Megamind's hand fumbled instinctively the other side of the bed and his eyes flew open when he realized there was no one sleeping next to him.
He glanced the clock in panic and cursed himself. It was 6:34 am, he had fallen asleep before Wayne had arrived. Or had he arrived even yet?
Cautiously he turned around and let out a relieved sigh when he noticed the sheets beside him were rumpled. At least he had visited at home but where was he now? It was still very early to wake up.
"Wayne?" He asked quietly but there was no answer.
"Wayne are you at home?" He asked a little louder but there was only silence.
Carefully he got out of the bed and headed towards the door of the bedroom. His steps echoed in the empty apartment when he pasted the living room and entered the kitchen. He turned the light on and squinted when the bright light suddenly filled the room.
"Wayne?" He whispered but instead of the hero there was a light yellow post-it note lying on the table.
"Had to go to work. Have a nice day. –Wayne."
Megamind read the note and he couldn't help it but the wave of mixed disappointment and rage swept over him. Angrily he squeezed the note and threw it against the wall.
'Couldn't that man invent any other excuse than work?!' He thought furiously while he left the kitchen and headed to the bathroom.
'Does he really think I'm so stupid I'll buy that?' He pondered and took off his shirt and boxers before he stepped underneath the shower and turned the faucet on.
'Why he even bothered to come home if he had such a hurry away? Is he trying to keep up the act of being a faithful boyfriend? Has he ever been?' The thought made Megamind's heart ache painfully. 'What if it had always been only play, their relationship.. What if he hadn't ever loved him really..?'
Megamind couldn't help but soon the hopeless tears were mixing with the running water. 'Had he ever meant anything for the hero? Or had it always been unrequited? Is he only playing with me?' He thought sadly and turned the faucet off.
'Am I only overreacting? We had such a nice moments when we started to date..' He tried to convince himself while drying his body. 'Maybe he's got bored with me?'
'What's wrong with me?' He thought sadly and stepped before the mirror examining his reflection. Maybe it was his appearance, what if Wayne didn't find him attractive anymore?
'Am I too thin? Should I get some muscles?' He wondered and touched his chest and abdomen hesitantly. 'Should I look more like him? He's so muscular himself..' Carefully he turned around and examined his back of the body with furrowed brow.
'Maybe it's my butt. It's a little flat, isn't it? Maybe I should try some workout..'
Quietly he left the bathroom and headed to the bedroom. He dressed his usual spandex suit and watch, selecting a certain button on the dial and pressed it.
"Minion, Code: Get me some exercise equipment."
"But Sir, you don't.."
"Code: Just do it!" He snapped in the watch and headed to the main door and outside where he jumped in his invisible car and gassed away.
…
"Oh God, what happened to you?" Wayne gasped when he entered the bedroom and found Megamind lying on the bed and holding an ice pack against his left eye.
"Nothing.." He muttered quietly and stared at the ceiling.
"Let me see." Wayne said and leapt on the bed next to him, moving the ice pack little so he could see his eye. "Ouch.." He winced when he saw how badly the eye had swollen and there was a pretty bruise encircling it. "What exactly were you doing?"
"Just a little accident with a kettlebell.. No big deal.."
"Kettlebell? But you don't work out." Wayne blurted out sounding puzzled and stared at Megamind with wide eyes.
"Yeah and today I just remembered why.." Megamind told bitterly.
"Oh.. You.." He started to snicker.
"Don't mock at me!" Megamind snapped and gave a stern look at him.
"I.. I just can see it in my mind. You with a kettlebell.." He couldn't continue because he burst into laughter.
Megamind stared at him with painful expression. He couldn't understand why he was laughing at him. He had done it because of him so he could look better in his eyes, that he could find him more attractive. But instead he was only mocking at him and laughing at his poor effort to please him.
'Doesn't he understand I have feelings..? Doesn't he understand every laugh is like a stab in my heart?' Megamind thought offended and tried to hold tears which were glistening in the corner of his eyes. He wasn't going to cry in front of him. Quietly and sadly he turned on his right side so his back was facing Wayne.
