My Missing Piece (A Mavin Fan Fiction)

The Talk Isn't Actually A Big Thing

It's been about four days since the shark incident. We safely flew back to Austin and Geoff gave us a couple extra days off to relax. Gavin's gotten used to using crutches, but the doctor here gave us a wheelchair just in case he gets a bit lightheaded. Speaking of Gavin, he was in the bath right now, having to put his leg in a trash bag to keep the cast from getting wet. I was in the living room, watching It's Always Sunny, listening closely, just in case Gavin needed any help. My phone started ringing, making me jump. I growled and answered it, "Hello?" "Hey, Michael. How's Gavin doing?" "Oh hey Linds. He's doing a lot better. We're probably coming back in tomorrow." "That's great." "Yeah. So how come you called?" "Oh. Sorry, I was just going to ask if you two wanted to come out to eat with me and meet my new boyfriend." "I uh- I'll have to ask Gavin. I'll call you back in a minute, okay?" "Sure, yeah." I hung up and tossed my phone beside me on the couch.

"Micoo, can you come here?" Gavin called out. I stood up and walked into the bathroom. I helped him out and let him dry off and get dressed. I handed him his crutches and walked with him back into the living room. "Want anything before I sit down?" I asked, leaning on the back of the couch. Gavin shook his head no so I sat down beside him. "Hey uh- Lindsay wanted us to go out to eat with her and her new boyfriend tonight. I'm waiting to say something until I get an answer from you." I rested my hands in my lap and looked at him. He shrugged, "If you're okay with it because of um- y'know." I nodded, "I'll tell her sure then." Gavin smiled as I got out my phone. I dialed Lindsay's number and waited until she picked up. "Hey Michael!" "Hey Linds. Gavin said he didn't mind going." "Oh that's great. Dress fancy. We can pick you guys up around seven?" "Yeah sounds good." "See ya then!" "Bye." I hung up and say my phone on the coffee table. "What time?" Gavin asked. "Seven." He looked at his watch, "It's six now." "I'll pick out your clothes." Gavin smiled. I stood up and walked into our bedroom.

Gavin changed into the light blue button-up and black dress pants I picked out for him. I changed into a white button-up along with black dress pants. I managed to detangle my hair and put in my contacts. I took out my black shoes and gave Gavin his, noting he only needed the right shoe since his other foot was in a cast. "You'll be okay with the crutches?" I asked, stuffing my phone in my back pocket. Gavin nodded and pulled himself up, holding the crutches tight. There was a knock at the door and I opened it to see Lindsay. Her hair, which was now a pretty light pink, was curled and she had on a dark blue dress. Might I add, she looked beautiful. "Hey Michael." "Hi Linds." "Glad to see you're walking, Gav." Gavin politely smiled at her. "Ready to head out?" "Yeah let's go. I'm starving!" I added as I locked the house and followed Lindsay to her car. Her new boyfriend was standing by the passenger's side door. He stuck a hand out for me to shake. "Nice to finally meet you, Michael. I'm Josh." "Nice to meet you too, Josh." He looked to be about six foot two inches, very muscular, with jet black hair and a bit of stubble on his chin. I could tell why Lindsay would pick him. Josh opened the door for Lindsay and shut it after she got in. I opened the door for Gavin and helped him in before I got in myself.

"So Josh. What do you do for work?" I tried to make small talk with the guy. Josh sat his fork down and patted his mouth with his napkin. "I'm a lawyer." Of course he was. Lindsay placed her hands on the table and excused herself, "I'll be right back." Gavin pointed to my steak, "How is it?" I shrugged, "Pretty good." Josh got occupied talking to the waitress about getting a bottle of wine for us. "Can I try it?" Gavin asked, tilting his head like a puppy. I cut a piece of the steak, dipped it in the sauce and handed the fork to Gavin. He ate the piece of steak and nodded, "That is good." I chuckled. "Does she prefer red or white wine?" Josh asked us. "Linds likes red wine," I answered for him. He nodded and looked up at the waitress, who had already wrote it down and was about to walk away to go get it. Lindsay came back and sat down in her seat again. "I'm surprised you guys didn't tear up the place while I was gone," she joked. I shrugged, "Gavin almost flipped the table." He looked at me with wide eyes, "I did not!" Lindsay started laughing, but Josh kept a straight face. I rubbed Gavin's back, "I was kidding, boi."

After we got the wine, not much happened. Lindsay, Gavin, and I drank a couple glasses while Josh only had one glass. At least he was a responsible drinker. We all got in Lindsay's car and they dropped Gavin and I off at our house. I helped Gavin into his pajamas before getting into my own. "How late do you want to stay up?" I asked, sitting beside him on the bed. "I'm actually really tired now," Gavin replied, stretching out that last word because of a yawn. I took his crutches and sat them next to his side of the bed. He pushed himself back towards the pillows and pulled the covers over himself. I shut off the lights and carefully made my way back to my side of the bed. I plugged in my phone and pulled the covers over myself. Gavin laid on his back so I sloppily tossed my arm over him stomach. "Hey Micoo?" Gavin's voice filled the silent room. "Yeah?" I rolled onto my side, my arm still resting on his stomach. "Would we ever have kids?" I was a bit thrown back by his question. Of course I wanted kids. I just didn't know when would be best. "I've always wanted to, but we just got married and everything, Gavvy," I answered. I heard him let out a breath, "Well of course we wouldn't have them now. I just meant in the future." "Well then yeah. I've always wanted kids." Gavin placed his hand on mine, "I love you." "I love you, too."
