Light In The Dark - Michael Munroe x M!Reader [Until Dawn]

Chapter Seventeen

"Where is he?" Mike asked, desperate.

"After you answer my questions-"

"Fuck that!" Mike nearly yelled. He stood up from the desk, slamming a hand down. It stung, but he ignored it. "Where is he!?"

The woman sighed, realizing that he wasn't going to talk. Not unless he knew for sure. "Fine. I'll take you to him."

Mike couldn't believe it. He overheard the officers talking about another survivor. The only person it could be was (Y/N). He refused to talk unless he saw him. To make sure he was truly alive.

"In here," The woman held open a door to another interview room. Mike walked inside, his eyes widening when he saw him.

(Y/N). He was alive.

"Mike...?" (Y/N) couldn't believe it. It worked. His stupid plan worked. (Y/N) stood up, having to lean against the table for support. His leg will still killing him.

Mike let out a shaky breath. He walked forward, hands reaching out. He placed his hands on either side of (Y/N)'s face, careful not to touch the bandages on his cheek.

(Y/N) tried not to break down. He couldn't believe they both survived. He couldn't believe Mike was still here. He leaned forward, pressing his forehead against Mike's.

"Mike..." (Y/N) whispered again, closing his eyes.

Mike followed suit, his eyes closing as he took in the feeling of the other. He thought he would never see him again. "I'm here..." Mike said to him, stroking his cheeks.

"I... um," (Y/N) leaned back, opening his eyes again. Mike looked at him, his eyes full of affection. "I need to tell you something, but... I don't know if it's the right time."

Mike cocked his head slightly. "You can tell me," He said softly.

(Y/N) nodded, taking a deep breath. "When I was waiting, I realized... I almost died."

"Yeah," Mike laughed softly. "I thought you did."

"I know and I... I was just thinking... I would've died without telling you."

Mike blinked a few times. "Told me... what?"

"Mike..." (Y/N) tried to look in his eyes, but he couldn't do it. He looked at the floor. "I've been denying it for so long... I've been afraid to admit it. To you... to myself... But... I... I..."

"I love you," Mike finished his sentence for him.

(Y/N) quickly looked back at Mike. "What...?"

"I've liked you for years... I dated Emily and Jessica, trying to get rid of my feelings but..." Mike slowly brought a hand to cup (Y/N)'s cheek. "I still feel the same. Stronger, even."

(Y/N) couldn't believe it. He just stared, mouth slightly agape. "Prove it," He said with a smile.

"With pleasure," Mike grinned. He leaned forward, pressing his lips against (Y/N)'s. He thought about the feeling for years. And now that he was actually kissing him... It was better than he could've imagined.

He didn't know where life went from here. But as long as Mike had (Y/N) at his side, he knew it was going to be okay.
