No one POV
"Everyone can choose their seat but be quiet. We don't want to disturb the others" the teacher said before entering the theatre.
Mikey sat next to his friends and honestly he didn't care one bit about the show but he never refused a school trip.
Then, when the show was about to start, Harvey sat next to him.
He seemed excited, his eyes were shining from how happy he was and his leg kept bouncing, Mikey didn't get it.
"You don't seem excited" Harvey pointed out.
"It's just a show..."
"No, it's not a simple show. It's The ugly duckling, one of the most beautiful ballets"
Mikey found that excitement cute even though he didn't understand how a 7 years old could be so excited over a ballet.The light dimmed down and the theatre went pitch black, the show was starting.
The dancers moved flawlessly on stage and Mikey didn't expect it, he was hypnotized.
There was something in the ballet that moved him, maybe the fact that the duckling got left behind or maybe cause there was a beauty in the choreography that even a 7 years old kid could sense.
Harvey noticed that Mikey was getting emotional so he slowly grabbed his hand.
His hand was sweaty and that made Mikey's sweaty but even though it was slightly weird the touch was tender and they stayed like that for the whole ballet.
Whenever there was an intense moment Harvey would squeeze the hand and Mikey rested his head on him at one point.
The magic of everything disappeared when they turned the lights back on and Mikey pulled his hand away.
"So you changed your mind?"
"I- yeah it was a nice show..." Mikey felt weird.
"Ok, I'm glad that you think that" Harvey smiled.-nowadays-
"Remember that tonight we have a show, don't be late"
"Liv, just because that guy gave you tickets it doesn't mean that you have to drag me there..." Mikey complained while packing his bag.
"I go to gay clubs with you every time"
"Ok, whatever" Mikey rolled his eyes.
Then he left to go to work.
Everyone was convinced that Mikey would have followed a classical academic path but he ended up being the CEO of some international company that earns way too much money for no reason but Mikey didn't care, he was just doing his job.
He was too selfless anyway to live the millionaire life, he loved giving so whenever there was a chance to help he does whatever he can.
Back to the show, he doesn't hate ballet it's just that the majority of the time he finds them boring but Liv was right, she did come to all the gay clubs with him so...The day passed by quickly thank god and Mikey was already at Liv's place to pick her up.
When they entered, she was starstruck.
The golden ceilings, the red velvet chairs and all those people dressed in elegant dresses...the room smelled of rich.
"I'll go say hi to him be right back"
And in two seconds Liv disappeared.The show started and it was the Ugly duckling, Liv was only waiting for his boy to appear on stage while Mikey just watched, not impressed.
The dancers were really good, he had to admit but one caught his eyes...the Ugly duckling.
He looked like he was flying, effortlessly on the stage and at the end of the show a tear rolled down his cheek.
It was a rollercoaster of emotions.
Mikey never felt like that before, he's not a cold person, it's just that it's hard for him to get emotional this easy.
"Amazing. Just amazing! How do you guys do it?"
Liv dragged him backstage to talk to his boy...again.
"A lot of tears and practice" he said with a kind smile.
"Well it was amazing even Mikey thought so and he doesn't love ballet"
"Who doesn't love ballet?" The Ugly duckling chimed in.
"Emm..." Mikey didn't expect him to hear it.
"Well, I'm glad I was the first one to change your mind" the boy winked.
"What is your name again sorry?"
"Mikey..."
"Harvey"
And Mikey couldn't believe his eyes, Harvey...his classmate that held his hand at the theatre when they were 7 years old was in the ballet company of London and in front of him.
"Oh my god" was the only thing that his mind could think of.
"You're in the company..."
"Yeah...? You just saw me on stage" he laughed finding Mikey's confusion cute.
"I-I didn't know...like wow"
"Was our show better than the one we saw when we were kids?"
Mikey couldn't believe that he remembered it.
"Mmm...I don't know, to be honest, probably you guys need to improve a couple of things..." Mikey joked and Harvey smiled.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but if you wanna join me and Liv at dinner for us it's ok"
