Chad walked into the living room of the cabin Jared had moved them in to. He had no idea where his friend was. He’d checked everywhere in the house and had been about to head outside to check there, when he’d walked in and seen Mikey curled up on the couch. Heading over, Chad perched on the edge, looking down at the other man.

The familiar bald head was hidden these days beneath Mikey’s normal dark hair. His hair was about the same length as “Dean’s” used to be when Jen was still on Supernatural. Chad was slightly surprised when he found himself resisting the urge to run his fingers through it. He’d never really looked at Mikey in that way. Hell, he didn’t usually look at most guys that way, which isn’t to say he’d never been with a man before. He had, just not for anything other than a convenience factor.

Usually chicks were Chad’s normal style, but lately he’d just been tired of all the drama that seemed to come with the women he attracted. Not to mention he didn’t seem to have that much “women-sense”. They just baffled him. He never seemed to have the appropriate response to any situation and spent more time arguing and apologizing than doing anything fun. His time away served as a much needed breather and some 2 or 3 months into the movie he’d realized the only ones he missed were guys.

So there he sat - Jared still missing - staring at Mike as he slept (slightly less than peacefully, but better than he had been at home), fighting off the urge to stroke the newly grown hair on his head to see if it was as soft and fuzzy as his own. Chad had never really cared for Tom. He’d never understood what people saw in him. He got the whole tall, dark, blue eyes thing but he didn’t get how you could look at him and not see all his sins. Maybe Chad was too close to be objective. He’d love to take some off of Tom’s ass, but he doubted once Jared got a hold of him there would be anything left of it.

Giving in to his urge to touch, Chad reached out and laid a hand on Mike’s head, fingers rubbing against the dark peach fuzz covering his scalp. It was as soft as he’d thought it would be. Moving his hand downward, Chad brushed Mike’s temple then cheek before letting his hand rest there, cupping the side of the other man’s face. The bruises were fading, the nightmares not as quickly. Moving his hand again Chad touched Mike’s lips with his fingertips before standing and leaving the cabin.

The temptation was just too much, and Mike wasn’t ready for what Chad had in mind.
