My Missing Piece (A Mavin Fan Fiction)

Tear In My Heart

Gavin and I just decided to stop by the kitchen in the office and steal someone's snacks. We were leaning on the counter now, eating some potato chips. Barbara walked up to us snacking on a sandwich. "Hey guys! I didn't know you were back," She leaned on the counter next to Gavin. "We just got back last night, actually," I explained to her. She nodded slowly, taking in the information, "What all did you do?" Gavin cleared his throat to talk, "We flew over to Orlando and went to Universal for like a day and then drove down to Miami and had a beach day." Barbara, who was chewing a bite of her sandwich, nodded her head excitedly, "That sounds like fun!" "Yeah, it really was," I smiled, not really smiling at anyone so much as the memory. "Did you even wear sunscreen, Michael? You look really red," She pointed out. I shook my head, "We got so excited that we forgot." Burnie appeared in the hall looking really baffled about something, "Hey Babs, can you come here for a second?" Barbara nodded and finished her sandwich, "One second!" She turned to Gavin and I and jokingly saluted, "See ya later guys." We waved to her as she walked off with Burnie, probably to his office to check something.

We all went back to the office after eating, really after I snatched a Red Bull from the fridge. We started to film a bunch of random things that we could use to upload later on in the week. Geoff had to leave early because he was going on some sort of trip with his family. "So can we all go now or do you have to stay?" Ryan asked to no one in particular. "I think we're gonna head out," Gavin spoke up. I looked up at him as he started to stand. "Yeah I think I'm gonna go too," Jeremy let out a yawn. Gavin and I waved to everyone as we started to walk out of the office. We walked out to my car and I drove off towards our house. When we got home, we immediately changed into pajamas and relaxed on the couch. "What are we going to do for dinner?" I asked, breaking the silence of conversation. "I could make something or we could order in?" I thought about it for a second. If we ordered something, it would either be Chinese or pizza and I'm kind of tired of those. "Do you mind making something?" I gave him my best 'puppy-dog' face. Gavin started to get off the couch and into the kitchen. I took that as a yes.

Gavin had been cooking for an hour now and I decided I should walk in a check on him. He was bent over the stove, stirring something in the pot. I wrapped my arms around his waist from behind and rested my head on his right shoulder. "Hey," Gavin greeted me, swaying us both a bit. "Whatcha making?" I asked. "Just some pasta recipe my mum taught me," he answered before turning off the burner and moving the pot to on the burners that were already off. Gavin turned around in my arms and wrapped his arms around my neck. We pressed our foreheads together. "I think we should adopt," I blurted out. Gavin pulled me a little closer, "Let's give it a while, Micoo. We just got married, I just got my cast off, and y-" I pressed my lips against his to hush him. "Gavin, I know. I didn't say now, did I? I'm just saying I think you and I would make great dads." He smiled and mouthed 'Oh.' "I'm gonna go get washed up while you finish up here, okay?" I noted. Gavin nodded and I kissed his forehead. We let each other go and I walked off to the bathroom.

I shut the door behind me and walked over to the mirror. I stared at myself for a minute. I've changed so much since I first moved here years ago. My face was pink from getting sunburned and my freckles were darker. My eyes were a lighter shade of brown somehow and my eyes looked more sunken into my face than before. My hair got longer, too. I need to get it cut. I didn't look like myself right now. I looked down at my hands. They honestly looked so much more fragile, like they could snap if I hit them on something. I just looked skinnier in general. How was Gavin still attracted to me? A knock on the door made me jump and knock something off the counter. "Are you okay in there?" Hearing Gavin's voice made me calm down a bit. "Yeah. I'll be out in a minute," I called out to him. I think I heard him mutter 'okay' and walk off. I picked up whatever I knocked over, which was the soap, and walked out of the bathroom. Gavin was putting out plates on the table as I walked up to him. "Oh hey. Dinner's ready," He said, sitting down. I sat down across from him and we both started eating.

I helped Gavin clean the dishes after we finished eating. "How about we watch a movie?" Gavin suggested, leading me over to the couch, "We could watch the new Marvel movie again." "We've seen that movie eight times, Gav," I jokingly rolled my eyes. Gavin shrugged and sat down on the couch. I sat down in his lap, "Let's watch a scary movie." Gavin let out a whine. I knew he didn't like scary movies, but I loved when he got scared and cuddled up against me. I turned on the movie and rented a scary movie, not even paying attention to what it was. Gavin and I started watching it. It was some movie about this school who had someone murdered there and was now haunted. Then some stupid teenagers decided to go back to the school at night and mess with the ghost because they didn't believe the school was actually haunted. The ghost popped up on the screen and Gavin jumped up and wrapped his arms around me, burying his face in my neck. I smiled and placed my hands over his.
