The Alternate Life

The Beauty Of Life-PART 1

"What movie do you want to watch, bae?" Asked Olive as he prepared the popcorn. Mikey was lying on the couch, cuddling with the pug Olive gave him for his birthday. Mikey literally screamed in joy when Olive brought him home, who's now named Bubba Baby. (Such a lame name, I know, Olive smacked his forehead when he heard). "Um... Spongebob Squarepants." Olive rolled his eyes his and laughed, his husband was so adorable. "OK, whatever. Where's the remote?". Mikey looked around and shrugged. "Oh, get up you idiot. I bet you're sitting on it." "I'm not getting up. I'm going to lie here cuddling with you for the rest of my life." Olive smiled. "Well, that works out perfectly then."

*RING RING! RING RING!* Mikey got up with a start. "Oh,"  he thought, "it's just the phone." Mikey got off the couch, and Olive jerked up because his head was on Mikey's shoulder. "Ugh, Mikey, your shoulder is so comfortable." Mikey kissed him on the nose. "Good morning sunshine. I'll make breakfast." Mikey picked up the phone on the way to the kitchen. "Hello?". "Mikey Kobaynsh,  why have you not been picking up the phone?!". Mikey almost dropped the phone. It was his dad. "DAD! I'm so sorry! How are you? I've missed you so much!".  "Mikey, I need to tell you something. Your mother passed away." Mikey looked back and Olive blew him a kiss. Mikey shook his head and started crying. He dropped the phone and collapsed into Olive's arms. "Um, I love having you in my arms, but why are you crying?". Classic Olive, always honest. "My Mom died..." Olive didn't know what to say. He and his Mom never had a good relationship, especially after he came out. "Um... it's alright." said Olive as he patted Mikey's head. Mikey got off his lap and hugged him. "I think I'm going to go into my room. I don't feel good." Mikey and Olive had separate rooms, since Olive and Mikey had so much stuff they couldn't possibly fit into one room. Their apartment was much too small for that, but they always slept together. On the couch. With Bubba Baby."No, come on Mikey. Lie on my lap." Mikey turned around and shook his head. "I said I don't feel good. Just leave me alone." But of course Olive could not leave Mikey alone. After awhile, when Mikey was asleep, Olive went and slept right next to him.

"Ugh! Olive! Get off my bed!" Mikey started shaking Olive, and he finally woke up. "Ah, have a good nap Mikey?". Mikey groaned. "Olive, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I seriously need some space. Gosh, just go lie on your own bed." Olive couldn't believe his ears. "Mikey, you are the only reason I'm alive. Now you need to get your life back. I'll get us tickets to see your Mom, but please just be yourself! You forgot to kiss me on the nose too!" Olive pouted and Mikey was just so overcome with Olive's love. What a charming idiot.

Olive needed Mikey back. He couldn't stand seeing his Mikey like this. Olive missed his smile and warm hugs, even though it had only been 4 hours. Bubba Baby walked in, and Olive could hear his stomach growl. "Oh, you poor baby! Did Mikey forget to give you breakfast? Did he? Did he?" Olive put Bubba Baby on his dog couch and got his bib for him to wear. Yes, Olive loved pugs.

Olive grabbed his laptop. He needed to get Mikey out of this depressing apartment. He really wanted to go somewhere, just the 2 of them. He finally decided on Paris, France: the city of love. Olive blushed, he seriously couldn't believe that an amazing guy like Mikey was married to him. He was just too lucky.

"Mmm... Mikey, wake up." Olive shook Mikey up, and he opened his eyes for the first time in 10 hours. "You need to start packing. I'm taking you to Paris." "Wait, what?!" "Mikey, come on, flight's tomorrow." Mikey shook his head in disbelief. "No no no no no no no no...... My Mom just died. Do you understand that? I asked you to leave me alone. I'm not going to Paris." Olive could feel his heart being stomped on. Why was Mikey so mad? "Mikey, I'm sorry about your Mom. But we can't just cuddle here for the rest of our life." Mikey grabbed Olive's face, and they were so close that they were nose-to-nose. " Ah, I would love to cuddle here for the rest of our life Olive." Olive pulled back and smiled. "I'd love to too. But you really need to get up and brush your teeth you gorilla." Mikey laughed and Olive knew that the old Mikey was back.

