Mike Shinoda's POV
Just like I thought, the media took me helping Chester the other night like sharks take chum in the water. Everyone in the band was frustrated in this endeavor. I'm used to the media slandering my name, have been for a long time, and Chester before the accident wouldn't have been bothered. But.... Chester now, it was obvious he was hurting. As I write this, I'm watching him out of the corner of my eye on the other side of the tour bus. His lips are quivering slightly as he holds his phone. I knew he was hurt. Damn media. Never considering anyone's feelings. I want to help, but what do I do? Deny my feelings for him and act like it's another part of the job or embrace it while our names are already considered in this shit. "Being homosexual in the music industry" that is. What if he denys me? What if I ruin everything? No matter, leaving him alone breaks my heart in two, I can't imagine what he's going through.
Chester Bennigton's POV
I don't know why, but I'm hurt. I don't know why, but when all these articles mention how straight Mike is and how he'd never date a man, I feel a pit in my stomach and the emptiness I feel when we are apart. I shouldn't want to be with my best friend. I mean, before the accident, I was married to a woman, so why is my sexuality so questionable now, and why do I want to be with my best friend? I wish I was a woman. Then I could be in those soft arms with no issue. As I focus back to reality, I see him looking at me from across the room. He smiles, I love that smile.
He comes over and sits down beside me, I try to hide my excitement.
"Chester, I-" He whispers, looking at me with a look I've never seen before stopping like he's in deep thought. He then shakes his head slightly before smiling and saying,
"Don't let the media affect you. They are just trying to find the next thing to report on. I mean, it's not like we could be gay, right?" He laughs, punching my shoulder.
I felt it like a stab through my chest. Mike's words established two things:
1. Mike is, in fact, straight.
2. Mike Kenji Shinoda definitely doesn't have feelings for me.
I laugh and try to distract myself. How dare I be so naive.
Mike Shinoda's POV
Chester's reaction made a part of me hurt and, at the same time, established two things:
1. Chester is, in fact, still straight.
2. Chester Charles Bennington doesn't have feelings for me.
