Hayden and Paul -- Part 3

The sun rose over New York, bringing the end to another night Hayden and
Paul spent together.  Paul's eyes opened slowly adjusting to the light as
he woke up. He took a deep breath and stretched out a bit while still lying
in bed. He turned his head to see that Hayden was still asleep.  He
silently watched Hayden sleeping. He watched Hayden's chest, almost
mesmerized as it rose and fell with every breath he took. Paul watched
Hayden take a deep breath, hold it, and then exhale. He looked up at Hayden
and saw that his eyes were still closed. Paul admired Hayden for a second
when Hayden said in a sleepy voice "Morning." Paul answered "Good morning."
Hayden slowly opened his eyes to see Paul smiling at him. "What are you
smiling at this early?"  Hayden asked in the same sleepy voice. Paul pulled
the covers over him as he curled up closer to Hayden and answered, "Its
just nice to see you." Hayden smiled in response and put his arms around
Paul in pulled him in closer to him. "So how'd you sleep last night?"
Hayden asked Paul.  "Like a baby." Paul answered. As he answered, Paul
noticed that Hayden's eyes had closed again. Paul lay close to Hayden and
looked up at him. As he looked at Hayden it dawned on him, "Today is the
last day that Hayden I have to ourselves before we have to go back to
work." he thought. It had occurred to him before, but he had put it out of
his mind. Paul was comforted by the thought of Hayden spending the time he
had left in New York with him, at his place. "What are you thinking about?"
Paul heard Hayden say, bringing him back from his daze. Caught off guard,
Paul asked "What?" Hayden proceeded "You were staring off into space there
for a while.  What were you thinking about?" Paul stammered for a few
seconds, trying to avoid telling Hayden what he was really thinking
about. Hayden interrupted Paul and said "Don't worry about it. Even if we
both have to go back to work tomorrow, we still have about a week
together." Paul just smiled, partly at Hayden's comforting words, and party
knowing that Hayden had the same concerns he did. As it turned out Hayden
thought the same thing, but he resolved just to make the best of the time
they had left, and worry about everything else later.

Hayden then sat up in bed, pulling Paul up at the same time so they were
both leaning on the head of the bed. Hayden pulled Paul into him closer
with his arm still around Paul's shoulder.  "So you hungry? 'Cause I'm
starving?" Hayden said. Paul told Hayden that he was hungry too and Hayden
reached over and grabbed the phone. Before he dialled room service he asked
"What do you want?" Paul thought for a second and answered "I'll just have
scrambled eggs and toast."  Hayden picked up the receiver and once the man
on other end answered he said "Yeah, good morning. This is Mr. Christensen
in the suite 2100. Could you please send up two orders of scrambled eggs,
toast and orange juice please?" The man took the order and told Hayden he
would send it up as soon as it was ready. Hayden and Paul then both sank
back into bed, still in each other's arms. Paul's head was leaning on
Hayden's shoulder, and Hayden brought his hand up and gently ran his
fingers through his hair. Paul looked up and smiled at Hayden. Paul sat up
a little more so that he was in a better position when he leaned forward
and kissed Hayden.  Hayden responded by bringing his hand up, running it
behind Paul's neck, and holding his head while they kissed. Just as they
were getting into it, they heard a knock at the door followed by a man
saying "Room service sir." Hayden pulled away from Paul, almost
disappointed. He pulled the covers back and said "I'll be right back."
Before he could get out of bed, Paul grabbed his arm and stopped him. "I'll
get this. Remember, you paid for lunch yesterday, and so it's my turn."
Hayden just smiled coyly for a second and asked "Are you sure you want to
answer the door to my hotel room in just a pair of running shorts first
thing in the morning?" Paul smiled and let go of Hayden's hand as he said
"I guess you're right. But I'll get the next one." Hayden agreed as he
laughed and walked to the door. "Good morning Mr. Christensen. Two orders
of scrambled eggs, toast and orange juice as you ordered." Just then, the
man started to wheel the cart into the room, when Hayden grabbed it and
stopped him before he got in. "Uh, I'll take it from here. Thank you."
Hayden tipped the man and once he left, Hayden pulled the cart in, right up
to the bed.

