Craig tried not to cry the whole ride there. He didn't talk and he made minimum noise even though he was in pain. Tyler tried talking to him, but it was like Craig didn't even hear him. He just sat in his seat staring out the window.
When they got to the hospital Craig did the same thing. He would not talk. He stared at the floor in silence. Tears streamed down his face. Tyler glanced over at Craig. "C'mon, Mini. What's wrong?"
"You mean besides my leg?" Craig finally spoke.
"Yeah..." Tyler stared at him. Craig said nothing and went back to staring at the floor.
"Apparently the floor is more interesting than your own boyfriend." Tyler crossed his arms and looked away.
Jonathan was almost pissing himself with laughter. He thought the little joke he pulled with Mark and Sean was the best thing ever. Nobody even came close to his level. Except maybe Evan. Evan was great.
Evan had stopped laughing about 10 minutes ago. He simply smiled at his goofball of a boyfriend. Wait, boyfriend. Were they boyfriends? They've fucked, sure. They kiss and cuddle but does that make them boyfriends? Evan stopped smiling. "What are we?"
Jonathan stopped laughing and looked seriously at Evan. "We are farmers. Bum buh bum buh bum bum bum." Evan frowned and Jonathan started laughing again.
"I'm serious..." Evan looked down.
"Oh.." Jonathan stopped laughing again and stared at the boy in front of him. It was silent for a while and Jonathan licked his lips. "Well, what do you want us to be?"
"I don't know..." Evan bit his lip.
"How fucking long do we have to wait?" Tyler yelled at the receptionist.
"Please calm down, sir." The receptionist trembled a little.
Tyler noticed and lowered his voice to a harsh whisper. "I'm sorry but my boyfriend is in extreme pain.
"I understand that, sir. However there's people in front of you." Tyler threw his hands up in the air and sat back down.
A voice piped up beside him, startling him in the process. "People could be dying and they still would make you wait." Tyler turned to face the man.
"Tell me about it." Tyler chuckled.
"It's like they don't care that there are-" The man paused. "-dying people waiting!" He shouted louder as if to make a scene. He succeeded.
"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to be quiet." The receptionist glared.
"Sorry, M'am!" The guy shouted. "He then turned to Tyler. "I'm Daithi." He extended a hand towards Tyler.
Tyler smiled at the boy and shook his hand. "I'm Tyler."
"Wow, Tyler. You're a real piece of work." Craig scoffed. Tyler turned back to Craig.
"What did I do wrong?" Tyler asked.
"What didn't you do wrong?" Craig was on the verge of crying.
"Craig, what?" Tyler's brow furrowed.
Craig turned away. "Don't talk to me."
Evan and Jonathan sat on Evan's bed in his and Sean's room.
"Do you...want to be more?" Jonathan asked.
"That's the problem. If I knew what we were then I could figure out if I wanted to be more."
"Oh..." Jonathan bit his lip. "Do you want to be like...official?"
"I don't know? Do you?" Evan asked.
"Well, of course." Jonathan glanced at him.
"Really?" Evan's heart fluttered.
"Well yeah." Jonathan giggled.
"Okay, then it's official." Evan grinned.
"Will you be my boyfriend?"
"Of course." Evan laughed and was tacked on the bed and showered in kisses.
The doctor finally called Craig in. Which of course meant more waiting. The room was filled with an awkward tension. You could practically see a dark aura around the two boys. Craig was sat on the hospital bed and Tyler was standing next to him.
A man walked in. "Hello, I'm Doctor Ryan and I'll be checking you out."
"You can check me out any day, Doctor." Craig winked at the Doctor. Tyler frowned. Wasn't he supposed to be in pain? And that was his boyfriend. What the hell?
"You go by your first name? Isn't that a little unprofessional?" Tyler sneered.
"No, my last name is Ryan." Doctor Ryan corrected.
"Then what's your first name?" Craig asked, as he batted his eyelashes. Okay, what the fuck did Craig think he was doing?
"No that would be unprofessional." The doctor chuckled. "Okay, so what seems to be the problem."
"Well, Doctor I hurt my leg falling for you." Craig smirked. Okay. Tyler has had enough.
"Uh..." The doctor laughed nervously.
"What the fuck, Craig?! Why are you flirting with him when your own boyfriend is sitting right next to you?!" Tyler yelled.
"Well you were flirting with the guy in the waiting room!" Craig countered.
"We were just talking, Craig!" Tyler tried to defend himself.
"I'm just going to step outside..." The doctor said as he hurried out the door.
"Oh please! I know flirting when I see it!" Craig was on the verge of crying again.
"I would never do that to you! I love you, Mini! " Tyler stopped and blinked. Did he really just say that?
"You love me?" Craig asked. No longer shouting.
"Well yeah..."
"You've never said that before." Craig chewed on his bottom lip.
"Well, I love you. You're my boyfriend after all." Tyler smiled softly at Craig
"I love you too, Tyler." Tyler walked over to Craig and put his hands on both sides of Craig's face. He bent down and kissed his nose. He placed a kiss on his cheek, then to the side of his mouth, and finally on his lips. Craig grinned stupidly against Tyler's mouth.
"You're squishing my leg."
