Just Friends

Part 12

As you and Michael got back to your room, you let yourself fall on the bed and hugged your pillow tightly. The entire walk to the dorm is quiet. Niall and Diana stayed behind, so you were only with Michael when you got back. Michael suddenly breaks the silence. "Do you think we should go back?" You hesitate before answering, "yeah. I mean, you like it, right?" Michael immediately answers, "yeah, but if you're not comfortable then let's just not go." It's the first time Michael actually enjoyed interacting with people, and even if it means a countless belly shots, you can't take that away from him. "No. It's fine. Let's go sometime again. I liked kissing Niall." You piped. Michael looks away and said, "did you really?" You nod shyly. "So you are smitten!!!" He says. "Yeah, so??? It's far off, Mikey. He's a junior and I'm just a freshman. He's probably in his early 20s and I'm just 19. He's just playing me." You say. "Hey, I'm in my early 20s too and I like you." Michael suddenly said, but he quickly added, "I mean, you're like the sister I never had, Y/N!" He smiles, but you hope he didn't add more. Because you do like Michael, but you're just too afraid of the fact that being with him-romantically, might just ruin the strong friendship you have. You don't want that. So you bottle up your feelings... Like what you always do. "Whatever." You answer, slightly smacking him. "So, sex on a plane huh?" You say, teasing him. "Yeah it was a hot, random girl." You scoff, "so it is true! I thought for a minute you were lying! She could've had AIDS Michael!" "Probably not!!!" He counters, "anyway, she didn't. I'm sure! And she's really flexible. Impressive." You laugh as Michael walks towards the kitchen and asks, "wanna cook something?" You quickly stood up and walked towards him, jumping on his back and slinging your arms around his neck. "Okay go! Cook!!!" You say. "Y/N. Get off!" You don't. Michael starts rocking side by side, but you held on tight because your legs are wrapped around his hips as well. "Dammit. Y/N." But you can feel Michael smiling. "If you don't get off, I won't give you some of this delicious stuff I'm preparing." So you do get off... mainly because you're starved, and you help Michael prepare the food.
