Michael was out with Calum at the mall, having some time out. "Cal, can we go into Hot Topic?" Michael smiled as they passed by the store, Calum giggled in response and Michael pulled him inside, immediately going to the band tees. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Green Day, Nirvana, Journey, Dragonforce, Blink 182 and many more band tees lined the walls. Michael picked out a band tee, "Are you gonna do a fashion show for me?" Calum smiled and Michael nodded, going to the changing room and changing into the Metallica muscle tee. He walked out and showed off the tee, Calum smiled. He loved how the tank hugged Michael's waist and his belly was slightly sticking out. "You like it?" Michael asked, "I think it looks-" Calum was cut off by a group of boys, "I think it's pretty tight on him. Don't you think?" The boy with dark brown hair smirked, his posse all nodded in agreement and Michael's heart sank to the floor, he rushed back into the changing room and changed back into his tan sweater. "Can we go home now?" He asked in a sad tone and held Calum's hand, as they walked out Michael felt the boy pinch his love handle and he just hung his head lower. Michael was silent the whole ride home as his insecurities that he already had just gotten bigger thanks to that jerk.
"Mikey, you okay? You haven't touched your food." Calum asked worriedly, seeing as Michael was just pushing his Panda Express noodles around. "I'm fine, I guess...." He mumbled and Calum got up from his side of the table, "What's wrong babe?" He asked as he knelt down to meet Michael's green eyes. "Why do you love me?" Michael asked with a frown, "I love you because you're sweet, caring, selfless, beautiful, silly." Calum listed. "Fat, gross." Michael added and Calum saw tears in his eyes, "Where did you get those from?" He asked and a tear slid down Michael's chubby cheek. "Hot Topic." Michael sniffled and Calum wiped away the tears that slid down the pale boy's cheeks, "Michael, you're not fat at all. You have a little belly that I find fucking adorable, your little cheeks, your bubble butt is fucking cute, your love handles are great. I love every single inch of you, nothing will change that." Calum smiled and cupped Michael's face, connecting their lips and he felt Michael smile against his lips. "Now, eat and then we'll cuddle." Calum smiled and Michael nodded, taking a big forkfull of noodles and shoving it in his mouth. And after Michael ate his fill, they cuddled in bed and watched Disney movies.
