Michael x Noah 🙏

17. ~Back home~

Michaels pov:
I feel someone tapping my shoulder.
"Michael, wake up," I hear Noah's soft voice.
"Mmmmh..." I mumble
Noah chuckles. "Michael, we have to start heading on the road, don't wanna be stuck in traffic now do we?"
"I don't wanna get uppppp." My eyes still shut, me still covered in blankets.
I feel Noah picking me up, wrapping me with one of his sweatshirts.

I open my eyes for a second, seeing the time.
6:06am.
Why so early?? That means I got like, 3 hours of sleep.
I cuddle up against Noah's chest while he's holding me.
Another chuckle comes from him.
"I already put our bags in the car, I knew you wouldn't want to get up."

He turns the tv off and carry's me out of the room.
The girls were tiredly standing in the hallway.
"Noahhhh why so earlyyyyy?" Charlotte says.
"Traffic." Noah answers.
"You never care about traffic though." Nicole says.
"It's totally because he forgot to invite Maya, Oliver, and Alex." Charlotte adds.
"It is not." Noah says.
"Whatever you say, Noah." Nicole says back.

Noah opens the back seat door and sets me down.
"Charlotte, you're driving first." Noah tosses the keys into Charlottes hands.
"Fucking idiot! Why?!" Charlotte complains.
"Because I said so. Nicole, sit up front."

The car situation was finally settled.
Noah slide me over into the middle, letting me rest on his shoulder.

Noah's pov:
It hasn't even been five minutes after we start driving when I try to talk to Michael.
"So, you sad we're leaving?"
...
No answer.
"Michael?"
I look down at his on against my shoulder.
He's asleep.
I wrap my arm around him, pulling him closer than he already is.
I feel bad for him. He got kidnapped and hurt because of me.
How could anyone look at him and feel the need to hurt him?
Samuel. Samuel's team. His mother. His father. His whole family, besides siblings.
They all could hurt him for no reason.
The only person who actually would spend time with him before me was that guy, uh, Henry, was it?
I don't blame him for not realizing that sticking someone's head in an animatronics mouth would lead to bad injury's, even death.
No one taught him better. His mother and father always resulted to violence when it came to Michael. Never once laying a bad hand in his siblings
He didn't realize what was going on was abuse until he told me about it.
I don't really wanna think of this right now... I just wanna have a nice care ride...

"Uh, Hello? Earth to Noah?" Charlotte says.
"Huh? What?" I look at Charlotte and Nicole.
"We've both already driven. It's your turn." Nicole says.
"What-" I look and see Michael awake on his phone, still against me.
How long was I lost in thought?
There is no way it's been 6 hours.
Maybe I fell asleep and was dreaming about those thoughts?
Most likely.
I sit up, Michael moving to Hannah so I could get up.

Michaels pov:
Noah took a few minutes to wake up. What time did he wake up anyway. He had time to pack up both our bags, his hair was damp, so I'm assuming he showered. I don't really know.
I slept pretty good in the car. I made up lost sleep time.

After Noah moved to the drivers seat I went over to Hannah, talking to her.
I haven't had a good conversation with her in a bit. This will be nice.

"Hey Hannah Wannah" I giggle. She just looks at me.
"Hey Mikey Wikey." She giggles now, leaving me looking at her.
"Hannah Wannah Banana."
"Mikey Wikey Tikey."
"Hannah Wannah Banana Gannah."
"Mikey Wikey Tikey Rikey."
"Hannah Wan- you win." I say, giving up.
She giggles at her win.
She ruffles my hair.
"Hey- what was that for?" I ask, fixing it.
"Your hair looks extra soft today."
I pull her hair.
"Hey- ow." She says.
"Your hair looked extra pull able today."
She rolls her eyes at me.
"Oh, I wanted to know what you thought about this dress? I really like it, but do you think I'll ever wear it?" Hannah shows me the dress.
"Uh Hannah? That dress is uh, no. Don't buy it."
"What? Why?"
"It's uh- pretty, yes, but it's... uh don't you think it's a bit... fancy?"
"No."
"Too dressy?"
"No"
"Too..."
"Michael- I know what you're trying to say- I can't afford it."
"Wow you know me so well." I chuckle.
Hannah elbows me.
"Ow- bitch!"
We both start laughing.

Noah's pov:
Finally, I park the car in our driveway. Home. Home sweet home.
Nicole and Charlotte get out of the car.
I open the back door for Michael but realize he's sleeping.
Awwww Michael and Hannah have their heads rested against each other, sleeping, like siblings do.
I take out my phone and snap a picture before picking Michael up.
Hannah wakes up since I have to reach over her to get Michael.
She gets out of the car and walks tiredly to the door.
I hold Michael in my arms, bringing him inside.
I bring him into our room and set him down on the bed, covering him with blankets.

After I bring our bags in, I set them down on my floor. I change into comfy clothes and lie down next to Michael, pulling him close to me.

I kiss his forehead before shutting my eyes, slowly falling asleep.
