The Way It Is (A Pierce the Veil Fanfic) *EDITING*

Chapter 10 - Perfect

~~Mike's POV~~

Once everything was put away, we left the building. We usually all go do our own thing after practice, so I won't have to come up with a lie to get away from them.

Okay, that sounds bad. It's not.

I promise.

We are walking into the parking garage together, Jaime and Vic are holding hands and I have my fingers laced through Tony's. We get to Tony's car first, all turning to him saying our goodbyes and I love you's. I place a small kiss on his cheek before dropping his hand and heading the direction of my car.

I reach for the door handle when-

"Are we going to see you at home?" I heard Jaime call.

Shit. So close.

"Uh... Not right away. I'll see you later though!" I yell back. Well, that was vague. Hopefully that didn't sound suspicious.

"Oh... Alright! Love you! See ya later, giraffe!" He calls once more. I sigh lightly in relief. That was fucking close.

"Love you, Mikey! Drive safe! See you!" Vic yells, his voice echoing slightly in the large, open, cement area.

"Love you, hedgehog! Love you, Viccy! Later!" I barely get out before I jump into the car and slam the door, letting out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

I put the key in the ignition, bringing the car to life. The sweet sounds of Panic! At the Disco's 'The Good, The Bad and The Dirty' flooding my ears. I buckle up, pulling out of the parking garage, starting my short journey to... Well... To deal with something.

Alright alright, I know. "Enough with the teasing, Mike! What the fuck are you up to?!"

Well, I'm not telling you. Not yet. You'll see when we get there. Be patient!

All you need to know right now is that it isn't anything bad!

...I wouldn't do that.

Why would I throw away what I have? I have everything I could possibly ask for. I have the best boyfriends in the universe, you can personally fight me if you disagree, and I have the best job ever. I literally get paid to bang around on some drums and I have not one, not two, but three gorgeous men who love me. I mean, what?

What even is my life? It's like a god damn fairy tale.

But I digress. Back to the point, considering we're here.

I've been thinking about doing this for a while. And it will change everything.

Honestly, I'm fucking terrified. I can't guarantee that it will change things for the better. I'll never know if I don't try though.

I park the car, getting out and walking up to the large glass door.

I take a breath and dive in.

The scent of glass cleaner mixed with some kind of cologne hit my nose and it's slightly abrasive. I look around the room, gaping a little at the way the whole room sparkles.

"Good afternoon, sir. Are you looking for something specific? Perhaps, I could be of assistance?" A man in a black suit asks as he approaches me. He has blonde hair and his name tag says 'Henry'.

I suddenly become self conscious, feeling very out of place, under dressed, and well... just a bit insane. I clear my throat which feels a little dry.

Fuck, if I'm nervous now, I can't even imagine how I'll feel tomorrow.

"Uh... Yeah, actually. I'm looking for engagement bands... like... for men." I rub the back of my neck and try to keep my voice strong, as to not show my nerves, but I know I failed when Henry chuckles lightly.
