"You know, Michael, you're really selfish," Micah said in his cold tone, looking at his best friend with those black, lifeless eyes of his.
Selfish? Is that what Micah thinks about him? Michael didn't think he was selfish at all. I mean, he is a selfless person; at least he thinks so. Something in Michael just snaps. He isn't selfish, especially not towards him; he would never.
"SELFISH" Michael shouted, filling the room with anger and disbelief.
“I’ve been STUCK being PERFECT!” His voice was filled with rage and irritation, his left eye twitching as he spoke, “My whole entire life!... And literally, “The only thing you have ever done for me is MESS THINGS UP!” Michael yelled, furious, grabbing Micah by his collar.
Micah shoved Michael with a kick to his stomach as he glared at the blonde boy. He didn't know why Michael was acting this way; why was he blaming him? What did Micah even do to him? "Nothing is messed up!" Micah yelled at the other boy, getting agitated by the second this continued.
“You’re still dating the sweetest girl.”
"I never wanted to date her!"
Michael squeezed into Micah's shirt grip as tightly as ever and buried his face in his shirt. Then, he said it.
"I was always in love with you..."
. . .
"
Michael realized what he had just said; he looked up at Micah like a deer in headlights, eyes wide and mouth closed tightly. Before Micah could even speak, Michael did. "I didn't mean it," he said frantically, his voice filled with fear and panic instead of anger and irritation. He looked as pale as a ghost.
Micah looked down at him, eyes slightly wide, mouth agape. "You're in love with me?" Micah said in an unreadable tone. His best friend was in love with him.
How long has Mike loved him romantically?
But didn't he like Des he did date the blonde girl for years, he thought.
Michael didn't answer, Oh, how Michael wanted to cry right now. Micah probably was disgusted by him, he thought. Tears prickled the corner of his blue eyes. He let go of Micah's shirt and took a few steps away from the raven-haired boy. "..." He wanted to speak, but his mouth felt dry. He managed to finally choke something out of his stupid mouth of his, the same mouth that got him into this mess. "Could I... Uh, step away for a moment; I need a moment to myself."
Micah looked at the other. He didn't say anything. Michael walked away from Micah. He ended up going to the bathroom; he closed the door behind him and let out a soft sigh. "What is wrong with me?" he muttered to himself.
He looked at himself in the mirror, his mind clouding with unpleasant thoughts swarming him, and he couldn't seem to swat them away.
"He hates you now."
"You saw the way he looked at you. He thinks you're disgusting."
"He probably doesn't want to talk to you again."
"He is in love with Zeyn."
"He will never love the way you love him.
Ouch. That last one stung hard.
Micheal broke down silently sobbing. Why why why did he say that? God, he was so stupid he wished he didnt accidentally confess to the boy he loves so dearly.
Micah knocked on the door gently not wanting to startle the blonde
"Hey Mike you okay in there?"
He cares.
"I'm okay," he said loud enough for Micah to hear.
"Could you come out please i just wanna make sure your truly okay" the raven haired boy was concerned about his friend he really hope Mike didn't harm himself.
Micheal wiped his tears quickly then unlocked the bathroom door as soon as he open the door he was face to face with Micah.
Micah looked at the other he could tell the blonde was crying but he didn't see any fresh scars or any at all for that fact.
Micah hugged Micheal, the blonde leaned into Micah's touch he didn't notice but tears started to flow again,"hey its gonna be okay" Micheal hugged the other tight.
"I'm gonna be honest Micheal."
the younger boy said bluntly "Ever since a couple of weeks ago I realized that I have a crush on you ."
"what you you.." Micheal fumbled with his words "What about Zey?"
he asked
"Well i realized i see her more like a dear friend and we were arguing alot and not really getting along like before."
Micheal was dumbfounded i mean Micah was chasing Zeyn for years now there is no way he would switch up so fast. this is a joke right? Micah is just playing with him right? Playing with his heart.
"Do you really mean it Micah." his lips trembled as he spoke
"I do. Micheal, I really do love you" the raven-haired boy said reassuringly.
Micheal felt like he was dreaming he really did.

Micheal woke up the next morning with Micah laying in his arms.
