* 12 year friendaversary *
Jeremy and Michael were celebrating their 12th year of friendship. And what better way to do it than celebrate with the kids you went through the brain robot apocalypse through? They all gathered at an amusement park.
"Alright to celebrate your Bro-ness, we will be spending all day Heere," Jake said, clapping his hands together. Rich snickered a little. They had invented the girls, but they were unable to make it.
"Tho what do you guyth wanna do firtht?" Rich asked, looking at the two gamer boys.
"Well, we can start by going to the arcade!" Michael said, grabbing Jeremy's hand and pulling him along. Rich and Jake said something along the lines of 'GAY', but Michael ignored it. He would not let his (extreme) crush on Jeremy ruin their 12th year of best friendship...ness.
No gay thoughts today, Michael Mell, Michael thought to himself. Just focus on making Jeremy happy.
*Rich POV*
Jake and I had formed a plan on our way here(Heere). We decided that today would not only be the anniversary of their 12 year of friendship, but would also start their first year of a relationship. We all knew Michael was very gay for Jeremy, and Jeremy obviously had an obvious crush on Michael. We just needed to find a way to get them to confess.
*3rd Person POV*
"Hey guys, let's ride that huge roller coaster!" Jake said, grabbing Rich's hand and pulling him towards it. Rich smiled and beckoned Jeremy and Michael to follow. Michael looked excited, but Jeremy, on the other hand, was extremely nervous. The SQUIP had made him feel like he was on a roller coaster, shocks varying from high to low levels of pain. He didn't really know how it reminded him of coasters, it was stupid really, but he couldn't help wince at the dull shocks it sent down his back thinking about it. Michael took notice almost immediately, and grabbed Jeremy's hand. Rich noticed out of the corner of his eye and smirked, winking at Jake knowingly. Jake nodded subtly and went back to paying for tickets.
Jeremy's anxiety did not decrease as they got closer to the ride. His body started trembling and he turned pale. Michael squeezed his hand in a calming matter, and Jeremy squeezed back.
"What's wrong, Jeremy?" Michael asked softly. Jeremy was getting worse and worse. He could barely form words as he whispered.
"S-Squip..." he said quietly. Michael looked at him in terror, then turned to Rich and Jake.
"Guys, Jeremy and I are heading to the bathrooms real quick," he said hurriedly. He dragged Jeremy along with him and they locked themselves in a stall at the end.
"Is it back?" Michael asked. Jeremy shook his head. He'd never told Michael about the physical torture he'd been through. He wanted to tell him, but couldn't find the words.
"M-my back. Ch-check there," he fumbled. Michael understood and lifted Jeremy's shirt just enough to see his back. He gasped when he saw the scars, red and painful memories.
"You can touch them if you want," Jeremy said almost inaudibly. Michael lightly traced his fingers over the scars, tears welling in his brown eyes.
"The squip..."
"Shocked me. Any little thing I messed up, I was shocked for. Up and down, like a roller coaster. Passed out a few times," Jeremy mumbled, a little calmer. Michael gently rubbed Jeremy's back, and gently slipped off Jeremy's sweater. Jeremy went rigid. Michael didn't understand why until he look down at Jeremy's arms, which were lined with scars, cuts, and bruises.
"W-what?" Michael whispered. The tears in his eyes fell, and he didn't bother to wipe them away.
"My dreams are bad... Really bad. The squip can take over them... I have to relive the worst part of my life every night," Jeremy explained. "He still hurts me in those dreams. Telling me I should die, then beating me." Jeremy rolled up his pants leg to show Michael the injuries on his legs.
"Make up hides my face... but he usually lets that be and tells me to hide the rest or else everyone will hate me." Jeremy had tears running down his face, and the make up he had been talking about started coming off.
"We could never hate you," Michael chided. He grabbed Jeremy's hands in his own and held them tightly. "I wish you'd have told me sooner. I love you so much." Jeremy looked up at Michael, not in shock or hatred, but in disbelief. He'd been in love with Michael for years, but used Christine as a distraction. When she and Jeremy broke up, his feelings for Michael came back stronger than ever.
"You-you do?" he asked in surprise. Michael nodded. Jeremy felt tears in his eyes again as he wrapped his arms around Michael's neck and held him tightly.
"That's all that I've wanted for longer than you could possibly know," he said softly. Michael hugged him back immediately and didn't let go for a while.
Eventually, Rich and Jake began to worry where their friends were. They had planned for this, with Jake only buying two tickets, but they had expected Jeremy to have calmed down by(bi) now.
"Maybe we thould go look for them," Rich suggested.
"Yeah, you're right bro. I think they went that way," Jake said, pointing towards a nearby restroom.

Michael and Jeremy had finished hugging and were now working on covering Jeremy's injuries. Michael, knowing how clumsy Jeremy can be, had brought a first aid kit, and was now bandaging his boyf. They heard someone walk in.
"Hey guyth, are you in heere?" they heard a familiar lisp ask. They knew it was Rich, and that if Rich was there, then Jake was as well.
"We're in the last stall," Michael said, unlocking the door. He had just finished covering Jeremy up and they were ready to leave. Jeremy grabbed Michael's hand, and Rich grinned at the sight.
"So... are you two together now or..." he asked, gesturing towards their hands. Michael looked towards Jeremy, and Jeremy looked back. They nodded to each other, then to Rich. Rich threw his fist in the air. Jake scooped his small boyfriend up and hugged him.
"OUR PLAN WORKED JAKEY D!!" Rich said happily.
"YEAH IT DID!" Jake replied. All four boys walked out of the bathroom, then decided that maybe an amusement park wasn't for today. They went back to Michael's house to play some video games and cuddle with their boyfriends.
