Waiting for Mike (perrentes)✅

Chapter 6

I desperately ran my hands over my face, trying to reduce the appearance of my tears. I jogged downstairs and opened the door, looking down to hide my probably tear streaked face.
"Tone?" Mike greeted, "Are you okay? I heard the funeral was today,"
"Yeah, I'm okay I guess," I responded.
Mike stepped closer to me after a moment, tilting my chin up with his finger. In the gradually descending dusk, he could probably clearly see the glistening tear tracks on my face.
"You're not okay,are you?" He muttered sighing softly and keeping my chin tilted so I was looking at him.
My lip trembled and I shook my head, fighting back more tears welling in my eyes and failing miserably as the spilled over my bottom eyelashes.
Mike held his arms out and wrapped me in a warm hug on the porch. I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his shoulder, crying as quietly as possible, only making small sniffling sounds every now and then. Mike hugged me tighter which made me cry more until my throat was sore, my head ached and no more tears fell.
He eventually released me from his hold and I wiped away traces of my tears, before offering him a weak smile.
"Hey, um, Tone, do you maybe come back to mine and watch some movies? It might cheer you up a little," Mike offered, smiling softly and giving me butterflies.
I nodded and gave a small smile, causing him to smile in response as he led me next door to his house.
He took me up to his room and I saw Vic as we went upstairs through his doorway. He shot me a smile.
I sat on the bed while Mike set up the movie.
"I chose Breakfast Club, I hope that's okay," Mike asked, pressing play and joining me on the bed, spreading a blanket over the two of us. We spoke throughout the movie and for the first time in what felt like ages I was laughing. And it felt just like when we were best friends all those years ago.
As the movie continued, I felt more and more exhausted, both physically and emotionally. Slowly, I began slipping into sleep. I felt myself fall to rest on Mike's shoulder, before I fell asleep completely.
~Mike~
As the movie came to a close, I felt Tony lean against me and I noticed he was sleeping, his eyes shut and soft snores escaping his lips. I had to admit, he did look kind of cute.
As gently as I could, I lay him down on my bed and tucked the blanket over him. I felt so bad for him because he seemed so upset all the time nowadays.
I stroked his hair away from his eyes and removed his shoes so he would be more comfortable. He was still wearing his funeral suit from earlier, but the tie was loosened and the white dress shirt creased and coming untucked at the front. I smiled, before going downstairs to the couch, grabbing a blanket to sleep with. On my way downstairs, I met Vic.
"So you hanging out with Tony tonight?" He asked me, with a slight smile.
"Yeah," I said feeling a smile make its way onto my face of its own accord.
Vic just gave me another smile and continued upstairs.
I curled up on the couch and attempted to go to sleep.
