Chester couldn't sleep all night. He could feel the heat of Mike's half-naked body beside him.

The soft flesh brushed across him with every turn of the younger man. The strong scent of musk and soap filling his senses along with the occasional light moan which escaped Mike's lip, sending sparks of arousal through his body.

Chester shut his eyes tightly and spent most of the night with his back to Mike, trying to occupy his mind with thoughts that didn't include him being tied to the bed by pink handcuffs with Mike striped naked, pounding into him making him bleed and scream in pleasure.

"Fuck!" Chester whispered, cursing himself as slowly, for the third time tonight he silently slipped out of Mike's room and headed for the restroom where he could take care of his ridiculously persistent problem.

Mike woke in the morning, shocked to feel his bed empty of a particular being. His first thought was that Judy wasn't curled up on his mattress, breathing kibble smelling breath on his face but his heart fell as soon as he recalled the feeling of soft, once warm fur matted with blood. Still that sad realization caused his heart to lift when he recalled Chester staying the night, Chester sleeping in his bed. How had he fallen asleep with the object of his secret desire laying beside him. Had he really been that tired? Thing was being with Chester had given him a level of comfort he had never experienced with anyone before. Laying beside him felt almost second nature.

But he wasn't there now. Why wasn't he there? Had Mike done something wrong?

'Shit! I bet you had one of those dreams!' He thought angrily to himself. 'One of your fucking sex dreams and you probably moaned out his name! Fucking idiot!!'

Still Mike was never one to accept things so easily and instead slowly got out of his bed and made his way out to the hall. His fantastic sense of hearing was what first picked up the sign of life other than him in his apartment. The water running freely in his bathroom. He walked silently towards the room. Terror set in when he heard a moan.

"Chester?" He called out, fearing the youth was sick. "Chester are you ok?"

Chester's head shot up and his heart thud as Mike's angelic voice rang in his ears. He withdrew his hand from his underwear and swore quietly to himself.

'Fucking...you fucking...fuckhead!'

"I-I'm ok." Chester stated suddenly, splashing cold running water on his face and biting his lip.

"You sick or something?" Chester looked behind, afraid Mike would come in and sense something was wrong. He was much smarter than others gave him credit for.

"Y-yeah!" Chester stated, unsure of himself as he looked left to right, biting his lip. "I...I drank a lot...the night before last...much be only catching up on me..." Chester cringed, what a pathetic excuse. Still Mike seemed to believe him as he replied.

"Ok...just making sure..."

Mike decided to give Chester a moment to feel better and made his way to the kitchen where he searched for cereal. He found a box and on closer inspection found they were Lucky Charms. Smiling, he poured himself a bowl just as Chester walked into the room.

"Hey." Chester’s voice was weak and his cheeks were still red. He didn't have to force his smile, it was genuine. Mike looked nothing short of adorable as he stood shirtless and his hair messed. Chester just wanted to kiss him so much but resisted. Instead he stared at the cardboard box in Mike's hand.

"You want some cereal?" Chester's cheeks flushed as he looked to Mike.

"I never had Lucky charms before." Chester confessed as Mike laughed lightly.

"Ok I get that you mightn't have now that you're a model but...like when you were a kid?" Chester laughed as he leaned on the counter.

"I've practically been on a diet since I moved onto solids." Mike smiled at Chester. "Mom just...she always seemed so keen for me to turn out like this." There was no missing the distain in Chester's voice and Mike suddenly felt awkward. Still he held out a hand to his friend.

"Chester you ok?" Chester smiled as he slotted his hand in Mike's. Already he had become so accustomed to the feel of their hands interlocking, he practically craved that contact with his friend more than he did his next breath.

"Of course I'm ok." Chester muttered, smiling as he gazed at Mike's hand holding his. He wanted so much to hold it to his lips and simply kiss it but common sense told him no. Instead he chanced slightly caressing the flesh there with his thumb, something Mike didn't seem to notice. Still looks were deceiving and inside Mike's heart leapt at the soft contact but he dismissed it as a comforting act considering the male had hit his dog.

