Broken

Chapter 10: A Day Off

Mike's POV

I wake up in Jonathan's arms on his bed with my face pressed against his well toned pecs. My smile soon turns to a grimace when pain flowers in my mid section from my wound. I gently push myself away and up so I don't wake up Jonathan. When his fingers disconnected from my arm his eyes snap open and sees me trying to get up. "You know you shouldn't be doing that right?", he looks at me with a playful expression. I open my mouth to speak but am soon swept up by Jonathan at an alarming speed causing a yelp to emerge from me. "You're supposed to let a loved one help you out", I look away from him with my arms crossed. I hear him give off a small chuckle and he starts taking us into the small kitchen. He proceeds to gently place me in a chair and speaks magic words that brighten me up instantly,"I'm making some pancakes for breakfast", yep it's decided, he's perfect. I try to get up to grab some pain meds when Jonathan simply forces me back down into the chair and fetches me some medicine along with a glass of water. "You should be resting right now", I grab the stuff out of his hand and reply with a little sass,"I don't which one is more painful. This hole in my side from your psycho stalker or how overprotective your being as if I'm some delicate porcelain doll". I pop two pills in my mouth and chug some water feeling them go down my throat. He simply sticks out his tounge and gets back to making some delicious pieces of heaven. About half an hour later of waiting impatiently for some pancakes breakfast is served. Our breakfast time is filled with jokes, little bit of flirting, some flying food, and an all around fun time. I clean my mouth off and push my plate away while standing up to announce,"Now Johnny boy (yes that is his nickname now) I'm going to go to the bathroom, change out of this uncomfortable and itchy gown, and get ready for the day". I get up to go to the bathroom and relieve myself. When all was said and done I open the door and don't see him anywhere letting my guard down, bad mistake. He suddenly sweeps me off my feet and dashes into my room. He flops onto his back still holding me and starts to tickle me causing me to squirm and squeal. "Jonathan let me HAHAHA go please!", he doesn't stop but instead makes a demand. "What's the magic wooooorrrrrd?"
"Let me go!"
"Nope".
"I'll kick you in the balls!"
"Try again".
I turn my head around and manage to kiss him between my gasping breaths from laughing,"That'll work", and with that I was free. I jump up and do a little victory dance at a safe distance away from him. He starts to get up and I push him towards my door saying,"Now go change and take a shower".
"What about you?"
"I took one when you were away with a little bit of help".
"Alright then", he then leaves me so I could get dressed. I decide to wear some faded blue jeans, a black Sleeping With Sirens shirt, black converse, a blue beanie, and hang my headphones around my neck. I tuck the front of my chocolate colored hair in my beanie and let it hang out the back. Pulling my phone out seeing no notifications, as usual, I plug my headphones in and put my Spotify list on shuffle. Opening up the door reveals sunlight streaming through the big window along the back wall casting everything into a warm yellow-orange color. Making my way into the living room I take in everything, the bare whitewashed walls accompanied by the giant window taking up the back wall, we really need to get some curtains for that. The living room is decorated by a rosewood coffee table from Jonathan's house in front of a long, beige couch from me and my friends house. I flop onto the couch and stare at the blank 32' flat screen TV again from Jonathan's. Soon the effects of getting little sleep over come me, I fall asleep listening to Lost in Stereo by All Time Low.

Jonathan's POV

I turn the shower off ending the cascade of water leaving me standing there with water running off me. I pull open the white shower curtain ,I really need to get some color in this place, and step out. A pool of water quickly forms at my feet as I grab the towel I brought in and decently get myself dried off. I open up the door allowing a cloud of steam out of the room and showing Mike on the couch asleep. While walking to my room a smile appears on my face, so far this has been a great day and it better not get ruined. Today I chose to wear a black muscle shirt, tan cargo shorts, and light blue Nike tennis shoes. My skin has quickly gone from tan to very light mocha color since I haven't been able to go outside much. Finally I dress my wound and head out the door, creeping up to the couch with the intent to scare him but he looked so peaceful that I decide against it, instead I lay next to him and wrap my arms around him falling asleep also.

I wake up and check the time to show that it was almost 7:30, my sleep muddled mind instantly woke up realizing we were going to be late. I unwrap my arms from around Mike causing him to wake up. "Whass goin on?", Mike sleepily slurred. "I have to go to class now", Mike's eyes popped open at what I said,"Well let's get going then", he starts trying to get up. "Nope, you get to skip class for about a week, I'll have the teacher give me your homework instead", he looks at me then lays down with a little bit of a grumpy face,"What am I supposed to do here?"
"Pick a movie out, I brought DVDs for a reason".
"Alright", he gets up and starts to go through the movies. I give him a quick kiss on the head telling him goodbye and head off to class.

Hey guys, I just recently checked the reads and saw it was over 110! This made me sooooooooooo happy with it that I felt bad for not coming out with a chapter sooner because I wanted it to be good. So I guess I'll see you in the next chapter!
