Jerome's POV
I wake up and let out a cry. It's Christmas. It's been 8 months, 22 days since Mitch's birthday. Almost a year since... the accident. I miss him so much. The doctors... they said they were gonna pull the plug on Christmas. Mitch... This is the last day.
I get up out of bed and sigh, looking at the Christmas gift for Mitch. I pick the small box up, and head out for the hospital. "Hello Mr.Aceti" the receptionist nods "Merry Christmas"
"Merry Christmas Ma'am" I smile a little and walk to my Benjas room. I open the door and try to hold back sobs. This is his last day. I sit on his bed and kiss him gently "M-Mitch please" I whisper "it's the last day. It's your last day" I whimper and curl up against him.
Mitch's POV
I watch Jerome. "COME ON MITCH!" I yell. "WAKE UP! I-IT'S CHRISTMAS. PLEASE!" I collapse to the ground crying and everything goes black.
I wake up on the hospital bed "w-what's going on?" I murmur and look at my hands. "JEROME!" I yell and sit up "G. WAKE UP!" I say a bit quieter and he wakes up, tackling me in a bear hug. "Ow" I mutter and hug him back "you've grown" I say with a smile, kissing him gently.
"Mitch! Y-you're... I knew it! I knew you'd come ba-" he gets cut off by my kiss and kisses me back.
Jerome's POV
I kiss Mitch back gently "I missed you so much" I murmur and wrap my arms around him, but get off "sorry biggums. You okay? We should get a doctor in here"
"No. No I just want you and me right now" he whispers and lays on my chest "Merry Christmas Biggums" he whispers
"Merry Christmas Jerome" I whisper back and fumble in my pocket. "I got you a gift. Here" I hand him the small box.
Mitch's POV
I take the box from my bacca and smile "you didn't have to get me anything Jerome."
"But I did" he whispers and I open it. It's a small watch, with #MEROME engraved on part, and 'in benja we trust, in bacca we must' on the other side. "I-I love it Bacca" I whisper and hug him "I didn't get you anything"
"Mitchell Hughes. I don't need anything else for Christmas. I got all that I wanted... You're okay" he smiles and buries his face in the crook of my neck. "Let's get a doctor in here so you can get out of here"
I nod "okay. Good idea" I press the call button and a doctor comes in "are you ready to pull the pl-oh. He's alive!" The last thing I remember is a bunch of doctors rushing in and checking on me.
-An hour later-
I wake up in Jerome's strong arms, he's carrying me out. "Hi Bacca" I whisper and smile up at him.
"Hey Biggums" he sets me down in the car "how ya feeling?"
"Amazing now that I'm out of there" I mutter and smile, watching Jerome in awe.
"Watcha lookin at?" He grins
I quickly look away, blushing "n-nothing."
"All right" he grins and pulls up to his house. "Lesgo!" He parks and gets out. I get out of the car then sway and fall against the car. "C-can I have some help?" I mutter and stars appear in front of my eyes. He carefully scoops me up and nods, walking inside and his parents greet us. But everything is a daze. He sets me on his bed and I curl up, yawning. Jerome sits next to me and rubs my back "how ya feeling buddy?"
"I've been better. But I've been worse. I-it was so hard Jerome. To see you cry" I whisper, tears slowly falling down my face. He scoops me up into a hug and rubs my back. "It's okay now. I'm here. You're here. We're together."
"Forever" I whisper and bury my face in his chest, trying to stop the tears. "Let's go spend Christmas dinner with your family"
"Sounds like a plan" he gets up, keeping an arm around my waist for support and we walk to dinner.

"Just Friends"
FanfictionThis'll obviously be a Merome fanfic. I will try to update it normally, and this should be pretty long, with a sequel (if wanted). This WILL switch POV's, mainly Jerome and Mitch. Mitch and Jerome were just friends, that's what they told everybody...
