Michael x Noah 🙏

3. ~Will you be my boyfriend?~

Noah's pov:
Finally on break- my shifts aren't that long but still. Sometimes clients are much. I just got done tattooing a guys back. Full on back tattoo. Like I'm talking the whole back. Normally people work their way there but whatever. Took a few hours. And all he did was complain.
I head to the break room, pull out my lunch from my bag, and put it into the microwave for three minutes.
While I wait, I take a seat on the couch in the staff room, pull out my phone and unlock it. I open my messages and stare at Michael's contact.
After what felt like forever, it was really not even 30 seconds, I click on his name.
"Michael I really really like you..."
I sit there staring at the text, wondering if I should send it.

I must have been staring at the message for more than two minutes because-
Beep beep beep beep
I hear the microwave going off. My lunch was done. Heat up romen noodles.
I grabbed it and sat it down on the table next to the couch before I sat back down.

The message was still there. I wanted to send it but...
Delete.
The text message space was now empty. What if I just ask to meet up later? I doubt he'd say no... unless I made him uncomfortable a few days ago at the restaurant...
Meet me at ###### at 4:00 pm.

Not read. Hmm. Maybe he's at work? I guess it's only been 30 seconds...
I smack my hand to my head. Obsessive much, aren't I?

"Hey Noah!" My co-worker, Oliver, says as he sits down next to me.
"Hey jerk." I call him in a joking way, just like I always have.
"You look stressed, fill me in! Spill spill spill!"
"Oh my god- fine."
I watch as Oliver sits there and dead stares at me, not daring to blink until I tell him.
"A few days ago... that guy you checked in for me to pierce, Michael... he's my ex..." I watch as Oliver's face goes into a moody one.
"Uh uh- I'm so sorry I put him with you-"
"No- it's not like that. We left in good terms. I'm glad you put him with me." His mood changes again, this time to a happier one. "I met up with his a few nights ago for dinner and... I think I like him..."
Oliver's face goes from happy to excited in an instant.
"Oh my GOD! I KNEW YOU WETE GAY!"
My face goes blank.
"Uh Oliver- I've told you that before..."
"Oh- sorry-"
"I think I'm gonna ask him out tonight... I've already texted him to meet me at #### park after work today..." I say with a bit of blush.
"aaaaaAAHHHHHHH" Oliver screams. "I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU-" I cover his mouth.
"Shut up! We still have clients out there-

Michaels pov:
As I got out of the bathroom from a shower, I sit on my bed and look at my phone.
A text from Noah?
Noah :):
N: Meet me at ###### at 4:00 pm.
Oh, I have work at 5:00pm tonight...
M: Um okay but I have work at 5:00 though
Delivered.
Read at 2:49pm
Typing...
...
N: that's okay, it won't take long anyway.
I text back an okay and set my phone down. He wants to meet, but it doesn't sound like it's to hang out... he said it won't take long...

4:00pm on the dot. I'm at the park he wanted to meet at. I see him standing by a tree. I get out of my car and walk over to him.
"Ah, hey Michael."
"Hey Noah."
"I- I really need to tell you something but it can't be said over text because... well..."
I got a nervous feeling. Noah never stutters unless it's something that bothers him or he's embarrassed.
"Michael... i really really like you..." Noah said fast, but slow. Like a slow fast, is that even a thing?
"I- Noah-"
"Will you be my boyfriend..."
I stand there in shock for a few seconds.
"well...? Noah said, sounding a little nervous- who am I kidding, he's hell nervous."
"I- Noah, yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" I go up to him and hug him tight, my arms around his neck to pull him down a bit since he's much taller.
I can't really see his face since I'm hugging him, but I swear I felt a smile form on his face.
I back away from the hug and look at the time.
"SHIT IM GONNA BE ALTE FOR WORK!!"
I heard Noah chuckle as a run to my car.
