When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

4. you should see me in a crown

what.

"what do you mean?" Callum heard Mick asking confused. "You said that we aren't dating yet." Callum gave Mick a questionable look. "No really oh gosh it was a mistake." Mick looked weird after he said that.

Mick left the room quickly after they finished the conversation but Callum still wanted to spend time with Mick, so he decided to text him.

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

Callum got a notification, it was Mick. Callum felt himself blushing lightly. Until he read the message.

Micky<3: "Oh I'm not hungry I'll eat later:)"

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

Callum got another message. It was from Mick he agreed on going to dinner. Callum hasn't probably ever gotten ready faster than now.

Callum was now on his car waiting for Mick to come, then he saw him walking towards his car. "you look handsome buddy" Callum said right away when Mick got himself into the car.

Callum took them to Mick favourite restaurant. "I just wanted to make sure you eat atleast something, your fave." He told to the younger one. "Thank you. Really" The German said 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, Callum had the feeling like he was asking out his middle school crush out. "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." Callum agreed and smiled.

When they arrived at Micks hotel room Callum felt like there was like tension between them. They didn't talk like before. Like when they were racing in formula 2.

Callum was peacefully next to Mick, Callum's hand around his waist. Callum couldn't sleep. He was tired but just couldn't sleep. He loved cuddling with Mick. Callum had his arm around Mick's waist as always. The warmth of the other ones body was comforting Callum loved it.

When Callum finally fell asleep, just minutes after he felt Mick shaking a little under his arm. "Mick? Mick you k?" Callum asked still trying to wake up and understand what's going on, he was slightly confused and the tiredness wasn't really helping.

He heard how Mick couldn't talk or breathe out correctly. He was a mess. "Buddy this isn't funny." Callum raised his hand just to keep balance while getting up. Callum saw Mick flinching . "oh shit" Callum whispered. He kinda knew what was going on.

Callum decided to open his mouth and say something. "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." Callum said and looked at Mick but he didn't look back.

"Cal, don't force me to do this." Mick voice was shaky. "Mick, you have to it'll help." Callum tried to comfort him as much as he could.

"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 Callum listened.

"and what? Mick I understand tell me." Callum said when Mick suddenly stopped. "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?" Callum asked confused. He didn't know how to react. Apparently his reaction was t the best. 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."

Callum was absolutely speechless but he tried to talk. "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. He felt Mick pulling Callum into tight hug and Mick rested his head on Callum's shoulder and whispered "you mean the world to me."

Then 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 Callum could read it from Mick's face.

"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 Callum knew it he could trust Mick 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," Callum heard Mick continuing his speech, 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. He felt blushing slightly but Mick didn't notice.

Callum hasn't felt much better after they talked. Now there wasn't lies between them anymore. Expect one.

There was one thing Mick didn't know.

one thing.
