Devil's Night

Devil's Night (Final Chapter)

Chris POV

I am often told that I could be a great actor if I really set my mind to it and I often would practice with Ricky just to fuck with him. A lot of times he never picked up on what I was doing and so seeing his reactions were all the more funny. I really actually was excited about his recovery and wanted to check him out temporarily from the hospital to celebrate our relationship tonight. We really didn't do anything that special and I think that it was about time.

Perhaps I was making the mood overly tense because he was beginning to look saddened when I was being serious. Seeing that he couldn't take anymore of my tricks, my hallow expression transformed into a mischievous, bright smile. Raising an eyebrow, I told him that I had a surprise for him. I took his hands in mine to help him out of the bed and handed him his clothes before he walked into the bathroom to change out of his medical robe.

Earlier, I asked Ash to bring park car in the hospital's lot when I got the news that I was soon going to free to leave, so now I could go where I pleased and bring things back for Ricky. He was always a bit of a picky eater but I wasn't at all so things balanced itself out.

When he finally come out of the restroom he was wearing a large sweatshirt and some skinnys. I could tell he was still self conscious so I took him in my arms and hugged him tight to let him know that everything would be alright. About ten minutes later we were in my car and on our way to a gothic bar I found not too far from the hospital. About to pull out of the parking lot, Ricky just stared deeply in my eyes as they twinkled from the street lights and I got lost in his.
"What's this really about Chris?" He sounded rather suspicious at my plans for the night as if he thought that I was still playing games with him.

"I want to treat you tonight. We both have been though a lot and I figured tonight we can try and forget about that for a while and just enjoy a drink together." As I looked at him shyly as I twiddled my thumbs in my lap.

Half grinning and pleased, he leaned over to kissed me. "Thanks baby."

I kissed him back and started the car to headed over to the club. Maybe if things went well, I could grant Ricky's wish to end the night on a high note. Everything was now as it should be agian and the raging storm was settling down only to have a vibrant rainbow take it's place.

'We've been through everything

And we (both) have our scars

We may be broken but (he)

Can't kill (both) of us!'
