AN: Future fic in which Shane's dance company is on tour.

Reed had just started to doze off into a fitful sleep when he heard his phone buzz on the pillow next to him. He reached out to grab it after it continued to buzz. Reed looked at the screen and saw Shane's name. He pressed 'Accept' as he wiped away the tears that had started falling again.

"H-hello?" he winced at how pathetic his voice sounded. Reed heard some shuffling and what sounded like a door closing before Shane finally spoke.

"I-we just got to the hotel." Reed sniffled before wiping his eyes and nose, rolling over onto his side. He pinned the phone between his ear and the pillow before hugging Shane's pillow to his chest.

"Everything work out f-fine? You get there without any problems?" Shane sighed into the phone, trying to stay strong, but he was slowly breaking at the sound of Reed's voice. He looked down at the parking lot below the balcony of his and his roommates room.

"We got here just fine. Tomorrow's our first practice and Friday we perform. Then it's off to the next city." He sat down in one of the plastic sun chairs that was laying out. Reed started to toy with the edge of the pillowcase in his arms.

"I miss you already." Reed sniffed and hiccupped at the same time, wiping his face on the corner of the blanket. He mentally reminded himself that he would need to wash the bed sheets tomorrow at this rate, but that just made the tears fall harder at the thought of washing away Shane's scent. Shane heard Reed's breakdown and his own tears started to cloud his vision.

"Reed baby. I d-don't have to stay." Shane brushed his hand across his eyes roughly.

"No. I'm ok, I promise. I want you to do this." Reed sat up, moving to sit in the middle of both their spots on the bed. "It's just for the s-summer, I'll be fine. It's just going to take awhile to…Get used to." Shane looked into the room, his roommate motioning to him that it was close to lights out.

"I love you, don't ever forget that. I have to go in a little bit because of lights out, but I'll call you as soon as I get up for breakfast tomorrow. Does that sound good?" Shane chewed on the inside of his cheek, not wanting to leave Reed in the state he was currently in.

"I love you too, and it's not like I won't see you until the tour's over. I'll see you when you stop in New York." Reed laid back down on Shane's side of the bed and cuddled his pillow again. "Shane?"

"Yeah?" Shane looked at the time, only having a few minuets left.

"Will you sing me something?"

"Anything for you." He thought for a second before singing softly.

"I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me

And just forget the world?"

Shane heard Reed breathing softly into the phone, letting him

know he had fallen asleep. He smiled softly and stood up to go into the room. "Sweet

dreams."
