You're really cute Mike

Mike x Cedric: My Best Friend Crush Universe (Yall should already know that I am indeed obsessed with this ship. If you haven't read the 'Just a Fling' One shot then honestly what are you doing? It's amazing! It's a secret romance we never even knew. Enjoy!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we were again and a another party where I couldn't look away from Mike. Here we were at another party where I stood back and watched as he flourished around the room. Here we were at the first party I had been to since that night with Mike. It's been a few years since I've seen everyone again. It's been a few years since I have seen Eric and more importantly Mike. I had been avoiding my friends after high school ended because of what happened between Mike and me. How was I supposed to face anyone after that? I was in love with the adorably handsome man who simply looked better with age and there was nothing I could do about it. I ended things with Mike that morning because I knew that he would never feel the same way. It was what Eric said that morning really, he made it clear that Mike was into women. He made it clear to me that Mike and I only happened because we were drunk. He made it clear to me that I needed to move on instead of looking back but then Eric invited me to this Halloween party. He had told me that it was really important and that he wanted all his friends here. I was a good friend, Eric had always been cool so why was I avoiding him like this? I decided that it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to come to this party and then I saw Mike. He was as perfect as ever, he was as cute as always. The man was dressed as a freaking Charmander for crying out loud. How can a grown-ass man be so flipping cute?! I sighed while I watched the Charmander make his way around the house to talk to everyone. Mike was simply just so cute, it was hard to breathe at times. Why was I here? I looked around the room at all the people who were coupled up, all the people who I knew back in high school who used to all be single. When did everything change? When did everyone decide to start getting together and married? When did it go from high school fun to building a life with the person you love? I looked down before going over to the kitchen and getting myself another drink. I don't want to be here anymore. What use was there for me? I was single, I was pinning over a man that could never be mine, what was my purpose at this party? I should just try and slip out the back or something. Eric won't mind if I am not here right? I could just explain all this to him later on, right? I downed my second drink with that thought in mind before slipping around all the people at the party and almost making it out of the door before suddenly everyone got quiet and I mentally cursed. I turned around to see Eric on his knee presenting a ring to Kyle. Well shit, now I can't leave. 

~Mike POV~

"I love your costume, Kyle, what was the inspiration behind being a fairy?" I asked the man in front of me who I had decided to talk to during this party. I didn't know many people here. I did go to high school with most of them but truly only Eric was my friend through all of it. Where was Eric tonight? This was his party and I had yet to actually see him around the house. I have seen a lot of people in amazing costumes, I even saw Cedric. Yeah, that was not fun. I knew that Cedric would be here since he was Eric and my friend back in high school but I had not seen Cedric since we ended up in bed together and then he broke my heart before we could start anything. I had not seen much of Cedric in years. I wonder how he's doing. I wonder if he will talk to me tonight. I would love to talk to him, I would love to know everything about his current life. Selfishly I want to know if he's happy without me. I want to know why he slept with me and then ended things with me. I thought things were good back then, I was in love with him and yet he walked away. I just wish to know what happened before it's too late to find out. 

"Thank you, Mike! I love your Charmander costume too. It's so cute after all. My costume has a back story to it. It's the costume I wore when I was a little kid. That Halloween isn't as nice as this one but Eric and I decided to wear the same costumes as back then to show the universe that it has no power over us. We are together now and nothing can tear us apart" Kyle explained with a bright smile and I couldn't help but smile with him. That was a really cute sentiment. I can only assume from knowing Eric my entire life, that the first Halloween where Kyle wore the costume must have ended with Eric's dad's stupid homophobic issues. I can only imagine it brings back bad memories for them but I am glad that they are moving past it. I am so happy that they could finally be together after all the years of repressed sexuality and hidden feelings. I am truly happy for them. I suddenly smiled brighter when I saw Eric walk over. I hadn't seen him all night, maybe I could finally talk to him now.