Hayden brought one tray of food and placed it on Paul's lap as Paul sat
up. Then he grabbed his own and sat next to Paul. They lay in bed next to
each other as they had their breakfast. Once they were done eating, they
put their trays back on the cart and sat in bed for a few minutes. Paul
turned to Hayden and asked "So you still want to spend the rest of the week
at my place right?"  Hayden reached down and grabbed Paul's hand and lifted
up to his lips as he kissed it. He looked right at Paul and then answered
"There isn't anything you can do to stop me." Paul smiled in response and
reassumed his position resting his head on Hayden's shoulder. Hayden still
held on to Paul's hand. Eventually Hayden turned his head and looked at
Paul, and said "How 'bout we continue this at your place?" Paul agreed and
they got out of bed and started getting ready to head out. Hayden rummaged
through his suitcase looking for an extra razor and toothbrush for Paul. He
found them and tossed them to Paul who was headed into the bathroom. Hayden
packed a few of his things and headed into the bathroom and found Paul
standing in front of the mirror, still wearing only a pair of shorts with
his face covered in shaving cream and a razor in his hand.  Hayden, also
still just in shorts walked up behind Paul. He put his hands around Paul's
waist and laid his chin on Paul's shoulder. Hayden gently kissed Paul
behind his ear a number of times as he ran his hands up Paul's naked
torso. Hayden's hands traced their way up Paul's chest and then he grabbed
the razor from his hand. "Let me?" Hayden asked. Paul handed Hayden the
razor and dropped his hands. Hayden, still standing behind Paul had his
hands under Paul's arms. Hayden gently brought the razor up to Paul's face
and paused for a second. Paul looked into Hayden's eyes through the
reflection in the mirror and said "Go ahead Hayden. I trust you." Hayden
could not help but smile at that comment. He then proceeded to shave Paul's
face, returning it to the smoothness Hayden loved. Hayden brought his hands
down and turned Paul around, so they were face to face. He raised his hands
again and finished shaving Paul. Once he was done, Hayden reached behind
Paul and ran his hands under the running water. He then wiped Paul's face
clean of any shaving cream left behind. Once Hayden's hands were under
Paul's chin, he pulled Paul's face in close to his and their lips met in a
kiss. Paul opened his mouth and let Hayden's tongue slowly enter. Their
tongues wrestled as Paul's hands held Hayden in the kiss.  Their mouths
slipped off of each other and immediately curled into smiles as both boys
still held on to each other. "Thanks." Paul said, and Hayden answered "Any
time."

They finished washing up and walked back into the bathroom. "Help yourself
to anything of mine you want to wear." Hayden offered to Paul. Paul walked
over to Hayden's suitcase and took a few things out of it. He grabbed a red
and beige chequered button-up shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He got
changed and as soon as he was done, saw that Hayden was changing just next
to him. He saw Hayden pull on a pair of jeans and then button up a plain
white casual shirt.  Hayden looked up and noticed Paul watching him. Hayden
had a confused look on face, and then asked "What?" Paul answered "It's
just that I don't know what I like more. Watching you take your clothes
off, or watching you put your clothes on." Hayden laughed and answered "I'm
sure you like them both, but I bet you like what comes after I take my
clothes off better." Paul laughed in return and agreed. They finished
getting dressed and made their way out of the hotel and back to Paul's
apartment.

