Mikeys outfit top/side, bc he's a kitty:))
I watch longingly as Michael disappears into his bedroom, and feel as his dad waits patiently until he's out of ear shot before turning around and beginning to talk to us in a hushed voice.
"Now listen boys, you seem like nice lads and I'm sure you are- but you've got to understand this," he stops a moment and scratches his neck and I feel an anxious pull in my stomach. "Michael isn't your normal boy- you know that. He gets anxious and worried and panicked and he's going to want to keep up with you guys because he's that kind of boy, but he can't- and he's not going to say no or stick up for himself because he's to scared he's being rude, so you're just going to have his back; and I'll tell you this now, any funny business, michael has a lot of cousins that care big time for him, and none of them will hesitate to whop your punk asses, got it?" He asks sternly and we nod.
He's so damn protective over his son and I can only wonder where his mum is. I decide not to ask just yet, I don't want to say the wrong thing this early into the relationship.
"Do any of you smoke?" We all shake our heads; I think it's foul, personally. "Drink?" We all fault he notices. "That's fine, just be responsible." He instructs and we nod. "And if I find out any of you do drugs or make MIKEY do drugs I will not redufuse to tell you parents and beat the shit out of you,"
"D-Dad!" Michael yells, his cheeks bright pink as he catches his dad in action.
Mr. Clifford holds his hands up in defence before winking at us and clearing the room, leaving us four boys alone. And I can't remove my eyes from the pink haired boy.
He's wearing long black jeans, several rips running down the legs, revealing his smooth skin, and a thin, blue and white sweater hanging off his thin shoulders.
His hair is messy, his hands play cutely with his earring and he watches me as I watch him.
He has a shy smile on his pink lips and I can feel ashton and Calum watching me, smiles on their faces.
I snap to reality, my cheeks reddening, and I stand up.
"Shall we.. Uhh, shall we go?" I let out a shaky breath and already begin to walk out before I do anything else embarrassing, and letting my cheeks cool as I step out into the cool spring air.
I check my phone to see its just hit four o clock, and the sun is already getting lower; though only a month ago it would have been set by now.
"H-How are w-we getting t-there?" Michael asks, finally speaking up.
"We'll drive, my cars just there," Ashton gestures to his car and Michael looks surprised. "I got my license a couple months ago, it was my 16th," he smiles and Michael just nods, walking over to Ashton's old car.
Ashton and Cal hop in the front and I open the door for Michael, he stutters a Thankyou before I climb in the other side.
The car starts to drive towards the arcade and we all remain in awkward silence until calum switches on the radio, booming All Time Low; Michaels head snaps up and he smiles. Just breifly.
"Do you like them?" I ask curiously, and he just nods quickly, almost too eagerly.
He slides his phone out of his butt pocket and switches it on- his back ground is him, maybe at 12 years old, and it's him standing next to Jack Barakat.
My jaw drops.
Plus fetus Michael was the cutest little shit ever.
He just giggles shyly, looking down cautiously at his lap.
"Oh my god!" I basically squeal before throwing my self at him, baring in mind the seat belt around my lap, so my head kind of just leans into his waist.
"What? What?" Calum turns around frantic and I take Michaels phone out of his hand and shove it in Calum's face. His reaction is the same as mine, he then shows ashton when we stop at a red light and he squeals too.
"WHAT EVEN" he shouts and we all laugh, I hand Michael his phone back delicately and he takes it, his hand brushing mine just for a moment and our eyes lock.
His green, crystal green eyes looking into my blue ones and for a moment all the traffic and cars going past stop, he music which was once booming is now dulled as I look at him. He makes everything stop; just for a moment.

"I so won that! How?" I yell, throwing my arms up in the air as michael beats me at ski ball. Again.
He giggles and I giggle too and it's a good moment for both of us.
"N-no you didn't!" He argues, his voice struggling to sound fierce, he's so damn cute I can't.
I begin to walk away and I feel as he grabs my arm and pulls me back to him.
Either he suddenly has a good arm or I'm just light weight, but as he does it it pulls me hard and it leaves us with only a few centimetres between our faces. My breath hitches in my throat and I hear it's the same for him. Suddenly my mouth is dry and I can't find words or the strength to pull myself away because this is all I want.
And most people would call me pathetic because I haven't even known him for a week, I don't even know his last name, but somehow there's this attraction to him and I can't deny it or do anything about it because somehow I don't want to.
I lick my dry lips and his eyes follow my tongue. I blush.
It feels like eternity I look into his eyes and I wouldn't have looked away if someone hadn't of cleared their throat.
We step away from each other only to reveal Ashton and Calum grinning at us, I roll my eyes, struggling to contain my blush and catch my breath.
"Our tables ready," Calum says, looking between us one more time before walking away, ashton by his side leaving us two again.
For a moment, as we stand in silence, I can feel the tension between us, and I want to re live the moment again.
Maybe one day, I think, maybe one day it will happen, with not interruptions; our lips will touch and we will kiss and it will be everything I've ever wanted.
One day, I tell myself, one day.
