"hey man," i said and sat down beside george's bed, "you're stuck with me for now."

uncomfortable, i shifted in my seat. i never was a fan of hospitals. george knew that. if only he's aware that i'm here, he'd make me leave right away. yep, george may be an asshole sometimes, but at the end of the day, he's still one of my few best friends; and i'd look after him anytime, anywhere.

we're supposed to see each other again today for my pokémon go video shoot. george also suggested that he could translate some of the japanese pokémon cards for the unboxing video. we did see each other, but things didn't go as we planned.

i'm glad he'll just be sleeping for a while—there are worse things.

"i miss you already," i told him, "and no, no homo." i carelessly joked.

a small smile was formed on my lips, but it was gone in an instant. i closed my eyes and cried quietly. honestly, i'm worried as hell. he did deserve a break, but this was too much.

"by the way, were you talking about y/n the other day? if yes, well...they're alright," i said truthfully. "they're really nice. in fact, y/n was the who's been looking after you lately. but i made them go home and you know...take care of themselves. we'll take turns."

"george, i say you go for it. if you like her...or love her, go for it. you'll never know if it's true if you don't take risks," i explained. i can't believe the words coming out of my mouth either, but..

"trust me, george. i've been there."