"Ok then..well I'm sure one bowl of cereal wont do any harm ok?" A small, almost incoherent whimper escaped Chester's lips as Mike pulled his hand away in order to get him a bowl. Still the model sat beside his friend and waited patiently for the sugary treat to be handed to him. "There you go." Mike's hand shook slightly as he handed out the bowl towards his friend. Chester smiled and took it from his friend as a small drop of milk spilt out. He didn't say anything about it but thanks Mike quietly.

Silence ensued as Chester devoured the rare treat with a grin on his face the entire time. Mike sat there smiling as he sensed the smile on Chester's lips. He was sure it was beautiful and made the older males face light up. Again he felt a pang of jealousy for everyone with the ability to see. He wanted nothing more than to see Chester, know what he looked like when he smiled and see the dimples on his cheeks when he laughed. It was something so simple that so many people took for granted and yet Mike wanted nothing more.

"So..." It was Chester who broke the silence after they both ate. "I...I guess I'd better be buying you that dog." Chester sighed. He didn't want to because Mike getting a new guide meant he wouldn't be needed in that manner and by now the youth was convinced he would give up his entire career just to care for Mike whether it meant he would be loved in return or not. He adored yesterday, being allowed to mind the youth was nothing short of a pleasure and he loved it.

"Oh." Mike lowered his head. The attention he had been receiving since Judy died from Chester was like a dream come true. If he was to get a dog then that would end and Chester would only be an occasional visitor in his life again. Still he couldn't let Chester know he felt that way. "Yea, I guess we'd better."

They cleared their stuff away, mainly Chester as he insisted Mike sit and just relax for five minutes. After cleaning Chester was given some clean clothes to wear. Mike's clothing was far, far too big and hung off his slender frame like elephant skin. A long short sleeved black top accompanied by dark, faded jeans which was hanging up by a thick, black belt. The belt was tied to the last notch and still slid down Chester's hips with ever few steps.

The purple Lamborghini was still parked in the center of the parking lot. Some people stared as the famous model Chester Bennington came out of Mike Shinoda's apartment, holding the youths hand in a supporting way. There were murmurs about the attire the famed male was wearing, far too large and yet it must be the latest fashion if Chester Bennington would be seen in it. Whispers spread as well as texts and cell phone photos as many, many people suddenly decided to buy more for their wardrobe based on the new fashion.

Chester noticed the whispers but said nothing as he helped Mike sit into the passenger seat of his car before he rushed around to the other side, leaping in.

There was a local school for dogs who were specifically trained to lead the blind and this was where Chester took his friend. He was amazed at the amount of professional dogs available for Mike to buy. Mike was even more surprised at the price but Chester didn't care. Money was no objection especially concerning Mike.

"This is Max." One of the trainers Katie stated as she brought the large German Shepard over to the two men. "He's one of our best dogs." Mike stretched out and rubbed the dogs head.

"Hello Max." He smiled but Katie glared.

"We would ask you refrain from that Mr. Shinoda." She stated coldly. "These are trained dogs, not pets." Chester glared at her and then at Max. The dog sat straight and glared straight ahead, not unlike a robot. Chester didn't like this one.

"Could we see another dog?" Chester commanded more than asked as Katie brought Max away. Mike sighed.

"Chester c'mon. That was the sixth dog." Chester shook his head.

"Not good enough for you man." Chester simply stated as Katie came over with a Husky.

"This is Dodge." She told them. "He's two years old, quite a good guide." Chester challenged Katie silently with his eyes so Mike couldn't sense his hostility towards the impatient woman. Katie returned his gaze, wondering what it was the male wanted to say.

"Can he touch this one?" Chester snarled, unhappy that the woman wouldn't let Mike even near any of his potential guides. There was a moment of silence and Mike could sense the uneasiness between this woman and his friend.

