Cigarette #2 (Michael gets caught)

"Are you sure your parents are gonna be gone for a week?" Elijah asked. Michael smiled and looked at his boyfriend. "Yes, I'm sure, they told me. And I can lock my door so my siblings and my parents wont immediatly be able to see what were doing." Elijah shrugged but tried to trust his boyfriend. "Oh, and I wont be able to stay long, my mother wants me to look after my siblings when she goes to the doctors." Michael looked at Elijah with an annoyed look. "Their teens, they can look after themselves." Elijah looked at Michael with a "that's what I'm saying" look on his face and took a long puff of his cigarette. "I know, but I myself don't want them to get hurt in any way. So I'm gonna leave in about...6 hours." Michael nodded then out out his cigarette.

"Let's get something to eat." He pulled his boyfriend arm but he protested. "Your siblings are snitches and your father said don't have any one over. I'm not going out there." Michael rolled his eyes and smiled at Elijah. "Then we'll have to be quick, huh?" Elijah wanted to just talk and sit back down on the bed, but, he didn't wanna say no to Michael either so he went.

They quickly grabbed all the snacks they could then rushed back to Michael laughing while throwing the snacks on the bed an locking the door back. "See, that was easy." Elijah nodded then sat criss-cross on the floor. They started to eat the food they brought for themselves, watched movies, smoked and just overall be together till they heard a loud knock on their door.

"Eli, fuck off!" Michael yelled, but quickly widened his eyes when he heard his father start scolding him from the other side. Elijah quickly hid under the bed but William had managed to find a screw that could unlock Michael's door and saw the cigarettes, and Michael's boyfriend. Michael knew he was fucked.

"Michael, who is that?!" Michael was silent and didn't know what to say or do, his heart had fell to his ass atp. "Uh- dad! Help me, please- I barely know this dude he came through the window, locked the door and forced me to smoke!" Elijah looked at Michael with an confused and shocked face. William yelled at Elijah to leave and he quickly left through the door. Michael let the tears in his eyes fall down his cheeks, not cause he was caught, but cause he knew he fucked up his tv time and relationship.

Michael tried to contact Elijah but he wasnt looking or responding to his text. He even tried to go to his house but his sister told him Elijah didn't want to see him anymore. Fuck her. Michael didn't know what to do. He threw his phone in anger and cursed himself for choosing to do such a stupid thing.

"I knew we should have came sooner, who knows what that boy made him do!" William said in a panicked voice to his husband who was trying to calm him down. "William, hun, clam do- "How could I possibly calm down, Vincent?!" Vincent quickly hushed up and continued to rub William's hair trying to settle him down.

"How about you go check on Michael and see if that makes you feel better." William nodded and walked to Michael's room, hoping to see his eldest unharmed. "Hey, Michael, are you okay?" William opened the door to see his eldest sitting with his knees against his chest and head resting ontop of them. William walked over to Michael and sat beside him on his bed.

"I just wanna check on you, Michael. I love you, okay? Are you harmed? Michael shook his head and William quickly brought him into his embrace. Michael hugged his father, thinking about when he's gonna tell his father the truth and thinking about Elonah. The only person that has been clogging up his brain, the only person that brought him true joy.

"I couldn't go to sleep without checking up on you, but, I won't stay long since I know you don't like people in your room." William hesitantly walked out of Michael's room and closed the door. Michael layed there just wanting to forget about all of it and move on with his life but it wasn't as easy as you think.

Michael saw him. Saw him walking in the hallway writing on a paper that seemed to be paper work from a class he goes to. Michael thought about it and slowly approached Elijah. "Elijah- please, listen to me, don't leave-" As soon as he said that, Elijah just ignored him and started to walk away but Michael grabbed his wrist.

"Elijah, please, I'm sorry. I swear I am, I can't do this without you! Elijah quickly snatched his wrist from Michael's grip and continued to walk away, not wanted to talk to him. Michael quickly put his hood over his head, noticing the tears about to fall from his eyes.

He quickly wiped them and walked the other way, embarrassed and confused. He just wanted things to go back to normal, but, like he said, it's not as easy as you think.

The day went on and he just seen Elijah happy, talking to other people but his boyfriend. The one that wanted him to most didn't get to talk to him at all that day. Michael couldn't do it anymore, he ran to Elijah and nugged him as he saw him walking to his house.

"Elijah, listen! Why are you ignoring me!" "Jesus, Michael, it's obvious I don't want to talk to you!" "I don't care, I wanna talk to you and I'm sorry!" The argument they were having got the glares of many people walking to their house or bus.

"You expect me to just wanna talk to you after you accused me, got me grounded and now alot of people think I'm a creep, because you decided to take no blame." "Elijah, I know- I don't know what I was thinking then and I'm very sorry, could you please listen to me talk?

Elijah, sighed deeply, obviously annoyed and felt his boyfriend wasnt listening to a word he was saying. "Let's go somewhere else and talk about it. People are already looking." A hint of relief and happiness flew through Michael's body, he followed his boyfriend to the sea side and they sat down.

"Elijah, I know I shouldn't have blamed you for what we were doing. But we both in a predicament that we both didn't wanna get in trouble- and I know that's a shitty excuse, but I didn't mean to blame it on you, I was so overwhelmed in the situation."

"I was overwhelmed too, Michael. That still doesn't explain anything." "I know, just listen- I had to think fast, I didn't wanna see you get in trouble, but I didn't wanna see myself get in trouble, either. I'll tell your family and  my family what was really going on."

Elijah thought to himself for a few moments. Michael's body was going to explode, and it did when he heard the words: "I forgive you, I love you Michael." He jumped out his seat and gave his boyfriend a big hug. They exchanged kisses for a while, well, because Michael didn't wanna stop.

~☆THE END☆~
