Finding out

When Scott woke up the next morning, he felt a comfortable weight on his chest. He smiled when he noticed that his boyfriend was already awake and reading something on his phone. "Good morning" Scott said softly. 

Avi looked up. "Good morning" he replied and put his phone away. "I thought I had dreamed that you're here but then I woke up next to you..."

Scott chuckled softly. "You were knackered last night. Passed out right in my arms. Was it a long day?"

Avi nodded. "It was" he said and sighed softly. "I really was so tired and I guess I just felt safe when I was in your arms. Sorry, you probably wanted to spend the evening differently..."

Scott just shook his head. "I had you next to me, which is more than enough" he said softly. "Also, I feel like you desperately needed sleep. Was everything okay, though?" 

"What do you mean?" Avi wanted to know. 

Scott shrugged his shoulders. "You just seemed a little off last night, I just wanted to know if everything is okay... just me being a little worried about my boyfriend." He leaned down and kissed Avi's forehead.

The brunette smiled. "I'm okay, Scott. Don't worry. Just happy to have you back with me. And yeah, I was tired..." Avi hoped that Scott wouldn't suspect anything, but from the way the blonde was just smiling at him, it was fine, he was fine. 

"Good" Scott said. "Anyway... what time is it? Can we have a slow start or do we need to hurry?"

"It's just eight, so we can definitely have a slow start" Avi said, suppressing a yawn. "How about room service for breakfast?" 

Scott nodded. "Sounds like a wonderful plan. I need to shower first, though..."

Avi smirked. "Wanna share?"

Scott chuckled. "What is it with you always wanting to shower with me?" 

"Hmm, I get to see you naked, get to touch your handsome body and have you touch me..." Avi said, smirking back at his boyfriend. 

"Mmhm" Scott leaned down and kissed his boyfriend. "A lot of advantages... and easy clean-up, just in case we need it..." 

Avi nodded. "I love the way you're thinking..." he replied and slowly raised himself. "Come on then..."

They left Chicago, headed for Minneapolis for the next concert. Avi was glad to have Scott back with them, he enjoyed being on the bus with Noah and Kaleb, playing cards and talking about this and that, but Scott made everything just better.

Still, he felt off. Even after a good night's sleep and a wonderful morning with Scott, he still felt uneasy and restless.  

"Are you okay, Avi?" Kaleb asked all of a sudden why they were in between two rounds of card games. 

"Hmm?" Avi asked. 

"You seem a little off, Dear" Scott agreed. 

Avi stretched his arms out. "Maybe... I should take a break. Meditate a little bit. If you don't mind?" 

"Not at all" Scott said softly. "Take care of yourself, Love." He smiled when Avi leaned down for a kiss and squeezed his shoulder three times before he got up and left.

Avi went back into his bunk and got comfortable with his phone and headphones. He knew that it would be best to just meditate and try to come down this way, but that the easier way would be to just take a pill or two, to get into a better state of mind.

So he got out the new small pillbox he was able to get in Chicago and swallowed two of the pills. Then he put on some music and closed his eyes, feeling himself drift off quickly.