"Fine." Katie stated as Mike smiled and reached out to feel the beautifully soft fur of Dodge beneath his fingertips. He smiled to Chester as the dog nuzzled into his hand.

"I like him." The youth stated, taking the lead off Katie. Chester grinned broadly and took out his cheque book.

"Here." He stated, handing the woman the form of payment before taking Mike's free hand and leading him out of the training school back to his car. As soon as they got to the transport Mike knelt beside Dodge and ran his fingers through his beautiful fur.

"Who's a good boy?" He smiled. "Who's a great doggie?" Chester leaned against the car and gazed down at Mike rubbing his new guide. His heart gripped and he bit his lip. It was ridiculous how Chester felt when he looked at Mike. The male was just so beautiful and kind and treated Chester so normally. The model was falling hard and he knew it. If he continued to hang around Mike like this eventually he would no longer be able to control himself.

Still he would prefer to live out this time of friendship and eventually confess when it got too much. The only alternative would be to avoid Mike altogether and he couldn't live like that. Chester would prefer to be shot down rather than have Mike believe he didn't want to be around him.

"Chester?" Mike called out as things became so quiet he believed Chester might have left. "Are you there?"

"Always." Chester replied, resting a hand on Mike's shoulder and smiling as a stray tear formed in his eye. He bit his lip and smiled, wanting so to pull the younger man into him so much but he fought it.

"We should go." Mike sensed a change in Chester's personality but he couldn't tell what it was. He voiced his opinion and felt Chester's grip on his shoulder lessen.

"Ok then. Can I ask you a favor?" Mike nodded. "Would you mind finishing my sculpture?" Mike smiled, glad that now he had another dog Chester wasn't just going to rush away.

"Of course." He smiled, standing up and helping Chester coax Dodge into the back of the car. It took them almost an hour to get back to Mike's apartment complex where someone was waiting outside the house. Chester pulled up in a proper space this time to see Brad get out of his own, ageing rust bucket of a car.

"Mike." The youth called out running over as the half-Asian stepped out of the car. "I heard something was wrong yesterday." Mike was a little surprised to hear Brad's voice particularly with a hint of genuine concern in it. Brad was a great friend but it seemed like he saw Mike as a liability most of the time.

"How did you find that out?" Mike asked, reaching out a hand so that he felt Brad's shoulder. Brad cringed. What was he to say? That as well as his second latest conquests he had also been with Debbie, Mike's neighbor who saw how upset his friend had been yesterday? Brad shook his head.

"Just hearsay." He stated, shrugging as for the first time he realized who Mike was with. First he noticed the fact that the car Mike got out of was in fact a Lamborghini and secondly that Chester was now standing beside his friend with a husky in hand. "What's going on?" Brad asked, wondering what Chester was still doing around. Why was he still hanging with Mike?

"Judy got run over." Mike found no point in telling Brad that it was Chester's fault as he didn't even see it that way himself. "So this is Dodge." Brad just nodded slowly and watched as Chester handed the leash to Mike. There was an obvious smile on Mike's face as his and Chester's fingers brushed against one another’s.

"Oh...well thanks Chester." Brad took Mike's hand and attempted to lead him to his door. "I'll take it from here."

"No." Mike's word was quiet as he removed his hand from Brad's and stood while Dodge sniffed his surroundings, familiarizing himself. "Err...Chester's staying." Brad looked to Chester who smiled and shrugged. "I'm working on his sculpture." Brad's eyebrow raised.

"A sculpture?" Chester nodded and placed a hand on Mike's shoulder.

"Absolutely! Mike's got great talent!" He smiled, hugging his friend. "I'm honored he's doing this for me." Brad looked as Mike blushed and lowered his head. There was an uneasiness in Brad's stomach but as he looked at the obvious friendship they shared and it dawned on him. He was jealous. He was jealous of Mike and the fact that it was him Chester wanted to be friends with.

"Oh...do you mind if I stick around?" Chester looked to Mike, silently preying that the youth would say no but Mike smiled. It was forced but he still smiled, not wanting to offend his friend.

