||Priority|| (Michael Mell x Reader) [Be More Chill]

||Chapter Ten||

Time seemed to freeze in front of you.

We feed off of insecurities. Since I just powered on, I'm very weak.

Should his Squip attempt to link with me, I would lose without a fight.

Link?

Linking is where two or more Squips joint in connection and share the same goal in the end.

But it seems...

You two already share the same goal.

Everything came back to you, and you slapped Michael in the face without hesitation.

He stumbled back, and it looked like he snapped out of it.

"Michael! You said you wouldn't..! Why would you do this?" Your tone grew shaky the more you spoke.

"I-I just... you went to Chloe... I thought maybe you didn't want to see me anymore after what happened." He rubbed his cheek where you hit him.

"You could've just asked me!" You exclaimed in exasperation.

His expression held uncertainty of your next move.

"I'm sorry, Michael. I should've never went to Chloe." You sighed finally.

"N-No! I should've never—" He stopped himself from saying anymore. He knew the subject was still sensitive.

You sighed.

"We just have to figure out how to-"

"How to d-"

"—???"

The last word wouldn't come out.

Don't finish that sentence.

"Michael! We have to d—"

He cocked an eyebrow.

You screamed in frustration.

"What the hell." You huffed.

Why stop here? You can be whoever you want now.

"Get out of my head!" You exclaimed.

Michael showed an expression of concern, but he soon walked inside and shut the door.

"Stop doing this! Go back to being cool!" You screeched.

Think about it. You're so low right now. Nobody cares about you. You're a nothing.

"I said get out!" You say again, grasping your head. Your crutches hit the ground and your stance was wobbly.

This is all your fault. Michael is squipped, and you can't do anything about it. You're powerless and insignificant.

You slowly began to cry.

This sucked.

You were hopeless.

A nothing.

Nobody.

...

Michael came back outside.

He was holding a red version of Mountain Dew.

"This should help." He said.

His tone was stilled. How could his Squip consciously terminate another Squip?
