"Carly, Michael is here!" I heard my mom shout from downstairs and a door slam.
My heart started to race as I heard him jogging up the stairs. I quickly pulled down my sleeves, tossing my blade under my bed in a box.
I looked up and my door swung open to see a very happy Michael looking down at me.
"Gee, bother to knock?" I chuckled lightly.
"Oh, sorry." He blushed, walking out of my room, closing the door behind him then knocking.
"Come in." I laughed.

"What did Michael want?" My mom asked, putting the last dish into the dishwasher.
"Nothing really.. He just wanted to play a new video game. I got bored, so he left." I looked out the window, watching the rain pour and the sky turn grey.
"Alright. How are you guys doing? Are you still getting along fine?"
"Yeah. Can I have Kendall over tomorrow? She's supposed to help me with homework, even though we'll probably just end up watching Netflix." I asked, mumbling the last part.
"Sure... I haven't seen her in a long time. I actually haven't seen anyone besides Michael.. did you just decide to stop doing things with your friends? You used to do stuff all of the time."
"Yeah well I guess I just didn't feel like doing stuff. I'm going upstairs," I rambled, "don't bother me."
I walked back up my stairs and into my room, lightly shutting my door.
I grabbed my phone from my nightstand and texted Kendall asking her if she wanted to come over. At first she said she couldn't, because she was going over to someone else's house. 25 minutes later, she texted back that they just bailed on her so she would.

Five minutes later, I heard a knock downstairs. Since Michael only lives a block away, I knew I was him.
"Come in!"

"What movie do you want to watch next?" Michael yawned, shaking my thigh. "Carly."
Snapping out of whatever I was in, I stuttered. "Oh, huh? Sorry. Wasn't listening."
"Come on Carly , thats like the third time you weren't paying attention to me. Which movie?"
"I'm really tired and its-" I check my phone. "12:46."
We were laying in my bed, well, I was. Michael was in front of my TV trying to get my remote to enter Netflix.
"I just really want to watch this. You gotta see it.. Its super scary. It'll for sure keep you awake.."
"Fuck no. I don't want nightmares. Just pick something happy..."
"Do you want to watch skins then? I know you really like that show. Since you never shut up about it." He stretched his arms above his head, yawning. When I saw his shirt go up, I could see his V-line. All of these thoughts came into my head and I got butterflies. Maybe it's just because i'm tired but boy...
"What? Y-yeah.. just play that.. I left off in season two because i'm re-watching it again."
He pressed select on the remote and the screen lit up. All I could think was how hot my best friend is when he's tired.
"Uhm Michael, your ass is blocking my view.."
"You know you like it." He winked at me. And yeah, I thought, thats the problem.
"Shut up and come lay down. I'm cold." Waiting for Michael to get the fuck back over to my bed, I snuggled up in my blankets and shut my eyes to the theme song of skins.
Trading my blankets for Michael, I fell asleep.
