Chapter Ten: One Last Day

~~~

Blake's P.O.V

Sighing, I plopped down on our bed and kicked off my shoes. Another long day at work, and they'll be another tomorrow. I really hate work. Serving rude, greedy people all day isn't really my thing. And no matter what you have to keep a smile on your face. It's a pain, my cheeks hurt.

The thing that does keep a smile on my face? Seeing Jace work like there's no tomorrow. His smile is beautiful, I could stare at him for hours, well, if it weren't for me having to do my job. "Hey, i'm gonna take a shower, go ahead and get ready for bed." I heard Jace call from the restroom.

Jace is literally the best boyfriend ever. Almost the perfect boyfriend. He would be if he were completely mine, but then he wouldn't even be a boyfriend anymore. He would be my husband. I can just imagine it now.

"Do you, Blake Hoying, take this man, Jace Grassi, to be your lawfully wedded husband forever?"

"I do."

"And do you, Jace Grassi, take this man, Blake Hoying, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Any interjections?"

...

"Then you may forever hold your peace. You may now kiss the...groom."

I smiled and leaned down to kiss Jace.

"Blake! Did you hear me?"

Snapping back to reality, I looked up to see an angry Jace, with his hands on his hips. He's, oh so sassy. How long has he been standing there? Was he talking to me? "Were you talking to me?" With a roll of his eyes, Jace sighed and sat down beside me.

"I said that I need to go to the doctor's tomorrow, do you wanna come or nah?" Do I wanna come? To the doctors? With you? Jace, as long as i'm with you, I would go anywhere. I nodded my head eagerly, with a soft smile on my face. Oh, did I mention it's an excuse to get out of work? Lovely.

"Alright then, let's get to sleep, we wouldn't want to be late." We got under the covers and I snaked my arm around Jace's waist. He's so warm and soft, I just love cuddling him. I wonder what Jace needs to go to the doctors for though.

Jace's P.O.V

Blake and I made casual talk as we waited for my name to be called. We were currently arguing over who had the best abs. Kidding. We're talking about who's the best Teletubby.

"Tinky-Winky is obviously the best Teletubby." I argued. Blake shook his head in disagreement. "Laa-Laa is the best Teletubby, no doubt about it."

"Tinky-Winky."

"Laa-Laa."

"Tinky-Winky."

"Laa-Laa."

"Twinky."

"Laa-...Wait...Did you just say Twinky?"

"Yes, I did. I am very hungry, and I want a twinky."

Blake rolled his eyes and smiled. I smiled back. I felt the urge to kiss him right now, but we're in public. I don't know how Blake would feel about that. I, of course, want the whole world to know that, Blake Hoying, is, and always will be, mine.

"Jace?" I heard the nurse call. I patted Blake's shoulder and we both got up and followed the nurse. We checked for fevers, height, weight, then we were tooken to our assigned room. I pouted and crossed my arms as I sat on the hospital bed. While we were checking my height, Blake wouldn't stop teasing me. He kept making comments on how 'cute' and 'short' I am.

Erh, curse me and my shortness.

After a quick check up, the doctors left to give me some results, and Blake left to the restroom. After a while, the doctors came back, a sympathetic look on their faces. "Mr.Grassi, I think this will be best if we tell you this while your friend isn't around." Growing a bit worried, I took a deep breath and nodded.

"Well, Mr.Grassi, you have this rare disease called Sychrosyndrom."

(I'm not sure if it's a real thing or not, I just made it up.)

"W-What's Sychrosyndrom?" I asked, a bit more scared then usual. I started to shake a bit, getting even more anxious by the second. "It's a germ inside your body that can kill people from around the age 18-40. There is no known cure for it as far as we know. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you only have one more day to live."

I gasped and began crying into my hands. Only one more day?! What will I tell Blake? What will happen to him? We were supposed to grow old together, get married, have kids. You know, 'till death do us part! Except, I'll be the only one dead. We're supposed to grow old and die together!

Blake's P.O.V

I was about to open the door and head back into the room where Jace is, but stopped, hearing the sound of Jace's voice. He sounded a bit scarer, worried, and maybe a bit anxious.

"W-What's Sychrosyndrom?"

"It's a germ inside your body that can kill people around the age 18-40. There is no known cure for it, as far as we know. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you only have one more day to live."

I heard Jace gasp and start to cry. I felt my heart break and tears gather up at the corner of my eyes. Jace only has one more day to live? And there's no possible way we can cure him? What are we going to do? I can't possibly be without Jace! I don't want to lose him again...

I felt the tears fall down my cheek and I ran back to the bathroom. This can't be happening, not to me, not to Jace, not to us. I'm not going to lose Jace again, no matter what. I need him. He's my reason to keep living, he stopped me from cutting for pete's sake! He's my only light and joy. A world without Jace is a world I can't live in. So what am I to do?

*Time Skip* (Jace's P.O.V)

I need to tell Blake. There's a 90% chance I will die tomorrow, and i'm not just going to leave him behind. I need to tell him something, we need to figure something out. We ran away so we can be together, and now, I might die. This...is really fucked up.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, sitting beside Blake on the bed. "Blake, w-we need to talk." I said, stuttering a bit. Blake sat up and faced me. I could see the same emotions in his eyes. Worry, scared, anxious, but also pain. I gulped and let out another long sigh. I looked up when I heard sniffling, and immediately noticed that Blake is crying.

"Jace, what are we going to do? I don't want to lose you again." Blake choked out, in between sobs. I pulled him into a hug, in an attempt to comfort him. How did he know? Did the doctors tell him, a nurse, or did he perhaps over hear a conversation about it? What ever it was, it's not important right now.

What's important is figuring out what we are going to do before I...die...

"Let's get married."

I pulled away from the hug and looked Blake in the eyes. "Get married?" He nodded, tears still evident on his face. I kissed his tears away, causing him to blush a bit. "I-I always dreamed of marrying you...I wanted to at least get married and die old together..." I nodded understandingly and pulled Blake into another hug. I, after all, I want the same.

Till Death Do Us Part...♡
