Summary- Mark is offered a chance to grant one of his greatest desires, one he has longed for. What happens when a simple wish that seemed so harmless becomes not so flawless? Slash.

I have 15 days left of school, then I'm done high school, it's so scary. Technically I graduate on Monday though. So yeah. Busy with life at the moment. Hopefully once summer starts I'll be updating more frequently.

Glenn walked out the backdoor walking along the old trail, he followed the graveled pathway for a little ways until he reached the old barn which him and Mark had rebuilt. Glenn walked into the old barn, he could make out the sounds of frustrated grunts and the sound of skin smacking against leather. Glenn sighed he should have known. Stepping forward he frowned at the sight of Mike beating an old punching bag that hung from the old, sturdy rafters. Mike was slick with sweat as he continued to work not acknowledging Glenn. Glenn could see tears shining in Mike's eyes; he felt his heart break at the sight of his baby in pain. It was one of sights he wished he never had to see.

"Mike!" Glenn called out, Mike stilled for a nano second before he continued to beat the bad senseless. Glenn shook his head and walked over to the old benched that lined the far side of the barn. He dug around for a minute before pulling a boxing shield pad and a boxing glove on. He walked over to Mike and pulled the punching bag out of Mike's reach. Mike hissed in protest and tried to grab it back.

"Leave me alone." Glenn frowned and shook his head.

"Not likely." Glenn growled before standing in front of Mike, Glenn raised the blocker and gestured for Mike to hit him.

"Go away." Mike snapped as he tried to move around Glenn to get to the punching bag but Glenn blocked his path.

"Hit me! Come on Michael I know you're angry and hurt, so hit me." Mike stared back at him, Glenn and him had sparred and trained before together but it always turned sexual and in the end Mark usually ended up walking in on them. Poor Mark had seen enough of their bare asses to last him a life time.

"Hit me!" Mike jumped and instinctively threw his fist forward smacking the shield pad; Glenn nodded and encouraged Mike to do it again. Mike punched it again, sighing out a deep breath before getting more into. Throwing his whole body into it Mike started to punch the pad and Glenn reciprocated to Mike's actions, making Mike work for it.

"Keep going." Glenn encouraged, he could see the anger and frustration in Mike's shinning eyes, and the bluish-grey eyes were lined once more with tears. None dared to fall.

The two continued their little play for a little while before Mike started to sag and his hit were no longer as forceful as they had been, Mike's shoulders sag as he gave one more hit and then his legs gave out from under him as he collapsed to the ground. Mike made a choked sound as one lone tear fell. And just like that a flood started. Mike collapsed in on himself as he let his feelings take over him.

Glenn rolled his neck and closed his eyes for a minute before un-velcroing the protector and the boxing glove his wore, he set them aside and he got down on his knees in front of Mike. Grasping one of Mike's arms he undid the velcro on the left hand, sliding the glove off tossing it aside with his own equipment, he did the same to the right before grasping both the hands and held them in his own hands. His hands swallowing Mike's as they shook in his grasp. Glenn didn't speak as Mike let out his sorrows he just sat there letting Mike know he was there.

Mike's tears slowed into a soft hiccuping sobs and faded into sniffles eventually. Glenn pulled his love into his arms and cuddled the younger man.

Glenn eventually stood and carried Mike out of the barn, following the trail back to the house. Walking into the house he didn't see Mark or his house guest anywhere, Glenn shrugged and walked up to his bedroom that Mike and he shared. Glenn set the younger man on the bed and gently cupped Mike's cheeks. Blood shot eyes stared back at him, Mike bit his lip as Glenn gently rubbed his thumbs over the dried tear tracks.

"Give me a minute, sweetheart." Mike nodded and waited patiently as Glenn walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Glenn shuffled something's around in the bathroom before turning on the water to drain into the bath tub. He waited patiently for it to fill half way before adding some vanilla and lavender bath salts and oils that he knew Mike secretly enjoyed. He grabbed the lighter from one of the cupboards and lit the few candles that were in the bathroom. Glenn turned the taps off once the tub had filled and checked the bathroom once more before going back out into the bedroom to collect Mike.

Mike sat on the bed waiting for Glenn to come back. Glenn held a hand out to Mike.

"Come with me, sweetheart." Mike nodded and crossed the room over to Glenn. Glenn pushed the bathroom door open and gestured for Mike to enter. Mike did so with a small gasp as he took in the sight before him.

"Pretty." Mike whispered as he turned to Glenn, Glenn smiled at him and reached for the hem of Mike's shirt. Mike raised his arms and let Glenn disrobe him. Mike's shorts fell to a pool at his ankles, his underwear followed a second later. Mike stood on his tippy toes and reached up to wrap his arms around Glenn's neck. Glenn smiled down at his love, and kissed Mike's nose. Mike's eyes went crossed eyed for a second before meeting Glenn's eyes.

"Join me?" Mike whispered Glenn smiled.

"Of course."Glenn stripped off his clothes and lead Mike over to the edge of the tub, Glenn helped Mike into the just right temperature water before getting in himself. Glenn sat down with his back resting against the tub; Mike sat down between his legs with his back against Glenn's chest. Glenn wrapped his arms around Mike and hugged him tight, Mike moaned and adjusted his weight slightly his head lolled back rest against Glenn's shoulder.

"Thank you." Mike whispered in the silence that had washed over them. Glenn kissed Mike's temple, the younger man's eyes closed in peace.

"You don't have to thank me; I'd do anything for you." Mike nodded and linked his fingers with Glenn's that rested on the younger man's stomach.

"I know."

"I love you.

"I love you too." Mike whispered as the silence washed over them once again.
