A/N: Hiiiiiiiii all! Sorry, this took me forever to update. Had a few days when I just wasn't able to write at all. But here we are. Hope you all are having a nice day :)

Mike woke up to Chester still beside him, arms and legs tangled to him. He let out a heavy sigh and nuzzled the warm neck. Still overwhelmed and feeling awkward. Chester had been talking about himself always messing things up, but he felt that he was the one who had messed it up. Even when he didn't do it on purpose. Even when he didn't even realize it until the shit hit the fan and he had to take a moment to think.
But he couldn't ignore the comfort he now felt. That even when he was sad and anxious, he was still happy that Chester was there sleeping on his arms. And it wasn't only the fact that he loved to wake up next to someone but that it was Chester. That was the most important thing. Running his hand along Chester's spine he sighed again wondering was there even a way for him to explain.
Slowly Chester shifted and then he flicked his eyes open. Mike just stared. He didn't know where to begin. The other huffed and his face turned gloomy but he didn't pull away. Instead, he relaxed when Mike squeezed him and dropped his gaze.
"We should talk."
"I really rather would not", Chester grumbled.
"Well, I have no idea how to even say this but I think you should at least listen to me."
"Why?"
"Because I think I am a jerk and I am sorry."
"Why? You just yesterday said you are not sorry", the frown appeared on Chester's forehead.
"I don't regret hitting him. He did deserve it. But the other stuff."
"Right. Well, he technically didn't. Because it wasn't him the other night."
"What?!" Mike gasped in disbelief. Of course he had just assumed it was Jeremy. It didn't even cross his mind that it could be someone else. Not even when he knew about Chester's past and his habit of seeking comfort from strangers. "So now I need to go and apologize to him. You didn't think that mentioning would be worth it?"
"Well, how the fuck would I have even been able to? You lunged at him so suddenly that I barely could function", the other turned his angry eyes back at him.
"You certainly didn't function at all."
"Are you blaming me now? What the fuck Mike!" the other slammed a fist on his chest.
"Calm down! No, I am not blaming you, but I would have appreciated that you would have said something. And what was that talk about jealousy?"