They got back to Paul's apartment and Paul opened the door letting Hayden
in. Paul took one of the bags from Hayden's hand and took it right into the
bedroom. Hayden followed Paul in as Paul started clearing some space in the
dresser and closet for Hayden's things. Hayden started unpacking as Paul
fell onto the bed and lay down, just watching Hayden. They started talking
about what they would do the next few days. "Does it really matter what we
do?" Hayden asked.  Paul smiled and answered "Not at all." Hayden finished
unpacking and headed to the bed to lay next to Paul. Paul scooted over to
make room for Hayden. Paul had one hand tucked behind his head, and the
other extended. Hayden lay down next to Paul, using his arm as a
pillow. Paul turned to Hayden and said "I'm really going to enjoy having
you here." Hayden smiled and curled up closer to Paul in response. The rest
of the day was not much more eventful than that morning. They stayed in
alone together at Paul's place, both completely content with each other's
company. That night, after dinner they got changed and headed to bed
early. The next morning was much different than the others they had
together. Instead of waking up once they were well rested, they were jolted
awake by the sound of the alarm clock. Paul grunted as he heard the
unforgiving sound as he reached over and smacked the alarm off. He rolled
back into bed and up against Hayden. "Time to get up." Paul grumbled
groggily to Hayden. Hayden, in response just moaned and said "Yeah. Just a
few more minutes." Paul put his arm around Hayden and they both fell asleep
again. A little while later Paul fluttered his eyes open and saw the time
on the clock. "Oh shit. We're late. C'mon, get up Hayden." Hayden looked
over and saw the time and jumped out of bed, following Paul. They both got
ready as quickly as possible.  Hayden ran into the kitchen and started the
coffee maker before getting dressed. Once they were both dressed and ready
they went into the kitchen. Paul grabbed two travel mugs and tossed them to
Hayden. Hayden poured the coffee as Paul grabbed a couple of granola bars
from the cupboard.

Just as they were running out the door, Paul stopped in his tracks and ran
back in for a second.  "Whatever it is, forget it. We're gonna be late
Paul." Paul didn't even hear Hayden as he ran into the study and grabbed
some keys from the desk drawer. He got back to the door and handed them to
Hayden. "What are these?" he asked. Paul answered "They're keys to the
apartment. Just in case you get back before me." The gesture had a lot of
meaning, but neither one of them really had the time to appreciate
fully. But just before Paul let go of the keys, Hayden held on to them, and
their hands met. Hayden slid his fingers between Paul's and he leaned in
and kissed him gently on the lips. As they split, Hayden said "Thanks."
Paul smiled and answered "No prob."  For those few seconds Hayden and Paul
were able to escape the rush they had been in that morning and focus solely
on each other. Unfortunately, that didn't last and they raced out the door
and to the car. Paul dropped Hayden off at a hotel in the city where he was
supposed to be interviewed by a few magazines. He pulled up to the side so
Hayden could sneak in. Hayden paused before he got out of the car. "So I'll
see you tonight?" Paul asked. "Yeah, give me a call when you have a break."
Hayden answered. Just as Hayden opened the door and put a leg out, Paul
said "Oh, and sorry about the crappy breakfast. I'll make it up to you."
Hayden smiled and leaned in for one last kiss and said goodbye to
Paul. Hayden walked into the interview room and the folks from the first
magazine were already there, waiting for him. Once Hayden's interview was
well underway, Paul pulled into the lot at the filming studio. The day went
by slowly for both of them. Hayden continuously checked his watch during
the interview, and Paul did the same between takes.

That evening, Paul came home to find that Hayden was already there. Once he
walked in he saw that Hayden sitting at the kitchen table talking on the
phone. Paul dropped his keys on the table by the front door and walked over
to Hayden. Hayden moved the phone away from his mouth to make room for
Paul, who was leaning in for a kiss. Shortly after, Hayden hung up and this
time he moved in on Paul's lips. Once they broke their kiss, they sat back
down in their seats and Paul asked "So how was your day?" Hayden answered
"Incredibly long." Paul laughed and added "Yeah, mine too." Paul then asked
"So who was that?" Hayden told him that it was his agent, and that he
called to get his schedule. "So what's the word?" Paul asked. Hayden
reluctantly answered "My flight for Chicago leaves Thursday night?" Paul
was silent for a second, and then he asked "This Thursday, as in three days
from now?" Hayden looked down, feeling almost guilty.

The next few days flew by for Hayden and Paul. They had a good arrangement
for the rest of that week; they would both go off to work in the morning,
and come home and spend the evening together. They made the most of the
free time they had, and they enjoyed being able to spend every night in bed
close to each other. But most importantly, they had the chance to really
get to know one another. Sooner than either had hoped, Thursday
arrived. Since Hayden's first interview in Chicago wasn't until Friday
afternoon, he managed to convince his agent to let him take a flight early
Friday morning, giving him and Paul another night to spend with each other.
Hayden had only one interview early Thursday morning, and Paul decided to
call in sick for the day. Once the interview was over, Paul picked Hayden
up and they both went back to the apartment. After a late breakfast, they
found their places on the couch, in each other's arms. "Do you maybe want
to go out for a bit? I mean it's such a nice day out." Hayden asked Paul as
they lay together. Paul thought it was a good idea and asked Hayden where
they should go. Hayden answered "Well, in all the time I have spent here, I
haven't really seen much of the famed New York City sights. Maybe you could
be my tour guide." Paul sat up a bit and smiled as he said "Sounds
perfect." They both got up off the couch and got ready to go. They grabbed
their hats and their sunglasses to keep from being recognized and made
their way out the door. They went down to the garage and drove out into the
city.

