What Happened in America

Problem

Rye and Mikey woke up the next day snuggled against each other. Mikey had his head and arm on Rye's chest while Rye was sleeping on his back.

Rye had woken up first and played with Mikey's hair. He loved the days when he and Mikey fell asleep together. He felt most at peace and the most rested those days. Mikey snuggled closer to him and Rye's heart melted. He's just too cute for words, he thought as he stared down at him with admiration in his eyes.

Rye watched Mikey sleep for a few more minutes before he reached to the night stand to grab his phone.

"Stop moving, Pillow, I'm trying to sleep," Mikey mumbled and tried to put Rye back to where he was. When Rye moved back with a slight chuckle, Mikey said, "Thanks, Pillow, now if you could go back to playing with my hair, it would be much appreciated."

Rye chuckled again and did as he was told. Mikey sighed and fell back asleep.

Rye used his free hand to scroll through his phone until he heard the door open.

Jack walked back in and saw Mikey snuggled to Rye and Rye playing with Mikey's hair. He smiled.

"Now that's the Rykey I know and love," he whispered.

"Shh," Rye said while he fought a smile.

"I don't know what I'd do if you two had a serious fight," Jack went on. "I feel like everyone would feel the pain in that."

Rye shrugged, "You're probably right but let's not find out." He kissed the top of Mikey's head.

"I don't fight with my RyePie," Mikey mumbled, still half asleep, "It would hurt too much." He kept his eyes closed.

"I couldn't agree more," Rye pulled Mikey closer.

"And you wonder why people ship you," Jack said.

"I don't wonder. The Rykey love is real." Rye stated.

Jack looked at Rye and scanned his face. Rye had an interesting expression on his face and he didn't know what to make of it. "Did I miss something?"

Rye shook his head, "Only a Rykey makeout session."

"What?" Jack's jaw dropped.

"What?" Mikey eyes snapped open and he looked at Rye.

"A Rykey makeup session..." Rye smirked, he knew what he said, "What did you think I said?"

"Oh," Jack said as he shook his head, "I heard something completely different."

"Me too," Mikey narrowed his eyes at Rye but said nothing else. He laid his head back down on Rye's chest and closes his eyes. He smiled when Rye went back to playing with his hair.

"Brook and I are going to go get some food with Aid and Max, did you want to come?" Jack asked. He grabbed a change of closes and walked to the bathroom.

Rye looked down at Mikey and waited for his answer.

"Tired. Rye. I. Later." Mikey mumbled.

"You heard the Mike," Rye said.

"Okay," Jack answered and then went into the bathroom to change.

Jack, Brooklyn, Aiden and Max went to Denny's a few blocks always from their hotel and waited to be seated.

"So we've seen some of the content you guys put out," Aiden began, "And you all seem very close."

Jack and Brooklyn exchanged looks and then smirked.

Brooklyn scooted closer to Jack at the same time Jack went to plant a kiss on his neck.
