Backseat Serenade

The sound of an alarm clock pulled Jaime from his sleep. He swung his arm out, blindly searching for the snooze button then settled back into the warmth of Tony's bed. After it went off for the second time he figured he better start waking up. He spent a few minutes rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and stretching before realizing what today was. Jaime nearly fell off the bed as he practically jumped out of it. 

"Tone, hey, get up!" Jaime said, excitedly shaking his boyfriend awake. Tony groaned, rolling over before pulling the blankets over his head. 

"It's too early for this..." he mumbled into his pillow as he fell back asleep. Jaime just laughed softly, shaking his head as he walked across the room to grab his small overnight bag. He retrieved a few of his belongings before heading to the bathroom to start getting ready for the day ahead.

"You better be up by time I come back, lazy ass." he called from the bathroom. Jaime looked in the mirror and sighed, running a hand through the mess of curls on his head, examining yesterdays now smudged eyeliner and his newest piercing; as a small graduation gift to himself he finally got his nose pierced. He quickly cleaned off yesterdays eyeliner and took care of his awful bedhead, far too excited to get going. 

Him and Tony had been planning a cross country road trip for a few months now. They decided they wanted to do something amazing now that they've graduated high school and have the time. Eventually Jaime came up with the idea of a cross country road trip so they could get out and travel, see the country. Just get away from everything familiar and explore. 

When Jaime returned he found Tony still laying in bed. 

"Dude, seriously, it's time to get up. We gotta leave soon." Jaime said, walking over to the bed and sitting down. Tony sighed, lifting his head from his pillow and stared over at Jaime. 

"But it's, what, four in the morning? Isn't it too early to get going?" he muttered, tiredly dropping his head back onto the pillow. Jaime groaned and began to bounce his legs, starting to get antsy. Getting up early and hitting the road was one of his favorite parts of a road trip. 

"Tony, do you not understand how awesome this is?" he exclaimed while standing up. 

"This is one of the best parts! Getting out and breathing in the crisp early morning air, the nearly empty streets, seeing the sun rise as you're driving down the highway. It's so freeing. It's one of the best feelings!" He had started pacing around and flailing his arms at this point. He didn't even notice Tony get up and cross the room until he wrapped his arms around Jaime and rested his chin on his shoulder. 

"Shh, calm down. I'm up, okay? You're driving though since you seem oh so excited to be up this early." he said quietly. Jaime turned around in his boyfriends arms and rested his forehead against Tony's. 

"Deal. Now go get ready, I wanna leave as soon as possible." Tony giggled and pressed a quick kiss to Jaime's lips before walking off to go get dressed.
