Request - Tk dies in Carlos's arms

Tk had been living with Huntington's disease for a while now - it had affected both of their lives
But without a doubt, Carlos loved Tk through it until the very end

Tk's disease had progressed quite rapidly in the past few years

It started with little tremors mostly in his hands
Then progressed to his balance

He was forced to stop working which killed Tk he was meant to save people and now that was ripped away from him

He then started losing his memory and often had a hard time remembering people's names ,birthday's, and anniversary

It got to the point where he couldn't even remember who Carlos was sometimes who he even was -

Of course, Tk didn't know this but Carlos did it killed him it hurt to have to remind his husband every morning of who he was because Tk had no memory of who he was

Tk had a hard time speaking his words became jumbled until he eventually stopped speaking together

It eventually got to the point where Carlos had got Tk a nurse to stay with him most days while he was on shift

Tk's health was deteriorating quickly to

Tk was entering what his doctor called "the final stages "

Carlos stood by watching as Tk's nurse Linda did the final checks before Carlos took over "he will be okay ." Linda said removing her gloves and giving Carlos a small smile

"He's comfortable for now I'll be back tomorrow to keep him company.." Linda said as she dried her hands

"Linda ?" Carlos said as he looked over in Tk's direction he looked empty he looked almost as if he was already dead the Tk he knew was gone

The Tk he knew was funny, energetic, emotional, caring, and lively. The Tk he knew left his soul was gone his body was just hanging on.

" do you think he'll make it through the night ?" Carlos asked when they last saw Tk's doctor he also mentioned that Tk didn't have much time left and that it could be any day now that Tk finally moved on into the afterlife

" honestly... He's barely hanging on - Tk he's suffering he wants to let go... I think there's a small part of him left in there that is holding on for you " she said softly

" I think you need to let him go," Linda said before hugging Carlos softly

After Linda left Carlos collected himself in the kitchen he knew deep down that tks day was coming

And he hated that Tk was in pain he looked so empty and tired his skin barely had a tint anymore he was dying and if there was a small part of Tk left in his body that was only hanging on for Carlos he needed him to know that it was okay

"I need you to know that it's okay.." Carlos said softly running his hands through tks soft hair " You can go with your mom now - she misses you ." Carlos said softly "Her and my dad - they will take care of you okay ." Carlos cried " I'm gonna be okay - so you can go now.." Carlos kissed tks head "We have so many friends who are gonna take care of us ." Carlos said as Buttercup whined at tks feet buttercup was sad to it hurt Buttercup just as much as it hurt Carlos

Tk was always his favorite and Tk was slipping away and the poor dog knew it

" it's okay boy ." Carlos sighed wiping his tears
" Tk's gonna be okay," Carlos said
petting the dog's head

Carlos kissed tks head as tks eyes kept fading in and out " I love you so much.." Carlos cried " your the best person I've ever known ." Carlos said buttercup laid his head on top of tks feet and whimpered softly tks eyes had closed Carlos took his fingers to tks wrist to feel for a pulse

Nothing

Tk was gone he finally let go
