel today's shooting and go see a doctor instead." He said as he looked for his discarded shirt, once he found it he got dressed. "I think they'd understand. But if you do decide to go to the doctor once you are done for the day, you'll give me a call right?" He asked placing his hands on his hips. He was really concern for Matt, it was strange that he himself wasn't feeling sick even though they had spent the night together. Wasn't he supposed to catch it as well?

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt shook his head and let out a soft sigh. "I really don't want to call off the shooting... This one's pretty important, if I miss it my manager's gonna get real mad!" He said with a visible frown on his face. "I'll call you when I'm done..." He muttered out softly and sighed softly while lightly rubbing his abdomen. "I don't get this at all..." He muttered out to himself before letting out a soft sigh. He glanced around the room and let out a nervous chuckle. "Could you pass me a pair of boxers? They're right there." He said with a soft blush on his face while pointing to the cabinet where they were.

[tuti]

Adam sighed, not really understanding why Matt couldn't simply call in sick. But then again, he himself wouldn't think about his own health if he had to reach a deadline for his projects. Nevertheless, he did as told and handed Matt a pair of clean boxers. "Do you need anything else? Are you still hungry?" He asked sitting back on the bed. "I could go and buy you something at that store around the corner." He offered.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt shook his head with a smile and looked at the other. "Nah, I'm good~ If anything, I can find something in the fridge~" He grinned while putting on the boxers. The blonde streched and smiled to Adam. "Thanks for not disappearing in the morning..." He thanks quietly and reached out to peck the taller male's cheek.

The blonde rubbed his eyes tiredly after the last shot was taken, one hand wrapped around his abdomen. He sighed softly while slowly walking to change back into his clothes as his manager looked at him worriedly. "Matthew, you okay?" She asked while going to him. The mentioned man smiled and nodded. "Yeah, just a little stomach pain~" He said and turned back to walk into his dressing room, taking his phone. He dialed Adam's number while sitting down on a chair. "Hey, Adam... The photoshoot's done now, could you come and pick me up?" He asked while sounding a bit tired.

[tuti]

Adam was stretched on his couch watching a movie when he heard his cellphone ring. The screaming device was on the small coffee table next to the ashtray. He moved to a sitting position and picked it up, smiling instantly at the caller ID. "Hey." He said and his smile slowly fell and was replaced with concern as he heard Matt talk from the other end of the line. He sounded tired, exhausted. "I'm on my way." He said without a single second of hesitation. He grabbed a jacket and his car keys. He had picked up his black SUV from the bar earlier that day.

 

He made it to the agency in record time and walked into the reception area nodding at the people greeting him on his way. He saw Matt waiting for him and the sight of the man made his heart drop all the way to his stomach, he looked really sick. "Hey, you don't look so good." He said placing a hand on the man's shoulder. "Come, I'm taking you to the doctor right now." He said and frowned as he felt how hot Matt's skin felt against his fingers. The man was on fire.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt smiled when he heard the answer, "Thanks, really..." He answered softly and ended the call to get changed into his everyday clothes. The blonde sighed softly when he glanced at the mirror. He looked completely horrible! He frowned and lightly trailed a finger over the dark circles under his eyes. He hated these nasty things... They were hard to hide even with make-up!

 

The golden-eyed male was ready in a while and walked over to wait for Adam, his bag flung over his shoulder. He lightly rubbed his neck and yawnedm he was feeling tired after merely one day... What in the world was happening to him? Matt's cheeks were slightly flushed as he saw Adam, trying his best to squeeze out a smile. "Hey~" He answered and blinked a few times while letting out a sigh. "Alright, alright..." He answered and followed the brunette to his car. Matt lightly shook his head to shake away the diziness. He could feel that the fever only rose up through the day..

[tuti]

They drove in silence except for the soft humming of the car. The frown Adam's face only deepened as he saw the state Matt was in. He was no doctor but this didn't look like a normal flu. They reached the hospital and after killing the engine in the parking lot, Adam helped Matt out of the car and into the building. "Sit here, I'll go look for the doctor." He said helping his friend sit in the waiting area and left in search for a medic. It seemed to be a quite day because he found the doctor immediately and the man was free to take a look at Matt.

