Missing You
Disclaimer: No own
Shawn tried onto his stomach sullenly, burying his face in the pillow and inhaling the scent of his lover. It made him miss the man more. He inhaled again, closing his eyes and imagining he was right there beside him. He imagined being held tight in strong arms, but when he opened his eyes again, he felt lonelier than ever. Shawn couldn't bare it any longer. He picked up his cell phone and pressed the speed dial
A sleepy voice answered on the other end.
"I miss you." Shawn said immediately.
"Shawn, baby. Its 3:00am." his tired lover mumbled.
"I know. I can't sleep. I miss you. I'm lonely." Shawn whispered, tears forming in his eyes.
"Oh Shawny, I know. I miss you too. Vince gave me next weekend off. I can come see you then."
"That long?" Shawn cried softly.
"Shhh I know its hard Baby but we can get through this. Don't worry, everything will be ok." his lover promised.
"It hurts being away from you Hunter." Shawn whimpered.
"I know Baby. How's your knee?" Hunter asked, sitting up in his bed.
"Sore." Shawn sniffed, trying to stop crying.
"Awww I wish I could be there to help you. Have you been sleeping ok? And eating?" Hunter inquired, worriedly.
"Not really." Shawn admitted.
"Shawn, you're not gonna get better if you don't eat or sleep." Hunter admonished.
"I know. I just miss you. The bed still smells like you. I don't wanna leave it." Shawn tried to explain.
"Hush Baby. Close your eyes. Just listen to my voice until you fall asleep." Shawn did as he was told and Hunter talked to him quietly until he heard snoring. He switched off his phone and lay down, trying to fall asleep too. He however, unlike Shawn, diod not manage this feat. He sighed, sat back up, and opened his phone; dialing a few numbers.

Shawn didn't sleep long. He was wide awake only an hour after falling asleep. He lay on his side, taking in the lingering scent of his Hunter. He hugged his pillow miserably, burying his face in it. As he imagined Hunter's face, he felt arms encircle him. He rolled over quickly, coming face to face with the man himself.
"Hunter?" he whispered, hugging the man's neck tightly.
"Hey Baby. Didn't sleep long did you?"
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Ohio." he croaked, his emotions nearly overwelming him.
"I called Vince and told him I had somewhere more important to be. You sounded so depressed on the phone, I couldn't wait till next weekend." Hunter told him, brushing Shawn's bangs out of his face.
"Thank you." Shawn said, laying his head on his lover's shoulder.
"Besides, I was missing you too much anyway. Now go to sleep. We want that knee to heal real fast so you can get back on the road." Shawn fell asleep in Hunter's arms, knowing that as much as he missed him, Hunter would aways come back to him.
