Beta: the lovely creampuffsteph I know I know. Why do I go through so many beta's? Simply because I am needy and like having my fic's beta-ed while i'm online with that person, so I go with who's online at the time.
Summary: Chris goes for a run after the night he had before to clear his head.
The next morning Chris wakes up to a phone ringing and someone beside him babbling in their sleep.
“Mmmmm no mom. No I don’t wanna go out. I wanna stay in. And sleeep. Sleep is goooood.”
Chris leans over and hits Zach with a pillow trying to wake him up as his phone is ringing.
“What do you mean answer my phone? My phone is off. It’s yours that is ringing, ass.” Zach replies, rolling over to go back to sleep.
It turns out to just be a text from Karl wondering how last night went, without all the details that happened in between. He turns off the phone completely, deciding that when they finally wake back up, that he’d answer any texts or calls he gets.
“Just a text from Karl. I turned off the phone. Let’s go back to bed” Chris suggests, rubbing his eye.
Zach had already taken him up on that suggestion as he is quickly back to sleep before Chris can say anything more. Chris more then willing joins him, cuddling into Zach’s back, draping an arm around him.
They sleep for another couple hours when Chris’ morning jog alarm goes off. He lets Zach sleep and wakes up as silent as possible to change. He’s gotten into a routine that he doesn’t want to disturb just because someone spent the night.
“Zach. Gone for a jog. Will talk when I get back.” Chris writes on a note before leaving for his run.
During his run, Chris finds time to think about the past 6 months, his relationship with Zach, and of course last night.
But I was in love with Zach. Chris thinks to himself
But he hurt you. Look how he made you feel when he walked out on you like that.
He said he wanted me to come chase him
He’s using you.
Zach can’t be using me. He’s not like that. Never was never will be.
His mind continues to think that way for a little longer until he has to stop and catch his breath. It seemed the more he thought that way, the faster he ran, and the harder his lungs closed in, causing him to lose focus. So he stops and checks his phone, making use of his break, to see if Zach had left him any indication that he woke up and found the note.
After a 5 minute break from running, he figures that no message from Zach means he’s not up yet, and runs back to his starting point.
Just talk to him. It’s now or never Chris thinks to himself, again.
I know. I know, but last night was something. Something else. And I don’t want to ruin that with a “Zach we need to discuss our relationship” chat.
Apparently thinking to himself back and forth made time go faster. He wasn’t sure if it’s because he didn’t go as far as usual, or if the now or never scenario of talking to his friend took over his legs and made him run faster. When he gets back to his apartment though, he discovers that it was not a discussion he was looking forward to doing, but rather more seeing Zach once more.
“Hey Zach. I don’t know if you got my note or not, but I’m back from my run.” He calls out.
After a minute or two of silence, he goes into the bedroom to see why Zach wasn’t answering. He thought that maybe he was still asleep, but it was unlike him to sleep past nine. The bed is made, but Zach’s clothes from the night before are still there, causing Chris to become a little more confused as where he could have went while he was out.
Figuring that Zach is currently MIA and he has just come back from an hour’s long run or so, Chris thinks it’s a good time for a shower. Maybe standing underneath boiling hot water will help him think clearer, as his run did not do so.
