"Guy's I have some bad news" said Gary.

"Oh, God has something else happened" said Howie.

"No, but they caught a man in the terminal with a knife. They've shut down the Orlando airport until they can be assured it's safe."

"So what does that mean for us" said AJ.

"Your going to have to lay over here tonight" said Gary.

"Here, where are we going to stay. We can't get a suite without reservations" said Howie.

"I've managed to get you rooms at the Anitole. Their is one problem though. I could only get 2 rooms. One single and one double" said Gary.

"We have to double up" said Nick.

"Looks that way. Look, I'm sorry guys but their's a convention in town. The manger said we were lucky to find anything without reservations."

"I guess it doesn't matter how big you get. It will be like the old days. Remember when we used share rooms" said Kevin.

"God, don't remind me of that. I thought I would never get any sleep with Brian's tossing and turning" said AJ.

"Nick, you coming" said AJ.

"Huh, yeah."

Ok, what's up" said AJ.

"Nothings up" said Nick hoping to sound convincing.

"Come on, you don't space out without a reason said Kevin.

"What, I was thinking.

"About..."

"About Raisins."

"Raisins" said Kevin raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, you know their natures favorite fruit" said Nick

"So who wants to take the single" said Kevin.

"I'm cool with it. Nick you want to share with me" said Howie.

"No." said Nick almost shouting.

"Hey, I was just asking" said Howie.

"Sorry, I. Let someone else listen to you snore" said Nick.

"No more jokes about my snoring, alright" said Howie.

"Guy's I'm tired. I would like to get some sleep sometime before the next millennium" said AJ irritated.

"Ok. AJ,Kevin and I will take the double. You and Nick take the single and we'll all get some sleep" said Brian.

"Come on Brian, you..."

"Look it's not that bad just wake him up if he starts snoring" said Brian.

Not that bad. He was about to spend a whole night alone with Howie in the same bed

"Nick, come on" said Howie.

"Coming."

"So what side do you want. Right or left?" asked Howie.

"I can just take a blanket and sleep on the floor" replied Nick.

"Don't be silly, theirs plenty of room. Your not sleeping on the floor. "I'm going to go change. You take whatever side you want" said Howie.

Pulling a t-shirt out of his bag Nick frowned as he sat down on the bed. What difference did it make which side he took. Either way he was going to be sleeping next to Howie.

"It's all yours" said Howie appearing in the doorway half dressed.

"Thanks" replied Nick nervously.

"Did you decide which side you want" said Howie.

"Doesn't matter to me" said Nick as he disappeared into the bathroom. Closing the door he turned on the sink splashing the cool water on his face. I can't do this. I...God. No I have to get a hold of myself. It's only one night. I'm tired, I'll just fall asleep. Then I won't be awake to think. Pulling the grey sweatpants snugly around his waist. He took a last look in the mirror before switching off the light. Quietly crawling in beside him he stared at Howie, already asleep. Running a hand down his face Nick smiled, he was beautiful,he was perfect. Pulling his hand away he froze as he saw Howie open his eyes.

"It's ok" said Howie.

"I thought you were asleep. I was just...I'm sorry I woke you" said Nick. Trailing his hand down Nick's face Nick shuddered as Howie lightly brushed his lips against his. His eyes growing wide he stared at Howie confused.

"I don't understand" said Nick.

"I'm already there. Take a look around. I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind, I'm your very best friend. And I know your in my heart. Don't make a sound. I'm the beat in your heart, the moonlight shining down. I'm the whisper in the wind and I'll be there till the end. Can you feel, the love that I have, I'm already there."

"But how, I mean..." said Nick.

"No buts" said Howie leaning into him as he kissed his lips. Returning the kiss with heated passion Nick felt his head spin. The minutes seemed to pass in a blur. Their clothes now a crumpled pile on the floor. Nick's lips met Howie's as he slowly eased him onto the bed. His hands sliding over Howie's chest. his tongue gently teased each nipple making them hard. Howie's hard erection now wet with pre-cum he thrust into Nick's thigh sending shockwaves through Nick's body. He knew he should take it slow. Knew that he should savor what he dreamed about for so long but he longed for release. Longed to feel Howie inside him. Nick's mouth finding his cock Howie arched his back as he felt an incredible rush of pleasure build inside him as he exploded filling Nicks mouth with cum. Pulling away, the taste of the cum filling his mouth like some vial liquid Nick found himself wanting to gag. Howie's hand cupping Nicks ass he rolled him over. His hard erection thrusting into Nick he moaned as his lips meet Nicks.

"Howie please" said Nick in an almost pleading voice.

"Please what."

"Please I want you, make love to me" said Nick.

Fumbling for his clothes Howie pulled the small tube from his jeans pocket.

"Turn over" instructed Howie as he squeezed the lube into his hands. Spreading Nick's legs he felt Nick's body suddenly tense as the cold lube touched his skin.

"Howie, I've..I've never done it" said Nick.

"What, you mean...I just assumed. God I don't want to hurt you" said Howie.

"It's ok. Please..." said Nick trying to hide his fear.

"Your sure about this"

Nodding he closed his eyes as Howie s fingers began to slide in and out. Biting his lip Nick fought back the tears as Howie spread his cheeks apart and slide the head of his cock inside. Sliding the length of his cock inside him Howie moaned as Nick's body tightened around him. He knew he was close but he wanted to hold back, wanted to...

"Shit" said Nick burying his head in the pillow as he erupted inside of Howie. Shuddering he heard a slight moan escape Howie's lips as he came with a hard force. Pulling out of Nick Howie fought to catch his breath as he rolled onto his back.

"Howie, I love you" said Nick.

"I know" said Howie smiling.

"How, I mean..."

"Just sleep, we can talk about this in the morning" said Howie.

"But..."

"No buts, just sleep."

"You won't leave will you" said Nick.

'I'm not going anywhere" said Howie. Closing his eyes. Howie smiled as Nick wrapped his arms around him. He was finally where he had longed to be. Staring at the clock as the hours slowly passed Howie knew Nick would soon awake to sound of the alarm clock. Crawling out of bed he searched his suitcase for a fresh change of clothes. Putting on his favorite sweater and jeans he kissed Nick on the forehead. Quietly closing the door behind him he made his way down the empty hallway to the elevator. If he was lucky he could manage to sneak into the lobby un-noticed. Smiling at the elderly woman as he exited the elevator he was surprised to find the lobby empty. Fumbling through his pocket he pulled out two quarters and placed them in the machine. Pulling out the paper he took a seat and began to scan the headlines as the thoughts of last night floated through his head. Jumping as a hand touched his shoulder he turned to see Nick. Your up early. You had another ten minutes on the alarm" said Howie.

"You were gone. Please, tell me I wasn't dreaming" said Nick.

"Dreaming?"

"Last night" said Nick.

"You were sleeping like a baby when I left" said Howie.

"Sleeping, then it was all a dream. It seemed so real" said Nick.

"I have dreams like that" said Howie.

"Here make a wish" said Howie handing him a penny.

"A wish."

"The fountain. My mom says you should always make a wish" said Howie.

"You make it" said Nick frowning.

"What can it hurt" said Howie.

"Fine" said Nick. Making a wish as he watched the penny float to the bottom.

"I'm going to go take a shower" said Nick.

"What did you wish for" said Howie.

"Nothing, because that's all reality is, nothing."

"Come on, what did you really wish for" said Howie.

"One more night with you" said Nick hanging his head.

"Be careful what you wish for. It just might come true." said Howie smiling.
