Gavin

~~~~~~~~

We arrived at Michael's house. The clouds in the sky created a gloomy feeling every step we took closer to the front entrance. I had brought my spare key with the American flag printed on each side. Michael gave me the key when we first met, and it's been chained next to my house key ever since. Appropriately, I also gifted my key to Michael a while back, with the British flag on the scrap of metal. I remember giving it to him and seeing the print caused him to burst out laughing. I used my open hand to unlock the door, with my other hand wrapped between my boi's. The door creaked open, revealing the mess that was scattered across the floor. The room was almost lightless, with a stinging smell of alcohol. Even in the dark, I could sense there was a disaster in front of us. I could hear Michael faintly exhale. I couldn't tell if it was from the relief of finally being home, or viewing the distasteful mess.

"I'll take care of this shit later" Michael weakly said. I noticed that the medication that the nurse provided was making Michael consistently act more sensitive, which I was warned about. I helped him remove my jacket and I guided him towards his couch, cupping his hands in mine and pulling him forward. He giggled as I scooped him up and situated him onto the couch, adjusting his shirt so it was spread across his chest instead of collected up by his arms. I found a comfortable fleece in the laundry room and fixed it around the drained Jersey Boy. "T-thank You Gav" his words were slurred, almost as if he was drunk, "Thank you so much Gav" his eyes started to tear up. I grinned at him and tenderly kissed him on his forehead. I could see him crack a smile.

"Relax and try to get some rest my Mi-coo", I was kneeled down in front of the couch, looking at him, softly rubbing his shoulder. He smiled and closed his eyes, but not yet dreaming. I felt his biceps loosen up and soften through my hand. I gently placed my head down onto his chest, my arm wrapping around his waist. He made a soft moaning sound before untucking his arm from the blanket and wrapping it around my shoulders. My eyes shut and I couldn't help but feel the butterflies flutter inside of me.

"You do so much for me, you're so incredible." I blushed hearing him speak.

"It's nothing boi, I just really care about you."

"Hey Gavin?"

"Yeah?"

"I-I love you"

I could feel my heart skip a beat.

"Michael. I love you too. So much. I'm so happy you tol-" I was interrupted by a loud snore. I opened  my eyes to see Michael's mouth partially open. I could feel my cheeks redden in embarrassment.

Just tell him when he wakes up. He's on too many meds if you told him tonight. He wouldn't be able to remember.

I chuckled to myself, realizing I was right. I slid out from underneath his arm and snuck to the other room, flicking off the lights that painted over the room where Michael was now unconscious.  My heart was still rushing from the three words Michael whispered to me before he fell into a slumber. My face blossomed just thinking about what happened. I quietly walked into the kitchen, seeing the fridge was partially open. The stench of expired dairy and vodka flew into my nose. I gagged at the smell and covered my mouth.

I suppose I should start picking up this mess before Michael woke up.
