My eyelids start to feel heavy as sleep takes hold of me, I rest my head upon Gerard’s chest as I fall asleep to the comforting sounds of his still-beating heart.

Suddenly I hear a sweet voice whisper, “You’re even more beautiful when you’re sleeping.” I open my eyes to find divine hazel eyes staring back at me. Gerard smirks at me, before erupting into a coughing fit as I raise my head from his chest and smile at him.
“I could say the same thing about you.” I say as I stroke his pallid cheek, his skin cold to my touch. He grabs my hand and lays a gentle kiss upon it.
“You still owe me a kiss.” He says, his voice raspy and quiet. I let out a slight laugh while still looking into his eyes, stuck in a trance that I don’t want to pull away from anytime soon.
“No promises were ever made. But I’ll make an exception just for you, love.” I say as I lean into kiss Gerard, our lips collided in a moment that I’ll never forget.
He begins to deepen the kiss, as I hold his face in my hands. After a few moments of pure bliss, we have to pull away in order to breathe.
"That...that was amazing." Gerard voiced as I brushed the loose strands of hair away from his face.
"Did it meet your expectations?" I inquire as Gerard grasps my hand in his cold embrace.
"Surpassed them." I smile at his answer.
"I was so afraid that I was going to lose you." I admit, sorrow filling my eyes as Gerard reaches his hand up and strokes my face, I lean into his comforting touch relishing in the moment.
"I'm not that easy to get rid of, love." He states, a smile spreading unto his beautiful face once again as I see his eyes having trouble staying open and his breathing slowing. He opens his mouth to speak once more but I interrupt by placing a finger upon his soft lips.
"Shhh, Gerard you need to rest." I say as I begin to stand up but Gerard grabs my wrist.
"I almost lost you once, I'm not losing you again," He admits while motioning to the sofa he currently rests in, "Lay with me."
"Gerard" I start but his pleading hazel eyes help me make up my mind as I move to lie down on the sofa next to him.
He wraps his arms around my waist as he kisses the top of my head and whispers into my ear, "I love you, Helena." I tense up at the sound of those dreaded words escaping his lips.
