Nick’s mind was a jumbled mess when he awoke the next morning. He’d slept most of the previous day away, so the last thing he wanted to do today was sleep. It was 9 am. Knowing the others had probably been up until the early hours, he threw on some sweat pants and a T-shirt, and headed to the indoor basketball court. He needed some time to think, and some time away from the other guys.
30 minutes later he was soaked in sweat, and a little red in the face. “So, this is where you’ve been hiding out” a voice said, startling him out of his thoughts.
“Hey J” he said.
“Wassup?” AJ asked, taking a seat on the side bench as Nick continued to shoot hoops solo.
“Nothing much. Couldn’t sleep anymore.”
“You sure that’s all? You looked far away in your thoughts when I came in.”
“Just thinking.”
“Wanna talk about it?”
Nick set the ball down on the court and looked over at AJ, contemplating his next words. He nodded slowly and then took a seat next to AJ. He straddled the bench so that he was facing AJ, and took a long drink from his water bottle. AJ sat there patiently, waiting for Nick to tell him what was on his mind. Nick passed him the water and he nodded in thanks. As he took a mouthful, Nick spoke. “If you could, and you found your true soul mate, would you take the chance to live forever with them?”
AJ almost choked on the water in his mouth. Nick was looking at him with all honesty in his eyes.
“Um, wow Nicky, deep question. I guess if you found your soul mate, then it would be kinda cool. But then, if you had to spend eternity with them, wouldn’t you get bored with them? I think that’s something each individual would have to think about. But anyway, no one can live forever, so don’t worry about it Nicky.” The look that flickered across Nick’s face, made AJ shudder. Then, as quick as it was there, it was gone.
“You’re right J” Nick grinned, playfully slapping him on the back and then standing up. AJ smiled back at him.
“So, now you’ve got all the deep thinking out of the way, got any plans for the rest of the day?”
“Not really.”
“Wanna be my shopping buddy? I might even buy you something if you’re nice to me.”
“Sure. But I’m not letting you buy me anything J. I’d have no fans left.”
He smirked at AJ’s fake hurt expression. After giving him a big bear hug, they both headed back up to Nick’s room so he could change before they went shopping.
The next few days went by without any problems. They were travelling during the day and doing shows in the evenings. After the third night, Nick was beginning to think his lover would not return. It had taken him hours to make his decision, but he was now confident in his decision, and was wishing his lover would hurry up and come to him. The nerves were making him jittery, and he was having trouble sleeping. On the fourth night, Nick was exhausted by it all. The touring was taking it’s toll on his body, and he fell asleep on his bed fully clothed. Even though he was deep in dreamland, Nick sensed the very second he was no longer alone. Not wanting to awaken, he snuggled back into the now familiar warm body behind him. Just as he was drifting back into his sleep, brief cold kisses were pressed onto his neck, travelling slowly down his collar bone.
“Mmm” he mumbled, turning over to face him and kissing him back softly.
“Make love to me” Nick mumbled into the kiss.
“Later baby, we’ve got all night.”
“Mmm, now.”
He chuckled, breaking the kiss and leaning over Nick gently running a hand over his cheek. “Have you made a decision baby?” He asked, the nerves clear in his voice and the way his thumb brushed over Nick’s bottom lip.
“Yes” Nick replied, trying to hide the grin from his face.
“And what have you decided?”
Nick looked up at him, eyes twinkling mischievously, enjoying the torture. His lover’s dusky eyes glistened in the dark, anxiously awaiting the reply.
“Yes” Nick whispered, smiling. His lover frowned, confused.
“Yes. Yes I want to be yours, forever. Take me.”
The sex was hard, fast and quick. There was no time for foreplay, no time for soft kisses either. As they lay there panting and sweating, his lover rolled up so he was kneeling above him. “I think it’s time for us to meet in the light” he said, leaning over and flicking on the light. Nick looked up and gasped.
