We arrived around 4 pm and went straight to our hotels. It was going to be Eric and Chris sharing one room and Ella in the other. After they all got their things unpacked Eric went to go talk to Ella privately. "Hey, ummm... I.. have something to give you but don't open it until you start college okay"? asked Eric quietly. "Okay but isn't that when...". "Yeah it is". said Eric cutting her off. "Oh okay" she said quietly.
Eric went back into his shared hotel room and looked at the view. "Hey". said Chris. "Hey" replied Eric.
"So I actually have a dinner reservation for us tonight". said Chris
"Just for us two"?! questioned Eric
"Yeah because Ella said that you and I should have some alone time". said Chris shyly.
"But we have alone time right now... You know what, I'd be happy to eat out with you. When is the reservation"? asked Eric.
"It's at 7" replied Chris
"Oh gosh, that means I have to get ready now"! said a panicking Eric.
7pm
They walked side by side to the restaurant. As they sat down Eric started feeling insecure about how he was dressed. The whole restaurant just seemed to fancy for him. Chris took notice of how Eric was feeling, so he held his hand and just told him to order anything he wanted. Chris and Eric both ordered the cream pasta. When they finished, Chris took held of Eric's hand again and led him to a small field of roses.
"I don't know if this is too cliche but I need to say something to you right now". said Chris.
"Okay, go ahead". said Eric
"I want to say that I truly like you and I didn't notice my feelings until the few last weeks of school. I know it's really dumb of me but I like you Eric and I'm so sorry for all the times that I've made you hurt. I.. really don't know if you would ever like me back but if you don't can we still be friends? I don't think I can imagine a life without you... even though... I... won't see you in a few... months". said Chris
He started tearing up and started to whimper and so did Eric. Eric ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug.
"How did you know that you won't see me in a few months"? asked Eric while a few tears went down his cheeks. "Did my mom tell you"? asked Eric
"You're.. mom.. told me... about it" said Chris while holding Eric in a firm hug trying not to cry anymore.
"It's okay don't cry. Be happy okay? Yes I know I have mesothelioma but... I will still be your loving and caring boyfriend okay? asked Eric holding back more tears from coming out.
"Okay" said Chris weakly
"Okay, Okay lets stop crying now". chuckled Eric while wiping away his tears.
"We still have a city to explore" said Eric
"I'm just glad it get to explore it with my boyfriend" giggled Chris.
"Oh so you're already using title names huh"? asked Eric.
"Yep, because now I get to hold your hand without worrying to much, cuddle with you, hug you even more and even kiss your forehead and cheeks". said Chris happily.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I get it, now let's go to the Ferris Wheel by the Eiffel Tower". said Eric with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Anything for you" said Chris smiling.