"So where would you like to go first?" Paul asked Hayden as he
drove. Hayden shrugged his shoulders a bit and asked "Well, what is good to
see?" After thinking about it for a second, Paul figured out a good place
to start and drove on. Hayden noticed that Paul was driving towards the
water, and then he finally pulled into a parking lot next to a boat
dock. They got out of the car and joined the people waiting to board the
boat. "So are you going to tell me where we are going, or am I just
supposed to trust you blindly?" Hayden asked jokingly. Paul smiled as he
leaned in closer to Hayden; he discreetly put one hand on Hayden's stomach
to steady himself, as whispered into Hayden's ear "I haven't steered you
wrong yet have I?" Hayden laughed lightly giving consent. Just as Paul
pulled away from Hayden, he heard the boat captain call "All Aboard."
Hayden and Paul got on the boat with all the others, still managing to keep
their identities concealed. "Do you want to sit inside for the ride, or
stand on the deck?" Paul asked Hayden. "Why don't we stand on the deck, get
a view of the city?" Hayden suggested. Hayden and Paul then found a spot on
the deck as they leaned on the banister. They watched as the boat pulled
away from the dock and as more of the city skyline came into view. "You
know, this is my favourite part of a city" Hayden mentioned. Not completely
clear on what Hayden meant, Paul asked "What is?" Hayden smiled realizing
his vagueness and answered "The skyline. No matter how much is going on in
a city, when you look at the skyline, it looks peaceful. It's kinda
comforting." Paul didn't answer Hayden, instead he leaned in a little
closer to let him know that he heard him. The ride was short, and soon
Hayden heard the captain's voice again, this time over the speaker. "Ladies
and Gentlemen, we are now approaching Liberty Island, our destination for
the day, you can catch a boat back to the dock every thirty minutes. Thank
you."  Hayden turned to look at Paul, who was smiling. He asked "Statue of
Liberty?" Paul nodded as Hayden added "Good choice."

They made their way off the boat with everyone else and headed to the
entrance of the statue.  They were lucky it was the middle of the week; it
wasn't nearly as busy as it is over the weekend. The wait was short and
they made it up to the top in little time. The view was guaranteed not to
disappoint. Hayden and Paul walked up to the edge and relished the view of
the city. Hayden looked over and saw Paul staring attentively at the
skyline. Paul heard Hayden sigh and turned his head to see him looking at
him. Paul smiled in response to seeing Hayden smiling as he said "Beautiful
view isn't it?" Paul turned back to look over the city as Hayden kept his
eyes on Paul. For Hayden the most beautiful view was that of Paul, as he
was savouring that view he answered "Yeah, it really is." Paul turned his
head to look at Hayden again; he saw that Hayden was still looking at him,
and he realized the compliment Hayden had just paid him.  Paul moved closer
to Hayden and whispered in his ear again "I wish I could kiss you right
now."  Hayden smiled as he heard Paul whisper in his ear. "Me too Paul, me
too" Hayden answered as Paul slowly pulled away. Hayden sat up on the
railing like a kid and Paul stood next to him. Paul smiled at Hayden's
childishness as he looked up and caught Hayden in a priceless smile.

