I didn’t want to put any pressure on him to be sexual, so I took the other shower head opposite him. It was like a tiny locker room. I hadn’t experienced a dual shower with anyone before. I’d only been in sprawling locker rooms with other guys or crammed into the dorm’s shower in Brisbane with Luke. Watching him wash himself just a few feet away was a definite turn-on, and even if he wasn’t hard, I certainly was. It did not go unnoticed.

“I see you’re still a big fan of watching me in the shower, Kane.”

Oh, so we’re tough jocks calling each other by our last name now, are we?

I nodded, smiled and then turned away from him, so he could watch while I soaped my butt, sliding my fingers in between my cheeks to tease my hole. I heard him swear, and I looked over my shoulder, confirming my hope. My performance was making him hard. With a huge grin plastered on my face, I turned back around to finish rinsing off.

“You cocky little shit, putting on a show for me over there. If I wasn’t so tired, I’d come over there and spank you.”

I shrugged and then flexed my arm as I went to run it through my hair one last time. If my body was a metaphor, the rear view was only the opening act. My dick was the headliner. I flexed my pelvic floor muscles to bounce it a few times, giving him a show. I was definitely happy to have gotten a standing ovation from my audience of one.

Oh god, I must be tired if my jokes are this bad. I couldn’t help but smile at my brain’s journey. I turned to shut off the water and grabbed a towel. Luke was close behind. He gave my butt a little slap.

We both dried off and then wrapped our towels around our waists.

What followed was so domestic, but warmed my heart to the core. They had his and his sinks, so we both brushed our teeth at the same time and got ready for bed. Luke had some fancy face wash I was going to ask him about when I could talk. That must be how his skin stayed so smooth. He didn’t shave, so I guessed he was keeping the scruff. With my nasal spray and checklist from the doctor, I had a few extra steps than Luke. He hung his towel and headed to the bedroom.

“See you in bed, Cam.”

I nodded at him, unable to help myself from watching his ass retreat in the mirror, and quickly tried to finish up. Grabbing my phone from the vanity, I texted my mom real quick. I wanted to let her know I was doing well, going to bed, and I’d be sure to update her in the morning.

Mom: Happy to hear. Good night. Love you!

Cam: Love you too.

I checked the alarm as I shut the bathroom light off. It had been years of early mornings, but I was still nervous I’d be late for practice. As I made for the bed, a thought flashed into my mind - the last time I fell asleep, I ended up in the hospital. I hadn’t really had time to process it all. Thankfully, too much was going on.

Just getting back together with my boyfriend.

I didn’t need anything extraneous messing with my head. It would be helpful to talk to Noah about it, and I made a mental note to give Colton an extra hug tomorrow. I still couldn’t believe it, really. I’m sure the press would be all over it too. They must have gotten some pics of us leaving the hospital. It was only a matter of time before they found our hotel.

I got to the edge of the enormous bed and noticed Luke’s eyes were closed. I plugged my phone in and slipped under the covers, shifting over to press against his naked body. He didn’t react when I touched him, so I tickled his belly a little. Nothing.

He’s asleep.

Of course he was. He’d been up since God knows when and if he slept at all, it was in an uncomfortable hospital chair. I gave his cheek a quick kiss and took a moment to gaze at his perfect chest. My dick appreciated running my fingers through the hair there as much as my eyes did. I almost had to pinch myself that we were back together. When I saw the coin bouncing in the locker room, the wish I was holding onto for years blossomed into hope. But I still wasn’t sure until the hospital.

I grabbed the nasal cannulae from the oxygen tank next to my bed, stuck them into my nostrils and slipped the tubing over my head, cinching it from behind. I remembered what the doctor said. The doctor already set the flow rate, so I just had to turn the tank valve on. It would be a miracle if they were still on my face in the morning.

I shut the light off and lay on my side. My eyes adjusted to the darkness, but even knowing he was there made a difference. I knew I’d be able to fall asleep tonight because I felt safe with Luke. I let my fingers wander into his hair as I drifted off.

I woke up to find Luke staring at me.

“Morning,” I barely managed to scratch out. That didn’t sound good.

“That didn’t sound good. Here, I brought you some tea,” Luke said, twisting around to grab it from his nightstand.

I took the mug and nodded, taking a sip. I could tell he added honey. How does he know I like that?

I took a few deep breaths above the tea’s steam. I couldn’t quite name the herbs.

“It’s chamomile. How do you feel?” Luke asked.

“Alright,” I answered. My voice sounded better. “Surprised this stayed on,” I said, motioning to my tubes. Wait a sec. I lifted the covers to check and yeah, Luke was still naked. “Did you go out there naked to get my tea ready?” I whispered.

Luke shrugged. “They’ve seen it before.”
