I died in your arms, why won't you set me free?

Tom pushed him away with some difficulty, but, try as he might, he couldn't get the older man off his hips.

Michael took that as invitation to pin Tom to the ground so he couldn't move at all. "Everyone's got problems. I don't think Gabe or William could be a better father to Marlee than you are. You can't control everything."

Tom snarled at him, still unsure of what to say. He struggled weakly, not entirely sure that he wanted to get away from Michael. Not that he could. The Australian's upper body strength far surpassed his own.

"Why do you want to leave me?" Michael lowered his face so the tip of his nose was milimeters from Tom's.

"You can quit the nice guy act." Tom replied calmly, doing his best to focus on Michael's face. "Like you care."

Michael's eyes darkened a little and he promptly got off of Tom. "What do you want from me? Love isn't enough?"

"Give it a rest!" Tom hugged his knees. "You don't "love" me. No one does."

Michael shot forward and slapped Tom. "Get over yourself," he started breathing shakily and clenched his fists as tightly as possible to try to hide their shakiness.

Tom hissed in pain as Michael's hand connected with the bruise he'd already received from the German Tom. He knew one thing - Michael hit even harder than the teenager. He placed his hand over his stinging cheek, staring at the floor next to his feet. He didn't dare look up at Michael.

Michael pushed Tom back over and resumed his position pinning him to the ground, "Say something," he ordered in an emotionless voice.

"I need to change." Tom replied, his voice just as emotionless as the other's.

"Will you let me help you?" Michael stared into Tom's eyes.

Tom opened his mouth to reply in the negative, but something in Michael's eyes changed his mind. He nodded shyly, cheeks burning lightly.

"Good," Michael leaned down to press his lips against Tom's.

Tom snaked his arm around Michael's waist briefly, before pushing him off. It wasn't as hard as it had been before.

Michael sat looking down at Tom for a moment before glancing in Marlee's direction. He'll do what he wants to. I can't make him say.

Tom rummaged through his suitcase. "Do you want something?" He asked, looking up after he'd pulled a t-shirt and jeans out.

"I'm fi-" Michael realized he was soaking wet. "Yes please."

Tom chuckled quietly, rummaging through again. "I'm not promising the shirt will fit." He warned his lover. "You're a bit more toned than I am."

"I'm sure it will be fine," Michael took off his own shirt and rang it out a little, looking up for a branch to hang it from to dry.

Tom threw fresh clothes at Michael. "No peeking." He ordered Marlee, turning the baby to face the rock.

"Thanks," Michael flashed a smile in Tom's drection before removing his pants and wringing them out as well. He reached out and grabbed the dry clothes to put on.

Tom casually stripped off, wringing out his soaking trousers and boxers. "William ruined my top." He remembered, throwing his clothes onto a tree.

Michael quickly leaned over to place a kiss on Tom's bare lower back before putting on the shirt that was thrown at him.

Tom shivered at the touch before slipping on a pair of black boxers. He rubbed his face, fingers brushing against what was turning itself into a beard.
