Sundays
are the one day of the week that Daniel doesn’t run, which also makes it the
one day of the week he lets himself sleep in. There’s no alarm yanking him out
of his sleep, no carefully planned morning routine to force him out of bed.
Instead, he wakes slowly, arms stretching out, reaching toward the far side of
the bed.
His
hand knocks into an extra pillow, but doesn’t encounter another person, and
that makes Daniel open his eyes. There’s supposed to be someone else in bed
with him.
The
other side of the bed is empty, and Daniel brushes his hand over the empty
space. The sheets are cool. Which means Ryan’s been up for a while. Craning his
head to get a look into the bathroom, Daniel sees that the lights are off.
Daniel
pushes down the wave of hurt that comes when he realizes Ryan’s left him to go
into the other room. Daniel leaves Ryan sleeping alone in the bed all time,
especially on Saturdays when he wakes up much earlier so he can go running. And
it’s not like he needs Ryan here.
He
just wants him.
Awake
now, Daniel slides out of bed, pausing as the first movement he makes alerts
him to the fact that his entire body is sore. It’s an achy kind of pain, from
his neck to his toes, muscles complaining that he didn’t even know he has.
That’s what he gets for being so tense last night. Turns out not getting to
come over and over again is a full body workout.
He
likes the soreness. It’s not painful. It’s a reminder every time he moves of
what happened last night. A reminder of how desperate he was. Desperate enough
to cry. Desperate enough to beg Ryan to fuck him.
Daniel
flushes, embarrassed even though he’s the only one in the room. It’s another
useless emotion. There’s nothing for him to be ashamed of. If Daniel didn’t
want Ryan to fuck him, then they wouldn’t be in a sexual relationship. And if
Ryan didn’t want Daniel begging for it, then he wouldn’t have teased Daniel for
as long as he did.
Then
why isn’t he here, the insidious part of Daniel’s brain wants to know.
Daniel
forces himself out of the room, but he doesn’t go looking for Ryan right away.
He goes to Ryan’s bedroom instead, because his overnight bag didn’t make it to
the guest bedroom, and Daniel doesn’t like wandering around his own apartment
without clothes on, let alone Ryan’s apartment.
He
pulls on a pair of sweatpants and a plain white V-neck, but it’s a little
chilly in the apartment, and he looks around for something warmer. He has a
sweatshirt in his bag, but it’s not what he wants. His eyes fall on one of
Ryan’s cardigans, hanging over the open closet door. So close to being put back
away.
Daniel
plucks it from its current resting place, and slips his arms through the
sleeves. Ryan doesn’t wear cardigans to work, or he hasn’t yet that Daniel’s
seen, but he has a whole collection of them in his apartment. They’re all
stretched at the sleeves or fraying at the collar. This one is light blue, and
its sleeves are loose from being rolled up too many times.
Daniel
tugs the sleeves over his hands and goes to find the owner of the cardigan.
Ryan’s
in the guest room, standing by the bed with two plates in his hands and looking
confused.
Daniel
watches him wander over to check the bathroom, before he says, “Looking for
someone?”
Ryan
turns around, smiling when he spots Daniel in the doorway. “I was hoping to
catch you before you got out of bed,” he says, holding up the two plates of
breakfast for Daniel to see.
“Breakfast
in bed?” Daniel asks. “Isn’t that messy?”
“We’ve
got to wash the other sheets anyways.” Ryan sits down on the bed. “Come on,
live adventurously.”
“I
thought that’s what we did last night,” Daniel says, but he joins Ryan on the
bed.
