"Living Gays" (Micheal Afton x Reader)

•part 11•

A/n: nobody's POV....

Y/n and Micheal look everywhere trying to avoid the children running around, "Fredrick?!" You yell and Micheal, frustrated, ruffles his hair. "You said you were alone!" Micheal yells, not liking that you narrow your eyebrows, "we'll I'm not okay?! I didn't mean for it to be a big thing I lied about that?!" You frown and continue to scream for Fredrick.

"Well why did you lie?!" Micheal yells which frustrates you, all you want to do is find Fredrick. "I-....I don't know okay?! Now shut up-!" You yell back until your aunt call your name, "y/n..?" She says looking at you confused. "...aunt.." you whisper but loud enough for Micheal to hear, "where'd Fredrick? And why are you yelling for his name?" She smiles doing a nervous chuckle, she shifts her body crossing her arms. You hold back tears not wanting to burst like a tea pot. "I-..I can't find him.." your voice cracks sacred for what the outcome is..what might be the reality.

"What?...WHAT?!" She yells also scared and then she starts to mumble things from below her breath. "Fredrick?!" She yells with us and without questions, without blame. She moves on to find her beloved son.

"..." you stare and seem to be thinking to yourself again. "Y/n?" Micheal puts a hand in your shoulder and you pull away, "not right now please...I just want to find him." You walk off yelling for Fredrick. Micheal sighs and yells too.

...

We asked so many people but all asked side questions worried about their kid, every time we brought the subject back to Fredrick they always replied with,  "no sorry," I haven't seen him why?" Or "Should I be worried?!" It's been about 40 minutes and still no sign of Fredrick. People were beginning to lose hope.

I fell to my knees and my aunt came to comfort me, "come in y/n! It's gonna be okay, we'll find him.....j-just rest here for a bit." She smiled, how? Through all this? She look on the good side and smiled. Your aunt walked away still looking for Fredrick.

You stared at the ground wanting to bawl your eyes out, if it weren't for you. He probably would still be right here by your side...you thought.

Another minutes has passed, then hours passed. Give up.

....

....

The restaurant was staring to close, children leaving with parents..while you and your aunt sat down on a table worrying taking a mini break. "What if we don't find him.?" You mumble and she shoots a glare at you. "No! We will find him...maybe he couldn't find us! So he went back home! Yes! That must be it!" She laughed nervously, she was losing it.

Then she stopped and started to cry, "...it's all my fault...I should've never taken you children here! I should've watched the news more! I should've been a better mother!" She bawls and starts to just drop everything. You stare at her and start to cry too, "n-no...I left him alone...it's my fault, i should've thought more about him than myself-!" Before you could finish you start to notice Micheal wasn't here with us.

Then you heard his voice. "Y/n! I found him! I found Fredrick!" Without a warning you and your aunt shot towards the voice to another back room full of old equipment and old party supplies. Fredrick laid there unconscious with Micheal by his side, Your Aunt started to sob and slid on her knees to hug Fredrick. Although..

You were frozen. It's the same room... the same room from the nightmare.

Fredrick was...Fred was going to be killed. Thank heavens he wasn't but...how-... you pause and turn your gaze to Micheal who sat there with a worried expression.

Micheal?

You stared around the room, wondering how did you miss this room? You guys asked staff if we could look through the private rooms, in case Fredrick went into a place he did not belong. So how? How did we miss this?

"M.mom?" Fredrick voice sounded tired and depleted, as you unfroze "Fredrick! Oh I'm so sorry!" Your aunt started to cry, guilty for being the person that brought you guys here. "Mom.." Fredrick mumbled hugging her back and squeezing a bit. You smile but turn your gaze towards Micheal...

Micheal seemed to look at Fredrick and then at you, his gaze slowly turned serious as he could tell you were a bit suspicious. "Ah- you guys should go, the restaurant is going to close soon." Micheal suggests ignoring your gaze. "Yes yea.." your aunt says and You walk over to help up Fredrick.

"What happened? What do you remember?" You mumble to Fredrick and he almost freezes, you couldn't help but notice he was trembling.. but smiles "nothing..I- don't remember anything.." his lips trembled as he tries to remember. "Oh..okay don't stress your self Fred." He nods and stares at Micheal,

I wonder what that was about?

You wonder to yourself and help Fredrick out. Finally at the parking lot, the only cars left were some employees leaving, William Afton's car, and ours. "Y/n let me take you home," your aunt says and you kindly reject "I should walk home to Fredrick can get home faster," your aunt narrows her eyes "Y/n, Y/m, Y/Ln. Get in the car." You flinch terrified- "it's okay Mrs. A/n i can walk y/n." Micheals voice comes from behind and smiles.

Still suspicious of Micheal you look at your aunt instead of him. "...fine. Only this once." She Galatea and you could tell she's scared. She doesn't want to lose or almost lose another love one. Micheal thanks her and you stare at your aunts car and drive off leaving you and Micheal.

"How did you know." You say still not looking at Micheal but you started to walk off as the sun started to go down and the sky was an dark blue color mixed with pink and yellow.

"..What do you mean?" Micheal mumbles as he walks beside you.
"You know what i mean Micheal..you knew where Fredrick was and the room..we were allowed to any of the rooms with permission from William and somehow by pure coincidence We missed a room." Your now looking at Micheal who is staring at their feet.

"Y/n...I can't tell you much it I'd be risking your life" Micheal finally says and your eyes widened. "My life?! Micheal what's going on?" You start to sound worried and Micheal sighs "I already told you I can't tell you..." you stop in your tracks and look and Micheal. He looked away from you and obviously isn't telling you to protect you. You slip your hand into his hands and tighten them, blushing you lean in and kiss his cheek.

"Micheal you know you can tell me anything right?" Micheal stares at you surprised. You look into his eyes and shake your thoughts away

I just did that- it's fineee platonic kiss? And it was just in his cheek...everything's fine. Right.hopefully. You thought regret that a bit

"..yea," Micheal smiles and there's silence in the air... shit I made it awkward you do a inside sigh and realize your hand was getting warm, you looked to the side and remembered that you and Micheal were holding hands. You stare and blush some more.

I don't think he's notices yet...so for the time being I'll live in my fantasy. . . You think and look back up not pulling away from Micheals hand. Feeling his warm hand and every texture of it. Micheal may or may not love you. But your slowly starting to figure it out yourself. Maybe, your falling for the Afton names Micheal.

Mini timeskip

Finally you arrive at your house and you stare at the door that for some reason..giving you chills. "Um thank you Micheal for walking me-." You pull your hand away and avoid eye contact in case Micheal finally noticed. "Ah, no problem.." Michael's voice seemed quiet and distant, and had that accent that just made him even more unique. Another awkward silence..
you look at Micheal who was staring at you, eye contact happened for a bit util you pulled away walking to your house.

What else is there to say?
Many, many things. Finally you realized your own feelings, but the real question to you is are they returned?

...

The urge to not walk away and say

I love you.
You bit the inside of your mouth and walked inside, and close the door quickly.

"Well...i think I understand now.."