The two boys stood there with smiles on their faces, the New York skyline
behind them, completely in their own world when they heard a woman's voice
ask "Could I take your picture?" The voice brought them back to reality,
and the first thought that came to both their minds was that their cover
was blown, despite their disguises, they were recognized. The woman's voice
brought them back to reality a second time, this time she said "C'mon guys,
it will make a nice keepsake." It was then that they noticed that the woman
was wearing a uniform, the same as all the other staff at the Statue, and
she was actually from the photo booth taking professional pictures of the
tourists to sell to them. Hayden and Paul looked at each other for a
second, trying to decide whether to have their pictures taken or
not. Hayden was the first to speak up, he shrugged his shoulders as he said
"Yeah, why not." Paul agreed and the woman answered in an almost motherly
tone, "Great. I'll just get you two to move in closer, so you're both in
the shot." The guys did as she asked; just as she was about to take the
picture, she lowered the camera and said to Paul "Why don't you sit on the
railing next to him, that will make a good picture." Paul complied and sat
up on the railing next to Hayden and she lifted the camera up to her face
again. Just as she was about to take the picture, she lowered the camera a
second time and said "I can't see your faces boys, why don't you take of
your hats and sunglasses."  Hayden and Paul looked at each other, both a
little apprehensive about doing away with their disguises. Without
exchanging words they decided it would be okay for the second it took to
take the picture. The woman lifted the camera again, and this time it
seemed like she was finally going to take the picture. She was making some
small talk with Hayden and Paul as she focussed the lens. She said "You two
remind me of my sons, they are always wearing their ball caps wherever they
go. Although they don't get along nearly as well as you two seem to." That
comment made Hayden and Paul look at each other for a split second as their
smiles grew even wider. "She thinks we're brothers" they both though at the
same time. They turned away from each other and back to the camera just in
time for the shutter to open and close. The shot was perfect; they were
both looking at the camera with the most beautiful and sincere smiles,
sitting next to each other with the New York skyline behind them. "Great,
here you are, this is your pick up slip, just take it to the photo booth
for your picture." the woman instructed as she handed a small slip of paper
to Paul. They both thanked her and she moved on as Hayden and Paul both put
their hats and sunglasses back on. They walked towards the photo booth,
still laughing lightly about how the lady thought they were brothers.

They waited in a short line at the photo booth and finally got to the
counter. Paul handed the slip to the young woman at the desk and she left
to get the picture. When she came back she slid the picture into a small
cardboard frame as she glanced at the picture. "This is a great picture"
she commented as she handed it to Paul. Both boys smiled in response and
Hayden leaned in and asked "Would it be possible to get another copy of the
picture?" The girl answered "Sure. I'll go print off another one now" and
walked to the back. Paul looked at Hayden inquisitively and Hayden
explained "This way we can each keep one." Paul smiled in response and told
him it was a good idea. The girl came back and handed the other picture to
Hayden. They both went to pull out their wallets to pay and Paul grabbed
Hayden's hand to stop him and he said "Let me get this." Hayden gave in and
Paul paid the girl. They both thanked her and made their way down and out
of the statue. They took the short boat ride back to the dock and got in
their car. Just as they got in and closed the door Hayden turned to Paul
and brought his hand behind Paul's head and pulled him into a kiss. Paul
didn't resist, rather, he returned the affection. As their lips split apart
Hayden brought his hand down and Paul asked "What was that for?" Hayden
smiled and answered "Just 'cause I couldn't do it before." Paul laughed
lightly at Hayden and then started the car and drove on to the road.

They were able to get a lot done that day. They went to the Empire State
Building, to Yankee Stadium and to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They
walked down Broadway and grabbed a hot dog for lunch at Times Square. After
all that, they finally ended up at Central Park sitting on a bench next to
each other. Hayden was holding a bag of cotton candy he bought from a
vendor and they were both snacking on it. They sat there, both of the
really quiet. It was a long day and they were both tired, but not too tired
to talk; there was something else on their minds. Hayden knew what Paul was
thinking and he said "It won't be permanent, as soon as all my publicity is
over I'll be back and I wont have anything to do but spend every waking
hour with you." Paul just smiled at Hayden's words and moved closer to
him. It was obvious that Hayden was trying to comfort Paul a bit, but the
truth was that he was just as upset about having to go. They sat right up
on one another and Hayden leaned his head on Paul's shoulder. Even though
the park was packed with people, Hayden and Paul had some privacy because
no one really paid any attention to them, so they took advantage of it and
sat close together for a while longer. Paul eventually sat up a bit causing
Hayden to lift his head from his shoulder. He cleared his throat and broke
the sombre tone by saying to Hayden "Alright, let's go. There is one last
place I have to take you." Paul stood up and reached his hand out to pull
Hayden up. He pulled Hayden up and said "Trust me. It'll be worth it."
Hayden complied and got up and walked with Paul back to his car.

