"Well, that was very stressful." Tim says as they walk back into their shared bedroom. "My head is pounding."

"At least you got it done. And you weren't judged just like I knew you wouldn't be." Adam says. "I'll get you something for your headache."

Tim sits down on the bed and begins to rub his temples.

"Give me your hand." Adam says.

Tim holds out his hand and feels a couple of pills being placed on his palm. He pops them in his mouth and Adam hands him a cup of water.

"Take your shirt off." Adam says as he climbs on the bed behind his lover.

"You're being awfully bossy." Tim states as he removes his shirt.

"Do you want to feel better or not?" Adam asks.

"I don't really feel like having sex right now, Babe." Tim says over his shoulder.

"Believe it or not, I can get you to feel better without having sex." Adam replies.

"Really?" Tim asks with a raised brow.

"Yes, really." Adam chuckles as he begins to massage the blind man's shoulders. "You're so tense."

"God, that feels good." Tim says with a moan. He bows his head to give the blond better access to the back of his neck. "You have magic fingers."

"Just relax, Sweetie." Adam says softly as he massages Tim's neck, shoulders and back.

When Adam felt Tim's muscles begin to relax, he reaches around laying his hand on his lover's chest and gently pushes him back into his arms. 

With Tim's head now laying back on his shoulder, Adam reaches up and begins to gently massage his temples.

The blond smiles as Tim's breathing become relaxed as he falls asleep in his arms. 

"I love you so much." Adam whispers softly as he kisses the sleeping man's cheek.

"Hey, is he okay?" Chris asks quietly from the doorway.

"Yeah, he was pretty stressed out about talking to the others. It gave him a pretty bad headache." Adam answers in a soft voice.

"I'm sure it was pretty stressful." Chris says as he walks into the room. "But I think I might have some news that will make him feel better along with the rest of us."

"What's that?" Adam says as he runs his fingers through his lover's hair.

"Kelsey is downstairs. Apparently, her parents own a pretty big cabin on a lake. She's wanting us all to go up there and spend a few days." Chris says with a smile. 

"Wow, that does sound pretty awesome." Adam comments with a smile.

"What sounds awesome?" Tim asks as he begins to squirm in Adam's arms.

"All of us going and spending a few days at a cabin on the lake." Adam answers.

"Really?" Tim asks as he sits up and yawns. "That does sound pretty cool."

"We can go swimming, do some fishing, hiking, boating and do some grilling." Chris says. 

Tim turns his head to Chris's voice not realizing he was there.

"Sounds fun. So when do we plan on doing this?" Tim asks.

"Would tomorrow morning be too early to leave?" Kelsey speaks from the doorway.

"Well, considering that you're the only one with a job, I guess it depends all on you." Tim answers with a smirk.

"Jenika can handle things until I come back. I've already got my schedule clear for the whole week." Kelsey replies.

"In that case, I think we need to start packing." Adam chuckles as he gets out from behind Tim and head to the closet for their suitcases.

"The others have already started." Chris laughs. "I think everyone is ready to get away for a while."

~~

"Is this everything? Does everyone have their medication?" Chris asks as he puts the last suitcase into the van. "Rob, Tim?"

"All my medicine is in my suitcase." Rob answers with a nod as his chair is lifted into the van.

"You'll have to ask Adam." Tim says as he and Satchmo climb into the van.

"Tim's eyedrops are packed up too." Adam answers since he did most of the packing.

"What about fishing stuff? Like fishing rods and whatever?" Austin asks as he looks at whoever might answer.

"All that is at the cabin. My dad loves to fish so he has plenty of everything." Kelsey answers.

"Well, let's get on the road then." Chris says as he climbs into the driver's seat. Kelsey gives Nate the address and he programs it into the GPS as Chris heads out for the highway.

"How long is the drive?" Tim asks as he gets comfortable beside Adam.

"It'll take about two hours to get there." Kelsey answers.

"So how many bedrooms do this places have?" Nate asks as he looks between the seats at Kelsey.

"It has six bedrooms and four bathrooms." Kelsey answers. "There's more than enough space."

"My question is, is it wheelchair accessible?" Rob asks.

"Yep." She smiles as she leans over and kisses his cheek. "The man that owned the place before my dad was a war veteran and was in a wheelchair."

Chance taps Kelsey's arm to get her attention.

"What about food? Shouldn't we stop and get groceries?" Chance signs.

"Nope. My parents were just here a couple of days ago. When I called him to see if it was okay for us to come up here, he told me that the fridge and deep freeze were fully stocked and that we shouldn't need anything. If we do, there's a store about five miles from the cabin." Kelsey replies.

The van falls silent for the rest of the drive. Some even dozed off to sleep out of boredom.

Adam dozed off with his head laying on Tim's shoulder. Tim had gone to sleep with his head laying against Adam's. Nate had his eyes closed with his head leaned back against his seat. The others just stared out the windows watching the scenery.

"We have reached our destination." Chris announces as he pulls into the driveway.

Everyone that was napping quickly raises up and looks around.

"Wow, this is awesome." Austin smiles as he looks out at the lake.

Everyone begins to unload from the van. Chatting and smiling about the beautiful surroundings.

Tim grabs Satchmo's leash with one hand and tightly grips Adam's bicep.

"Are you alright?" Adam asks, looking down at the tight hold that Tim had on his arm.

"I'm pretty nervous. I'm not familiar with anything." Tim says quietly as he nervously shifts his eyes around.

"Satchmo and I will be your sight. We won't let you run into anything." Adam smiles and pats Tim's hand. He removes Tim's hand from his bicep and places it on the railing of the walkway leading to the house. "There's a walkway leading to the house. I think Satchmo can handle it from here. Once you get near the house the walk will widen, you stop there and wait on me, okay? I have to grab our luggage."

"Okay." Tim nods. "Let's go, Satch."

Tim begins to feel his way down the walk with Satchmo walking calmly beside him. He comes to where the walkway widens into what seems to be like a balcony.

"I guess this is where we're supposed to stop and wait." Tim says and Satchmo lays down on the deck. Tim leans on the railing and closes his eyes. He was further enough away from the others that he could concentrate on the sounds around him.

The rustling of the leaves in the gentle breeze. The lapping of the water against the bank. The singing of the birds in the trees around him.

The sounds of nature soon had him zoned out. He didn't hear the footsteps of his lover walking up behind him. He jumped as he felt the blond's arms sliding around his waist.

"Sorry." Adam giggles as he kisses Tim on the shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"Just listening." Tim smiles as he closes his eyes once again. "If I could imagine peace with a face, this is what it would look like."