"Sure man, I guess that's ok." The three of them walked to Mike's apartment while Dodge wandered along on his extendable leash, sniffing everywhere, getting used to his new home.

Ten minutes later and Brad was sitting on a plastic chair at the edge of the studio watching Mike work on Chester's piece. A pang of resentment rest in his being but he didn't say anything, simply watched as Mike's hands lightly caressed Chester's face.

It took time but soon Brad realized what was so different between Mike working on this piece and when he worked on Brads. The way Chester's eyes would flutter shut when Mike's hand rest on his cheek. The sighs of relief that escaped the models lips at each contact. The look on Mike's face, small smile and cheeks tinged pink. Brad was nothing short of shocked when he realized that something other that friendship was growing between the two whether they knew it or not.

Chester Bennington. He never would have guessed.

"Finished." Mike smiled as he rubbed Chester's cheek lightly one last time and pulled away. Chester opened his eyes and stood, looking to the clay piece.

"W-wow!" He stuttered as the incredible likeness of himself stared back. "Oh my god Mike this is amazing!" He threw his arms around Mike, pulling him close in a strong hug. "Thank you so much man!"

Brad leaned back in his seat and watched Mike's face burn.

"N-no problem!" He stated, pulling back and smiling slightly. His cheeks were hot and he was sure he was blushing. Chester was grinning broadly as he looked behind to Brad.

"Brad look at this! Isn't it amazing?!" Brad simply smiled and nodded slowly without need for words as Chester turned back to Mike. "Mike how much?" He asked, fiddling in his pocket for his cheque book but Mike rested a hand on Chester's arm.

"No Chester...please...I really enjoyed this. Don't taint it with money." Chester paused, gaped for a moment but sighed in defeat.

"I'll repay you somehow." He promised, winking. Inside he could think of one or two ways he'd like to repay the beautiful artist. Mike shrugged without words and Chester's cell rang. He cursed it. "Hello?"

"Chester it's Rob." Chester sighed.

"What's u..."

"Where are you?" Rob called. "We're all here, you're supposed to be weighed! Your sponsors are worried you're gaining too much weight!" Chester paused, frowning deeply.

"Rob tell them I'm sorry but I wont be there." Mike looked in his direction.

"What? C'mon man your career depends on things like this."

"I know but I'm busy." There was silence.

"Mike...you're with Mike aren't you?" Brad looked as Chester smiled at his friend who was now petting Dodge.

"Yea. Yeah I am and I think that's more important than you guys scrutinizing my weight."

"Chester listen to me and I want you to answer me truthfully. Are you after Mike?" Chester paused for a moment, heart gripping with love as Mike kissed Dodge's head.

"Yeah. I guess that's one way to put it but not in so harsh a terms." He confessed, happy that Mike was unaware what he was saying.

"Fuck...listen man be careful. I get that if I say no you'll probably want him even more..."

"I don't think that's possible." Chester didn't believe he could want Mike anymore than he did right now.

"Fine. Whatever man. Do whatever the fuck you want. You usually do!" And with that Rob hung up in a huff. The youth sighed and ran his fingers through his lengthening brown hair. He was dreading having to leave the sanctuary of the bathroom to tell the sponsors Chester wasn't coming. Still something inside him loosened. He sighed happily. At least he didn't have to fear being replaced as Chester's best friend, the youth was interested in Mike on a much more intimate level but that was ok. Maybe if they got together Chester's strange mood swings would stop. Shrugging, Rob splashed cold water on his face and walked out of the restroom, wondering what to tell the sponsors about his clients disappearance.

Chester sighed and put the cell in his pocket. He could see Mike gazing towards him, eyebrow raised.

"It's nothing." He assured his friend only to feel a vibration in his pocket again. He swore and sighed loudly, pulling his cell out. "What?" He called in an aggressive manner.

