Jeremy Heere had always been a very attractive person, even if he thought otherwise. Michael Mell was well aware of the fact that Jeremy was attractive, and that people would eventually start to ask the teen out. Michael wasn't too worried, since he and Jeremy were dating, but the problem was that only Jeremy and Michael knew they were together. They were keeping their relationship a secret until they were comfortable with each other and the thought that people might make fun of them. However, Michael thought it best to keep it a secret until Jeremy's confidence was rebuilt. Still... Michael couldn't help feel a twinge of jealousy whenever a girl was flirting with Jeremy, watching his boyfriend turn red with embarrassment and discomfort. One day, something inside Michael when he saw one girl that just wouldn't take the hint that Jeremy wasn't interested.
"So are you single or...?" she trailed off, twirling her hair. Jeremy briefly made eye contact with Michael, his eyes begging for help. Michael could have almost sworn that his own eyes turned red as he shoved his way through the crowd.
"Or!" he stated firmly, grabbing Jeremy's hand. The girl's eyes widened as she backed away slowly, returning to her friends. Jeremy sighed and leaned against Michael.
"Thanks, Mikey," Jeremy said quietly. Michael nodded, pressing a quick kiss to Jeremy's head.
"How about we go get some lunch?" Michael offered. Jeremy grinned and the two walked out hand in hand.
