| Chapter 21 |
| Lance woke up and smiled as he felt Joshua's arms wrapped tightly around him. Lance looked down at Joshua's beautiful peaceful face and felt his heart begin to beat faster with his love for Joshua flowing through his veins. Lance brought his hand up to Joshua's face and traced his features memorizing every curve, "Beautiful." Joshua smiled, "Gorgeous." Lance felt a blush creeping onto his face, "I thought you were asleep." Joshua opened his eyes to look at the beautiful creature before him, "When I have you to wake up to, who needs to be asleep?" Lance grinned and gently kissed his love, "I love you." "I love you." Lance scooted down so he was face to face with Joshua, "I don't have to be anywhere so I could just stay in bed with you for the rest of the day." Joshua smiled and brought his hand up to caress Lance's face, "Oh yeah? And what would we do?" Lance kissed Joshua's nose and layed his palm on Joshua's chest, "Well...we could sleep, or read, or veg out and watch videos all day." "Yeah we could or we could...tickle eachother." Joshua straddled Lance's waist and began tickling him. Lance screamed giggling and tried to bat Joshua's hands away when that didn't work he began tickling him, enjoying hearing Joshua's giggle. Joshua tried to continue tickling Lance but the fingers tickling into his sides were too distracting and he collapsed on Lance laughing. Lance wrapped his arms around Joshua, "You are the best Joshua." Joshua kissed Lance, "Do you want something to eat baby?" "Sure." Lance said and got up holding his hand out for Joshua and leading him downstairs to the kitchen. "What do you want darlin'?" Lance asked. "Something easy, how about cereal?" Joshua replied. "OK." Lance said as he got some bowls and spoons and the cereal and poured him and Joshua a bowl. After they ate they went into the living room and snuggled close on the couch watching cartoons. "Joshua?" Lance whispered. "Yeah?" Joshua whispered back. "Sing to me." Joshua smiled and searched through his mind before he remembered the perfect song. "I didn't hear you leave I wonder how am I still here I don't want a move a thing It might change my memory Oh I am what I am I'll do what I want But I can't hide I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here with me I don't wanna call my friends They might wake me from this dream I can't leave this bed Risk forgetting all that's been Oh I am what I am I'll do what I want But I can't hide I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until your resting here with me I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here with me Oh I am what I am I'll do what I want But I can't hide I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here with me" Lance smiled as the beautiful voice of his love floated in his ears. "Sing for me now baby." Joshua whispered. Lance happily complied and sang a song he'd been dying to sing to Joshua since they became a couple and long before. "If I'm not in love with you What is this I'm going through, tonight And if my heart is lying then What should I believe in Why do I go crazy Every time I think about you baby Why else do I want you like I do If I'm not in love with you And if I don't need your touch Why do I miss you so much, tonight If it's just infatuation then Why is my heart achin' To hold you forever Give a part of me I thought I'd never Give again to someone I could lose If I'm not in love with you Oh why in every fantasy Do I feel your arms embracing me Lovers lost in sweet desire Why in dreams do I surrender Like a little baby Someone help explain this feeling Someone tell me If I'm not in love with you What is this I'm going through, tonight And if my heart is lying then What should I believe in Why do I go crazy Every time I think about you baby Why else do I want you like I do If I'm not in love with you" "I love you." Joshua whispered his voice choked with tears. "I love you too Joshua." Lance whispered back blinking back his own tears and curled his body closer to Joshua as they fell asleep watching tv.