His laugh faded immediately.
"I'm sorry.." He said regretfully and placed his hand on Megamind's shoulder.
"Whatever.." Megamind muttered.
"It's just kind of comical imagine you to work out with kettlebell." He told softly and petted his shoulder.
"I got the point.." Megamind stated sharply.
"Hey. Don't take it so seriously. It was just a joke." He said casually. "I'm going to shower."
Megamind felt how he got up from the bed and heard how his steps echoed when he headed towards the bathroom.
He turned on his back and let out a deep sigh while he closed his eyes. He listened the sound of running water and wondered where their relationship was going. What was the point of it? Why was Wayne laughing at him? He could have hurt himself worse. What if he had broken his nose or lost the vision of the left eye? Had he laughed then?
Maybe he should break up with him, Megamind thought sadly. They hardly see each other nowadays and when they saw it always ended up like this. He either offended or disappointed.
Megamind knew deep in his heart the break up would be only reasonable alternative in their relationship and he was sure it would happen sooner or later but he couldn't help it he loved Wayne so much.
Four months ago everything had been fine, he was so happy and in love with him and thought it would never change. If he had known how the things would turn he would never have started to date with him, he'd never have moved together with him. If he had known..
He was suffering in their relationship and knew he'd disappoint over and over again but he couldn't help it he wanted every time believe his words, believe everything would turn better, believe he still loved him though his acts were telling something else.
He knew he was lying to himself and his heart was bleeding every time even more because of the empty promises and lies Wayne was telling to him but he god damn loved him so much!
He felt how the mattress moved below him and soon he felt how strong and muscular hands wrapped around him and pulled him closer.
"I'm sorry.." Wayne whispered into his ear and rocked him gently back and forth in his arms.
Megamind didn't say anything, instead he enjoyed how his body was feeling against his, how good it felt when he was holding him tightly against his warmth. How much he had missed this.
"How was your day?" Megamind asked quietly and pressed his cheek against Wayne's chest.
"Nothing special." Wayne answered shortly.
"You've been whole day away, I guess you have something to tell.." Megamind said sharply with furrowed brow. He knew he was playing with fire but he just had to know, he needed to know was he really working or was it just an excuse.
"What do you mean? It's been just as ordinary work day as always. All basic things." He shrugged but Megamind noticed he was acting a little bit uneasy. He was clearly hiding something.
"Why can't you tell? Come on, just one case. I'd love to hear what my hero boyfriend has done all day long?" He pled and smiled at him gently.
"Megamind, I'm really stressed. I really don't want to talk about my work right now." He sighed sounding irritated.
"Well.. Could I ease that stress somehow?" Megamind asked seductively and shifted so he could reach Wayne's neck with his mouth. He started to kiss it playfully, nibbling the soft skin casually while his hand pasted his chest and wandered on his abdomen. He was just edging his fingers underneath his shirt when Wayne grabbed his hand and shoved it away.
"Not now Megamind. I'm really tired.." He sighed and pushed Megamind further before he turned on his left side so his back was facing Megamind who was looking at him with eyes full of hurt.
'He rejected me.." Megamind thought offended. They hadn't had sex for weeks, actually months and now when he was making a suggestion he pushed him away. 'He doesn't want me anymore.. He surely has someone else.. Someone better.'
Why did he have to ask how was his day? If he hadn't he could still be in his arms and feel at least one moment he still loved him. Why was he so stupid he had to ask?
"Did you forget something?" Megamind asked gently, trying to hide a painfulness in his voice.
"Oh, yeah.." Wayne muttered and reached to turn off the light which was standing on a nightstand.
Megamind looked at him abashed and tried to hold tears.
'I did mean a good night kiss..' He thought sadly and picked the ice pack back in his hand, pressing it against his swollen eye.
He closed his eyes and started to wait a sleep. Maybe tomorrow could be better.
