Reunited || Michael Clifford

FIVE

5pm

Luke, Michael, Elena and I all started walking towards the crowd which lead to where Of Mice & Men were about to play.

We managed to make our way through the very sweaty bodies in the audience to the sixth or seventh row which was actually reasonably close.

I noticed Austin Carlile walk onto the stage followed by Alan, Tino, Phil and Aaron. I've really really always liked this band and started to fangirl slightly as i realised Alan was laughing. Hopefully not at me although I doubt he would have noticed me within the thousands of faces.

....

"Michael stop it" I giggled as he blindfolded me. "What are you even doing?" He moved his hands which were on my shoulders down to my hips, pulled his body closer to mine and rested his head on the crook of my neck.

"You'll find out soon enough" he said.

Of course I couldnt see and had no idea where Michael was taking me, normally i'd overthink about the thousands of things that could happen to me but considering we were at a festival there wasnt that many places he could take me to.

"Are you ready kiera?" Michael asked with excitement and although I couldnt see him right that moment I was sure he had a smile on his face. "1, 2, 3" He counted before taking my blindfold off.

"OH MY GOD" I screamed. "Michael why did you bring me here?" He had lead me to a distant part of the esplanade. I was surprised at how peaceful and empty this place was. The day had gone by so fast that I hadn't realised the sky was almost pitch black.

"I thought it would be nice you know, to simply lay down and watch the stars with you, i brought pillows and covers, in case your up for it" he blushed and looked at the floor.

"Mikey this is so cute of you to do this" I whispered.

I watched him set out our adorable little "watching the stars" place and couldnt help but smile to myself. I hadnt realised how much I had actually missed Michael being by my side.

He gave me a nod of approvement as if to say that it was set up and we could lay down. I gripped tightly onto his hand to get down. He pulled the sheets over us and stared up into the sky full of stars.

"Stars are a funny thing" I stated, "I mean I think they are, because unlike humans, stars don't need other stars to shine brighter, whilst us human beings never seem to be content with ourselves on our own, i mean most of us will spend a life time searching for our other half "

Michael giggled "I love it when you get all philosphical" he shifted to face me " you always used to, i see you havent changed a slight bit" he smiled and kissed my nose slightly.

"Michael" I called.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"Well the festival finishes tomorrow and I'd like to know what is going to happen between us after it?"

Michael went silent but sighed.

"I think thats up to you to decide Kiera, i'm still living in that old torn down house with my cousin and dad, so if you'd like this to become a thing distance won't be an issue"

I noddded "Okay Michael, well i'd like to give this a go and for it to perhaps become a thing but for now lets enjoy the time we actually have"

He held onto my left hand and started drawing circles with his index finger around my eyes making an infinity sign. "I hope you know how gorgeous you are kiera." I couldnt see myself but I was certain that I had blushed.

I placed my head on Michaels chest and closed my eyes while he played with my hair and kissed my forehead goodnight.
