Break for This

"Oh Gerard, wake up, I got to show you something..." I tried to sound seductive.

He had gone through so much shit in the past 24 hours, I felt bad. So I thought of a plan to make him feel better. It wasn't anything really special, but I knew he'd love it.

I felt a little awkward by the thought of sex in a hospital. But I managed to find a way. I asked the nurse if there was a wing that wasn't being used and was vacant. She asked me why I just said I wanted to play my guitar. Then she told me that the far eastern wing was empty because it was being used to store old equipment. No one ever went down there. I trusted her and I asked if Gee was allowed to go with me so I could play a song for him. She gave consent.That was really weird, it's like she was his babysitter and I was the kid next door who wanted to play.

"Make sure he is back up here for 1:30 check" She smiled yet her tone was stern.

"I'll make it my life's mission" I tried to get a laugh out of her. It worked, then she nodded and left to finish her rounds.

Anyways, when I got back to Gee 5 minutes had passed and I continued to try to wake him. He woke with a small startle and turned his head and smiled.

"Morning Frankie" The sexy sleepy tone escaping with his words.

"Morning Gee, how you feeling?"

"A lot better, most of the pain is gone, it's only in my hand and forearm but I think that's from the IV and the--" I felt a wave of nerves run through me as he looked at his arm.

My thought: Oh shit!
He saw them. He saw the needle in his arm. I hoped he wouldn't. I tried to keep his head to the other side so he wouldn't notice. I wanted him to just be oblivious to them.

His face fell still as he finally processed the needles. Then he looked over to me again. Even worse. I could see the look of fear and worry in his eyes. I tried to get away from the topic and side track him.

"So, I have a surprise for you" I really didn't think that through. But I didn't realize what I said 'till he responded.

"Oh, you mean the fact that I have 2 pieces of sharp, pointy, skin breaking metal injected in my arm" His face still showing a still expression of utter fear.

Fuck. What can I say that he won't relate them to. Damn, he isn't making this easy.

"Uh..um..do your legs feel good enough to go for a walk" Yeah, that works...I think.

"Sure, but do these have to come with us" He pointed at the IV bag. He was too scared to touch his arm or the needles.

"I'll ask the nurse to take that out" I tried but I knew he wouldn't be comforted by that. If anything he would have felt worse.

"So, they'll have to pull them out, like really slow" He cringed at the thought.

"No, they'll do it quick" Shit. I'm so dead.

"WHAT! Am I a lawn mower and they just yank the cord out."

"No..they do it...like..slo--" I just stopped. I can't make this sound good in anyway.

"I'll just go get the nurse..." I attempted to get out quick, then he spoke which made me stop and turn back around.

"Her name is Liza but it's Miss.Liza to us because she isn't married...got it?" His eyebrows raised waiting for my response.

"Got it darling..." I left the room "...sassy much" I whispered under my breath.

When I found the nurs-- I mean Miss.Liza I explained the situation and how Gee had a severe needle phobia. She chuckled.

"So he is one of 'those' patients, well I know how to do it without him noticing but I need your help" She picked up some charts and starting walking back to our room.

"Of course, for sure, anything just make sure it's full proof or else I'M going to end up in danger" I started to follow her and listen to my part in the task at hand.

I slipped into the room before she did. Then the plan commenced.

"Well I couldn't find Miss Liza but I ran into another nurse and he showed me all the steps" I lied.

"What do you mean...he showed you all the steps" Worried curiosity fell into his tone.

"I mean he said that he trusted me enough to take the needles out myself".

"Are you stoned? I'm not letting you tough my fucking arm. Babe I love you but you touch me or the metal and i'm leaving your ass" The plan was right on track and going perfect.

After about 6 minutes I gave Miss Liza the signal that he was ready. Then she slipped in and pretended to be clueless in what was going on.

"Hey Mr.Way what's wrong"

"Frank here thinks i'm going to let him touch the metal in my arm" The annoyance wrapped around his words.

"Uh, he isn't allowed to do that without a degree or a PhD" She winked at me.

"Well it can't be hard, I mean the other nurse showed me how" I winked back.

"But you still aren't permitted to remove it" She was really good at this, I felt like I was really in shit. She paused. " And it isn't easy, i'll show you how complicated it is" She leaned over to Gee.

He didn't even notice because he was starring at me making sure I didn't go anywhere near him. When she nodded to me showing me that the needle was out, I walked over toward him.

"You know i'll never let you take these out, right?"

"Take what out babe?" He looked over at his arm.

At first his face was wonder struck, then he was calm.

"See, it didn't hurt right?" I smirked.

"No. It didn't, but I still hate those 'things'...wait did you and Miss Liza do that, on purpose" His brain finally connecting it all.

"Surprise" I paused "By the way, I believe before this all went down I had a different surprise for you, are you still up for that walk?" I tilted my head. He nodded and I helped him up.
