You know you want to review! :)
They both entered the house, still holding each other, and wandered sleepily to the couch. The second they sat down they both found themselves incredibly reluctant to stand up. Luckily, with the last days having been so hectic, there were sweatpants, a t-shirt of Michelle's, and a pair of boxers in a laundry basket that had been brought to the living room, its contents intending to be folded but instead remaining in their basket. Michelle wordlessly reached to the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head. He slipped his pants off, and she handed him the sweatpants. He pulled them on and turned to face her. She had drifted back into the couch and closed her eyes. He gently unbuttoned the buttons on her shirt and slid it off her shoulders. She opened her eyes and smiled weakly at him. He handed her a t-shirt, and then unbuttoned her pants as she finished putting it on. She slid them off and grabbed a pair of his boxers from the basket of clean clothes and slipped them on. Tony stood up and turned the light off, then returned and cuddled back into her. Tony lay down behind her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her body slightly more on top of his so that her head was resting right below his neck. She intertwined her fingers with the hands wrapped around her body. Tony moved one hand to grab a blanket and pulled it over them, then putting it back into hers and around her body. He leaned up slightly, propping his head over hers, and kissed her on the lips.
"I love you Michelle," he said gently.
"I love you," she whispered softly, as her voice faded and her eyes closed, leaving a serene look on her face.
Within seconds they were both sleeping soundly, both satisfied to be wrapped in the other's arms and with the knowledge that they loved each other.
Tony woke up to a pounding on the door. He squinted his eyes and noticed Michelle still asleep. Not wanting her to wake up too, he quickly removed himself from under her. He paused looking at her sleeping form, but was swiftly returned to reality as he heard the knocking again. He went over, squinting slightly at the bright light, and answered the door.
"Morning," said Jack, accompanied by Chase, Kim, and two girls and one guy from CTU.
The girls knew Tony and Michelle. They had come along to make sure they were okay. They were the ones that Michelle would chat to, but they never really socialized outside of work. Even in the present situation, both girls were surprised at seeing Tony topless. Before Michelle and Tony got engaged all the girls, Michelle included, used to talk about how attractive they found him. Little did they know that Michelle had been dating him. After they got engaged, the girls had badgered Michelle with questions, wanting to know if he was as dreamy and sexy as they had imagined. She had told them yes, and now, getting a good look at him, they realized she had been completely on the dot.
"Shh," Tony said, "Michelle's still asleep."
He motioned them in, and they all walked into the kitchen and T.V. room. Tony crept up to Michelle and brushed a piece of hair out of her face, stroking the part of her skin that his hand had grazed across with his thumb. He leant down and kissed her gently on the lips. She made a little noise indicating that she was beginning to wake up.
"Sweetheart," he said softly, "Baby wake up, people are here."
She sleepily opened her eyes and smiled slightly at his face so close to hers. He sat down on the edge of the couch and pulled her body into a sitting position. She leaned her forehead sleepily on his shoulder, rubbing her eyes. She turned to look at their company.
"Jack, what the hell are you doing here so early?" she asked, but in a way that anybody who knew her well enough would know that she wasn't actually mad, just a little bit annoyed.
Jack grinned at her acting annoyed.
"It's one in the afternoon. Besides, we brought food."
"Which is the one reason I let you in," said Tony jokingly.
"Hey guys," said Michelle more nicely as she turned and put her feet on the ground.
Tony suddenly become aware of the fact that he wasn't wearing a shirt, and hastily reached down and grabbed his from the night before. Michelle noticed this and instead handed him a clean t-shirt from the basket. They began to chat as Tony pulled the shirt over his head and then leaned back on the couch and held her hand. They all voiced their happiness that Tony had gotten off without any prison time.
"I'm starving," said Tony suddenly.
"Let's eat," said Chase.
"I'm just going to go and change," said Michelle, standing up and walking back into her and Tony's bedroom to put on a pair of comfortable jeans.
When Michelle walked back in Tony and some of the others had already started on the beer. She walked up behind him where he was sitting on a stool in the kitchen and ran her hand up the back of his shoulder and onto his arm. He glanced at her and handed her his beer. She took a swig and then put it back in his hand. They all took their food and ate hungrily, talking and laughing all the while. Soon after they finished eating Tony excused himself to go and change. When he reappeared he was dressed in jeans and a sweater that looked absolutely gorgeous on him. He came over to the couch and slumped down next to Michelle, who intertwined her fingers in his. They stayed talking for a little while. While everybody went into the kitchen to get snacks and more beer, Michelle spread out on the couch. Within moments she was fast asleep. Tony walked back in with a couple of the others and smiled.
"She's a little tired," said Tony, grinning.
"Should we go?" asked one of the girls.
"No, its fine," said Tony.
He reached under her legs and her back and lifted her into his arms. In her sleep, Michelle draped one arm over his shoulder and rested her head on his chest. Tony kissed the top of her head while walking around to the back of the couch on his way to their bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed and rested her head on the pillow. He put a blanket over her and then kissed her softly on the lips before closing the door quietly behind him and going back to the couches, his thoughts still on her flawless face.
