*Marks POV*
                          
  I just couldn't be in there. Not now. I really wanted to just hold him and he's younger than me and we're both guys. This state looks down on sodomy. Ugh whatever I shouldn't think about that. 
                          
  I'm just gonna go get him that milkshake.
                          
*Tom's POV*
                          
   I started to tear up. I felt tears slowly fall down. The nurse walked in. "Are you alright Mr. Delonge?!" She asked rushing over.
                          
   "Mark left me. What if he's abandoning me? NEVER COMING BACK!" I shouted and was now starting to sob. "Just leave me alone. I need Mark. I need my fucking MARK!"
                          
   She rushed out.
                          
I put the pillow over my face and sunk into the uncomfortable mattress. My hard sobs now turning into light ones. I slowly started to drift off.
                          
*Mark's POV*
                          
  I finally reached the cafeteria and headed back upstairs. I finally got out of the elevator and heard someone call me name. "MR. HOPPUS!"
                          
  I spun around. "Mr. Hoppus, Mr. Delonge really needs to see you." She told me. I instantly thought of the 100 bad things of what this would possibly mean.
                          
 I quickly followed her to the room. She opened the door. 
                          
  Tom's face was covered with the pillow. "Oh my god." I said out loud. 
                          
"He's still alive Mr. Hoppus." She told me reassuringly. I nodded trying not to let those tears fall out of my eyes.
                          
  She pulled the pillow off of his face and slowly shook him. His face was stained with tears. I could see the black bags under his eyes. He was tired. And I was tired too.
                          
  He slowly opened his eyes. "Marky you came back." He said giving me a weak smile. I nodded tears blurring my vision.
                          
  "And you brought the milkshake." He added. "Just for you. Always for you." I whispered. I set the milkshake on the table by him.
                          
     "Once you are done with the milkshake you may leave. You will just need some pills for him and if he does anything unusual happens please come back." She said before nodding. I thanked her.  She smiled and walked out.
                          
 "Mark would you ever leave me?" Tom asked.
                          
 *Tom's POV*
                          
 Mark faced me tears still very slowly making their way out of his eyes.
                          
 "Tom, I've told you this a million times. I would never ever ever leave you or even THINK about leaving you." Mark told  while laying down next to me in the tiny hospital bed wrapping his arms around my waist.
                          
  I smiled. His warm body against my cold one. I smiled again. "I know I just want you to tell me that ever once in awhile so I don't feel unloved." I replied. Mark kissed my neck. "Even though we aren't officially dating I still love you and will make you feel loved." He told me playing with my fingers.
                          
  "Now how about that milkshake?" I asked breaking the silence.
                          
 We both sat up and Mark grabbed the milkshake and put two straws in the cup. We both drank some.
                          
   "This is the first actual time I have ever done this." He admitted. I smiled. "Same."
                          
 After Mark and I finished the milkshake. I decided to use the hospital's bathroom and take a shower then get dressed and finally go home.
                          
Mark signed me out and we got to leave. "So we're gonna go home and rest. Doctor's orders." Mark warned me before he closed the door for me.
                          
  I sighed. He opened his door. "BUT MARKKYYY!" I whined. "No butts. Not yet." He replied smirking. "Ew you creeper." He laughed. "You wish. I be creeping up on the booty." He said while winking at me.
                          
"Okay you've gone too far." I replied. We both laughed.
                          
 He played my mix-tape and we drove home. His hand on my hand. It was silent the whole way home but at least it was comfortable.
                          
  *Mark's POV*
                          
I really wish Tom would remember the kiss. BUT WAIT I CAN..I CAN REDO IT. I CAN BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE THIS TIME. A SECOND TIME OF A FIRST KISS HOLY SHIT I'M CRYING. 
                          
   I parked in the driveway and helped Tom get out of the car and into the house. It's weird how we Park in the Driveway. Right? Well, whatever.
                          
   "Hey Mark can I sleep?" Tom asked me. I nodded. "Sleep in my bed. Cause I'm gonna take a shower then nap. I have to keep an eye on you so yeah go make yourself comfortable I'll be there in a bit." I replied.
                          
   Tom nodded and hurried to my room.
                          
 I grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom and took a 15 minute shower which, I spent about 10 minutes thinking about Tom and how I should kiss him.
                          
Like should I kiss him before we sleep right now? I mean. When..when should I?"
                          
  *Tom's POV*
                          
   I'm so glad Mark told me to sleep in his bed. I mean it smells like him and he smells so fucking great. THE BEST PART IS IS THAT HE'S GONNA SLEEP IN IT TOO WITH ME! What if I wanna kiss him cause we'll be so close. 
                          
   I should kiss him.
