《Infinity || Dan Smith》Fifty-Three.

When Dan gets back to the private hospital Charlie's chemo has already been set up so he doesn't need a mask. Instead he walks into a room braving a loving smile, although he's still traumatised by the 'talk' he had with his mother and sister.

"What took you so long?" Charlie asks while her nurse, who was giving her company, walks out of the room with a supportive smile tattooed onto her face.

"N-nothing..." Dan stutters while Charlie points at her boyfriend.

"I know when there's something wrong." Charlie's in a good mood today, she had a gentle nurse this time and she knew what she was expecting so it hurt less. But she can slowly feel herself gradually become tired.

"But what if I told you that you're wrong...because nothing's wrong." Dan then smiles, but of course Charlie narrows her eyes and tilts her head to the space in the bed besides her.

"I'm never wrong." Dan throws his eyes backward while he sits bedsides Charlie. He wants to tell her the truth, but he's scared that she'll disown him. Charlie clearly means everything to Dan, she's his daughters mother and his lover. He'll do anything and everything for her if he could, even if it means taking away her illness.

"Tell me." Charlie says while she strokes Dan's cheek with the arm that isn't attached to the drip.

"Just the past coming up again and biting me in the arse." Charlie rolls her eyes backwards.

"Now you know how I feel when you go on about your chocolate days." Both Dan and Charlie laugh at the thought of Dan's sob story.

"Sorry..." his voice trails off whilst blushing a very light shade of pink in his puffy cheeks.

"When's the last time you ate?" Because of the chemotherapy, Charlie lately hasn't been eating anything at all. Her appetite is gone and she's...wasting away. Not that she'd admit it though.

"Are you seriously judging me for not eating?" Dan leans on his side while Charlie throws the duvet over him. Although Dan isn't feeling the cold like Charlie is.

"One of us needs to stay strong for Lacey, I mean...you kinda look like a giraffe right now." Dan nods his head. He'll do anything for her...when if it's putting on a bit of winter weight.

Charlie then curls up besides Dan as she suddenly is overwhelmed with tiredness, although they suggest that you don't fall asleep in chemo. "Ay..." Dan whispers nudging Charlie on the arm.

But Charlie doesn't respond. Instead she closes her eyes while Dan tilts his head back. "The bitch called." Charlie whispers.

"Which bitch?" Both Dan and Charlie are plagued by 'bitches' both dead and alive. They've both given up with naming them.

"Au-bitch." Dan cracks a smile. No matter how ill Charlie is, she'll forever call Aubrey a bitch. But Aubrey doesn't mind. She's used to be 'queen bitch' or whatever nicknames Charlie titles her with.

"What did she want?" Dan asks while Charlie tries to hold in a pile feeling.

"For you to go to a premiere tomorrow night." Dan's eyes widens while he shakes his head looking down at Charlie. There's no way he's letting her go to a premiere.

"She's out of her fucking mind." Dan whispers trying not to disturb the calm and relaxing environment.

"Don't you want to know what film it is at least? I was the one who...kinda recommended it." Dan's eyes widen again while Charlie opens her's a little. She smiles at Dan's shocked reaction. Although she knows what he's going to say regardless.

"What film is it then?"

"Doctor Sleep." Dan then looks at her confused. He's never heard of 'Doctor Sleep' before.

Charlie on the other hand smiles, "the Ewan McGregor film..." Dan shrugs with a stupid grin on his face.

"Fucking hell Dan. The premiere is the sequel to The Shining. Because you've been really good to me...and you haven't had any alone time or whatever I thought it would be good if you got to go...without this set back." Charlie laughs a little while pointing to herself.

"You shouldn't of..." Dan then feels bad. He presumed that Charlie would be going with him.

"I should've got you tickets to the IT premiere, you know? I'm sorry about that. But I know how much you adore Kubrick...and this film has several nods towards him." Dan nods his head with a smile. He cannot dent her sweet offer.

"Then you can come back here the day after tomorrow and tell me and Lacey all about it, can't you?" Charlie glides her fingers through Dan's hair. It's getting like how it used to be. Dan hasn't shaved it in months.

"The day after tomorrow?" Dan has been sleeping in the hospital bed with Charlie, despite them not actually living together.

"When you're a film star and go to premieres...you get to go in posh hotel rooms. Nick all the booze in the fridge for me, please." Charlie pats Dan on the chest before winking...only because she cannot stomach alcohol.

"I don't want to leave you alone." But Charlie shrugs.

"I need sleep...and to catch up on all those boring housewives shows that you hate. I'll FaceTime you while you get a suit or whatever." Dan's eyes widen.

"Suit?"

"They're having a big London premiere...so it's fancy." Dan rolls his eyes back before kissing Charlie on top of her head. The only part where it's redeemed 'safe' during chemo.

"Thank you." He whispers with a sympathetic smile.

Charlie would do anything and everything for Dan too...
