This is a good one. Jeremy isn't killing anybody this time. In fact this is an AU/HC thing I have so like... enjoy.

Jeremy gently squeezed Michael's hand as he laid in the hospital bed.

"Relax Jerm. It'll be okay." Michael gently smiled and Jeremy tried to use it as reassurance but it didn't work.

Jeremy was horrified of needles. And the fact that he had to get an IV before the surgery didn't help.

"What if I-It doesn't work?" Jeremy mumbled and Michael used his free hand to cup Jeremy's face calmly and gently.

"I swear to you this will work. I swear on the graves of all the zombies we kill in Apocalypse of the Damned that it'll work." He told Jeremy quietly, hoping he'd believe it.

A nurse walked in, Michael had prayed that they got her. He knew her, sort of. He had a friend who he occasionally smoked with, this friend had two boyfriends, and one of them had a mom who just so happened to be a nurse at the local hospital. Lucky right!?

"Jeremy Heere?"

"That's m-me." Jeremy fumbled out nervously, holding Michael's hand tightly.

"Hi Jeremy, I'm Ms. Hansen, you can call me Heidi, and I'm gonna be helping to put the IV in you." She said sweetly and Jeremy actually calmed down a bit.

She walked over to Jeremy's other arm, the one Michael wasn't holding on to, and she asked him if that arm was ok for the IV.

He nodded nervously and he didn't want to watch as she put it in. Michael knew a way to distract him from the pain and gently kissed him on the lips, eyeing Ms. Hansen, signaling that it was okay to put it in.

Thank goodness Michael was there or Jeremy would have cried. Granted he was but Michael gently wiped away his tears.

"I promise you it'll be gone. You'll be asleep and you won't feel a thing and when you wake up, you're not gonna have nightmares anymore. For good this time." Michael gently whispered and Jeremy smiled, ignoring the pain in his arm.

"Excuse me Michael can you let me put this on him? I've got to put the laughing gas in him so he goes to sleep easier alright?"

"Oh of course Heidi." Michael gently stepped out of the way as Heidi gently put the mask on Jeremy's face.

Within about 3 minutes Jeremy was a giggling mess, and Michael thought it was adorable.

"H-Heh you're really cute." Jeremy mumbled and Michael felt his face blush.

"Thanks Jeremy, you're cute too."

"Holy crap you knows my name!" Jeremy's eyes widened and he giggled a bit more. "Are you single?"

"No." Michael answered and Jeremy's face went from happy to sad in a few seconds. "W-Wait I mean...Yes?"

"Okay will you be my boyfriend?" Jeremy giggled out and Michael nodded, gently kissing Jeremy's forehead.

"You gotta get to sleep Jerm, alright?"

"He called me Jerm...He gave me a nickname...Ya know... You're a lot like my friend...Michael, yeah yeah that's his name."

"Jeremy I am Michael."

"You're named Michael too?"

"Okay yeah sure. Look just go to sleep alright?"

"O-," Jeremy yawned loudly, "Okay...Micha." His eyes gently closed and in a matter of seconds he was asleep.

Michael had to go out to the waiting room. He was chill with that, he texted the group the entire time.
