Disjointed Heart

Chapter Nineteen

"Hm... I think we should go with Friends. I've watched a few random episodes on TV, it's pretty funny." Mike pointed at the box and Chester nodded before he put 'Full House' back on the shelf and took Mike's hand as he walked to the cashier.

He handed the box to the young lady and she smiled politely at them, "this will be 20 dollars." Chester quickly handed her the money, not making eye contact even once, however, he noticed how she looked at Mike and a tinge of jealousy courses through him as he clenched his teeth and held Mike's hand tighter, wanting to show her that they were together.

Mike smiled at his lover when he felt his hand being squeezed and kissed the top of his head, giving the lady a hint as she swallowed and handed them their bag before smiling. "Thanks for buying with us, have a good day."

"What did you buy?" Chester asked as they made their way out of the mall, and Mike tried not to blush.

"O-oh, you know, shampoo and toothpaste."

The blonde man only nodded, turning toward his boyfriend. "Are we going to start watching Friends today? Did you have anything else planned?"

Mike couldn't help but smiled at hearing the eagerness in the blonde man's voice, he already knew that his boyfriend was more excited about them having something in common that they could talk about, a shared obsession that they could indulge together, than the fact that they were about to start watching a brand new TV show.

His boyfriend wanted to be closer to Mike this way, have some kind of a routine, or it was what the half Asian could get from how he was reacting. The deliveryman took the older man's hand in his, squeezing it tightly, before he smiled. "Of course, Ches. I'll get us some snacks and we can watch Friends all afternoon."

The blonde man smiled at him. "I love you."

"I love you too, Ches."

They had been watching the show for about three hours now. When Mike had set foot in his apartment, he had told his lover to settle on the couch, set the VHS as he get the snacks, before quickly going to his bedroom to hide the condoms and lube away. He came back with chips, cookies, soft drinks and even some candies.

"I didn't know you had so much junk food." Chester said.

"I even have popcorn and ice cream." Mike said, "If you want some."

The blonde man laughed, before he took the blanket that was on the end of the couch as he draped it over him and Mike. He cuddled close to his lover before he took a can of coke and opened it.

"I'm ready." He said, and Mike stretched an arm around his lover, so he could lean more into him so they could be cozy.

"Alright, let's do this."

The time passed smoothly as the two lovers laughed and cuddled together until Chester had a fit of laughter because of something Phoebe had said, so far she was his favorite character.

The blonde choked on his drink and almost spilled it all on Mike's face as the half Asian paused the show to help his lover calm down, but ended up laughing as well.

"My belly is hurting." Chester said between laughs and gasps for air as he clutched his belly.

"Mine too." Mike replied as tears of laughter got out of his eyes, they didn't even know why exactly they were laughing anymore, everything just seemed to be funny.

When they calmed down, they took deep breaths and just looked at one another until Chester commented, "I love this show."

"I'm glad we chose this one." Mike smiled and sighed happily, a smile still plastered on his face. "Can I push play?" Chester nodded with a giggle and they were back on it.
