John

"I did it."

Alex kissed me softly. "I love you John. I'm so proud of you." I smiled. He handed me the clothes he brought, and I laughed a bit at the fact that he brought my ninja turtle zip up. It wasn't very thick, but it was soft as hell, and I loved that. "Laf said it was your favourite."

I nodded. "He's right. It is. Thank you Alex," I smiled. Alex smiled back, rubbing circles with his thumb on the back of my hand. "Thank you for staying here. It really means a lot to me," I smiled. Alex smiled back.

"Anything for you Johnny," he said, "This is a huge step for you, and I want to be here in this and every step you take with you." I blushed.

"God Alex, it sounds like you're proposing," I teased. He laughed and kissed my cheek.

"I'm just so happy for you John. I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you Alex."

"I love you."

"I love you too Alex. I love you so much." He pulled me into a short but sweet kiss. He cupped my cheeks. "I'm going to go change, okay?"

"Do you need help?"

I turned red. I didn't want Alex to see the scars, especially now because they were so red and obvious. So fresh. "N-No, I'm okay. I'm just changing. Thanks though," I said awkwardly. He respected my request, staying seated as I slowly got up to walk to the bathroom and change out of the hospital gown.

I zipped up my soft jacket and slipped on my boxers and warm ups. I walked out slowly, and Alex was dozing off in the chair next to the hospital bed. I smiled a bit and climbed into the bed, closing my eyes and holding onto his hand. Alex kissed my forehead and I could hear the chair squeak under him. He was getting up. I squeezed his hand and looked up at him. He looked at me, with a soft little smile resting happily on his face.

"Don't go anywhere please," I said softly.

"Okay," he nodded.

I closed my eyes and eventually fell asleep. I woke up a while later, rubbing my eyes. There was no light coming in through the window. It must've been pretty late. Alex was snoring lightly in the chair, leaning against the side of the bed. I sat up and nudged him awake. He drowsily perked up and smiled at me. "Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"To leave."

"What?"

"The doctor came in while you were asleep. He said everything is looking fine, and that we could leave whenever you're ready, but I figured I'd wait until you wake up." I smiled and kissed his cheek. He helped me stand. He handed me my shoes, or more, put them on for me. He walked down with me, and I waited with him as he chatted with the doctor. I couldn't help but smile at him, because he was doing all of this for me. I didn't think I'd ever mean so much to someone.

Alex walked me to the curb, his arm around my waist. "I called Laf and Hercules, they should be here in a little bit."

"Thank you so much Alex." I leaned against him, with the biggest smile on my face. We stood outside for about five more minutes. Alex had given me his jacket to put over me because I was shivering. Alex was too, but he refused to take the jacket back. We climbed into the backseat of Laf's car and I shoved his jacket back at him, pressuring him to put it back on.

"How do you feel John?" Hercules asked from the passenger's seat.

"I feel amazing. Tired, but amazing." The both of them laughed. We drove back to the apartment, where it was decided that Alex and Hercules would sleep there, just in case something went wrong. I didn't mind that much. Alex went and hopped in the shower, and I started to change into some warm pj's. I laid down on the bed under the blankets, finally checking my phone. Scrolling through Twitter and tumblr. I locked my phone and put it to charge on my nightstand.

Alex came back into the room a little while later, wearing a pair of Laf's sweatpants and a shirt of their's too. Alex walked over to me, interlocking our fingers. "Do you want me to sleep in here, or do you want the bed to yourself?"

"Is that even a question? Stay in here with me, please," I said softly, and probably sounding like a child. Alex chuckled and got into the bed. He kissed my temple and squeezed my hand. Alex felt so warm, and his hair was still a little wet from his shower, leaving a damp stain on the pillow when he moved.

"I'm so so proud of you John. I'm so happy for you," he said. I smiled and moved closer to him in allowing him to wrap his arms around my hips. He pressed a kiss to my cheek, and slowly I turned to kiss him. He smiled and pulled back. "John," he started, "I want to ask you something."

I was confused but said okay and he continued.

"You and I, we've been through some stuff. And you mean the world to me. But I noticed something."

"What?" I was worried.

"I never asked you to be my boyfriend."

The word boyfriend hit me, and I was smiling so wide. "Well no but-"

"I mean, we kissed a lot and stuff and I've called you babe, but as a gentleman, I want to ask you properly to be my boyfriend."

"Okay."

"No no. I have to ask you. I haven't asked you yet."

"Okay...." I trailed.

"So John?"

"Yeah?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"No."

He shot up. "What?"

I laughed. "I'm just kidding. Of course, you big dummy." I pulled him into a kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too."

And I fell asleep against his chest with his arm protectively around my waist.
