Crossed Lines I Shouldn't Have Crossed

New Year's Day 2002

1 AM:

  Chris got over the immediate shock that was Jonny's drunk kiss. He opened the door to see Jonny on the floor most likely passed out. Chris kneeled down next to Jonny and pushed him onto his side. "J-Jonny boy," He repeated a few times before just sitting there looking at him. 

Jonny made a slight sound before reaching out for Chris' arms. Jonny blinked a few times before whispering, "What the hell?" Chris jumped up and quickly thought what to say, "You were drunk! Really drunk." Jonny sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes, "S-Sorry Chris, I didn't do anything that stupid right?" 

  Chris debated whether he should say what Jonny had done. Jonny was drunk, surely he didn't feel anything romantic towards Chris, right? Chris chuckled before saying, "Nah, just said some dumb stuff." Jonny nodded, "I got a killer headache though." Chris kneeled back down and said, "I'll get you some water, happy New Year." 

  Jonny watched Chris get up and pull a room temperature water bottle out of his bag. He pulled it out and handed it to Jonny. He took a few sips before slowing standing up. "You should get some sleep Chris, your eyes are bloodshot." Chris reached to touch the skin under his eyes. He had cried briefly and he was relieved it appeared that his red eyes were from his lack of sleep. 

  Chris shook his head, "I'm fine, I don't want you to pass out again." Jonny laid down on the bed and said, "Thanks again, sorry if I said anything really ridiculous. You know how it is." Chris nodded awkwardly and turned off the light before laying down next to him. Jonny awkwardly asked, "Tomorrow we're heading back, right?" Chris nodded, "Yeah Jonny." Jonny said, "Goodnight." Chris didn't respond.

New Year's Day 2002

   Chris had woken up first this time, shoving all of his things in a bag. He decided he wouldn't tell Jonny what he had done. Chris couldn't lie to himself, he did enjoy it. After Chris had gotten dressed and packed he woke up Jonny. Jonny got up quickly and folded his clothes, quite neatly and fast into his bags before changing.

   Chris said, "I'll put these in the car, you can check out. Right?" Jonny nodded, "Sure!" Chris pressed the elevator button, "How do you feel?" Jonny nodded, "Much better, you?" Chris smiled, "Fine." Jonny wiped his mouth before walking to the reception counter. He joined Chris in the car and he turned on the radio. 

  Chris grinned, "I bet if we scroll through the channels now we can hear one of our songs." Jonny asked jokingly, "How much do you bet?" Before skipping through the channels. Almost two minutes after he stopped at Shiver with a large grin. Chris asked, "Fun, right?" 

  Jonny nodded before tapping his foot on the car floor. Chris sang along and Jonny hummed. Jonny smiled, "I do really like this song." Chris nodded and continued singing. After the song ended Jonny listened to the next song before going, "Eww Nickelback." Chris chuckled before changing the radio and settling on some public radio news station. 

 Jonny listened to the radio and Chris' occasional interruptions for a dumb joke before falling asleep in the car. Chris looked over at him and he thought about how less angry he looked when he slept. There wasn't much traffic and the weather was fairly pleasant which gave them a great ride. 

  Although Jonny was asleep for most of it Chris got to reflect on what had happened. He was still shocked, sure they had kissed before but, it was different. It wasn't something like a friendly European greeting. Chris decided to forget about it.