Paul drove to Chinatown and it was evident that he knew where we was
going. "So where are we going?" Hayden asked and Paul answered smiling
"You'll just have to wait and see." Hayden just laughed lightly and leaned
his head back and let Paul drive. Paul parked in front of a restaurant
called The Three Dragons and led Hayden in. Once they got in they saw the
lobby was packed with people waiting for a seat. Hayden looked around him
and noticed that the restaurant was really nice. He commented to Paul and
said "This looks like a really nice place Paul." Paul smiled and answered
"Yeah this place is one of a kind, and the food is great too. Definitely a
New York Institution." Just as Paul started to tell Hayden about the
restaurant they heard a loud voice from in front of the crowd of people
"Paul Walker, little Paul Walker is that you?" Then an older woman walked
up to them and hugged Paul. "Hayden, this is Mrs. Lee; this is her place.
Mrs. Lee, this is my friend Hayden." Paul introduced them. Hayden shook
Mrs. Lee's hand and she said "Always good to meet one of little Paul's
friends." She let go of Hayden's hand and asked "So can I get you guys a
table?" Paul told her that would be great and she walked them both right
through the crowd and into the dinning room. As she led the way and Hayden
looked curiously at Paul and whispered "Little Paul? I take it this has
nothing to do with your celebrity does it?" Paul smiled and nodded 'No' as
Mrs. Lee showed them to a private booth, which seemed to be the best table
in the place. "Here you are." Mrs. Lee said as Paul and Hayden sat
down. She handed them menus as she asked Paul "Your parents are good?" Paul
answered that they were and she then asked about his brothers and
sister. Paul answered that they were all good too and she left them to look
over their menus.

As soon as Mrs. Lee left, Hayden looked at Paul for some explanation as to
what just happened.  He smiled and answered "Let's figure out what we want
to eat first, and then I'll explain."  Hayden agreed reluctantly and
started to look over their menus. Mrs. Lee came back personally to take
their orders. She made sure that their food was made ahead of everyone
else's and brought it to the table quickly. Hayden and Paul thanked her and
she left them to eat. Hayden was really enjoying the restaurant, the
service was obviously excellent and Paul hadn't lied about the food. They
finished their meals and reclined a bit in their seats as they sipped the
last of their tea. Hayden then asked "So do you want to tell me what kind
of arrangement you have going on here now?" Paul smiled and scooted over on
the bench, closer to Hayden. Paul told Hayden how that place was part of
the Walker family history. He said "This is the place where my mom and dad
had their first date. My mom would come here whenever she was in the city
and then my dad brought my mom back here when he proposed. Eventually when
me and my brothers and sister were born she would bring us here too. We
made sure to come here every time we were in New York and Mrs. Lee has seen
all of us grow up." Hayden smiled at the story as Paul continued "So this
place is a part of me, and I know it sounds dumb, but you mean a lot to me
and I wanted to share this with you." Hayden could not help but smile
widely hearing Paul tell him how he felt about him. He leaned in a little
closer and said lightly "Thanks for bringing me here Paul, and letting me
be part of this." They locked gazes for a quick second when they heard
someone walking towards their table. Just before Mrs. Lee turned the
corner, they quickly moved apart.  She grabbed the plates and while she was
gone Paul said to Hayden "I'll tell you what Hayden.  We argue about this
all the time, so if you really want to pay, I'll let you pay this time."
Hayden smiled thinking that he'd beat Paul. When Mrs. Lee came back, Hayden
reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. She responded
quickly saying "Oh no no. The Walkers do not pay in this restaurant, and
you're a good friend of Paul's, so you don't pay either." Hayden insisted
he be allowed to pay, but she stubbornly pressed on. All the while Paul was
trying hard not to laugh, and Hayden looked over and noticed a smirk on
Paul's face and he knew right away that Paul set him up. After a short and
pointless argument, Hayden gave in and put away his wallet. He and Paul
both gave their thanks to Mrs. Lee and finally made their way home.

