Mike Faist: Don't leave yet

Here's the thing. I like my costar. Is that bad? Probably. Should I care? Probably. Do I? No.

We were packing everything into our cars after our last show. I had finished and was talking to Kara. Mike was nowhere to be seen but his car was still here.

"I'm telling you Y/n. You have to go talk to him. If you don't you may never get the chance to tell him." Kara told me

"But what if he rejects me and we end up working together? I know we both auditioned for Dear Evan Hansen. What if we get the part and I have to see him every day?" I say pacing

"What if he doesn't reject you? What if he likes you back and you get the part and spend every day together?" Kara tries reasoning with me

"But-" I start but she cuts me off

"No buts. Go find him and tell him how you feel or I'm not taking you to get coffee in the morning." She tells me sternly

"Fine." I get up and walk to Jeremy.

"Hey Jer, have you seen Mike anywhere?" I ask him

"Last I saw him he was on the stage. Why?" He responds looking at me

"I need to tell him something." I say

"Well then you better hurry. He's leaving soon." Jeremy tells me turning back around.

"Thanks Jer. I'm gonna miss you." I say hugging him

"I'm gonna miss you too." He hugs me back. "Now go get your man."

"Wha-" I say

"Kara." He tells me before getting in his car

I nod then run in the theater and into the house. I see Mike on stage with his back towards me.

"Mike!" I call out making him turn around.

"Oh h-hey, Y/n" He stutters

"I need to tell you something. Kara told me that if I didn't do it today, I may never have the chance to again." I ramble

"Shoot." He tells me, fully focused

"So, um, I- imaylikeyoubutiknowyoudontlikemesoitsfineifyoujustwalkaway." I blurt out

"Woah," He puts his hands on my shoulders. "Repeat that, but slower."

"I like you, but I know you don't like me, so it's fine if you just walk away." I say looking anywhere but him.

"Y/n, look at me." He says holding my cheek

I look at him and he stares into my soul. But it's not in a creepy way.

"I like you too." He says

"You do?" I ask skeptically

"I do." He reassures me. "Can-Can I kiss you?"

I nod and he leans in. I lean in and our lips collide. We stay there for a few seconds before hearing cheers.

We break apart and see Kara, Jeremy, and Andrew cheering and clapping. Kara of course is recording the whole thing.

"I told you he liked you back!" She yells before the three of them run off leaving me and Mike standing there blushing.

"Let me take you to dinner." He turns to me and holds his hand out.

"Yeah, okay." I say taking his hand.

We walk out of the theater, and head to his car.

Thank you, Kara.
