Part III:
Theodore raised his head from the pillow and looked at his phone, lying on the nightstand. He frowned as he flipped it open to answer.
“And’, love, it’s past one there… what are you still doing up?” He sat up in bed, adjusting the pillows to prop himself up.
“I couldn’t sleep.”
“So you called me to wake me up, so I wouldn’t be sleeping, either?” Theodore teased lightly.
“No. I knew you’d be awake.”
Theodore smiled at Andrew’s smart remark. “Couldn’t sleep, huh?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“The bed’s lonely without you.”
Theodore’s eyes drifted over his own bed and the small, empty hotel room.
“I miss you too, And’. I can’t wait to be done with this trip and be home, again.”
“Mm… Are you sure you can’t duck out early?” Andrew asked, only half-serious.
“I would if I could, love.” Theodore murmured sadly. “But it’s only a few more days.”
“I know.”
Theodore heard the shifting of blankets. “You crashed out on the couch?”
“No, I made it to bed tonight. You would probably be surprised at the laziness I am capable of when you’re not around.”
“So I’m actually a good influence on you, then?”
“You keep me on my toes.” Andrew teased.
“Well, I’m glad you keep me around for something, then.”
“That and the sex.”
Theodore laughed.
“Which, you will be happy to note, I am completely better, and so there will be no shortage of post-business trip sex once you get home.”
“I’ll make sure to get a lot of sleep on the plane then, to be ready for you.”
“Did I already say how much I miss you?”
“Yes, but I know you need to say it, and I don’t mind hearing it.”
“Mm.”
“Do you want me to tell you a bedtime story, to put you to sleep?”
“That’s sweet, but I don’t think it will work, love.”
“No? All right then.” Theodore leaned his head back and closed his eyes. He knew without asking how Andrew looked at that moment, lying in their bed, the blankets pulled to his shoulder as he lay on his side in that strange, half-curled position he so often adopted. “Pretend I’m there, lying next to you.”
Andrew listened quietly.
“Just lying there… holding you in my arms. Maybe rocking you, just barely. Everything is quiet and still… the room is dark around us…”
Andrew blinked slowly. He smiled softly, a slow, sleepy smile. “I’m wearing those pajamas you like so much.”
“The soft pants?”
“None other.”
“Well in that case, we’re cuddled close. I can feel your body against mine…”
“…rubbing my hip…”
“Yes… That fabric is unnaturally soft. And you look so good in it.” Theodore’s voice was slow and melodious as he continued, lulling both he and Andrew into sleep, “Only you can wear goofy pajamas and still completely entrap me…”
“Mm… Goodnight, Teddy.”
“Goodnight, And’. I love you.”
I’ll see you soon.
