wake up!
Wake up!!
WAKE UP!!!
WAKE UP!!!
I love you.

Gasping after air, Michael woke up, remembering what happened last night.

All in all, he didn't know where to go, went to Rich and almost directly went to bed because he wasn't able to talk about Jeremy yet.

''What the--?'' Michael breathed heavily and looked around, seeing that there was still a bit of sun outside which meant it wasn't that late yet.
Sighing, Michael stood up once again and walked into the livingroom, seeing Rich who seemed like he had a discussion with someone on call.

''I can't Jake!'' Rich almost yelled and groaned at the respond from Jake which was inaudible for Michael.
''We'll talk later.'' Rich sighed and hung up the call the moment he saw the taller one standing confused in the middle of the room.
''You okay?'' The shorter one asked worriedly, recognizing how Michael was tearing up a little.
''I don't know anymore.'' He cried and the entire situation snapped.

Michael suddenly collapsed at the floor and felt how the first tears ran down his heated cheeks while Rich sat down next to him and didn't know what to do at all.
''What's wrong? Did something happen?'' Rich asked worried and pulled the other boy who just began to shake into a hug.
''I think I'm stuck or going crazy, Rich.'' Michael sobbed into his shirt and shook his head.
''What do you mean?''
''Everyone t-tells me to wake up, what the fuck does that m-mean?'' Michael gasped after air and grabbed after Richs hand and squeezed it a bit, searching after comfort.
''What do you think does it mean?'' Rich asked back and the taller boy looked at him with teary eyes, forgetting to breathe when he suddenly remembered everything.
''I-- I--,'' Michael stuttered and sobbed.
''I'm stuck in a fucking parallel world.'' He guessed and Rich chuckled a little.
''No, you definitely aren't in a parallel world.''
''Rich?''
''Michael?''
''I'm sorry.'' With that words, Michael got on his knees and pulled Rich on his shirt before he kissed him for several seconds.
''For what?'' Rich gasped a bit after air and Michael gulped.
''I think I know what was missing.'' The taller one recognised and cried again.
''I knew something-- something was missing and now I think I know it-- Shit I'm sorry-- fuck!'' Michael sobbed but Rich stopped him with putting his hands on Michaels cheeks, wiping some tears away.
''Don't be sorry, just say what you want to say and everything will be great, I promise.'' Rich smiled at him and Michael just stared at him, not getting how he deserved this boy at all.

''I love you, Rich.''

Flashback 2 months ago

''I promise I'll be careful, really!'' Michael laughed when his boyfriend talked one last time before Michael would start driving to Asheville  for an important gig of the band.
''The way is just really long with the car, you sure it's fine?'' Rich asked on the other side of the phone worriedly and Michael laughed again.
''As I said, I promise I'll be fine!''
With a sigh, Rich nodded like Michael could see him somehow, which wasn't possible obviously
''Okay, I love you and be careful.'' Rich said and Michael smiled a little.
''I will, I love you too. I have to go now but we'll talk when I'm there okay?''
''Okay, see you tomorrow then?'' Rich asked again and Michael sighed.
''Yes, now let me go or I can't come and see and the others!'' Michael and Rich were now both laughing a bit and Rich smirked.
''Have a good drive.''
''Thanks, have a good night.''
