A Thousand Suns

Chapter Fourteen- Fallout

 "I'm here."

Chester had found Mike lying on the ground, crying his eyes out. It had been about a minute or so of him just comforting the younger man. "Wh-why'd you leave, Chester? Why?" Mike was sobbing into Chester's shoulder, clinging onto him as if he was the only thing keeping him up. "I thought... we could rebuild everything. Start a new life. I wanted us to get married. Wanted us to be happy with everyone else."

Chester felt his heart ache from hearing all that. He shouldn't have left, but the guys needed to get away from Mike. If they stayed their friendship would've been destroyed, and Chester couldn't bear seeing that. They were probably the only ones left. If they didn't get along anymore, then the rest of their life would be a nightmare.

"I had to Mike. The guysss... They're better off without having to deal with thisss. I don't think any of uss wanted to hurt you, but we needed to find a way to get you back to normal. They found a way, Mike. We hope thisss workss, for all of our ssakessss."

"Why'd ya come back then?"

Chester hesitated to answer, but he knew that Mike probably already had an idea. "I'm ssstill in your control... And I needed to keep Dave, Rob, Joe and Brad ssafe from you and me. I don't know what'sss gonna end up happening with me, and I don't want to know, but at the sssame time, I don't want anyone elssse to get hurt more than they already are."

Mike had stopped crying now and his breathing was getting steady. He inhaled the scent of his boyfriend. That unique, indescribable smell was soothing to him. Chester's whole presence was actually soothing. It calmed Mike, and he needed that right now or the plan for now would never happen.

"Chester..." Mike spoke, looking into Chester's eyes. His voice was raspy and his throat was sore, but that wasn't gonna stop him. He was so close. So, so close. He just needed Chester a little closer to him emotionally. He could tell that Chester had his guard up. His eyes were telling him that all too well. How they showed sympathy, but not fully. "Chaz, sweetheart... Can you... Can we..."

Chester closed his eyes, pulled on Mike's jacket to bring him forward and kissed him, knowing that's what Mike was asking for. He had to put up with Mike right now, and even though he really did want to kiss Mike at that time, or really do anything with Mike, he knew that this would probably get Mike to soften up to him and then he'd be free to go.

But Mike was step ahead of Chester. The half-Asian knew exactly what the other was doing, and it almost like what Mike was trying to do. Only difference is that Chester's trying to get Mike out of his insanity and Mike's trying to let Chester's guard down, and he knew who was gonna end up winning this.

Chester went to pull away, but Mike kept him from doing so. Chester's eyes opened up a bit from shock, but closed them again and went along with it. Just do what he wants, Chester. You'll be okay.

But what if-

Mike slipped his tongue into Chester's mouth, slowly gliding it through every inch possible. Chester gasped slightly and almost tried pulling away, but again, he needed to get Mike to soften up, and doing what he wanted would probably work. Even if it didn't work, the others were probably out looking for people right now, despite the fact that it was the middle of the night. They would get the people and find him and Mike. He just had to hold on until one of those things happened.

Mike bit down onto Chester's bottom lip, piercing into it some and drawing blood. Chester didn't scream out, but it did hurt like hell. He was so focused on the pain from the bite, that he didn't realize Mike had took off belt and put it around his neck.

Mike pulled away and stared at Chester, licking off the blood that had got onto his top lip. He had a tight grip on the belt so Chester couldn't get up and leave him. "He's coming for us, Chester. He's gonna probably kill me then take you away to fix you up along with the defyers. I'm not gonna let him do that though." Mike whispered. "No one's taking you away." He growled and got up, forcing Chester up as well.
