After (Love in the Air)

In my darkest nights, will you be there? (2)

["You sure you're up for this hun?"

"I'm fine. You have the meds?"

"Yes but I really don't think-"

"-she's right, I need the money"

"Hun, you don't. I promise"

"Just give them to me"

Rain groaned, leaning his head back against the scuffed toilet door.

"Fuckkkkkkk"

"You're okay hun" his manager said rubbing small circles against his back

"My throat is burning"

"I know darl, I know. Here's some water"

"We won"

"You did win"

"I need to get home"

"You are not driving"

"I'm fine"

"I'll drive you back to the company building but please tell me your not going to stay with her"

Rain eyes dropped to the ground.

"Noeul!"

With shaking hands, he fumbled with the key. Finally he managed to throw the door open and stumble inside.

She was right there; metres away from the door. "Did you win?"

"Hi honey, yes I won"

"That's good, now we can go shopping tomorrow"

"I'm actually really tired, can we go another day I was going to sleep in"

"Really? You're going to do that? On our day off?"

"I just haven't been sleeping. and i've been going to extra races between schedules for the money-"

"Now you're blaming it on me? You arrogant little bitch," she screeched.

He closed his eyes...]

He opened his eyes and was met with darkness

At first Phayu didn't know what woke him up. Then he felt the cool air on his chest, reaching out for Rain he was met with an empty space.

"Rain" he muttered, opening his eyes. In the darkness he saw the silhouette of his boyfriend, who was sitting rigidly on the edge of the bed. "Rain?"

"Phi? I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

His boy's voice was thick, but not with sleep. Had he been crying?

"Rainy, what's wrong?"

"Nothing I'm fine, go back to sleep."

Phayu got up and wrapped his arms around Rain, carefully pulling the boy into his chest, "what's wrong baby?"

Rain leaned back resting his head on Phayu's shoulder and closed his eyes, "just a dream."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

He felt Rain shake his head.

"That's okay, do you want to come back to bed?"
