Only The Good Die Young

"Okay, you take a left up here," Vic directs Mike. It would have been easier for VIc to just drive, but a sudden increase in traffic prevented them from switching. Mike nods and follows the instructions, then a right up here, and . . . There!" He points at a small bed and breakfest nestled between two large buildings. "Hime and I can get out and book rooms while you and Tone go to the parking complez," Vic informs Mike, who just nods and drops them off at the curb with the luggage.

Tony crawls over the console and takes the passenger's seat. "Have you stayed there before?" Tony questions.

"Yeah, we almost always stay there. Mostly because it's dirt cheap and way better than a dingy motel," Mike says, tapping the steering wheel impatiently when the traffic light turns red. "And we can usually get a bit of special treatment because we know the people and they really like us."

"Oh," Tony nods. "It looks pretty cute."

"Tony, your gay is showing," Mike teases with a smile.

Tony leans over and kisses Mike, who gladly kisses back. Tony pulls back. "Your gay is showing too Mike."

"Shut up," Mike says with a roll of his eyes. Tony was really too cute for his own good, not that Mike was complaining about it.

Tony laughs and reaches over to clasp Mike's free hand in his own. Mike jumps, Tony was being more affectionate today than he had been the entire time they've been dating (?), though that wasn't official yet. Mike smiles and gently holds Tony's hand.

"I love you," Mike mumbles without thinking.

"Huh?" Tony gives him a confused look.

"Nothing," Mike says shaking his head. He couldn't believe he actually said that. Mike pulls into the parking complex, he pays and heads to the right spot.

"This is a really nice city," Tony muses. "It's big, but not too big. And it's by the coast, which is really nice."

"You haven't even seen the half of it," Mike responds, turning off the car. "There's this place I really wanna show you later, but let's focus on seeing if Hime and Vic got us the good rooms." Mike locks the doors before they leave the complex. Mike interlocks in hands with Tony's again. he really liked holding Tony's hands, they were masculine and calloused, but still felt good against his own rough hands. On the walk back to the bed and breakfast Mike tells Tony about all the buildings and such they were seeing. He even takes a "secret" short cut across a georgous park, where he even pauses a moment to watch the ducks swim across the pond.

"You're more of a romantic than a partier," Tony jabs at Mike jokingly.

"Only for you Tone," Mike says with a smile. "You bring out the best of me." Mike leads him through the shortcut and they end up just across the street from the bed and breakfast. Mike pulls Tony across the street quickly when there's a lull in the traffic. Tony was pretty sure j-walking was against the law, but they didn't get caught, so now he supposed it was okay.
They enter the homey building and find Vic and Jaime talking to an older couple happily.
"Mikey!" The woman exclaims, walking over and giving Mike a big hug. She turns to Tony and announces, "And you must be his new boyfriend, Tony!" She wraps her arms around Tony as well.

So this is what Mike meant by they 'knew the people well.' Tony thinks.

"I'm Olivia and that's my husband Marcus," she says, motioning to her husband who was still talking to Vic and Jaime.

"It's very nice to meet you Olivia," Tony says with a polite handshake.

"He's very nice Michael, you should keep him," Olivia tells Mike as though Tony wasn't there. "You got your normal room, Jaime took your stuff up there," Olivia adds, as though she had nearly forgotten.

"Thank Liv," Mike says with a smile. "C'mon Tony, I'll show you to our room~" Mike pulls Tony upstairs and down the hall to the last bedroom. Mike opens the door for Tony, who awkwardly enters. he always felt weird being in somethign that was classified as someone elses home.

Tony scans the room, it was older looking with two twin bed. The curtains and bed spread were floral print with large pink roses and dark green on them. There's a bathroom off of the room, and out the window you can see a decent view of the street. Mike suddenly tackles Tony back on the bed.

"Nice, isn't it?" Mike says, ghosting his hands across Tony's side, causing him to laugh. Mike smiles and continues to tickle Tony, he really liked the other boy's laugh, especially when it was accompanied by a smile. THis was just as good though. Tony manages to reverse the roles and starts to tickle Mike.

"Jaime and I are gonna go down to the board walk, do you wanna come?" Vic suddenly calls.

"Yes!" Tony calls back, rolling off of Mike.

"Then hurry up!" Vic announces.

Notes

So, yeah. A third update this weekend. There might even be a fourth later!

So yeah, cute stuff will probably ensue in the next chapter.

I once again apologize for the fact this is sort've a story without a plot. It just a series of events. Cx
