Journey Ever Re-Directed

Intervention

Jeremy's POV

Okay. Its established. First, I'm bi. That's for sure. But second, the relationship between me and Kian is now official.

I'm so happy!

But now there's another issue...

I think Michael already was in a bit of a funk because Kian was allowed to stay in my home and live with me after almost destroying my life. And he- who went through hell and back and still forgave me- still doesn't get that privilege. His mom won't let him. So I guess he's already pretty salty about the attention Kian is getting, but after I told him that we were dating, he hasn't been talking to me as much as he use to.

This upsets me a bit. I like Michael. He's my best friend. I don't want to loose him over a relationship like I had lost him before over Christine.

But it's odd because instead of fighting like before, Michael and Kian don't speak. They ignore each other, but fight for my attention. I hate it. I wish they could just... figure out how to get along like before we started dating...

So I invited Michael over so I can finally set this straight.

I opened the door when I hear knocking. "Hey, Michael. Come in and sit down." I said seriously.

"What's up?" Michael asks as he enters and sits across the room from Kian who was sitting on the couch like I had told him to.

I point at the spot next to Kian. "Sit there." I said.

Michael groans and sits as far as he could from Kian.

I shake my head. "No. Because you decided to sit as far from him as possible, now you have to sit shoulder to shoulder." I said.

I'm sick of them acting like the other is a disease. It's time for them to catch each other's cold.

Michaels POV

Why does Jeremy have to do this. I was content with just ignoring it. Content with just letting them be happy and forgetting it was a thing. But I'm gonna guess this is an intervention or some shit but whatever it is I don't like it and I don't want a part of it.

But Jeremy... for Jeremy I guess if it makes him happier to think we could get along then whatever Ill let it happen.

"You two need to get along." He began. "I'd love it if you two could become friends but obviously you can't shove the grudge against each other away long enough to even talk to each other so I guess it's gonna require me to talk to both of you about being nicer." He said.

I sigh. "Jeremy, please can we not do this today..." I said, knowing this probably would end in a fight.

Jeremy shook his head. "No. This is happening today." He said. "Hug." He commanded.

"What?!"

"Hug. Right now. Hug and apologize. Both of you." He said. "You two were so happy a while back... screaming out take on me? That was so fun. I had never been so happy to see you two having fun together." He said.

I feel immensely guilty. Not because of what I had been doing before now, no. But because I too was really having fun that day... and to be honest, Kian never really did anything wrong... I've just been really hostile because I was jealous... and yeah. I'm gonna admit it. It just felt like he was stealing him from me again... and it hurt...

I turned and hugged him. "Look... I'm sorry... Kian..." I said softly so that Jeremy wouldn't hear. "I was scared." I finally admitted.

I felt him hug back. "Scared?"

"You were gonna take him from me again..."

"Michael, no! I couldn't! I could never, that caused you so much pain..." he said. "I felt so bad about that... it was an awful way to carry anything out..."

"You... you felt bad about that?" I asked, pulling away. I didn't realize he was regretting it...

"Of corse! I thought about it when I saw you and Jeremy playing in the snow... I put you through so much I... Michael I'm sorry.... I'm sorry I hurt you... if I felt this way when Jeremy first got me none of this ever would've happened..." he said.

That felt so nice to hear. It was like a weight lifted off my chest. "....." I realized I was smiling. "T-.... thank you.... for that...."

Kian grins. "Is that all you were upset about?" He asks.

"Y... yeah...."

Kian smiles sweetly. "Rest assured, I'll never do it again. I never wanted you to be upset, Michael. I really wanted to be friends... but I felt you push me away so I stayed out of your reach..." he said, rubbing his arm.

Holy shit. Holy shit what? "You've been wanting to be friends?" I asked.

"Of corse!" He said. "I mean... I know why Jeremy likes hanging out with you. You're super good at playing video games, you're funny, I have no clue what humor that is that you use but I really like it-"

"Memes!" I said bouncing. HAHAHAHAHA! IVE TAUGHT A MEMELORD!

"OH GOD NO, MICHAEL!" Jeremy groans out at me.

His fault. He wanted the intervention~

Kian chuckles and smiles at me. "I'm sorry I hurt you, Michael. I'll never do it agin." He said, holding out his hand.

"...I'm sorry for acting like a jerk..." I finally said. "But I'll only shake your hand on one condition."

"Hm?"

"We sit down on this couch and the three of us watch vines for the next few hours~" I said.

Jeremy groans again. "You can never take things seriously can you?" He said with a smile.

"Hahahah! Since when have I ever?~" I said, shaking Kian's hand.

"Deal!" Kian said.
