3 ~ Hero

After eating, Marshall and Tracker headed upstairs to have some quiet time before bed. It'd been a long two days to say the least.

Marshall had to shower, and Tracker too, but the shorter wasn't keen on staying alone for too long. Instead, he sat on the counter next to the sink while his taller lover was in the shower. He stayed almost silent but his presence didn't go unnoticed.

Tracker was humming a song to himself as he sat, wrapped in a white towel with his hair still wet, as Marshall smiled when he heard. It was a tiny thing but such a big improvement. Just that morning, Tracker wouldn't so much as cough in front of anyone. Now he was a little more willing to be vocal.

"What're you singing there, Angel?" The black haired male asked over the noise of the running water. Tracker jumped a little - he didn't think that Marshall had heard him.

"Nothing." He said.

"Yes you were. I liked it." He assured.

"Hero." The shy male replied, shifting in his spot a little.

"Enrique?"

"Sí."

"How does that one go again?" Marshall, of course, knew exactly how the song went - it was 'their' song after all - he just wanted to hear Tracker's voice.

The smaller sighed and shifted a little.

"Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Or would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul tonight?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Or would you laugh? Oh, please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you love?
Oh hold me in your arms tonight."

He looked t Marshall and have a small smile. The expression was returned and the taller cleared his throat.

"I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away."

Tracker's smile grew tenfold as he heard the words come from his lover. He'd almost forgotten Marshall's singing voice, but it was one of the most beautiful sounds he'd ever known.

"Would you swear that you'll always be mine
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?"

As he sung the words, Tracker took them in more, subconsciously applying them to himself. Marshall at this point, had shut off the water and wrapped a towel around his waist. He walked over and cupped Tracker's cheek in his palm, noticing by his expression that he was deep in thought.

" I don't care, you're here tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away,
Oh, I just wanna hold you
I just wanna hold you, oh yeah,"

"Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?"

"Well, I don't care, you're here tonight."

Marshall leaned in for a kiss by Tracker shied away, causing the others lips to meet the top of his head.

The darker haired knew that was what would've happened. He just couldn't help himself.

"I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain,"

"I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away,"

"You can take my breath away
I can be your hero."

The two stayed there, tracker leaning his cheek on Marshall's shoulder while the other stroked his damp hair.

"C'mon, let's get changed and try to sleep." Marshall whispered softly, lifting up Tracker who was still bundled in the towel. He giggled quietly and secured his arms around the other's neck.

It was going to be a strange night.