 

"I see, come with me. We'll have to make some test, to know what he has." The white haired doctor said and the young nurse guided Matt towards a room. And just like that, they left to make their test leaving Adam alone in the waiting room, he only hoped it wasn't something serious.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt was trying his best to keep his head up through the drive. What he wanted the most right now was to get back into his comfy bed and sleep for a very long time... When the car stopped, he blinked his eyes open and held onto Adam while getting out of the car. “I feel dizzy...“ He muttered out softly while walking towards the hospital. He gladly sat down when the other told him to and nodded at his words. “Okaay...“

 

When the young nurse walked up to him, the blonde smiled and stood up, slowly following the girl. Everything seemed too messed up for him to understand anymore... When they finally reached the room, Matt let out a sigh and let the doctors do what they had to do as he drifted off into a quiet place in his mind.

 

After quite some time, a doctor walked over to Adam while a bit nervously fixing up his glasses. “We have the results... They're quite... Shocking.“

[tuti]

Adam felt the world crumble at his feet at the sound of those words. He hoped it that whatever was causing Matt's illness wasn't something serious, but it seemed that his prayers weren't heard. He suddenly thought that he had infected Matt with HIV, remembering the broken condom. But he soon threw that ridiculous idea away, he knew he was clean. He tested himself regularly and he hadn't been with anyone for the past two months. A part of him wanted to know what the problem was, but the other was to scare of what he'd hear.

 

"We first thought he had some very serious case of food poisoning." The elderly doctor said placing his glasses back on. "So we made some blood tests and scans and well...how to say this..." The man trailed off making Adam lose the little patience he had. Fear and nervousness taking the best of him. "What is it doctor?" He pressed on.

 

With a sigh and a shake of his head the man went on. "It seems, for some reason we can't yet seem to understand, his stomachaches and fever are because of the some changes his body went through in past hours." Adam frowned not really understanding but the doctor kept on talking. "His body had created womb just like a woman's and it seems, it seems...it seems that he's pregnant."

 

Adam blinked at the shorter man, his brain processing what he just said. The sound of laughter filled the empty room and it only stopped when Adam realized he was the one laughing. "What's the meaning of this? Are you for real? That's impossible!" Adam yelled his fears suddenly turned into rage at the joke the doctor seemed to try to pull on him. The old man shook his head sadly. "I wish this was a joke, but it's true, the man is pregnant. The fetus is still small but it's there. How was this possible, is beyond me." Adam shook his head suddenly dizzy and sat down.This couldn't be happening, he couldn't believe this...how?!

 

He looked up at the doctor. "Does he, does he know?" He asked, his voice almost a whisper. The man shook his head and told him he probably needed someone for support to take the news. Adam didn't whether he was the right person but nodded and walked into the room where Matt was.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt rubbed his eyes tiredly as he rested in the hospital bed. He covered a yawn and closed his eyes, thinking that maybe he'd be able to go to sleep for now... The doctors ran countless tests on him, he saw their confused and worried expressions, yet why in the world wouldn't anybody tell him what was wrong? Was it something that could kill him? He had to know even if that was the case...

 

The sound of opening doors caught his attention and the blonde turned towards the one who entered his room. He was hoping for another doctor, but the sight of Adam made him smile softly. "Hey..." He said softly, both his voice and eyes seeming tired. "Maybe you know if I can go home already? They probably made whatever tests were possible already... I miss my bed!" The golden-eyed male said with a small pout and yawned softly as he waited for his answer.

[tuti]

Adam tried to smile back but he couldn't, how was he supposed to tell him the bizarre news? He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and decided to tell him anyways and expect the best of reactions. "Hmm, Matt, baby, they found what's wrong with you." He began, never in his life had he ever felt this nervous. "It seems that, the reason why you are feeling sick is because...you are pregnant." He heard himself saying it, but he still couldn't believe it.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Matt blinked a few times and raised his eyebrows before letting out a soft laugh. "Yeah, very funny. So what is it really?" He asked while locking up his golden eyes onto the other. His expression slowly turned into a shocked one and he bit his lip while looking at Adam. "You're just joking... I-I'm a guy, I can't be pregnant! Adam, tell me what's wrong with me!!!" He nearly started shouting at the end, feeling both frustrated and scared. He couldn't possibly be pregnant...
