Promise Me - A Michael Afton x Fem Reader story

Chapter 7 - Park Hangout

((CW: mention of implied abuse.))

A couple days passed since the 4th of July and you decided it was Time to call Astra, the other girl in the friend group you and Michael met at the diner.

"Hello?"

"Hi, its y/n"

"Ohhh, Hey! What's up"

"Well, I was thinking all of us should hangout today, are you free?"

"Yeah I was thinking it was time we all hangout too!, I'm free, I'll call the others and see if they are too and I'll call you back"

"Okay, bye"

You both hung up and she called you back, letting you know they were all free. You told her your address and told her to tell the others to come to your house at 2. You called Michael to let him know

"Hello?"

"Y/n?"

"Hi liz, can you get Mikey?"

"Sure! - MIIIICCHAAAELLLLLLL"

You heard a faint "Yeah?" From the background

"Y/N WANTS TO TALK TO YOU ON THE PHONE"

Michael came to the phone

"Hello?"

"Hi. Remember the other kids from the diner?"

"Yeah"

"We're all hanging out today. Come to my house at 2."

"Oh- um okay, bye"

"Bye"

"Well I guess I don't really have a choice" Michael thought to himself.

Michael wanted to be the first one there due to the fact that he was still a little nervous meeting all these new people at once, so he left his house at 1:45.

"I hope this all goes well... what if they don't like me? What if I say or do something dumb?" Michael's head filled with worried questions on his bike ride over to your house, his insecurities coming back like last time.

He arrived at your house at around 1:50 and knocked on the door, hoping he was there before anyone else. Luckily, he was. You let him inside and brought him to your room, like usual. Once you both sat on the floor he started asking a million questions.

"What are we going to do when they come?"

"We could all play outside, its nice out today"

"What games will we play?"

"Dunno, probably the games we usually play like hide'n'seek and tag and stuff"

"Oh okay"

You knew for a fact he was nervous, when he is, he asks a million questions and starts asking a bunch of "what if's". You were just a little nervous but not really, you were more excited if anything.

"....what if they don't like me?" He asked quietly and breaking eye contact.

You sighed, "Mikey, why wouldn't they like you?"

"....I don't know"

"See! There's no reason they wouldn't like you, I promise you they will"

"I guess so..."

Michael felt a little better. You always seemed to make him feel better when he talked to you, it was one of his favorite things about you, but he would never admit that out loud, fearing that it would make him sound weak or something.

A little knock was heard on your front door.

"They're here!" You said standing up.

You held out your hand to Michael to help him up. Once he was on his feet you pulled him into a quick hug, causing the boys cheeks to turn a light pink color.
