Just Between Us (Gay!Michael)

Chapter Three: Just Hold Me

Michael's POV

Can I really go back after last time?

Michael was walking back to the bus, shame coursing through him like acid. He had abandoned his friends, who needed him for a meeting, for a boy he had just met.

He opened the door slowly to see the band eating dinner, his stomach fell when they all looked at him. Luke muttered "How was your boyfriend?" the air in the bus cold as the arctics.

Michael blushed and set his things down, "He's not my boyfriend! We haven't even kissed.." His eyes not finding his friends. They started murmuring "I wonder if Oli can take dick, Michael's packing quit-" Michael whipped around and snapped "You will not talk about Oli like that! You don't know him, you guys aren't blessed enough to!" Michael turned around and stormed to the bunks to sleep.

Michael slept soundly, until he got a phone call. "M-Michael.. Could you m-meet me, under the-the bridge..?" His heart racing when he thought about all the possibilities..

Oli stood under the bridge, playing with the sleeves of his sweater. He looked up at the stars, he couldn't believe that he was so invested in someone he had met only days ago. Michael made him feel like he had never felt. His hear raced whenever he thought about Michael, his cheeks always heated up. Even with a heavily beaten face, he still felt on top of the world when he imagined being with Michael.

His heart stopped when he saw Michael slide down the rock tumble, Oli instantly ran over and tackled him in a hug. "Michael, just hold me.." Oli whispered to the white haired boy. Michael was shocked at first, but wrapped his arms around him. "What's come over you?" Rubbing Oli's back softly as his heart raced, Oli could hear it rapidly increase. He felt nervous to show Michael his face, but he lifted his head and looked into Michael's eyes.

Michael gasped when he saw Oli's face, there was crusted dry blood, bruised cheek and his eyes were black. He whispered "What happened..?" Oli looked away, his lips parting to say "My dad think's im gay.. He hates that we're meeting up."

Michael blinked and smiled "And.. that's abnormal? It's okay if you're gay!". Oli looked away "He's so homophobic, he's also an abusive jerk who got my mother deported! I have to sneak around to avoid him, he's not even my real dad.. He hates me and so does everyone!"

Oli felt Michael's grip on him tighten, he looked up to see Michael smiling. He furrowed his thick eyebrows "Why are you smiling at me? I-I'm in pain.." his voice shaking. Michael murmured "Because even if we just met, I sense something about you.. I want to protect you.. I can tell you're someone worth protecting.."

His grip on Michael's arms tightened, he hated feeling weak and vulnerable. "You haven't left my mind since I met you Oli.."

Oli was in shock, he looked down and fumbled around for words. Had he really improved someones life? "I-I never cause anything good in someone's life! Usually everyone wants me to leave, affection is a foreign concept to me, and i've never been kisse-" He was cut off by Michael grabbed his face and pressed their lips together. Oli stood there for a few moments as Michael kissed him passionately, his lips moving together. After a few moments, Oli grabbed Michael's face and kissed back.

Suddenly, Oli pulled back. "M-Michael... I can't let you into my life.. You can't make me care, and then just check out! Everyone does this to me, I can't do this with you.."

Michael smiled and kissed him again, leaving rapid and small pecks on his lips. "I told you, you're worth protecting.. You're my first gay kiss" He teased. Michael slowly started to kiss his jaw, then his neck. Oli let out a little whimper and pulled away. He started to slowly lift his sweater, causing Michael to step away "Whoa... I don't know how comfortable I am with gay sex yet!"

Oli shoved him lightly and grabbed Michael's hand, placing it over his heart. "Here, I have a tattoo that I've told nobody about." Michael stepped back to see a heart that was black. Oli then started to shake, putting his sweater back on. "Consider yourself lucky, Ghostie.. You're getting the VIP package.."

Michael looked away in shame, "Shut up, I'm punk rock.." he mumbled under his breath. Causing Oli to burst into laughter, Michael's eyes widened when he saw Oli smile.. It was beautiful, seeing his bright grin, he looked like an angel.

"You think i'm adorable don't you?" Oli rolled his eyes and pulled Michael close. "Well, I think I am pretty punk rock too, Ghostie.." Pulling him into a rough and sloppy kiss, completely taking charge. His hand slowly sliding onto Michael's thigh as he pushed him onto a rock, "Right now, you're mine.." He murmured before climbing onto Michael, the two engaging in passionate kissing for the rest of the night.

hi, guys! Susy's here!

We thought about adding a bit of happiness and love to those last chapters (we are not bad people, I swear). We also wanted to clear out the fact that Oli is such a vulnerable and weak character who will definitely feel hormones and accept Michael's affection - He's messed up, he's just needy for love so I hope you understand his situation!!!
