Homecoming
**Mike's POV**
I was relieved when Joe went outside periodically to keep watch. I was even more relieved when I heard him yelling. My poor Chaz was lying unconscious in our backyard for a while before Joe found him. But he was alive. Pretty well beaten, but alive. Joe and Rob and Brad rushed him to the hospital, while Phoenix stayed home with me. I don't know why I didn't go to the hospital immediately. I guess I was still thinking about what he said earlier. About half an hour after they guys left, I decided to start moving some of Chester's things into my room. After all, we were going to be together.
After a while of moving things around, Phoenix came upstairs to check on me. I was so busy rearranging and moving things, I didn't hear him walk upstairs. I don't know how long he stood there, but when he noticed that I was just staring at a picture that I had moved from Chaz's room to mine for 10 minutes straight, he made himself known.
"Hey, how are you holding up?" Phoenix asked, gently touching my shoulder.
"I'm so scared. I've held my feelings back from him for so long, thinking he was straight. When he split from Sam, I thought I might have a chance, but decided against telling him how I truly felt. And, when he finally tells me, he goes to face some fucking pervert and winds up in the hospital. God, Phoenix, what if he dies? What will I do then? I love him!!" I whispered, as I started to cry.
"Chaz is a tough guy, he's gonna make it. Rob just called and said that he was awake and asking where you were. The doctors think he's going to make a full recovery. They want him to take it easy for 6-8 weeks, just to make sure everything heals up the right way. He should be coming home tomorrow." He told me, pulling me into his arms.
"Don't worry. When he gets home, you 2 will have plenty of time to discuss everything. Hush, it's going to be alright, I promise." Dave whispered, holding me close.
**Chester's POV**
I tried calling Mike's phone, but it was turned off. I was really scared that I freaked him out last night and he never wanted to speak to me again. How could I have been so stupid as to tell him, in front of everyone no less, how I truly felt? I was so naive. Visiting hours were almost over and no Mike. I was almost convinced that he truly did hate me.
My nurse came by with another dose of pain medication, and I felt myself drifting into sleep. I awoke a few hours later, feeling the nurse cleaning and applying new bandages to my various cuts and lacerations. She checked all my vitals, then immediately called the head nurse, as I was running a pretty high fever. The head nurse gave me some tylenol and told me to drink lots of fluids. I didn't like her much! I eventually drifted back off to sleep.
When I awoke the next morning, Phoenix, Joe, and Brad were sitting in my room. They all asked how I was feeling, and making small talk. These guys are my best friends, but the only one I was really interested in talking to was Mike. They all told me he would be by later to see me. I doubted it. I was yearning to be back in Mike's arms. To hear his heart beating, to look into those beautiful dark eyes, to see that infamous Shinoda grin, to feel those marvelous lips pressed to mine.
**A day later, when Chester is ready to leave the hospital**
I was wheeled to Rob's Expedition, clinging to the bear Mike sent to me for dear life. It was like, if I let this bear go I would lose him forever. Brad rode in the passenger seat, with Joe sitting next to me in the back. The whole ride home, I wondered what happened to Mike. I felt horrible, I just knew I had ruined our relationship forever, no going back.
I was lost in my thoughts when we pulled into our driveway. There was a HUGE homemade "Welcome Home" sign that Mike had obviously made. I smiled when I saw it. There was a wonderful smell radiating from the house, and I couldn't figure out what it was. With Rob holding my left arm and Joe holding my right, we walk into the house. Phoenix greets us, and offers to take my bear, but I refuse to let it go.
"Mike was cooking dinner for....." He voice trails off.
"Hi guys, glad your back. Chester!!!" He screeches, as he rushed over to me.
"Hi there Mike. What smells so good?" I ask, trying not to show my disappointment at him not coming to visit me in the hospital.
"It's my Japanese favorite. I was hoping you would have a decent appetite after eating hospital food." He said, smiling, relief evident on his face that I was alright.
I hobbled over to the couch with my bear. Soon we hear Mike calling everyone to dinner. I sit, staring at the face of my bear, on the verge of tears. Suddenly, I feel eyes upon me. I look up and a small smile plays upon my lips. Mike is standing there, holding 2 plates, and grinning like he's won the lottery. His face makes me smile.
"I didn't think you wanted to move around too much, so I brought our food so we could eat quietly together." He said, looking into my eyes.
"I...we.... what I mean is...." I could barely speak
"Chaz, I never came to see you in the hospital because I've been here working. On our room. I wanted everything to be perfect for you when you got home. Besides, I had an errand or 2 I needed to run before you came home. You don't know how much I've cried with you gone." He confessed, before he started blushing.
I could't say anything as the tears started to fall. I just sat there, staring at him. Wanting him, feeling like a school-girl with a crush. I could see tears welling up in his eyes too.
"Mike, I've been so afraid you hated me after what I said. I just knew you didn't feel the way I do." I finally said, letting the tears flow.
"Chester, I've loved you for a long time. It just shocked me that you felt the same way. And when you finally tell me, you were taken away from me before I could tell you how I truly feel." Mike said, as his tears began to fall too
"You...you....you love me?" I asked, questioningly.
"Absolutely. That's why I've been rearranging my room to make it OUR room". He said quietly.
We talked a while longer, getting our true feelings out. We were both crying, but they were happy tear. I wasn't such a fool after all! I told him of what happened after Rob left and how I was only thinking of him. He told me of his conversations with Phoenix and what all he'd done to my (and now mine and his)room. As everyone re-entered the living room, Mike could tell I was getting tired. So he helped me to bed. As I lay there, in his arms, listening to his heart beat, I whispered to him
"I love you Mike"
Before I drifted off to sleep, I heard him whisper back
"I love you too, Chaz."