"Have I caught you at a bad time?" A thankfully friendly voice asked gently on the line. Chester sighed feeling guilty at snapping.

"Sorry Mr. Hahn." He sighed, rubbing his brow.

"Please Chester it's Joe. Mr. Hahn is reserved for the ladies." Chester laughed lightly and smiled to himself.

"Ok Joe...err...sorry about that blow up."

"Don't worry about it Chester. Err, I tried to call a minute ago. Were you on the cell?" Chester nodded.

"Yeah. Just a little...never mind. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Actually yes. I know it's short notice but it turns out the hospital we wish to film in said we could do so tomorrow. I understand if it doesn't suit.."

"No it's ok." Chester nodded. "I'll be there. What time?"

"Six am." Joe stated. "There's quite a bit of hard to film footage in the hospital so we'd like to start early if that's ok."

"No it's fine. I'll be there." Chester sighed loudly, he had been wrecking his head all evening to find a way to spend more time with Mike and now his job was getting in the way.

"I don't know if this would suit or not but what would you think of bringing Michael along?" Joe asked out of the blue. Chester's eyes widened and he looked to Mike, a small smile hidden on the corner of his lips.

"I'll ask." He smiled and held a hand up to cover the speaker on his phone, looking to Mike. "Guess who wants to meet you again?" Mike's eyes widened as he recalled who Chester was talking to.

"Joe Hahn?" He asked stunned. "Are you fucking serious?" Chester smiled.

"Can I take that as a yes?"

"Yeah!" Mike couldn't help smiling as his cheeks flushed madly. "O-of course!"

"He says sure." Chester smiled into the receiver.

"Brilliant. I'll see you at six." And he hung up.

Brad sat from his position in the room. He looked away from Mike hugging Chester and them both laughing. Had they forgotten he was in the room? Another pang of jealousy wrecked his gut. He didn't even know who Joe Hahn was but he would like to be invited. Still hearing them laughing made him realize he was not a part of this group.

"I have to go." He stated suddenly, standing up and grabbing his jacket. He was disappointed when all he got was a weak bye in return. Pissed off, Brad stormed out of the house, regretting the fact that he came over because he was worried about Mike.

Neither Mike or Chester noticed Brad attitude and as Dodge wandered away to explore the house again.

"Thanks Chester." Mike smiled as his hand ran along the mold. Chester smiled.

"Thank you?" Mike nodded.

"I donno...I mean...so many things have changed since we met...I mean I love the guys, my friends. But they treat me differently and they're supposed to be my best friends." Chester rested a hand on Mike's shoulder, resisting temptation to pull him in for a reassuring kiss.

"Don't worry man, I would never treat you differently." Mike winced silently as Chester's hand withdrew from his shoulder. "Now c'mon. We have an early start tomorrow." Mike looked up.

"We?" Chester smiled, happy to find an excuse.

"Of course. I mean if we have to be there for six I might as well stay the night...if that's ok?" Mike could feel his cheeks threaten to burn.

"D-definitely." He stated, trying to sound cool and not too excited as he sensed Chester smile and heard him leave the room, calling Dodge.

*~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~*

Authors notes: Hope ya'll can accept Dodge, he's a sweetie. Err...with this new rule I won't be updating as much. I mean you know me, I'll still be updating faster than most people but I'm writing It's Not Over [Please look if you haven't already] with Vampire Princess so it'll take I donno only one or maybe two updates a week.

Next Chapter:"Where were you man?" Rob snapped, dragging Chester away from Mike and Joe. "Why are you late?" Chester gazed wide eyed.

"We're right on time." Rob growled, more so at the 'we're'.

"No man. This business is just like modeling. If they say five it means be there at ten to five!" Chester looked behind to see both Joe and Mike gazing in their direction, almost shocked looks on their faces. Joe looked away when he saw Chester gaze their way but Mike didn't for obvious reasons. Suddenly Chester didn't want to be without the youth. He felt more vulnerable as he struggled how to reply to Rob

R/R please!!
