"I-Is... Is he going to be alright?"

There was silence for a brief moment, the only thing you could hear was the heart monitor making slight indications that there was a pulse. "I believe so, but there's a chance he may not make it out alive."

Tears ran down the cheeks of the Canadian. He sobbed into the palm of his hands and leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. The doctor had just given him news he didn't want to hear...ever. His beloved fiancé, Anthony Chaos, was in a deep coma due to a car crash he was in. To make it all even worse than it already is, he was under the influence when this happened; alcohol did this to him.

"A-Anthony...! Please co-come back to me, d-don't you d-d-dare try to leave m-me now! We w-were a-about to g-get m-married!" He cried out in desperation.

The doctor watched the poor man ball his eyes out and cry over his fiancé. He knew that there was a 90% chance Anthony wouldn't wake up anytime soon, and that would result in Steven having to pull the plug. The medical support Anthony was currently receiving would never help wake him up, it would only help keep him alive and breathing.

Waking up may not be an option at this point.

He cleared his throat, "Mr. Viking...?" The doctor proceeded.

"Mr. Chaos." He corrected coldly.

The doctor nodded his head in apology, "My apologies... Mr. Chaos?" He tried once more.

Steven smiled at this. He just loved the way Mr. Chaos rolled off of people's tongues. He felt like he was literally apart of Chilled now...like they should be.

"...yes?" He asked.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "You have five more minutes." The doctor concluded.

The door opened and closed as swiftly as the doctor has said that. Steven's eyes were wide in shock. Was he really being told he has to leave in a matter of minutes? His fiancé was dying before his very eyes! Steven slammed his hand against the wall and cursed softly under his breath. Tears once again brimmed the corner of his eyes. He hung his head, covering his eyes as he let out a sob or two. His tears glided slowly down his cheeks, dripping onto the hospital floor one by one.

"W-What am I-I g-going to do...?"

[ Next Day ]

After leaving the hospital when his five minute time limit hit zero, Ze had gone home and cried himself to sleep without the warmth of Anthony for once. That was the only thing he could think of... Chilled; his lover.

His fiancé who was in a coma.

Ze rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, yawning as he rushed out the house and into his car. He was going to visit Chilled. Who knows if the Doctors would allow him to see Chilled, though. They did say that he was in no condition whatsoever to have people visiting him on a daily basis. Especially if they were like Ze, throwing tantrums because he wasn't allowed to see Chilled. Ze had to admit it, he acted like an absolute child with the doctors, but that was only because he really wanted to see Chilled. After all, the doctors themselves stated that there was a big chance of Chilled not making it out of the coma he was stuck in. A 90% chance was horrible, Ze didn't want to hear that. He wanted to hear that Chilled was going to make it out alive.

How did they expect him to pull the plug right before they were going to get married? Pulling the plug wasn't something easy to do... Ze bit his lip roughly as he drove to the hospital. All these thoughts were pushing him over the edge. This was becoming too stressful for him and it has only been a day since the incident. Who knew how much longer he could go on like this.

Ze gulped and pushed down on the breaks at the sign of a red light, he took this moment to rest his head on the steering wheel.

"Chilled, I love you... I love you so damn much, so don't leave me... Please." Ze muttered desperately.

The car behind him honked their horn and Ze's head shot up. He quickly drove forward while sticking his hand out of his car to show that he was sorry. Ze sighed and he grumbled under his breath, cursing people and their impatience. Ze parked the car in the hospital's parking lot and he hurriedly made his way out of his car and into the hospital. Pushing through the doors, Ze ran up to the reception desk and he smiled at the lady who sat behind the desk.

"Hello, sir." She greeted him, "How may I help you?"

Ze smiled, "I need to see Chill- I mean, Anthony Chaos please." He corrected himself.

The lady nodded, "Are you related to him?" She asked.

Ze frowned, "Uh... N-No..." He answered truthfully.

She frowned, "Then I cannot allow you to visit Mr. Chaos." She said.

Ze gulped, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"I'm his husband..."

The lady's eyes widened and she gasped. She was suspicious, but by the way he was biting at his lip and holding back tears she knew he wasn't lying.

"O-Oh, my apologies then, Mr. Chaos. You're husband is in room A222. He's just down this hall to the very right." She said.

Ze smiled. He was very grateful that she didn't question him. Immediately, Ze sped down the hall and stopped right in front of Chilled's door. He grinned and reached out for the doorknob. However, he stopped when he heard a familiar voice.

"There's nothing we can do but tell Mr. Chaos that his husband is on his deathbed. He isn't going to make it, we all know that for a fact, don't we? The only way he would be able to live is with some serious amount of blood to keep him going. In order to give him blood, however... That's putting another life at risk."

"The donor has a chance of dying."

Ze froze. He knew what he had to do because of this.

"But who in the world would donate blood with such a high chance of dying, doctor?"

Ze bit his lip and hung his head. He sniffled, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.

"I... I don't know who would do such a thing with a risk that high."

Tears dripped down his cheeks at the words he was hearing. These were words of hope.

"I guess we'll have to wait and see."

He was going to risk his life for Chilled. Even if it meant he had to risk his life. Chilled was his soulmate and he couldn't just stand there and watch him die. He would die trying to save his life.

This was Chilled's only hope of survival.

And it was Ze's death.