When they got home, Paul opened the door and let them both in. Paul threw
his keys on the table next to the door and followed Hayden into the living
room. Both boys fell onto the couch from the exhaustion of being on their
feet the whole afternoon. "Man, I am so tired " Paul said as he leaned up
against Hayden on the couch. Hayden agreed and said "Yeah, me too. I just
want to go to bed." They got up and walked into the bedroom and started
getting undressed. Just as they had changed into their shorts, they heard a
phone ringing in the living room. Hayden realized it was his cell phone and
he said "Shit. I forgot my phone this morning, my agent said he'd call with
the flight information." Hayden ran out into the living room and picked up
the phone. Sure enough, it was his agent. Paul leisurely walked into the
living room and found Hayden on the phone with an annoyed look on his
face. After he got all the information and had been chewed out a bit by his
agent, Hayden hung up the phone. Paul walked up to Hayden and grabbed his
hand and led him back into the bedroom and said "Let's go to bed." Hayden
answered "There is nothing I would rather do." and followed Paul's
lead. They both climbed into bed and nestled up close to each other under
the covers when Hayden said "I had a great time today Paul, thanks a lot."
Paul smiled in response and leaned in and kissed Hayden and said "No prob."
Hayden wished Paul a goodnight and reached over and shut off the light.

The city had cooled down overnight, and left the apartment cold in the
early morning. It was only starting to lighten up outside as Paul shivered
in his bed as he felt a draft from the open window. Almost instinctively,
still half asleep he went to curl up next to Hayden for some body heat. He
opened his eyes when he reached over and couldn't feel Hayden, and he
realized that Hayden was not in bed with him. He sat up in bed and looked
around, still in the same sleepy state, and there was no sign of him. Paul
threw the covers off of him and shivered again at the cold. He crossed his
arms and rubbed his hands on the opposite arm to warm up a bit. He stood up
and walked towards the bedroom door, but on the way noticed that all of
Hayden's things that had been strewn about his room were now missing. "He
couldn't have already left." Paul thought to himself. Paul opened the
bedroom door and walked out and saw Hayden in the kitchen making a cup of
coffee with the phone up to his ear. Hayden was showered, dressed and ready
to go; he was wearing a pair of charcoal grey slacks, a white shirt and a
black leather jacket. Paul also noticed Hayden's bags packed and sitting by
the door. Once Hayden turned around and saw Paul he smiled happily. Paul
smiled as best he could, still quite groggy. Paul, still only in his shorts
walked up to Hayden and wrapped his naked arms around his waist from
behind. Hayden turned his head and opened his lips and quickly kissed
Paul. Hayden split their kiss apart quickly and returned his attention to
the person on the other end of the phone. Paul heard Hayden say "Yeah, and
could you please send that cab over in about forty minutes, and I'll be
going to the airport."  Realizing that Hayden was calling a cab he grabbed
the phone from Hayden's hand and said to the person "Actually there has
been a mistake, we have a ride, so there is no need to send that cab. Thank
you." and then he hung up the phone.

Hayden turned around and now was standing face to face with Paul. He leaned
in and kissed Paul's bare shoulder as he wrapped his arms around Paul and
then brought his hands and rubbed Paul's upper arms as he had done to
himself earlier. "You must be freezing." Hayden said as he lovingly warmed
Paul up. Hayden let go of Paul and walked towards the door and unzipped one
of his suitcases; he pulled out a red sweatshirt that said 'Canada' across
the front and tossed it to Paul and said "As much as I love to see you with
your shirt off, I won't be able to kiss you if you catch a cold, so put
this on." Paul laughed lightly as he threw the sweater on and sat at the
kitchen table. Hayden poured two cups of coffee as he said "You don't' have
to drive me Paul.  You have to get to the set, so I can take a cab." Hayden
sat down next to Paul and handed him a cup of coffee. Paul answered "Are
you kidding, of course I am gonna drive you to the airport. I can always be
late to the set, it's not like they can start without me." Hayden smiled
and agreed.  Paul took a sip of his coffee and swallowed, then he said,
half jokingly "So, were you just gonna leave without saying goodbye?"
Hayden, concerned by the worry in Paul's tone answered "Of course not. You
were really tired, and you looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you up
until I had to." Hayden reassured him "But I would never have left without
saying goodbye, I care too much about you to do that." Paul smiled at that
comment and took the last sip of his coffee.

