recap: they are in the hospital with george

it was now 10:36 and the doctor came back. "hello guys my name in Dr.Nick. george was admitted with attempted suicide overdose. good news he doesn't need surgery and he will be able to go home in a few days. since it was attempted suicide, we do have to monitor him for 72 hours. he will have out patient therapy but since he isn't a minor, there's no need for him to go to a mental hospital unless you guys would like him to" he explained. 

"okay thank you doctor" wilbur said. "i can go get you guys some food and some clothes if you guys are going to stay here all night" techno asked. 

"yeah that would be nice. thank you techno" wilbur said. techno left the room leaving clay and wilbur alone. 

"you know he likes you back" wilbur said. "huh?" clay asked confused. "he said he likes you but he doesn't want to make you sad or upset with him because he thinks he's broken" wilbur said. "and techno said that you didn't want to stress him out even more with a relationship" he finished. 

"yeah that's true. i dont know he's been through so much" clay said looking at george. "he has. but he's strong. he was probably overwhelmed at once. that's why he did what he did" wilbur said moving george's hair out of his eyes. 

after an hour, techno came back with two bags of clothes and some chick-fil-a. they all sat around and ate for a while. "we should get going clay" techno said. "no i don't want to leave him" clay said staring at george. "okay. wilbur are you staying?" techno asked. "i wish i could but i have interviews to do and they can't be moved. i'll come back tomorrow afterwards though" he said standing up. 

"okay i'll see you guys later" clay said waving. once they were gone, clay stood up and turned the main light off and kept a lamp on so it was dim. 

"i'm so sorry you have to go through this george" clay said as tear filled his eyes. clay sat in the chair, with his hand still in george's and laid back closing his eyes. 

-the next morning-

clay woke up in the same spot again, still holding george's hand. he looked at george again. "come on george. please wake up. i know you miss alex but i would miss you" clay whispered. then, george squeezed clay's hand. clay sat up and looked at george.

"george?" he asked. george's eyes fluttered open, immediately looking at the blonde boy in front of him. 

"george!" he said cheerfully. "doctor! he's awake!" he said yelling in the hallway. Dr.Minx came back looking at george and taking the tube out of his mouth. he took in a deep breath with the feeling of relief over him. 

"i'm sorry clay" george said. "no no you don't need to be sorry. non of this is your fault" clay said reassuring him. george gave him a weak smile before looking around again. "where's wilbur and techno?" he asked. "they had some stuff to do. im pretty sure wilbur said he has an interview to do" clay answered. 

"george why did you do it? was any of it because of me?" he asked while his voice was cracking. "of course not. i missed alex. everything overwhelmed me at once and i didn't want to be here" george answered. clay looked at him and smiled. "please talk to me next time you feel this way. i will always be here to listen" he said smiling at the brunette. 

they sat there talking for a bit until the breakfast came in.

clay took a bite of the pancakes and cringed. "your british pancakes are better" he said shaking his head. "my british pancakes are better than regular pancakes" george said in a sassy tone. 

every 30 minutes, the doctors came in and refilled george's IV and checked his blood pressure and what not.

they continued to talk and clay brightened the mood by reenacting what techno looked like whenever mary would scare him or when he would get in trouble. 

after a while wilbur and techno came back with purple orchids. "this is what i was going to tell you. we got the purple orchids back in stock" clay smiled. they placed the vase down beside george's hospital bed. 

when the 72 hours was finally done, george was prescribed with anti-depressants and therapy. they were packing up their stuff and all got in the car. once they all got to george's house, they let george go shower and just relax in his room with good food. 

 everything was going well for george. he felt better now that he realized that he had people that cared about him. 

3 days later

fourth of july

8:26 pm

"george get ready i'm taking you somewhere" clay said running into george's room. "where?" george asked. "it's a surprise" clay smirked. george raised an eyebrow at him. "oh come on just get ready" clay whined. "okay okay" george chuckled. he changed into sweat pants and a beige sweater. 

"here put this on" clay said handing a blindfold to george. "for what?" george asked taking it. "because you can't see where we are going" clay laughed. "thats the point of a surprise" he said. 

george rolled his eyes but gave in and put the blindfold on. 

clay began driving while listening to music on the way. once they got to their location, clay opened george's door for him and took his hands to guide him. "clay this feels like a horror movie" george laughed. "it should" clay laughed. 

"what!" george asked in a nervous tone. "i'm just kidding chill out" clay laughed.

clay took off the blindfold which revealed a picnic in a small grassy area. there were different food options and drinks along with a plastic vase with purple orchids in the middle of the blanket. 

"we can watch the fire works for the fourth of july together" clay said happily. george looked at the set up in awe. "you did this for me?" george asked. "yeah of course! you deserve it" clay smiled. 

they walked over to the blanket and sat down. no one else was there besides them, surrounded by trees with a view of the beach. at the end of the beach was where they were going to set off.

they began eating and chatting waiting for the the fireworks. "george there was actually something i wanted to ask you" clay said rubbing his hands together. 

"i know you have a lot on your plate right now so i understand if you say no but, i think you are an amazing guy. you are handsome and a great cook, nice to me, and i think you are wonderful. so george davidson, would you like to be my boyfriend?'' clay asked shrinking back a bit. 

george looked at him and smiled. "i thought you'd never ask" he smiled.

BOOM

the fireworks started to go off. many at one time. they were all different colors and shapes. each one casted a different color glow over the two as they held hands.
