Different (a MIKA fanfic)

Shirts

We sat on our colourful stalls surrounded by rainbows and looked out to everyone who was watching is intently while we figured out what exactly to say.

" so guys...I...we...we have something to tell you." MIKA showed his nerves for the first time that night while he was just trying to form sentences. He had told me that he was nervous but as soon as he was on stage, his nerves were left in the wings while he danced around with not a care in the world.

" what we are about to tell you, you have most likely already figured out since we haven't exactly been hiding it." I chuckled

"Well no we haven't even tried to hide it because we knew that we were going to tell you anyway" he mumbled but it was just load enough so that the mic would pick him up.

"Let's get to the point shall we?" I held his hand tightly to remind him that I was there to support him 100% of the way.

"Ross can you tell them please" MIKA whispered into my ear because I had takes out my earpieces a while before when we had taken a 'water break'.

I nodded and pulled him close to wrap my arm around him. " so everyone are you ready for this? We, MIKA and I, are dating!"

MIKA looked up cautiously and watched for the reaction. This presented itself as a collective 'aw'.

"We have written a few songs together and we would like to perform one for you now." I beamed after the majority of the crowd had calmed down.

I stood up, picked up my guitar and got ready to sing again while MIKA got ready at his piano.

He started to play and once he pressed the first key, we were alone again, in our own world where nothing could bother us and the world was peaceful( and full of bright colours and sparkles obviously. This is MIKA we are talking about here).

"Together because we're different" we sang the last words with a beautiful harmony that wasn't really planned but we turned to look at each other and it just happened.

The second we stopped singing, we were snapped out of our dreamland and yanked viciously back into reality by the loudest cheers that I have ever heard. They were screaming and clapping and making as much noise as humanly possible. It was arguably the best moment of my life because it was cheering for me and the only one I loved in the world. We stood holding tightly into one another in awe.

Finally the noise was becoming less so we did our bows with the band and exited the stage back to our dressing room to calm down and pack up for the night.

"Wow baby. That could not have gone any better! Well done. You're a natural!" MIKA told me once we were in our dressing room and he had closed the door.

"Thanks. You too!" I couldn't help but giggle as he kissed me gently and we looked into each other's eyes. His beautiful brown eyes sparked with love and pride.
(A/N this next part might seem a little strange but it makes a point that I wanted to make so yeah.)
"Now we have the money, the next stage is the appointments!" He grinned. As he pulled my blazer off me delicately.

He quickly locked the door and we took our shirts off to get changed back into our clothes that we wore before the concert.

" why did you lock the door? We're not doing anything strange?" I asked even though I knew the answer.

"Because I thought that you might not want anyone to walk in when you are only wearing your binder. I know that you are comfortable with me seeing it because I know but not many other people do." The look on his face became more concerned and confused. " I can unlock it if you want I just thought..."

"No leave it locked" I pulled his wrist so that he wouldn't go and unlock the door because he was absolutely right. I just wanted to mess with him but also make a point to him. " you're such a good boyfriend. I was joking but I also wanted to point out to you that I won't have to wear my binder soon thanks to you!" I pulled him to face me and picked his chest gently when I said 'you'.

"Oh I see" he laughed " that is so exciting! I can't wait to see your chest... That sounded creepy but you know what I mean!" We laughed together and sat on the couch after we were changed.

We talked for a while about what would be happening on Saturday. I couldn't wait to compare me now to me in a few months when I am on testosterone. I'm so happy that MIKA is here by my side to witness this with me. I wouldn't have done any of this without him here to love me and push me to reach my goals.

He was the motivation that I never had in my life before until it him...
