"Megamind, I really don't have time for this right now." Wayne stated while he was buttoning a white dress shirt.

Megamind sat on the edge of the bed and watched how he was getting ready for Metro City's annual gala night where they reward the most important people of the city like policymakers, benefactors, entertainers and businessmen not to mention their own and beloved hero.

"I just wanted to know how're you doing." Megamind said quietly, sulky expression on his face. Their relations had been very tense and awkward after the kettlebell accident and Megamind had done everything to contact Wayne somehow. He had tried to talk to him, touch him briefly or at least be in the same room with him but he felt like Wayne was only floating further and further away from him. Always when Megamind asked something the answer he got was an irritated growl or quiet mutter. It seemed the nearer this night came he became more nervous and stressed.

He observed how Wayne was tying a tie and thought what he should do for their relationship. He couldn't help but Wayne's behavior was making him feel extremely anxious and exhausted not to mention it was reflecting on his health. He had suffering from sleep deprivation and he had lost his appetite. When he looked in the mirror it seemed like he had aged years. He had thought about to break up with him every single day but he just couldn't. It seemed he loved him so much he was ready to wilt away.

"Why are you so nervous? You're gone through dozens of that kind of party." Megamind demanded. He couldn't understand why this night would be different.

"I'm not nervous!" Wayne snapped while he was dressing a tuxedo. "I really don't have time to argue with you, I'm already late."

"And that's probably my fault.." Megamind muttered bitterly but Wayne had already picked his keys and soon there was a loud smash when he slammed the door closed behind him.

Silence fell in the empty apartment until Megamind's deep sigh broke it. Why he was ready to tolerate this? He was already playing with his well-being, why couldn't he just leave?

He slouched to the living room and collapsed on the couch. He picked the remote and opened the TV, choosing the channel which was broadcasting show from the gala night.

During old good days he would have crash those party.

'Maybe I should become evil again to get his attention..' He thought melancholically while he was blankly staring at the screen. Seeing these happy people on the screen made him feel even miserable. Like everyone else had right to be happy but him. What had he done to deserve this?

His thoughts were interrupted when familiar figure appeared on the screen and Megamind was sure his heart skipped a beat when he saw Wayne on his suit. 'Damn, he looks gorgeous. Hot actually..'

He was talking with a middle-aged man with short brown hair who was apparently host of the gala. They were talking about some basic things concerning Wayne's job as a hero. Megamind didn't pay a lot of attention for the conversation, he was totally lost staring at his good-looking boyfriend.

'When was the last time he smiled at me like this?' He wondered wistfully and let out a deep sigh. He didn't know why but seeing him on the screen made him miss Wayne even more. He was acting totally different, not at all like at home. He wished so much they could fix the things between them. He didn't want to lose him. Despite of everything he still loved him.

He was watching dreamily Wayne's soft lips which were moving on the screen, his gaze wandered on his chin, neck.. How much he wanted to wrap his arms around his body and nuzzle that neck. He felt how a warm wave swept over him when he remembered how it felt to feel his lips against his, how it felt when his hands were wandering on his bare skin...

Instinctively he brought his fingers on his neck and stroked it lightly. He let out a soft moan and felt how a pleasant shiver went through his whole body. 'I miss his touch so much..'

He closed his eyes and touched his neck again, letting his fingers trail on his throat and down on his chest. They were halfway on his abdomen when the conversation on the screen made him stop and pay his attention towards the screen.

"Well, I guess everyone in the city, especially ladies, yearns to know what our hero does in his free time. If we remember right you and Miss Ritchi broke up about year ago" The host asked grinning.

"Yeah. That's true." Wayne said calmly and smiled at man in front of him.

"So, may I ask directly, is there someone special lady waiting you at home?" The man asked enthusiastically waiting for Metro Man's answer.

Megamind could hear how his heart was beating loudly when he waited for Wayne's answer.

"Say it Wayne.. Tell them the truth.." He whispered to screen and felt how his hands were sweating. It felt like time had stopped. Then Wayne's lips parted and he said it.

"No." He said and shook his head. "There's no one waiting me at home." He smiled casually for the cameras.

Megamind was sure his heart broke down totally by those words. He grabbed the remote and shut the TV. He was totally shocked. 'No. There's no one waiting me at home.' He couldn't believe it.

Slowly he got up from the couch and slouched back to the bedroom as he was in a trance.

'No. There's no one waiting me at home.' He burrowed under the blanket.

'No. There's no one waiting me at home.' Wayne's sentence was repeating itself on his mind he was sure it would lose the meaning. Megamind felt like he had paralyzed, he could not move or say anything. He was so shocked he couldn't even cry.

'He doesn't love me..' He thought sadly while staring at the clock on his nightstand. 'It's over. For good.'

His heart was aching painfully in his chest and he was sure he would die.

'No. There's no one waiting me at home.'

Their relationship was flashing furiously before his eyes. The first date, the first kiss, their first time, when he said he loved him for the very first time, all dates, nights they spent together, all the fights and arguments, empty promises, he laughing at him..

'No. There's no one waiting me at home.'

Why had he been so stupid? Why hadn't he left times ago? This was his fault. Why he was so stupid he went to fall in love?

He heard how the front door opened and tensed. He listened how Wayne went first to the bathroom before he sneaked in the bedroom and started to strip off his clothes.

'That's your last chance Wayne. If you still love me or have ever loved show it now. Please, wrap your arms around me and give me a hug or kiss my cheek softly. Touch me at least lightly with your fingertip.. Just do something I can feel you care about.. Please.' Megamind wished desperately.

He felt how Wayne laid down on the bed but instead of any touch he could soon hear soft snoring. He had fallen asleep.

'That's it.' Megamind thought sadly. 'It's over now. Our relationship.. I'll vanish immediately in the morning.. It's best for both of us..'

With these thoughts came the tears and he cried quietly himself to hopeless sleep.
