Michael groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, being a little shocked at the weight on him as he came to his senses. Ray was still sleeping on him, Michael smiled a bit and kissed the younger’s forehead. Ray stirred a bit in his sleep before waking up and smiling at his boyfriend.

“Morning Michael” Ray said softly before kissing the redhead’s lips lightly. Michael hummed in response and wrapped his arms around the shorter. Michael pulled away and looked his boyfriend in the eyes.

“Thank you for last night” Michael said lowly. It was sex wasn’t it? For some reason it didn’t feel right to Michael though, something was wrong about last night. He shrugged it off as him not knowing too much about the subject in the first place. Ray nodded and ran his fingers through tangled curly hair. Ray placed a small peck on the older’s bruise now fully formed on his face before getting up to get dressed. Michael sighed as he watched the shorter get dressed but ray stopped moving after slipping on his shirt.

“You know I love you Michael, right?” Ray said softly. Michael stood up quickly and hugged Ray tightly. He spent a few minutes placing soft kisses down the younger’s neck and shoulder.

“Of course, it was my fault you hurt me last night, I should’ve calmed down” Michael sighed. Ray hummed and nodded, leaving Michael to finish getting dressed. Michael gathered up his own clothes and went to find some new ones in his bedroom. After finishing up their morning routine Michael drove them to the office. It was quiet for a while with them being the only ones in the office. Slowly the others came in with groans and half-tired ‘good morning’s. Once Geoff entered Michael threw him an ecstatic smile, a smile telling him that he had news for him. Geoff sighed in his chair and got up to meet Michael outside of the office.

“What happened now?” Geoff sighed as Michael exited, closing the door behind him. Michael's smile only grew.

“Well, I took Ray back to my place and he...well...we had sex” Michael said, his expression still the one of a child on Christmas. Geoff nearly spit out the coffee he had just taken a sip of.

“You’re fucking joking right?” Geoff asked but Michael only shook his head. Geoff shifted his position before shaking his head and looking at the younger with worried eyes.

“What exactly happened?” Geoff asked, he had a bad gut feeling and it bothered him to even ask.

“Well...it was a bit forceful but it was fine, really Geoff” Michael smiled warmly. Geoff shook his head, something was off. Michael was not acting right, for some reason Geoff thought the younger’s reaction was wrong.

“Alright… alright, I’m glad you’re not afraid anymore” the older sighed and nodded. Michael nodded back and pulled Geoff in for a hug before pulling to face the man closer than before.

Thats what was wrong. How the hell didn’t he notice?

“Michael? Where did you get that bruise?”  Geoff asked, grabbing the younger’s face to inspect it closer. The redhead just pulled away and shook his head.


“I ran into the damn wall last night, fucking idiot I am” Michael chuckled. Geoff wasn’t about to believe it for a second but sighed and told him to be more careful before re-entering the office. He noticed Ray giving him a glare, staring at him as he took his seat. Something was not right and Geoff was going to find out what.
