even the best fall down sometimes
even the stars refuse to shine

The bleariness of the sleep was starting the fade away, despite how hard he fought it. It was the type of waking up where you would hear tiny sounds, a honking horn or the creak of a floor board, and you would slip out of sleep for a moment and then tumble back in seconds later. He turned over in his cave of blankets and sheets, finding more comfortable position, and letting out a tiny moan of comfort out of sealed lips. He slipped back into sleep, dreaming of this and that, dreaming of hot breath, the smell of cologne, of hair product, and of sweat. Then the slamming of a car door would jolt him awake again and he would regain some form of consciousness, awake with his eyes still closed, not wanting to open. He was not ready to face the sun, his heart wanted to sleep forever here, but his mind was telling the rest of his body to wake up. Slowly but surely that heavy feeling of slumber lifted away from his limbs and he tried to dig himself further under the covers, throwing them over his head. August Sedgwick’s eyes fluttered open, taking in the white glow of the wonderland that came alive under the sheets. There were a few moments of absolute silence and then August sighed deeply, his vision and mind still a bit fuzzy.
Breaking his head through the covers, the sun came at him in full force. Apparently he had neglected to close the curtains last night, something he had always done in order to avoid this very situation. August sat up and slipped his legs over the sides of the bed, rubbing his neck that was a little sore, and standing up. He was completely naked, in all his glory, standing with the sun like a spotlight on his fair frame. August moved forward, grabbing the bleach white curtains and pulling them shut, at last covering the sun and throwing the room into semi darkness. August paused and looked down at himself. He was sticky with sweat long since dried, and there were the fading marks of teeth and the red blotches of hickies, all scattered randomly from his neck down to…well….there. August turned around, a smile on his face and his eyes searching for the bed. When he found it, he found the shape of Jack, laying on his stomach, also in the nude, the covers pulled down to reveal that strong back of his. August walked back over to the bed and slipped back under the covers, scooting closer to his body, feeling his warmth. It felt like home away from home. A place of refuge in this foreign city. Gently, August brought his right hand to the man’s back, starting at the nap of his neck, and tracing the smooth ridges of his spinal cord. His skin was smooth to the touch, and smelled like sheets around them. Like sex.
As soon as his hand was at Jack’s waist he reached around his body, hugging himself to Jack’s body, molding in with his strong form. He let his hand rest on the man’s abdomen, the firm mountain ranges of his muscles making August shudder. If he could, he would stay this way for the rest of the day. Just like this.
