A short, little story of two boys who fell in love over a sandbox, under the stars, at a hospital bed and everywhere in between. "I couldn't forget you even if I tried. I've had you on my mind since we were five, and loved you ever since throughout the years." (Note: I do not own the characters, and please keep in mind that this is a work of fiction and not reality.
