Ian and Mickey were lying in bed after a vigorous fuck session. A few minutes ago, they were kissing and cuddling, but Ian had untangled himself from his lover to lie on his back and stare at the ceiling. Mickey was quite confused by this, and lay on his side looking at the redhead.
"What are you thinking about?" Mickey whispered.
Ian sighed, and looked at the shorter man. "Do you believe in aliens, Mick?"
Mickey started to laugh. Aliens? Seriously? A minute or so later, he composed himself, and answered, "Fuck no! I may be dumb, but I'm not that fuckin' dumb. I mean, I think my boyfriend might be one-" he paused here to smile at the love of his life "-but besides that, there ain't nothin' on those other planets. No fuckin' way."
"I do," the ginger said simply, staring at the ceiling again.
"What makes you think that?"
"There are so many planets out there beyond our solar system. I actually think it's kinda dumb to believe that we're the only life in this universe. Also, I'm pretty sure I saw a UFO once," Ian chuckled, but he was being completely serious.
"I thought your brother was supposed to be the sciencey one. Are you sure you haven't been doing hard drugs?" Mickey questioned.
"Positive. It's just what I believe. What I... want to believe, anyways."
"I think it's time to go to sleep. Let's hope some shithead aliens don't come to abduct you in the night," Mickey smiled, turning off the lamp. Ian continued to gaze towards the sky with a knowing look in his eye.
