Oblivious to you ~ Mico

Chapter 3

Mike de Decker's Point of View

2nd November 2023

The last Players Championships of the year ended today, and we were going to go back to the hotel, to then go home. I was waiting on a cab. I felt uncomfortable right now. I don't know where the others are, they said they'd be here in a moment. I could feel him staring at me. I don't like this. Subconsciously my hand was rubbing my shoulder. I always do that when I'm near him. I quickly looked over at him. As Kim noticed I did he stormed towards me. I flinched as he didn't seem to stop. Suddenly he slapped me hard across the face. I quickly stepped away and looked in shock and terror at him. I felt my body shake. I moved my hand up to my cheek and felt where he hit me. "Oh look at you! Just standing there doing nothing! Little wuss. Fucking gay bitch!" he shouted with a harsh tone. I felt tears threaten to come out. I hate getting yelled at, and Kim can be really scary. To avoid anything further happening I quickly walked away. "Pussy!" he shouted at me. I felt the tears roll down my face. I found a spot where I was out of his sight and he was out of mine. I slid down to the ground and buried my face in my knees. If only I was back in Germany now, with Nico. I miss him, even though I saw him just a couple of days ago. A few minutes later I heard two pairs of footsteps, and I could feel them sit down next to me. I don't know who it would be, but I didn't look up. I felt an arm around my shoulders. "What did Kim do this time?" I heard Rowby's voice ask me. I wiped my tears and looked up at him. He noticed my red cheek instantly. His eyes widened at the sight. "We heard shouting so we rushed out, Kim looked like he had snapped." Dimi said. "What did he say to you Mikey?" Rowby asked. "He called me a wuss and a- a..." I replied quietly, not wanting to say the last bit. "Mike, what did he say?" Dimi asked. "He called me a gay b- bitch." I said, stuttering on that word, I hate it. People called me that in school as well. Suddenly I felt Rowby's arm moved down to my waist. My eyes widened and I pushed him away from me and I fell into Dimi. Dimi caught me and I quickly got up. The two others stood up as well now. I stepped away from Rowby. He realised what he had done and instantly looked guilty. I know he didn't do it on purpose but still. I know he had just gotten used to it, so it was a reflex. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Rowby apologised. "It's fine, I just got a bit startled. I blushed lightly as I remembered things clearer than I wanted to. I know Rowby was drunk when it happened, and he hadn't intended to do any of this at all, but I could never seem to get it out of my head. It's a year ago, but I remember it clear as day. I stopped myself from thinking more about it now though and we got back to the hotel eventually. Then I finally got back to Germany.

I entered the house and was surprised when Nico ran forward and hugged me tightly. I blushed and hugged him back. As we pulled away we went back into the living room. I noticed a suitcase by a wall. I pointed confused at it. "I'm leaving in three days." he said as we sat down on the couch. "Where to?" I asked feeling a bit sad if he'd actually leave for good. "Qualification for World Championship." Nico replied. "Oh, when is that?" I asked feeling relieved that he would return. "It's Tuesday to Saturday next week." he replied as he leaned his head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around his waist and only minutes later he was asleep. I smiled at the sight.
