Different (a MIKA fanfic)

Just relax

Come back tomorrow? He wants me to come back and hang out for longer that he was meant to.

"Tomorrow?" I questioned in disbelief.

"Yeah!" MIKA responded, his brown eyes showing joy.

The man left us alone again in I sighed "how did I get so lucky to be coming back tomorrow to see MIKA again?" I said to myself.

MIKA said nothing. He just looked into my eyes. After a minute he spoke quietly "your eyes. I could look into them all day". I could feel myself blush a little. He knew I liked him. I was a fan so of course I liked him but he was here with me now looking right back at me with as much amazement in his eyes as I felt for him.

I looked down and he stepped closer and hugged me. I gripped into him gently, not wanting I hurt him.

After a while I whispered into his ear as my face was so close to his. "Are we going to record something?"

He didn't move for a minute but I could hear him sigh quietly as he just took my hand gently and lead me back to where the microphones where set up. He let go of my hand and moved my stall closer to the piano before guiding me to it by my shoulders and sitting me down. He then sat at the piano and told me that he had some ideas for a song.

I tried to keep my breathing calm. He had just held my hand. I was feeling dizzy from how happy I was and my heart was about to jump out of my chest and run away.

He played soft tune on the piano with his right hand before playing something along side it with the left. I watched his fingers and managed to work out what chords he was playing so I could join in.

We just sat and played. We didn't need words in that moment.

I could see his eyes watching me closely as he stopped playing. "Ross, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that you should answer that question first!" I grinned at how I turned the question back on him. I wanted to hear his answer first because I was thinking about him. How much I liked him and being with him. I was too scared to say it.

"Ok... I'm thinking that... you're really... good at guitar and your voice is so... perfect... Your hugs are warm and make me feel safe and I..."

"MIKA," I cut him off " I like you a lot... and that is what I was thinking. You're amazing at piano, your voice gives me a warm feeling inside and your hugs... Well your hugs are just...magical."

He looked down and then backup at me while I just sat amazed at what I had just said and curious as to how he would respond. It just came out. I had no control over it.

"We're gonna shut down now guys but you can stay as long as you let Ross' mums know and you lock up after."

I turned to see the short man back at the door. I wanted to stay here with MIKA forever. I looked at my phone and checked the time. "21:16" I said looking at MIKA who hadn't spoke since I interrupted him.

"I would like to stay for a bit. How about you?" I asked him

"Yeah. We can be a bit more relaxed if we stay for longer cause we will have more time... and Ross, I'll ring you mum if you want and you can maybe come stay at my house tonight so that we can come back here together in the morning... If you want though." He spoke nervously and looked at me with hopeful eyes. I nodded, amazing and handed him my phone before going and collecting the keys from the man at the door.
