Mike's Hotel Room.
Mike was lying face down on his bed feeling hurt over what transpired earlier with Justin when he heard a card key slip into the lock and the door slowly opening. Justin slowly opened the door, even though he felt slight anger towards Mike for leaving him in the arena without a lift back to the hotel, he didn't want to wake him if he was asleep.
"Where have you been?" Mike mumbled still lying face down on his bed.
"Well, I kinda had to walk because somebody left me at the arena without a lift." Justin retorted with slight bitterness in his voice.
"Sorry. I forgot and left straight after my match." Mike returned with equal bitterness still lying face down.
"Well it's good to know I mean that much to you if you can forget me after about 40 minutes" Justin angrily retorted throwing his bags beside the other bed and stomping over to the bathroom.
"What do you think you are doing?" Mike said finally lifting his head off the pillow to look at Justin.
"I am going to have a shower. Is that okay with you Michael?" Justin said bitterness oozing from his voice.
"Are you serious? It's past midnight and you are going for a shower, how do expected me to sleep with the sound of the water running"?
"The way I expect anyone else to sleep, lying down on a bed, eyes cold and usually in a state of unconsciousness." Justin returned with a sarcastic smile.
"Fucking great, not going to be able to sleep for another 30 minutes or so..."
"Well if you didn't forget me and leave me to walk back to the hotel I wouldn't have to have a shower now." Justin scoffed.
Mike just groaned and lay back down, deciding it was better to try and sleep now instead of getting into a bigger argument with Justin. After about twenty minutes Mike hears the water turning off and lets out a sigh of relief. Justin walks out to find Mike sprawled across the bed, obviously to make him use the other bed. "Is he really going to be this petty about it?" Justin wondered.
"Guess I'm in the other bed tonight then." Justin muttered under his breath.
"Mmmhm, you can sleep there for the time being."
"If it wasn't so damn late I go to Wade's room and stay there. Better then having to put up with this damn tension. I don't even know why I am being punished, I did nothing wrong, you're then one who forgot me." Justin said throwing his hand in the air in surrender.
"I'm sorry but what? I do believe that you rejected me first." Mike shot up and glared at Justin.
"Oh, so this is what this is all about, because I "rejected" you. I didn't reject you Mike. I was trying to make sure we didn't get caught. You know that they don't take well to our kind of relationship." Justin argued.
"Yeah, sure you were." Mike said sarcastically.
"You know what? Fuck this. I am going to bed before things start getting thrown."
"Best thing you've said since you arrived"
Justin just ignored him and got into the other bed and fell asleep not long after. Mike just tossed and turned for hours unable to sleep so use to having the warmth of Justin beside him, but he wasn't here tonight, he was sleeping across from Mike. Mike just stared at him wishing he'd just wake so they could put their argument in the past and Justin could climb into bed with him and be able to feel his soft skin and warmth curled up beside him. Looking over at Justin and realizing that staring at him wasn't going to wake him up, he threw off his blankets and padded over to Justin's bed and knelt down beside it.
"Jay, you awake?" Mike said while gently shaking him. "Jay?"
In a sleep hazy state Justin mumbled "Hmm, wha? What time is it?"
"It's about 3:30." Mike said in a soft gentle voice.
"What are you doing up." Justin said rubbing his eyes.
"I can't sleep." Mike said resting his head on the side on Justin's bed.
"So why did you wake me up?" Justin said sitting up.
"Cause I can't sleep without you beside me." Mike mumbled, cheeks flushing.
Justin just stared at Mike slack jawed, unable to speak he just sat up further and placed his hands on either side of Mike's face and placed a soft kiss on his lips. Mike stood up and hugged him and climbed into bed with Justin, loving the feeling of Justin's warmth curled around him and his head resting on his chest.
"I'm so sorry about leaving you at the arena and I know you are were right about earlier, in the corridor." Mike apologized running his hand through Justin's hair.
"It's okay baba. It's okay. Just sleep now."
