Let Me Be The One To Save You

Venus P.O.V I wake up to see Gerard asleep on the couch in front of me. As great as that is, I need to use the bathroom. But I can't get off the couch without disturbing him. I lean forward and kiss him. He wraps his arm around me and kisses back. "Hey, baby." He says, sleepily. "Hey, yourself." I say back, smiling. "How long have you been back?" He turns to look at the clock. "It's nine pm." He mutters. "I got in at bout six pm. So that's...Who cares. I'm too tired to work it out." I laugh. "It's not hard." I tell him as he grins back at me. "Three hours then." "That long?" He mocks surprise. "It seems like three minutes since I cuddled up to you." I smile. "I'm glad you did." I tell him."I missed you." He kisses my nose. "I'm going on tour soon." He informed me. "Come with me?" I shake my head, sadly. "How can I?" I sigh. "I can't walk, remember." "It's okay, baby. I'll make sure we have a bus adapted for you. And any hotels we go to will have to be wheelchair friendly too." "I have to keep up with my physio." "We'll hire a doctor to travel with us." He was certainly persistent. "I would be too much of a burden." I protested. "You need to concentrate on the shows, not me." "You will NEVER be a burden to me." He stated. "And I can concentrate on both you and the shows. I'm not taking no for a answer." I sighed. "Fine." I said. "I'll go on one condition." He smiles. "What's that, baby?" "You move so I can get to the bathroom before I have a accident." He laughed as he got up and picked me up, heading to the wheelchair. Gerard's P.O.V I smiled as Vee wheeled herself into our bathroom. Then I changed for bed. Just down to my boxers. Vee comes out the bathroom just as I'm pulling on my pj bottoms. I pull the covers back and move to give her room. She puts the brakes on the wheelchair then drags herself onto the bed. She shuffles onto her back and grabs her legs, one by one, onto the bed. I climb in next to her and pull the covers over us.

"What time is the physiotherapist due tomorrow?" I asked as I drag her into my arms.

"Eleven." She said, sleepily.

"I'm taking the day off." I said. "I'm going to spend it with you."

"I'd like that." She whispered, drifting to sleep.

"I love you, baby." I said, kissing her head.

"Love you too."
