22- you think they are A- mike- part 2

Aria came to visit you later in the day, hearing about your argument with mike.

"Hey..." she said softly, knocking on the door. She gave you a sympathetic smile as she sat next to you on your bed, wiping away the tears that had fallen down your cheeks. she was like a sister to you and you knew that she didn't know the whole truth yet.

"He took the blood aria." Her hand fell, her mouth opening in shock.

"How do you..."

"I saw it, that's why we argued." She didn't say anything, but she lay down next to you, staring up at the ceiling. you held her hand supportively, knowing it must be hard to hear her own flesh and blood did this to her and her friends.

"Have you told the others?" you shook your head, but she didn't need to see you to know the answer. Even though you tried to deny it everyone knew you were helplessly in love with him. you would protect him even if it put you in danger.

"Are you going to tell them?" she shook her head as well before sighing.

"I can't do that to mike.... He has to have a good reason for doing this, he's not evil." she said. You sat in silence for a while, letting the revelation sink in.

You knew you had to speak to him, but after your outburst, you didn't want to. you had told him about your feelings, if A didn't destroy your relationship, you had. You knew you weren't going to be the one to make the first move. Thankfully he did.

It was a few days later, you arrived home from school to find him waiting on your doorstep. Hesitantly you invited him inside, not wanting anyone to over hear your conversation.

"I need to explain." He started. You stayed silent, causing him to understand just how angry you were. "I took the blood from the drive. Yours, Aria's, Spencer's and Hanna's. I had to. For you." He waited for you to respond but you paced back and forth, running your fingers through your hair.

"A was going to hurt you." He finished, making you look up into his eyes which were filled with sadness and regret.

"You hurt me..." you muttered, trying to keep yourself from breaking down by rubbing your hands up and down your arms. He knew you well enough to recognise the action.

"I did this so you wouldn't get hurt by A. it was the best of the options I had."

"Do you know what A was going to do with the blood?" you asked. He shook his head.

"They were going to frame me for murder and send me to prison for a long time. Is that what you wanted?"

"No of course not... but it's better than you dying! I can't lose you! You mean too much to me. Y/n, I love you too."

Those 5 words impacted you so much you broke down, sobs erupting from your body. He moved forward fast, catching you in his arms as you fell towards the floor. He guided you down, pulling you onto his lap so that you had a leg either side of his.

"I'm so sorry y/n. I didn't know what else to do." You grabbed hold of his shirt, letting out all the emotion you had been building up.

"I-I don't know if I c-can trust you." You said between cries, but stayed in his arms.

"I made a mistake, I know. But I do love you, with all my heart! I was trying to protect you."

You didn't know what to do. He was working with A to steal your blood which would've resulted in you being locked up for life. But he was doing it to keep you safe.

You pulled away to look at him, now noticing his red eyes. You didn't know he had been crying as well.

"d-do you really love me?" you asked. His grip on you tightened.

"Yes, I do. I have loved you for a long time. Since we met." He confessed. You took him by surprise, pressing your lips to his quickly. When you leant back his eyes were closed and his lips hadn't moved. He opened his eyes shortly after, a smile on his face.

"Does this mean we're together?" he asked cheekily, bringing a hand to your cheek.

"Hmmm...." You pondered teasingly. "I'll have to think about it."

He wrapped his hands around you tightly to keep you still, then he jumped forward, peppering your face and body with kisses. You laughed, for the first time in a while.

"Mike!" you groaned.

"Stop it!" you laughed, trying to push him away playfully. He stopped, placing his lips on yours again, this time for longer. You moaned, making him run his hand up your thigh. You tangled your hands in his hair, pulling him closer, only stopping to breathe.

"yes." He looked at you confused. "Yes we're together" you said.

"I'll never do anything like that again." He said referring to the blood. "If anything happens, we'll talk to each other. No secrets."

"No secrets" you agreed, happy in each other's arms.
