Too Long

Disclaimer: If I owned Shawn, he'd be locked away in my basement. But I don't, so he's not. :D. Oh, I don't own HHH either. :)

Shawn sat down on his bed, rubbing his temples. His whole body was tense and sore. He jumped when he felt hands on his shoulders.

"Easy, its just me Shawn." Hunter soothed, massaging Shawn's tense neck and shoulders. Shawn relaxed and let his friends ease his aches and pains.

"Geez Shawn." Hunter exclaimed. "You've got knots the size of bowling balls in here."

"Its been a stressful couple of weeks." Shawn muttered. "I haven't gotten alot of sleep and I've had alot of headaches."

Hunter stopped massaging him and sat beside his friend.

"You've been having headaches? You've been looking under the weather lately. You should take some time off before you collapse." Hunter said worriedly.

"I can't Hunt. Not with this big angle Vince has stuck me in. I'll just have to hope I can make it through until its over." Shawn sighed. Hunter made his descision.

"Shawn, do you remember the old days? Before you got hurt?"

"Hunter I know where you're going. We can't. I don't want to hurt you again." Shawn interupted.

"Shawn that wasn't your fault. You need this. You need someone to take care of you on the road. Someone to help you relax and unwind." Hunter put his arm around the man beside him.

"I've missed you. I miss sleeping next to you every night, holding you in my arms. I miss waking up next to you even with your grumpy-ass attitude. I miss making love to you. I miss letting you cry on my shoulder and comforting you after. I miss kissing you. I miss everything about you. I still love you and I want my Angel back." Shawn was speachless.

"Hunter I..." Shawn's reserve broke. He fell into Hunter's embrace and started to cry.

"I missed you so much." he sobbed. "I dream about you holding me, forgiving me. I never wanted to hurt you. I swear."

"Shhh." Hunter soothed, rubbing the older man's back. 'What hurt me most was to see you hurting. Seeing you beat yourself up about it damn near broke my heart."

"I won't do it again Hunter, I promise." Shawn told him, trying to stop the tears from flowing.

"Hush, I know you won't. Hush now. Its over, we're moving on." Hunter held Shawn tightly.

"Hunter will you kiss me?" Shawn asked softly as he wiped the tears off his face.

"You don't even have to ask." Hunter brought their lips together and Shawn gasped at the heat of it. Hunter used this opprotunity to slip his tongue into Shawn's mouth, tracing the side of Shawn's face with his fingers. He ran his tongue over the roof of Shawn's mouth, remapping the trail he knew so well. Shawn moaned and they had to break away for air. Hunter held the gasping blond in his arms.

"Its been too long." Shawn said when he'd recovered.

"Way too long." Hunter agreed, their mouths meeting again, tongues dancing a familar dance that they'd thought had been long forgotten.

"Make me yours again Hunter." Shawn whispered as they broke apart again. "Make love to me like you used to."

"My pleasure Angel."

THE END!
