Again, I'd love for you to read these, but if you REALLY want to you could skip them... I guess... 

---Michael's POV---

When I came back the next morning, Jere pounced on me like a cat. Probably my fault for ignoring all his texts.

"Who did it? Micha please. Someone hurt you and as your best friend I reserve the right to a wimpy revenge attack." Jeremy looked so vehement, my heart did a little cartwheel. He cared! About me! Best friend though...

"Do we have to talk about this right now?" What if he hated me? I didn't want to be a complete loner. Or, more specifically, I was ok with being a loner if he was with me. If he wasn't with me I really just would rather not be.

"Yeah, well, I mean," Jeremy swallowed, and I watched his adam's apple bob. He reddened and looked down, sounding sad. "If you don't want to tell me, I guess, you know, that's chi-fine, but I-I don't know. I'm worried." He looked away, which was great because I was blushing as red as a goddamn cherry right now. "I fucking care about you, you know?"

And my heart just fucking left. "Well, fine, but, I just would rather keep it between us?"

"Sure bro. Just you and me, that's all that we need it to be." Aw hell, he had no idea now that made my gay soul skip.

"So my dad-"

"Is an asshole."

"Yeah, so-" I took a deep breath and stopped walking. "Jeremy."

"Yeah bruh?" He stopped, turning to me. It must've been my tone or some shit.

"I- I'm fucking gay." My heart stopped the second the words left my mouth. I stopped breathing, the whole world froze.

Jeremy's cheeks flushed and he looked at me sideways. "You're gay?" he repeated wonderingly.

I gulped and nodded, and suddenly needed to breathe double time. My heart beat extra fast and my breath came short, in gasps.

"Cool." Jere said finally. "I'm fucking bi."

"That's lit." Wait, what?

---Jeremy's POV---

I literally slept two hours last night, worrying about Micha. Who the fuck gave him those bruises? I was really mad at them, but I didn't know who the hell they were. I needed someone to direct my anger at.

PlayerTwo: Hey Micha

What if they beat him up because of me? I knew there were people happy that Micha had brought that Mountain Dew Red that night, but there were still idiots who thought that they were better off with a SQUIP. They didn't see how amazing Michael was.

PlayerTwo: H

E

Y

Micha

If that was why, it would be my fault if he was hurt, because I was the one who had the SQUIP.

PlayerTwo: Bro u good?

After all, I put him through, he saved me.

PlayerTwo: sorry about today, that was kinda messed up

Very messed up. I mean, I remember that night, I just might regret that night for the rest of my days.

PlayerTwo: Understatement. Very shitty of me. Sorry.