Paul stood up and said "Okay, well let me just get ready and then we can
go." Paul walked into the bedroom and took off Hayden's sweater and tossed
it on the bed and then walked into the bathroom, and Hayden followed him,
with his coffee still in hand. Hayden propped himself onto the counter as
Paul started to wash up. "So do you have a full days worth of filming
today?"  Hayden asked. Paul answered that they were behind in filming, so
they had to do more and more until they were caught up. Hayden just watched
as Paul brushed his teeth and shaved and finished getting ready. "Are you
just gonna sit there and watch me?" Paul asked playfully.  Hayden answered
"I can't think of anything I would rather be watching." Paul finished in
the bathroom and walked back into the bedroom, and Hayden followed him back
in. Paul changed into a pair of jeans and threw on Hayden's sweater
again. As he pulled it over his head he could smell Hayden's cologne still
on it from the last time he wore it. He inhaled the scent deeply and he
said "This is a nice sweater, you know you are not getting this back
right?" Hayden laughed and answered "You can keep it as long as you want."
They walked back into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table as Paul
pulled out a bowl and filled it with cereal and milk. Hayden just kept
watching Paul, now as he ate. "I wish I could just watch you all day long."
Hayden said and Paul looked up from his food. Paul finished eating and put
his dishes in the sink and walked towards the door when Hayden called back
to him from the couch. Paul walked over and sat next to Hayden and asked
"What's the matter?" Hayden answered "Nothing's the matter, I just want to
sit with you for a second before we go." Paul smiled at Hayden's gesture
and leaned up against Hayden. Hayden lifted an arm and brought it around
Paul as they sat there for a few minutes in silence. "Hayden." Paul
said. Hayden answered "Yeah." and Paul continued "We should get going if
you want to catch your flight." Hayden agreed and they both got up and
headed out the door.

They made their way to the garage and loaded all of Hayden's bags into the
trunk and drove off towards the airport. They were both rather quiet in the
car, both knowing that Hayden was about to leave, and both too upset to
really say anything. Once they got to the airport Paul pulled up to the
entrance and shifted his car into park. "Just drop me off here, you don't
have to come in."  Hayden told Paul. Paul asked "Are you sure?" Hayden
nodded as he laid his hand on top of Paul's, which was on the gearshift.
Hayden rubbed the back of Paul's hand gently with his fingers as he looked
up at Paul. Hayden's eyes were glazed over, and when they met Paul's he
noticed that his were as well. The car was silent, neither one really knew
what to say. Hayden spoke first and said "My evenings will be free, so I'll
call you from where ever I am." Paul nodded in consent and smiled as he
answered "Yeah, and it's only for a few of weeks. No sweat, you'll be back
in no time." Hayden smiled in response and agreed as he said "Yeah, no time
at all." Paul spread his fingers a bit and let Hayden's fall between his,
interlocking their fingers together. Hayden looked at Paul and spoke again
"I should really get going if I want to catch my flight." Paul agreed and
lifted his hand from under Hayden's and pulled him into a hug. "So we'll
talk this evening then." Paul said to Hayden while they had their arms
around each other.  They pulled apart from the hug, and their locked their
eyes. They moved their lips closer together and made contact. They slowly
opened their mouths in the kiss and Hayden slid his tongue into Paul's
mouth. As he did Paul brought his hands up to Hayden's neck and lovingly
held him in place as they kissed. Hayden brought his tongue out of Paul's
mouth, and at that moment, Paul darted his tongue into Hayden's mouth and
prolonged the kiss. Hayden moaned at the feeling as best he could while
still tongue tied with Paul. They relished that last moment before Paul
brought his hands down and they finally split apart. Hayden then got out of
the car and grabbed his bags and walked around to the driver's side of the
car and pulled open the door. He leaned in and pecked Paul on the lips one
last time and said "So I'll talk to you later." Hayden walked towards the
entrance and just before he went in to the airport, he turned and waved to
Paul who watched from his car.
