Promise Me - A Michael Afton x Fem Reader story

Chapter 5 - New Friends

The next three years basically stayed the same between you and Michael. You guys would go home together, hangout (which always consisted of drawing, hide n go seek, tag, any other games you guys made up), Michael would get dropped off, every now and then you went to his house on like a Saturday, and you guys grew closer and closer each day. You guys were inseparable. And now here we are three years later. You both were 8 now and going into 4th grade once the school year started.

1:18 pm

You were laying on your bedroom floor staring at the ceiling.

"Ugh when will Mikey be here, I'm so bored I feel like I'm gonna die there's nothing to do"

Another 20 or so minutes passed, then you heard knocking at the door

"Finally!"

You swung open the door to Michael standing there, cheeks red from the summers heat and sweating. You noticed he had more bruises than usual, but decided he probably just did something stupid and reckless while playing outside since that seemed to happen a lot.

"You look like you're hot"

"I am. Very." He said

You giggled and let him in. You made your way to the kitchen to get him some water with ice since he looked like he would drop any second, he followed you into the kitchen. He chugged all the wager down in a matter of seconds, water running down his chin and onto his shirt.

When he was done he basically fell into one of the chairs at the table.

"Did you walk here?"

"Yeah, I did"

"What do ya wanna do today"

"Well my fatha is going to the diner today at 3 and he has to bring Liz and CC, we could go there, we haven't gone in a long time"

"Oh yeah! Is it gonna be closed again like last time? Or is it open for everyone?"

"Open for everyone, we can order food and I think"

"Okay, let's go then"

"Alright I just have to let my fat-..I'll call Henry and let him know instead, can I use the phone?"

"Yeah go ahead"

Michael got up and dialed Henry's number.

"Hello?"

"Hi Henry it's Michael"

"Oh! Hi Michael, is everything alright? Do you need something?"

"Everything's good I just wanted to tell you im going to come to the diner at 3 with y/n. Im at her house now so I wanted to let someone know I'll be there, I didn't think fatha would answer so I called you instead"

(He just didn't want to talk to his dad)

"Oh alright thanks for letting me know! Im going to head over at three as well, do you want me to pick you guys up?"

"Yeah sure! Her address is /address/ Thanks Henry!"

"No problem Michael, see you at three, bye!"

"Bye!"

"Henry's going to pick us up at three and bring us there"

"Cool okay! I'm gonna go let my dad know"

You ran off to go find and tell your dad leaving Michael in the kitchen for about 2 minutes before coming back.

"He said it's fine, wanna watch a movie in the meantime?"

"Sure"
