The early morning had completely wiped Jonny's memories of its troubles and with a clear conscience he walked into the bathroom to go about his morning duties. Slowly he stripped off his clothes, tossing them on the floor. As he stripped he revealed a body that would have driven any man crazy. He came out of the shower and when he came out of the bathroom, dressed only in a towel, Ryan sat there, staring at him. "Good Morning" he said simply. Jonny made a grab for his old clothes that lay in a pile by the bed. "You don't have to put the on you know, I still have some of your clothes in my closet." Ryan walked into his small closet and shortly returned with a pair of jeans and a Dark Green T-Shirt. "Your favorite outfit right?" He smiled and offered it to the still naked boy before him. "T-Thanks" Jonny shivered as the air whipped about his body, cooling every inch of his wet skin. After Jonny got dressed he sat down to the most beautiful breakfast plate he had ever seen. He took petite bites of his toast and small sips of his orange juice, as the situation before him made his stomach tingle with nervousness. Shortly after eating, he thanked Ryan and quickly returned to his car, all the while thinking about how he would explain his midnight dissapearance. "What am I going to do?" Jonny asked his car, who responded with only the slightest hum. "I didn't think you'd have anything to tell me..." He sighed, driving back to the Elemont. When he returned to the hotel, he took extra care to walk slowly up to the elevator and to walk slowly back to Ethan's room. The minute he inserted the key, the door swung open, and there stood Ethan and Andy. "Where have you been!?" Ethan grabbed Jonny around the waist pulling him into the room, letting the door shut with a "bang." "I um, I... spent the night into my room, it was... too cold for me." Jonny lied. "We called your room, why didn't you pick up?" Andy interjected. "Um... I may have been out at my car, I was looking for a textbook." Jonny quickly thought up an excuse before walking into Ethan's room. "I, um.. I have to change." He quickly shut the door, making sure to rustle his clothes as if he were in a hurry. "Jonny, are you okay?" Ethan had opened the door, and had peeked his head into the room. The petite blonde sat down on the bed, and sighed a "yes." Andy and Ethan continued to watch Jonny throughout the day, even opting to forget their appointments to stay at home with him. The threesome spent most of the day in front of the TV watching movies off Dvds or whatever was on at the moment. Neither Andy nor Ethan had worked up the nerve to talk to Jonny, who had devoted himself to hugging a small green pillow that perfectly complimented the boy's beautiful green eyes. They all knew that Jonny wasn't really paying attention to what was on the TV screen, but he was... scared of something. After hours of quiet TV time, Andy and Ethan stood up, and started talking about what they were going to have for lunch. Jonny however, sat there, completely oblivious to their discussion. "Jonny?" Andy waved his hand in front of the the blonde "H-Huh?" Jonny looked up, startled. He had tried so hard to just shut his brain down, wanting to forget his problems. "Jonny, we decided to go eat sushi! It's your favorite right?" He clapped his hands together and smiled. This drew a forced smile from Jonny, who reluctantly got up and was ushered into Ethan's car. The three ate in a small private booth in the corner of the restaurant. Jonny ate very little, and was quickly admonished by Ethan for constantly being lost in thought. "Jonny, eat please?" Andy begged, offering a piece of sushi between his chopsticks. Ethan, not to be outdone, quickly offered a piece with his. The meal continued with the boys feeding their companion. "I'm so sorry" Jonny blurted out abruptly. "I'm so sorry I made you all worry, and... and thanks for taking care of me." He said, before looking down at his lap in shame. "Jonny, what's wrong? Really." Ethan asked, putting his arm around his lover, pulling him close. "I just... had a difficult choice to make, but I think, I've figured it out." Jonny replied, smiling a little. For the first time today, Jonny had smiled, and in that one instant, Ethan felt his worries melt away. Slowly Jonny picked up his chopsticks and began eating. "Um... ya'll can go back first okay? I have a doctor's appointment to get to." Andy got up and excused himself. After Ethan and Jonny returned to the hotel room, the two spent their alone time in bed, snuggling with each other. Ethan put his arm around Jonny, relishing the feeling of his slender, seemingly fragile body against his own stalwart body. He looked at the boy in his arms and felt his body tingle as he hugged the already lightly dozing teen Jonny's golden hair gently draped over his closed eyes, and his slightly open mouth, gave him the appearance and grace of a sleeping angel.
