Hope couldn't believe that Alex was using a kiss to try and calm him down and get him to stop freaking out. It was like a weakness and it was working somewhat but he still cared too much for him and couldn't push away his worry for Alex. "It is something I have always done. Its just so much easier too because of how much I have screwed up. Look at everything I did. I caused." He said at almost a whisper. Hope have a halfway smile when he saw Alex smirk and ask if he needed to kiss him again to get him to shut up. "No. No you don't."<br/><br/>Hope leaned in and gave him a delicate kiss, barely touching his lips but the feeling of it was passionate. As if you could tell all of his concern and worry in the action. "I know. I just don't see why he wants me so badly. I am not all that special. I am broken goods. Why does he want to break me more?" The tone of hurt was ever present in his tone, as if was written all over his face. Hope wanted to know that his love for him was sincere that it was real not some Stockholme syndrome or just because Alex was actually treating him decent. "You may need a couple stitches.."<br/><br/>Hope couldn't take his eyes off of the bullet hole wound. It made his chest throb and hurt knowing that he was perfectly fine before this and because of something he asked for he now wasn't. Hope didn't think he was going out of his way being sweet to Alex, it was a natural reaction to him like it came out of him naturally. "Alright, I'm sorry." He said with a cute nod as he focused on getting him to a doctor. As he felt Alex kiss his hand he couldn't help but grin and place his head on Alex's head. "Alex my love for you still isn't enough. You deserve the greatest love in all the planets. The moons and stars."<br/><br/>Hope took a hold of Alex's hand and pressed it to his lips keeping it there for several minutes. "But I will love you as much as I humanly can. No matter what it will take." Hope noticed they were pulling up to the house and they got upstairs after Jamie parked the car in the garage and helped Alex out of the car into the elevator. Dr. Grey was waiting for them and he observed he had everything ready. Alex held out his arm and he was quickly patched up, he didn't even need stitches like he had thought. "Hope could I talk to you about something?" Doctor Grey had asked him with a curious tone. Alex had talked to him in private about something and he had a faint idea on what it was about. "Sure doc, what is it?"<br/><br/>Dr. Grey scratched his head and cleared his throat. "Would you say that your anxiety is bothering you?" Hope sighed and just shrugged. "I dunno maybe?" He looked over at Alex while the Doctor just nodded. "I am going to try you out on sertraline. More commonly known as Zoloft. It will help you with your anxiety and PTSD." Hope nodded as Dr. Grey handed over a bottle of it to Alex and him a pill. "Take it now, sounds like you need a chill pill." Hope did so quickly swallowing it without any drink. Dr. Grey placed his hand on Hope's shoulder and said firmly. "Alex is just fine. Just a surface scratch. He is a strong man Hope, a man that vowed to protect you no matter what. Don't you worry about him. Like I said day one. You are in great hands."<br/><br/>Hope nodded while looking at Alex. "I know I am. Thank you Dr. Grey." He smirked as he turned towards the door. "Hopefully I won't be back too soon, everyone needs to stop having crisis'. Good day gentleman." Hope moved over to Alex who was in the chair where Dr. Grey had him sit to get bandaged up and curled up in his lap. "You were right. I am sorry I freaked out, I just couldn't help seeing you hurt. It tore me up inside. That's how much I care about you Alex."
