Save me from this hospital bed

Gerard Said a few words, none really catching my attention. That is, until I heard the next thing he said. "When you turn eighteen, will you be my boyfriend?"

It took me a second to register his words. "You want me go to be your boyfriend?" I choked out.

"Yes. I'd really like that. But, I won't pressure you. You don't have to answer now, either. You can answer when you wa-"

"YES."

"Really?" He sounded a little shocked. "Great!"

"I wish you were here! I really wanna kiss you!"

"I want to do a lot more than kiss you, Frankie," a sly grin was probably spread across his face. it was evident in his voice.

"Hm. Sounds lovely."

"Oh it is. But, you aren't eighteen yet, I'm sorry. What a shame."

I groaned in frustration. "Gee!" I whined.

"I like it when you call me 'Gee'," he told me.

"I bet you do, Gee," I made my voice lower. He laughed a little, a comfortable silence falling.

"So, Gerard, why do you want to date me?"

"you're cute. You're funny. I love your smile, and your cute little laugh. I like the way you say my name, and the way you are so adorable. I could go on forever!" I smiled at how he said all that. "Tell me, what do you like about me?"

"Everything," I said.

"Really? Even my quirky love of science fiction junk?" He sounded as if he was doubting himself

"Especially your quirky love of science fiction," I answered."And, don't doubt yourself. You're amazing. I like everything about you. There's nothing I don't like."

"Thank you, Frankie. I love it when you're all caring and everything."

"And I love it when you are cared for. You're amazing, and don't you forget it!!"

Notes

I'm sorry that it's short. Off to my partner in crime, Dee!
