Silence Gives You Space

Chapter Eleven: Another Show

The next morning Josh woke up, rolling over and looking towards the sleeping Marcus. He smiled and leaned over, pressing kisses all over his face. Marcus groaned and lightly pushed at Josh's chest.

"Stop...I need more sleep..." Marcus whispered and rolled over.

Josh chuckled and gave a shrug, getting out of the bunk and pulling on boxers and a pair of shorts. He hummed contently, walking to the front of the bus. When arriving he noticed everyone was half asleep and laying on the couches or in the dining booth.

"What'd did you guys do? Sleep out here?" Josh said, tilting his head before reaching into the cabinet to grab a bowl. He poured some reese's puffs into the bowl them poured milk over it. He stuffed a spoonful into his mouth.

"Yes." Mark groaned and covered his face.

"Why?" Josh asked.

"Josh we heard a lot of noises coming from your bunk. What's up man?" Tyler said, sitting up and messing with the clothes he was still wearing that were from last night.

Josh almost choked on his cereal, struggling to calm down. "Oh noises? I was giving Marcus a massage."

"A massage? Must have been a full body one." Tyler bit his bottom lip, raising his eyebrows to Josh.

Josh shrugged and looked out the window, they were parked behind the second venue. The Newport Music Hall.

"Also. The scratches and hickeys. Nice man." Tyler stated grinning.

"Leave me alone Tyler!" Josh whined, sitting down and staring into the bowl, eating hurriedly.

Marcus then walked into the room, he had a loose shirt on that was falling off one shoulder, and a pair of black shorts on. His hair was crazy, and he looked beyond tired.

He looked to Josh, reaching to pet his head before he walked to Tyler, flopping down and resting his head on his shoulder.

"Hey Marky Marks. You look rough." Tyler giggled.

"I need you to shut the hell up, and sit the hell down.." Marcus half growled. "I'm too tired and slightly hungover from the one god damn beer. So...hush up."

Tyler was holding his hand in front of his mouth, trying not to laugh hysterically.

Mark smiled, "Ooooh Josh. You broke Marcus." He started laughing. But stopped when Marcus threw one of the small pillows at his face.

Josh looked at his partner sheepishly, smiling. "You look lovely this morning."

"Thanks Joshie..." Marcus hummed and soon enough he was once again fast asleep on Tyler.

When Marcus was woken up he opened his eyes to see Josh standing over him. His face was cradled in his strong hands. He smiled softly and looked down into Marcus' bright blue eyes.

"Wakey wakey cutie. Everyone left for lunch and stuff. Thought you'd like to go out with me to Cracker Barrel." Josh smiled sweetly.

"Mmmm...yes.." Marcus yawned lightly.

"Alright cutie. You gotta brush your teeth and get dressed." Josh helped Marcus up, kissing his nose lovingly. "Go on."

"You were good last night." The boy hummed before leaving the room. Josh blushing and nipping at his bottom lip.

Marcus returned, he was wearing a cream color knee length dress that had cute little cats on it drawn in black. He was wearing his black hightop converse, with grey colored cat head socks poking out. He looked into Josh's eyes, blushing. In his hair was a clip with a cream fabric flower on it.
