When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

4. you should see me in a crown

what.

"what do you mean?" Mick asked confused. "You said that we aren't dating yet." And that was exactly what Mick had said just moment ago. "No really oh gosh it was a mistake." Mick tried to hide that he was hurt by the words he had just said.

After the conversation he had with Callum he headed to his room, took a shower and went to change his clothes. Then he got a message.

Cal<3: "let's go for a dinner?"

Mick quickly answered.

"Oh I'm not hungry I'll eat later:)"

Cal<3: "ik you're hungry and you won't eat later I'll pick u up in 20"

He got nothing to say so he just agreed. What else he could've done? Callum knew Mick didn't eat like before and he'll make sure Mick eat. Mick knew it. He has always been here for Mick and he will take care of him.

Mick was walking towards Callum's car. "you look handsome buddy" Callum told him and Mick just smiled like he always did.

Callum took them to Mick favourite restaurant. "I just wanted to make sure you eat atleast something, you're fave." Mick almost cried because Callum was being so sweet to him. "Thank you. Really" Mick told the older one quietly.

"I was just wondering if we could go to your place now? I just... it's fine if you wanna be alone now" Callum asked without even looking at Mick, the moment felt like when you're asking your first middle school crush to go out with you. "Of course I was just thinking about taking a nap but we can do something else what u want." "Oh no, nap. It's cool."

When they arrived at Micks hotel room. Mick realized there was more shyness between them than it has ever been. They didn't talk each other like before. He just wanted their old friendship back.

Callum was peacefully next to Mick, Callum's hand around his waist. Mick couldn't sleep, it was 19:30 (7:30pm) he wasn't tired. Not at all. He felt insecure about himself because of Callum's touch. It made him feel small and shy.

Mick was tired but not sleepy, mentally tired and exhausted. His eyes become watery. Tears rolling down on his face when he heard Callum waking up. "Mick? Mick you k?" Callum asked still trying to wake up and understand what's going on.

Mick couldn't talk or breathe out correctly. He was a mess and felt like one. "Buddy this isn't funny." Callum raised his hand just to keep balance while getting up. Mick flinched. "oh shit" Callum whispered.

Mick thought Callum was about to hit him, he didn't. "now Mick Schumacher you're gonna tell me everything that's going on in ur life right at the moment. you're clearly not okay at all."

"Cal, don't force me to do this." Mick voice was shaky. "Mick, you have to it'll help." Callum comforted him. he relaxed and took his best friends hand.

"so I've been struggling since I guess September, when they released Schumacher and ever since then it's been hard. I stopped eating, going out with my friends, I've been sleeping all day and uh-... never mind it's nothing." Mick tried to explain.

"and what? Mick I understand tell me." "Oh mate you'll hate me afterwards..." Callum shook his head. He was still holding his hand. "I love you." Mick said quietly but Callum understood it immediately. "you do?" Mick broke down in tears. Quickly wiped them away and began to talk again.

"yeah I do but not in friendly way, in a romantic way. I just can't hold it anymore. I was so jealous of her when I saw y'all together for the first time ever. Then I saw u so happy with her and I didn't want to ruin it so I just left the thoughts but they didn't go away. Then I realized you aren't even into guys. When ya broke up I was shocked because I thought it would ever happen but it did. Then when we slept together and people thought we were dating it made me feel comfortable because that's what I want and that's the reason why I said we aren't dating yet. It just made me even miserable that I won't ever be able to call you mine and that's the last reason why I stopped eating and seeing my friends."

"why did you flinch when I raised my arm?"Callum asked calmly. "my ex boyfriend, u know him."

The other man was speechless. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable when I touched you while we took a nap. Just for you to know I'm into guys as well. I'm just not comfortable with new relationship this quick. We can try, go to couple dates and we'll see if its really what both of us want then maybe. Let's not rush let's take it slow and see where it goes." Callum said and gave the German a sympathetic smile.

"Can I give a hug Cal?" Mick asked. Callum nodded. Mick pulled Callum into tight hug and rested his head on Callum's shoulder and whispered "you mean the world to me."

Suddenly Mick pulled himself quickly away from the hug. "Cal, are you doing this just to keep me happy or do you really wanna see where does the life take us?" Mick asked seriously, he wanted truth more than anything else at this point.

"Mick, if I would've done this just to keep u happy I would've rushed into relationship in the second you told me you loved me. But I didn't because I wanna see if I'm the one who can make your day. If I'm the one you can spend night with, the one you can take to races. If I'm the one who's going to cheer you up, the one who makes you feel pleased and good. Romantically and sexually. If I'm the one who is proud of you after good race. I'm doing this because I wanna see where life takes us, I'm ready for everything. For the hard moments where either of us needs comfort, for the fights, for the quickies before or after dinner because we are still young and horny, for the good days, for the bad days." Callum told Mick, meaning every word. They never lied to each other Mick knew it he could trust Callum with every inch of his body.

"And I'm ready for heartbreak if it doesn't work out. I'm ready to handle the jealousy when I see you with others. I'm ready for being the happiest person in the world. I'm ready for ugly crying after fighting. I'm ready to apologize after every fight, I'm ready to spend all the good days with you and go thru every bad day with you. I'm ready for the exhausting sex we are gonna have because we can't get enough of each other, I'm ready to clean you up afterwards. I'm ready to come out to the media and be who I am. I'm ready to show you to my dad. I'm ready for the long distance we'll have. I'm ready to stay up late so I could talk you on the phone and hear your voice," Mick continued, looking Callum in the eyes.

They ended up going to the store together to buy some snacks so they could eat before going to bed. "going back to ur room for the night?" "I mean if it's okay to you I'll definitely sleep better next to you." Callum said while pouring them some tea.

Mick hasn't felt this good in a long time. He's glad he told Callum everything. Even tho it didn't felt comfortable at the beginning, but Callum was right it helped a lot.

a lot.
