Michael

I hopped out of the taxi cab, snow crashing from the sky. The weather took a turn to its worst. The cold air shivered down my back. I wandered up to the apartment door, clutching the bag of (what are now cold) muffins in my left hand. I pressed the buzzer, and heard a static noise go off

"Who is it?" A tired Gavin asked, sighing as he turned off his side.

I pressed the cold button "It's your best friend!"

"Mom?"

"No you idiot, It's Michael" I replied with a soft laugh.

"Aww bugger" I heard him laugh, opening the door on the other side.

I looked up at him, his hair facing all the directions it could. His eyes looked sleepy. He must have just gotten up. He smiled when he saw me. I could feel my cheeks get warm. His green eyes shimmering at me.

"Why didn't you just buzz me in?" I asked, trying to sound annoyed.

"It's broken again" He seemed sad, annoyed, or maybe just tired. I couldn't tell. I knew I just had to try and change his mood to the better. I walked up to him, making my chest brush against his, looking up at when I spoke.

"I got you your muffin" I smiled watching his mood change from having a bitter mood to being perky.

"So what are we still doing out here?" He grinned, moving out of the way, gesturing me to come inside.

I ran into his small apartment, giggling. I threw the muffins into the microwave to warm them up. Gavin sneaked up behind me. "Boo!" He whispered into my ear. I flinched, surprised he was there.

"Asshole." He smiled, hearing his new nickname. I turned to him, trying to seem pissed. His smile turned around.

"What's wrong Mi-cooooool?" He said looking at me. I loved how easily I can make him think im mad. I didn't reply, sighed a little, then spun around, so my back was to him.

"I'm sorry Mi-cool." He playfully poked my back.

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because I made you mad?"

I turned laughing. He sounded too cute when he was sorry. He pushed me when he figured out i was never mad.

"Now how the fuck does your microwave work?" I asked, frusterated by all the buttons. Gavin reached from behind me on his toes, brushing against my back. He easily pressed a few buttons and it started. He kept his body against mine, going down from his toes putting an arm over my shoulder. My face must have been so red. I turned to be looking up at him.

He looked at me before pulling me into a hug, his hands rubbing my back. I wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him closer. I could tell he was smiling.

He pulled away just enough so he could see my face. His eyes twinkled at me, gently placing his forehead against mine. Then he panicked, his face turning pale. I smiled, wondering why he was freaking out. He quickly pulled me away, just before pulling me away from the microwave faster.

I turned around to see a hot flame rising from the microwave. "FUCK." I screamed, jumping away from Gavin to get further away. Gavin looked scared, grabbing the fire extinguisher. The flame now hit the ceiling and was spreading against the roof. Gavin opened the valve, and twisted it open so the cold, soapy water could stop the flame. I stood there, grabbing onto the back of his shirt shaking, my face nuzzled against his back.

The fire went out. Gavin put the extinguisher onto the floor, watching the smoke rise but no flames. His whole wall and ceiling was now charred black. He was heavily breathing before noticing I was shivering behind him. "shhh" He whispered under his breath. He turned back to hold me, his hand messing with my hair playfully. I looked up at him, my eyes damp. He looked down at me before placing a soft kiss onto my forehead. I closed my eyes, enjoying his lips on me. My mind wandered, wondering if he liked me. This is the second time he has kissed me today. I'm not complaining though. He took his lips off me to pull be back into a hug.

I wish we could stay like this forever.