"Mikey, wake up. We need to get to the airport in 3 hours." Mikey had no intention whatsoever in waking up. "shhhh. come cuddle." Olive rolled his eyes and moved Mikey's head so they could look each other in the eye. "Mikey, I really want to cuddle. Really. But we have 10 hours to cuddle on the plane. Trust me and get up." Olive kissed him on the nose and Mikey felt a burst of energy go through his body. "OK, OK. I'll get dressed. I already packed last night." Olive helped Mikey wake up, and gave him a piggy back ride to the kitchen. "Eat your pancakes. I'll let our neighbors take care of Bubba Baby." When Olive left Mikey started stuffing big chunks of pancakes and he almost started to choke until Olive ran in and whacked his back, an effective method to get pancakes out before it reaches your neck. "MIKEY! ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU COULD'VE DIED!" Olive's eyes turned red and Mikey genuinely got scared, and almost started to cry until Olive gave him a tight hug. "I'm sorry about that Mikey, I was so close to losing you." Olive pulled back and gazed into Mikey's eyes, then smiled. "Come on. We need to get to the airport."

Mikey and Olive had a personal driver, and came whenever they called. They went outside and saw their beautiful silver Ferrari, which Olive bought. He fanboyed a lot when he saw it, and he paid a pretty big price for it. Mikey and Olive got in the back, and Olive put his head on Mikey's shoulder. Their driver was used to them doing that, and he drove on.

Mikey and Olive grabbed their backpack and climbed into the plane. Mikey was very cheap, he only wanted regular tickets, not first class. They walked in and found their seat, next to a ginger and a dark haired girl who looked their age. Immediately when the ginger saw Olive and Mikey she screamed in joy and started slapping the dark haired girl who was reading a book. She looked up and screamed and the two girls started slapping each other and losing their breath. Olive got really scared, he didn't like girls. He sat next to the dark haired one (whose name was Sara and the ginger was Emma). "Um, do I know you?"asked Olive. Sara jumped in her seat and nodded her head. "We're foreign exchange students and Emma has to do a report on Paris's culture and I have to do one on their food. Obviously." Mikey and Olive looked at each other and Olive grabbed his hand, and immediately Emma screamed. "OK, what's wrong?" asked Mikey. Emma looked him in the eyes, and said "we went to school together. All 4 of us. We saw you two flirting one day and we shipped you guys and wrote fan fictions and fangirled a lot. Ummmmm, we always wondered about your life and Sara here thought you two were dead." Sara smiled and and Olive got really scared. Fan fictions? Had they been stalking Mikey and their relationship? God, this is why Olive was so scared of girls. Olive looked at Mikey, giving him the scared puppy dog face. Mikey smiled and kissed him, ignoring Emma and Sara's fangirling.

Mikey woke up. It was now nighttime, they had one more hour until they reached. He looked at Olive, who was sound asleep. Without Olive, he probably would've gone through depression because of his dumb dad, telling him his mom was dead right in the morning. Mikey stroked Olive's hair, and saw the red broken cross that was heated onto his forehead when Ducile Trumpet was president. Mikey didn't care if Olive was Muslim, that was his religion. Mikey was Buddhist, and they never allowed religion to come in between their relationship. He looked at Sara and Emma, who were already staring at Mikey stroke Olive's hair. Mikey smiled, some people never change.

Olive got up. Just 30 more minutes until they landed. Olive looked at the girls, and saw a bunch of magazine clippings on their seat. Olive was bewildered, did these two live on a plane? Olive got his journal out of his backpack and started looking through all the pages. He made a list of all the most romantic places in Paris. Mikey got up from his slumber and kissed Olive on the nose. Mikey would always do that when he woke up, it would fill him up with energy. Mikey grabbed a blanket out of his duffel bag and wrapped it around them both, since Olive did promise that they would cuddle on the plane.

"Oh, what a nice hotel. Olive, I bet it was expensive." Olive smiled and put his arm around Mikey, and Olive knew that Mikey could not resist that. "Oh, Mikey calm down. This was for you and me, and in this trip you shouldn't worry at all. Go take a nap, I have something planned."  Mikey was speechless, he knew that Olive wasn't rich. I mean, he was pretty dumb. Oh well. Mikey laid his head on the pillow, (which literally felt like it was made in heaven) and 2 seconds later Olive came. He kissed Mikey on the cheek , and immediately Mikey fell asleep.
