Let's Go Out On The Town! (GERARD/TEUFEL/CLOSED)

Gerard's smile covered his face. That smile was all he needed. He felt like the luckiest man alive. It was like all he needed was Teufel. This was new to him. He never needed anyone. Perhaps his servants, but they weren't NEEDED, just appreciated. His eyes met Teufel's again as he asked how Gerard had been doing.

"It has been quite some time. Well, to make a long story short, I found that there was a man that knew something about my parents' murder, but he was killed. Perhaps someone else may find something. I was hoping I might speak with your acquaintance, the one you mentioned when we were in the Jacuzzi so long ago, and perhaps hire a private investigator. And you, my dear Teufel! What have you been doing all this time?"

Gerard nodded then frowned. He did blame himself quite a bit. Perhaps if he hadn't of left, Teufel would be fine. Wait, what if there was still hope?

"What did your doctor say? Was it for sure permanent paralization?" ((Totally a word >_>)) A look of hope covered his face. Gerard made a mental note to get a doctor he was paying to look Teufel over again to see if there was anything that could be done. If there was, Gerard vowed to find it.

Gerard's frown rested back on his face followed by one of understanding, serene acceptance. He placed his hand over Teufel's. "Oh Teufel, That never mattered to me. As long as you are OK.... That's all that matters." He would pause blinking back tears. "You mean the world to me, Teufel. I really hope that you don't think that I am only here to get something from you. Even if you were catatonic, I wouldn't leave your side. I won't do it again, I promise. I am so sorry I left before. Maybe if I hadn't...." Gerard would trail off blinking back more tears. "I'm so sorry, Teufel." He would squeeze Teufel's hand. He wand to pull him into an embrace, but didn't want to make Teufel feel like he was being forced into something he didn't want.

((OOC: I am trying out a new style of posting just to see if I like it.))

((OOC: No problem. I have been busy too. Just got Halo 5. That plus Chloe's first Halloween. Take yer time bruh!))

Gerard would blink a few times. His fault? How could it have been? Wait... He... He wants to stay with me, too? Does that mean...?
Gerard would let the though linger as Teufel buried his head in Gerard's chest. He hugged back and sighed in relief and relaxation.
This just feels right. This is where he belongs. Here, where I can protect him. Oh, Teufel. If... If I could only say what I feel... If I could just tell you everything. But I fear what it may bring about if I do...
I really hope he knows this is coming straight from my heart.
Gerard's hands found Teufel's and shakily held them; his eyes met with Teufel's. If Teufel searched them, he'd find they were alight with a fiery gaze. One full of passion and sincerity.
I don't know how to say it right... But Teufel, will you please grant me the pleasure of being my one and only? Will you stay by my side through thick and thin? I would be most honoured if you would be forever mine. Will you be my Boyfriend?
Gerard would hold his breath waiting for Teufel to reply. Praying to whatever God was listening that he would say yes.

((OOC: Sorry that last line came out waaay too cheesy. ))

Gerard could hardly hold in his excitement. He nearly jumped out of his seat. "Really?! You will? Oh that is wonderful Teufel! I am indeed the most lucky Man on the Earth!" His face would flush and he would sit down quickly. Reaching over to pick up the glasses he spilled he'd apologize. "I am sorry. I could not stop myself. You have made me a happy man indeed. There truly is not much that could make this moment better." Gerard would hug Teufel again. "I will never leave you again unless you send me away." Gerard would lower his head and place a light kiss on Teufel's forehead.

((OoC: Sorry for the long pause.))

((OOC: I really don't know what to add on here. If you'd allow, I'd like to join in my NPC {PI} in to the thread to further Gerard's story? If you don't want to, I can delete this post.))

Gerard's phone buzzed. Picking it up he saw a number he did not recognize. "Please excuse me Teufel. I... This may be important."



If Teufel listens close enough he will be able to hear both sides of the conversation. After the call, Gerard would hand the phone to Stefan and sit back at the table. "Sorry that was my Private investigator. He was calling to confirm my interest in him. Where were we? Ah, yes." He would refill and lift his glass. "To us. May we have a long endearing relationship and may we be blessedly free of any and all hardships along the road we travel together, now and always."

Gerard sipped the juice and pursed his lips as he swallowed. "Teufel, I... I want to do something for you. I hope you will humor me. I want to see if there is anyway we can have you walking again. Perhaps you didn't see a doctor that studied enough. Perhaps there could still something that can be done. Would you be willing to try? Gerard hoped he hadn't stepped on a Teufel's feet. He wanted him to feel right as rain. But, if Teufel did not want to try, he would leave it at that.
Stefan stepped up to Gerard and handed him back his phone saying in a low tone, "The transfer has gone through." Gerard nodded and thanked him.
