(This is a song by James Blunt called '1973'. I've been quite sad lately so I've been listening to it a lot. The name should be 'Simona' but I've changed it to 'My darling' because it would fit better with the one shot. I hope you enjoy.)

It had been 2 months since Ghost was put into a coma. And Toast couldn't help but feel guilty over how it happened.

He had requested some time alone with him. Spooker nodded and walked out with Colon. Toast could hear him crying.

Toast slowly moved closer to Ghost. He gently took his hand.

"My darling," he sniffed. "You're getting older. Your journeys been," he moved his other hand along Ghosts arm, looking at all the scars from previous investigations. "Etched.. On your skin."

He pressed a kiss to the back of Ghosts soft hand. "My darling, wish I had known that, what seemed so strong. Has been and gone.."

He lifted Ghosts hand, holding it tighter. "I would call you up, every Saturday night, and we'd both stay out to the morning light." he sniffed. "And we sang 'here we go again.' he began to get memories of their first official date as a couple.

Ghost was dancing happily to the song. His smile was brighter than any of the disco lights above them. He took Toasts hand and pulled him, dancing with him.

Toast nuzzled Ghosts soft hand, burying his face into it. "And though time goes by, I will always be, in a club with you in 1973.. Singing 'here we go again'."

He didn't care that Spooker and Colin were watching him through the windows. The heart monitor for Ghost became more noticeable to him.

"My darling, wish I was sober.." his voice cracked a bit. "So I could see clearly now, the rain has gone.." tears began to cloud his vision.

His blue eyes flickered over to the radio. "My darling, I guess it's over," he held in a sob. "My memory play our tune, the same old song.."

His mind drifted to when they were planning their wedding. He remembered looking at Ghost with a full look of love in his eyes. Only to find Ghost was looking back at him.

"I would call you up, every Saturday night, then we'd both stay out to the morning light.." he smiled, remembering they would talk endlessly. His mother wouldn't be fond of their 4 hour long conversations. "And we sang, 'here we go again.' And though time goes by, I will always be in a club with you in, 1973.. Singing 'here we go again'."

He slowly moved onto the bed, still holding Ghosts hand tightly. He laid awkwardly beside his lover. But he didn't care. Some tears fell down his cheeks as he struggled to keep in his sobs.

The memory of them driving together hit him. Ghost was driving while Toast was looking out of the window. They stopped the car on a small patch of grass where the moonlight lit up the area. Toast thought it was magical. He remembered Ghost turning up the radio and moving onto his lap, kissing him roughly. Toast smiled and returned the kiss.

"I would call you up, every Saturday night, and we'd both stay out to the morning light, and we sang, 'here we go again'." he whispered softly. His lips kissed Ghosts soft brown hair as he was so close to sobbing. "And though time goes by, I will always be, in a club with you in, 1973. Singing 'here we go again'."

Tears fell down his cheeks more frequently now. He slowly wiped his eyes and nose before wrapping an arm around Ghost, holding him to his chest.

"And though time goes by, I will always be, in a club with you in, 1973.."

He held onto Ghost tightly as if he could fall away at any moment.

"Please stay with me Ghost.." He whispered to him. "I need you by my side.. I love you.."

Toast felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see a pair of green eyes.

"G-Gavin?" he sniffed.

"It's okay Johnathan. He's safe."

"N-No.." Toasts blue eyes looked over at the window to see Jimmy talking to Spooker and Colon. He was surprised to see Spooker hug Jimmy.

"Johnathan-!"

Toast shook his head. "I can't let him go.."

"Y-You won't.. Have.. T-to.. J-Johnny.."

Toast looked down to see Ghosts brown eyes looking up at him. Ghost lifted up a shaking hand and stoked Toasts tear stained cheek. He smiled softly.

"I-I love.. You.."

Toast slowly held Ghosts hand and nuzzled it. "I love you too.." he breathed. "Every day was agony sir.. Not knowing if you'd live or when you'd wake up.. I'm sorry.."

Ghost smiled softly. "It's fine.. I'm here.. It takes more than Maxwell to stop me.."

Toast smiled a bit. "I missed you.."

"I missed you too.."

Toast leaned down and gently kissed his boyfriend.

The nurse soon walked in and checked him over. He was allowed to leave the hospital in 2 days time.

And when they left, they got married.

I didn't know how to end it..

....

I teared up. James Blunt always makes me cry. Whyyyyy..

Though I do hope it made sense with the way I wrote it.

But yeah. I will see you next time.

Bye my lovely bird people.
