Comfort - Love In The Air Oneshots

Already Proud - PhayuRain (2)

Even though he was acting calm, he was drowning in worry inside and his hands were slightly trembling. He hurried as much as he could to get him to it and upon his arrival he let a doctor know about it, thus placing Rain in their care as he was left in the waiting room. He called Sky too, who was going to join them after Prapai got home from work.

A few minutes later Rain's parents and Saifah arrived, all of them concerned, though each on a different level. They also sat down with the long black haired man and waited for the doctors to come back and let them know about Rain's situation.

"What happened to our son, Phayu?" asked Rain's mother, who was holding onto the hand of her husband.

"When I got home, I found him on the ground passed out," explained the young man as he played with his fingers to calm himself down. "He had been neglecting his health for a while, only focusing on his studies. We all tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen to us at all."

"This stubborn boy...We told him to not push himself too much because he is already doing a great job and he has become a lot more responsible..."

Phayu couldn't help but look down and bite on his lip, feeling guilty for not having really done that much to stop Rain.

"I'm sorry. I should have done a better job at trying to stop him and watch over him."

"Phayu, it's not your fault," quickly replied Saifah. "We already know how stubborn Rain can be, so unless something happened he wouldn't probably have stopped."

"Still, I live with him, so I should have done more..."

"Son, stop blaming yourself. Your brother is right. Don't feel like it was your fault that our son did such a reckless thing." said Rain's father as he placed a hand around the man's shoulders.

Phayu tried to listen to them, though it was probably going to be hard not blaming himself for it.

After some minutes, the doctor came back and the four of them quickly stood up. They quickly prayed that nothing would be severe enough to be life threatening before listening to the doctor.

"He was very dehydrated and starved, so we had to give him an IV to stop his state from deteriorating any further. Apart from that, he is not in danger and he will probably regain consciousness as soon as everything we gave him starts taking effect."

They collectively let out a sigh of relief and felt their bodies relaxing more, now sure that Rain was going to be okay.

"Can we see him, doctor?" asked Phayu, who was barely able to keep himself from moving.

"Of course. I will lead you to the room he is in."

They followed him into an elevator that stopped when they reached the second floor. Then, they were pointed in the direction of a room and they went through it, finding the boy laying on the bed with a couple of tubes attached to him. Phayu quickly sat down on the couch next to the bed, sitting closest to his boyfriend and taking his hand into his. All his anxiety seemed to vanish as he caressed it. His boyfriend was there and he was going to be okay, so he could relax.

Prapai and Sky soon joined them, and even though they were already aware that Rain's condition wasn't bad, Sky didn't seem to be able to calm down. When he sat down in between Prapai and Rain's father, he couldn't help but look down and play with his fingers.

"I'm sorry," he voiced, making all of them turn to him right away. "I should have done more to stop Rain."

"You too?" jumped Rain's mother, who was not fond of people feeling guilty for her son's reckless behavior that wouldn't really stop at almost anything. "Don't feel guilty, you hear? Our son wasn't going to stop at anything because he is that stubborn, so it was none of you guys' fault!"

Prapai pressed Sky closer to him and caressed his hair to reassure him. Sky gave into his boyfriend's touch, trying to focus on it instead of listening to the voice in his head telling him that he was to blame.

"She is right. It wasn't your fault, nor anyone else's fault. Don't blame yourself, Sky. You tried your best to stop him so you are not to blame that he ended up pushing himself too far."

Sky didn't seem that convinced but he decided to trust Prapai's words instead of trusting that voice who was always trying to make him feel bad. He leaned onto Prapai, who held him tight as he kept soothing him.

All their attention was suddenly directed to the boy laying on the bed, who began to stir. His eyes slowly opened, trying to adjust to the light in the room before he moved his gaze towards the people who were sitting next to him.

"Hey..."
