Chapter Text
"Oh for fuck sake Anders" Mitchell moaned as he wiped the dribble off his shirt "Will you stop bloody dribbling!?"
"Whaaa"
"You bloody fell asleep on me and you dribbled again"
"Oh sorry" Anders said as he got up.
"Anyway babe, how'd you feel?"
"I'm fine" Anders replied bluntly
"You sure?" Michell asked with a hint of worry in his voice
"Yeah, I'm fine Mitchell, just leave it!" Anders' voice got louder as he replied.
"Okay, I'm just worried about you"
"Well don't be I'm fine. Anyway it's 9, I've got to go to work and so do you"
Anders walked into their bedroom, got ready and went out of the door within 5 minutes, leaving Mitchell without a goodbye and slammed the front door.
"What the hell was that all about?" Mitchell muttered to himself. He got up and dressed then left for work.
"Mitchell!"
"Urm yeah." Mitchell stopped day dreaming and looked up at Michele.
"I won't say it again, can you go and put some new bed sheets on Mr Turner bed, he's wet the bed again."
"Yeah sure, I'll do it now."
"Mitchell? Are you alright?"
"Urm yeah I'm fine."
"No you're not, whats wrong? Did Anders make you do some disgusting activitey last night?"
"No! He did not and anyway it was nothing at all in that kind of thing. He was acting a bit strange this morning that's all"
"Anders is always acting strange"
"Michele, he was different this morning"
"How so?" Michele said trying not to care.
"He woke up, I aksed him if he was okay from the other night, he said he was fine, then he got dressed and stormed out"
"Well you can hardly blame him, after the events of the other day."
"I suppose but he never talks to me about anything"
"Well maybe you should talk to him."
"I will, thanks Michele."
"Now go and change Mr Turner's sheets"
"Uh hu" Mitchell repied.
About an hour later Mitchell recieved a text from Dawn.
is everything okay between you and Anders? xxx
Mitchell replied.
yeah, why'd you ask? is he okay?
She replied instantly.
Come by and take a look for yourself xxx
Earlier that day...
As soon as Anders arrived into work, he told Dawn he didn't want to be disturbed and to just get on with anything she wanted to do.
She asked no questions why Anders was in so early but she just left him alone, just as he had asked. So she just went on with her daily tasks.
It was about lunchtime when she asked him if he wanted her to bring him something back. He asked for a coffee and that was it. When she returned, he was on the desk with his head down. As she walked up to the desk, she saw that Anders was infact asleep but also that his papers were wet and around his eyes were red and puffy.
"Anders?" Dawn asked.
"Wha?" Anders wiped his eyes with his sleep as he woke up "Oh you're back, did you bring me my coffee?"
"Yeah, here you go" She said a she placed his coffee oo the glass table "Is everything alright Anders?"
"Everything is fine, just go back to work"
"Okay" Dawn said as she went back to her desk. She then got out of her phone and decided to text Mitchell. She had gotten quite close to Mitchell in the last month that she had know him. So if she wanted to know if Anders was alright, Mitchell was the person to ask.
As soon as Mitchell got off work he went straight to Anders' workplace. He opened the door but before he could speak to Dawn, she put her fingers on her lips.
"Shh, Anders is asleep" Dawn wispered
Mitchell peered at the sleeping Anders. "Oh, is he okay?"
"Thats what I want to know" Dawn replied "Has anything happen?"
"Urm some stuff happened the other night but he said he was fine"
"Maybe you should go talk to him, he's been acting weird all day"
"I will, you can go if you want, I want to take him home"
"Yeah sure, let me know what happens yeah?"
"Yeah, see you later Dawn"
As Dawn left, Mitchell went over to the sofa and bent down to Anders.
"Hey Anders"
"Huh" Yawned Anders "Oh hey"
"Anders is everything okay? And before you answer please don't tell me you're fine because you're obviously not."
"Okay maybe I'm not fine but you wouldn't to hear it"
"Anders you're my boyfriend of course I want to hear it"
"Fine, it's about the other night" Anders sighed.
"Go on"
"Well those three women were ex one night stands, well one of them was a three night but that doesn't matter"
"Is that whats been bugging you?"
"Yeah, what they were going to do to me was understandable but it hurt because it reminded me what I used to do before I met you and I didn't want to be reminded because I've got you now and everthing is starting to get better and then that happened and then it reminded me I could loose you because I'm a terrible person and and and...." At that poiny Anders burst into tears and fell in to Mitchells arms.
"Oh babe, is this really whats been on your mind" Mitchell asked "Babe, I have no plans on going anywhere, I love you too much for that, I don't care about all the things you did before us"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm possitve hun, this is a silly things to go all wimpy about, now dry your eyes and we can forget about all of this okay?"
"Uh hu"
"Right lets go home"
"Anders nodded his head. He gots his things and they headed out to his car. As soon as they got home they both fell into bed, cuddling and soon after fell alseep.
The last thought that popped into Anders' head was that maybe everything would be okay after all.
