Michael

~~~~~~~~ 

My eyes opened to blackness, my face buried in the wedge of the couch. I could see the leaks of light from the creases of the cushion. When I smelled the cleaner, I coughed,  and rolled to face the dim light. The television in front of me was playing It's Always Sunny with the volume turned to the minimum. I could hear rustling in the kitchen behind me, but wasn't able to pull myself up and see what the chaos was about.

"Michael!" Gavin ran in, wearing my apron around his waist, "I though I heard some noise from in here" He squealed, he was leaning over the couch, looking at me with cheery eyes.

"Why the hell are you wearing my apron. And where are my glasses? I can't see shit" I groaned.

"Oops, sorry. Let me grab them" He darted around the couch and snatched them off of the coffee table. Gavin crawled on top of me, "Here" he placed one hand on my chin and used the other one to slowly slide my glasses on. I could now clearly see the idiot that was situated on my lap.

"You look fucking ridiculous" I muttered to him, grabbing onto the top of the apron and pulling him down closer to me. I kissed him softly.

"You shouldn't be insulting the chef darling" Gavin whispered, sending chills down my back. "On that note, I'll be back" He jumped off of me, over the couch, and ran back to the kitchen. He seemed to have the attention span of a goldfish.

"How are you feeling?" He shouted from the other room, I laughed when he yelled with excitement.

"I'm feeling a lot bet-" I paused, "Hey wait. Did you clean this room?"

"I did even better! I cleaned the entire house!" I could tell Gavin was in a good mood, but I felt guilty.

"You know you didn't have to do that"

"Ah, but I wanted to!" He came back into the room, carrying a tray. He set it down behind me and took off the apron. "Let me help you up" He grabbed a pillow and pulled me up, turning me, and moved my legs to the table in front of me. I put in no effort to help, laughing at his struggle. "Michael, you're so fat" He whined.

"I'm pretty sure you're just weak" He sighed at me, and I grinned. He ran back and picked up the tray.

"Close your eyes boi!" I obeyed, shutting my eyes. I could hear soft steps in front of me before something was placed on my lap. I could hear Gavin sit down on the table in front of me.

"Open them!" My eyes focused on a small bowl in front of me.

"Noodle soup?" I chucked, "With all your running around, I thought you were planning something a bit fancier" I played with the spoon, dipping it into the soup and mixing it around.

"Hey! It's free food, and was cooked by the talented Gavin Free!" He puffed his chest out. I laughed before taking a sip. "Be careful, it's hot," He said a second to late. My tongue was heated but I managed to swallow the liquid.

"It's good Gav" I looked at him. His face was a light pink, either from blushing or the heat in the kitchen. After hearing my approval, he scooped up a spoonful for himself. I watched him softly blow on the end before tasting it.

"It is pretty good!" Gavin cheered, before eating more. The room became silent, with both of us slurping on the meal. I looked up, noticing Gavin stopped eating, but twisting his spoon in the liquid. I watched him stare at the food, not breaking eye contact with what he was doing. I was almost halfway finished, but he barely grazed the top of the soup.

"Hey Michael?" He softly said, peering up at me with his lime green eyes. He put down the bowl next to him.

"Yeah?"

"Do you remember what you said last night?" I looked at him, confused. I looked back down, trying to recall what happened.

"You do so much for me, you're so incredible."

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

"Hey Gavin?"

"Yeah?"

"I-I love you"

I softly set my soup down next to his, leaning close to him. I grabbed his hands that rested on his lap, and pulled him towards me. He was on top of me now, with my legs in between his knees. He watched my eyes, almost as if he was nervous. I let go of one of his hands and placed my empty hand on his soft cheek. I wanted to make sure he was looking at me to hear what I was about to say.

"I love you Gavin Free" My voice almost silent. I saw a grin quickly form on his face before he leaned in, planting a kiss on my lips. I pulled him closer, hoping to feel every inch of his body against mine. I could sense blood rushing through my body as our kiss deepened. Gavin scooped me up, his arms wrapped around my waist and legs. I didn't want to complain about the pain he was causing, but pulled my lips away softly.

"I love you Gavin. I-I love you" I repeated, causing him to smash his lips against mine. I quietly moaned, feeling the warmth of him as he carried me to my bedroom. He placed me down on the bed, and stood up, helping me take off my shirt and shorts. I saw him look at my wounds on my chest and legs. He quietly sighed and lied me down, kissing me on the forehead.

"I love you Michael Jones" He spoke as he pulled away. Hearing the words flow out of him made me tear up as I lied there. "So much." He smiled at me. "But you need to recover from your injuries. I don't want you to hurt more than you should" He winked at me before flicking off the lights. Thankfully he couldn't see my face in shock, and embarrassment. He walked towards the door.

"Gavin. Stay here. Please." I already missed his touch. I heard him walk back to the bed and climb in. He squirmed for a bit as he removed his shirt and jeans. I could feel his chest against my back and his legs bent against mine. He wrapped his arm around me, and softly kissed the back of my neck.

"I love you Michael" He faintly said, nuzzling his face into my hair.

"I love you too Gavin"
