Bromance In The band

Chapter 10

Bens POV

I'm sitting outside michael's bedroom door, well, our bedroom door, trying to get him to answer me. He's still crying after what feels like hours but he won't let me in and to be honest it's killing me. Dan hovers above me muttering stuff through the door to Michael about 'its all going to be okay'. George is nowhere to be seen. Just as well, I punched the hell out of him after what he said about Michael. We definitely need a new manager now, he is so evil! it's not his problem if mike Is gay! it's mikes choice and George should accept it, instead of doing things the way he did.
I turn to the door again. "Mike please..." I hear shuffling noises then a loud sob. Thought i'd got lucky but apparently not. "You know I don't judge you." I try with a sigh.
"Yeah he definitely doesn't mike I can assure you. Neither do i" dan chips in trying to reassure him.
Suddenly the door swings open, making me fall backwards into the floor. I look up to see a beautiful pair of tear stained brown eyes looking down at me from above, like an angel. "I'm sorry" he says apologetically.
"Don't be. I'm fine" I giggle. I stop myself. This issue isn't over yet and George has got worse coming for him. When I tell management what he's been saying I hope they fire him. Or I will do something about it. It's not right how he treated Michael.
I get up and look at Michael who was still crying a little. I reach out my hand and wipe his tears. He blushes and moves his head a little in shame. "Don't be ashamed, you needed to have a little cry baby"
"Baby?" he asks. Now it's my turn to blush; I didn't mean to let that slip out of my mouth, but oh well.
"Yeah" I say with a smile. I grab his hand and lead him into the lounge as dan follows us in. Me and mike take up our usual seats in the couch but today he's not so close. He doesn't lean on me or cuddle me, he just sits up straight on one side of the couch.
"Mike we need to talk about what's happened" I say. He turns to look at me.
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything. from how you found out you were gay until now." I say. He looks at me with sad eyes and sighs. "Here goes"
"Remember that time we were on the tour bus and we shared a bunk because yours was full of equipment?" I nod. "Well, that night I realised I like you,at least as more than a friend. I don't know how I figured that but I did. And anyway, after that every single thing you did made me fall for you even more. And I couldn't help it. No matter how hard i tried, I couldn't like girls." He pauses and sheds a tear. I grab his hand and squeeze it as he smiles a bit and breathes.
"So I told George....and he didn't take it very well. He said that I was to stay away from you. That I wasn't allowed to like you, for 'the bands image'. But I could tell that he didn't like it either. He spat out hate all the time to me if he saw me and you get close. But after a while it became way too hard to stay away from you. You were my happiness. Just being around you would lift my mood. And for some reason I thought that you might like me back. It was a crazy thought, I kicked myself for thinking it, but then that one night with the thunder storm...i got so scared and you were being so nice to me I just couldn't help it. I told you I lived you and I meant it, even if you didn't when you said it back. And then that night I heard a noise in the kitchen and I got scared so I tried to wake you up...im glad I didn't. I'm glad it was me that got the end of that. I had you on my mind as I went there, I said I had to be brave for you so I went out there and he saw me. The last thing I thought about before I passed out was you. It was always you. And when I woke up the first thing I thought of was you and how I was going to get back to you. And when you found me at the hospital. I swear I could feel it when you entered the room. I dreamt of you. I couldn't stop. And when I woke up you were there and I told you I loved you again and I meant it. Then we kept getting so close and I loved it. You have no idea how even the little things made me so happy. Then truth or dare happened. I'm not going to lie but I got jealous when you said you liked someone. But that's okay you're allowed to like someone. I mean you're straight so it's okay. But...I sat on your lap and ... I don't know you felt 'hard' when I got off but yeah." he stops as I go bright red and he giggles and continues.
" and then we kisses. Or rather, I kissed you. I want you to know that even though you do t like me like that, that was the best kiss I have ever had. I felt so happy after that, like I could do anything. but as you know, George found out that we were getting closer and he tried to stop me. He threatened to kick me out of the band if I continued but I told him I loved you and that was it. He left alone for about a day and then said he literally would and I got scared. But I had you and that's all that mattered. Then he said he would tell you I was gay and that I loved you and I didn't want that to Happen. But it did. And so now were here. " He finished off with tears in his eyes and a sigh. I look at him with pure love.
"Michael..." I start.
"No! it's okay you don't have to say anything!" he interrupts and put him hand out motioning me to stop.
No, I want to. I have to. Michael, I do love you. Both of those kisses meant so much to me too. They were perfect. And...god damn it I want to kiss you now!" he smirks.
"Then kiss me, you fool." He says and grabs my waist and pulls me over to him. I lay on top of him and state I to his eyes and lean in to kiss him. Just gently until we got comfy. He started moving and so I did, completely in sync with each other yet again, just a passionate kiss.
I pull off and look down at his mesmerising eyes.
"Michael..i do love you." I say.
"Like how?" he asks me as I tilt my head to one side and go down again and lick his lips as to which he gets startled but giggles.
""I love you like you love me"
"You mean it?"
"I mean it."
He tilts his head up and pecks my lips. And I push down and peck his. And so on until we both start laughing.
"So.."
"So..."
I look around wondering what to say. There is one thing I want to say but I don't know how. It's hard to just say it but I'm willing to do it for Michael.
"Mike?"
"Yeah" he turns to look at me as I muster up the courage to speak.
"Now we have all this out in the open...do you think...do you think we could like, you know...like..date?" I finally stutter out
"Ben pryer, are you asking me to be your boyfriend?" he asks with a smile in his face and a hint of excitement in his voice.
"I do believe I am asking you to be my boyfriend Mr Sutthakorn" I reply with a cheeky grin as he flaps his hands about and leans in and kisses my nose.
"Yes! Oh my god yes!"he squeals. I peck his nose back and grab his hand and entwine our fingers together.
"So, now I can kiss you whenever I want!" I say as I play around with his fingers.
"Yes. And I can finally call you mine"
We sit in silence for a while just admiring each other's company before he suddenly speaks up.
"I love you Ben."
I stay quiet for a moment just taking it all in. He really loves me. He said it himself. He loves me like I love him.
"I love you mike" I say. And I really mean it.
