It was now the first day of the new week. Blake and Michael were sleeping in their own beds tired after a night of passion. When they woke up they felt refreshed, last night before they went to bed they took a hot shower together. They occasionally kissed. If you're wondering if one of them dropped the soap I'm sorry to disappoint you but they just took a regular hot shower. When I say "hot" I mean they used "hot" water.
Blake was still in his bed he looked at Michael and smiled. Michael returned the smile as he got up. Michael has never felt this close to anyone before (or this sore). But he trusted Blake and hated the fact that he still had to compete against him.
They both got dressed and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. But Blake couldn't shake this strange feeling he had, it was as if he had forgotten something. The girls were up and were already making breakfast. They ate and waited for Robert to come and give them this week's theme and homework assignment.
When Robert finally showed up he told them that the theme of the week was Actability, and then gave them the homework assignment. As usual they got to work rehearsing. Every now and them Blake and Michael would make eye contact and smile. They just wanted to be alone but they knew they had to work hard to stay in the competition. This was the last week before the finally and both Blake and Michael wanted to be here next week.
Once it got late they called it a night. The girls went to their dorm and Blake and Michael went to theirs. Blake still could not remember what it was he had forgotten and it was bugging him.
"Oh yeah, you never told me who called last night." Michael asked as he undressed.
Blake did not want to tell him it was Nellie because that would just bring up his feeling for her again and Michael would ask more questions. So he did the only thing he could think of, he lied.
"Someone dialed the wrong number." Blake said with his most convincing voice.
Michael laughed and said "just think once the show airs we will be famous, that person has no idea they just called a future celebrity."
Blake laughed but only to hide how awful he felt for lying to Michael.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Michael asked.
"Yeah, I think so, but can you ever really be ready for anything on this show?" Blake replied.
"No, I guess not." Michael said as he got into bed.
Blake undressed too and again that annoying feeling crept up within him. He knew he had forgotten something but he couldn't remember what it was. That's when he slipped on the condom that was still on the floor from the night before.
Blake and Michael burst into laughter. But it was more of a silent laugh, like when you laugh so hard that no sound comes out, and at the same time you can't breathe and you turn red. That's how hard they were laughing.
Blake got up, picked up the condom, took it to the bathroom, wrapped it around with toilet paper a few times and threw it way.
He washed is hands and made his way back to the dorm. When he entered the room Michael was still in bed now ready to go to sleep. Blake closed the door behind him and turned off the lights. He made his way to Michael's bed. Then he slowly got into bed with Michael and they cuddled under the covers. A few minutes later they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Michael awoke to a kiss from Blake. The kind of kiss that made him believe that today was going to be a great day.
Today they had to perform for Robert and the mystery mentor. It was Actability week and Blake was feeling very confident.
"Good morning" Blake whispered in Michael's ear.
"Morning" Michael said back.
"Get up we're gonna be late." Blake said as he uncovered Michael. The warmth that Michael felt under the covers huddled with Blake dispersed into the room and he just felt cold.
They got in the shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, did some last minute rehearsing and then they performed for Robert and Diana Agron. The homework winner this week was Michael! He was the only one of the remaining five who had yet to win an assignment. Blake was so happy for him he wanted to kiss him and tell him how proud he was. Michael knew from the moment Blake's lips touched his that morning that this was going to be a great day.
Michael went to his mentoring session with Diana while the remaining contestants went back to their dorms, and like a proper nerd Michael had a little note pad to take notes.
When he finished the mentoring session with Diana he just wanted to go tell Blake all about it. But when he got there Blake was already sleeping. So Michael went to sleep too.
The next day they had to shoot the fake movie trailer. Blake and Michael had a very physical scene together where they had to fight for Aylin. It was hard for them to get angry, since all they felt was love for each other. But they managed to do it.
Once they wrapped they headed back to the dorm. Blake couldn't shake this strange feeling he had, he felt like this was going to be the last night he ever spent with Michael. He didn't understand why he felt this way, but he did know that someone was going home tomorrow. If it ends up being him or Michael then this would be the last night they spend alone together.
Michael was standing by his bed reading the notes he took during his mentoring session with Diana. Blake looked at him, and realized if this was their last night alone together he wanted to make the most of it, so without warning he walked up behind Michael wrapped his arms around Michael's stomach and kissed his neck. Then with one hand he grabbed Michael's note pad and threw it to the side, and with the other hand he reached down inside of Michael's jeans and grabbed him.
