Michael Part II

Promise To...

"Love, I'm heading out," Mika said as he kissed Michael's cheek.

"No..." Michael said sleepily as he pulled Mika down onto the bed.

Michael held onto Mika and wouldn't let him go. Mika smiled and laid there for a few more minutes. He could feel Michael's grip loosening as he slowly started to fall back asleep, so he slipped out from his grip.

"I love you," Mika said as he kissed Michael's lips.

"Promise to call every night?" Michael asked.

"If you promise to answer," Mika laughed.

Michael nodded, "I love you."

They kissed one more time before Mika departed. Michael woke up around 10:30 to head to the hospital with Fitz. He was going to have a port put in for his chemo and start the first day.

"Nervous?" Fitz asked Michael whom had his head pressed against the car window.

"No," Michael said as he lifted his head and looked over at Fitz. "I just wish Mika was here."

"Well he's got a job to do. You know he'd be here if it was something he could reschedule or cancel."

Michael nodded as they pulled into the hospital parking lot.

Later that night Michael felt really sick. Fitz tried to get him to eat, but he couldn't. He laid in bed most of the night until he really got sick. Then he slept on the bathroom floor next to the toilet. Which is where Thomas found him the next morning.

"Dad!" Thomas said worriedly as he ran over too Michael. "Are you okay?"

Michael shook his head as he held his stomach. Thomas ran to get Fitz.

"Give him something," Thomas demanded.

"Watch him," Fitz said as he exited the bathroom.

When he returned he gave Michael a shot and carried him back to bed.

"Is it going to be this bad the entire treatment?" Thomas asked Fitz.

"It's different for everyone. But yea. I can give him medicine to help though," Fitz answered as they left Michael to sleep.

Mika tried calling Michael later that night, but he didn't answer. Fitz informed him of how Michael was doing. The rest of the week was the same, but thankfully Mika was coming home.

When Mika arrived home everyone, except Michael, was in the kitchen helping with dinner.

"Hey! Where's my lover?" Mika questioned as he greeted everyone with a hug.

"Where he's been all week...bed," Jacob answered as he licked a spoon. Mama slapped the back of his head. "Ow!"

Mika laughed and made his way to the bedroom. When he opened the door the bed was empty. He could see the bathroom light on, so he made his way into it.

When he opened the door he saw Michael standing in front of the mirror. He was looking down at his hands. Mika walked up next to him and rubbed his back when he saw what was in his hands.

"Can you shave my head?"Michael asked Mika.

Mika giggled, "you trust me?"

"I don't know..." Michael joked. "Please?"

Mika nodded and pointed to the toilet seat for Michael to sit down. Michael obeyed and sat nervously. Mika grabbed the electric razor and turned it on. Michael jumped up when he did.

"Do not cut me Mika!" Michael tried to say seriously to Mika.

Mika just gave him an evil smile and pulled him back down. He let out a giggle causing Michael to tense up. Michael was about to turn around when Mika held his phone out in front of Michael and took a picture.
