A Small Change of Heart | Boyf riends BMC |

Chapter 1

Today is another new day, I just got out of the hospital and everything seems to have died down, I go to my locker and get my stuff like usual. I stand there thinking to myself, 'everyone hates me since I practically destroyed the whole FUCKING school...I hope Michael still wants to be my friend, if not...then that's 12 years of friendship ruined.' I sigh.

*SLAM*

I jump back quickly "EEP-" I screamed, then I noticed who it was..

"...."

"MICHAEL!"
A huge smile spreads across my pale face, ahem. "Hey" he said with a blank expression on his face. "How've you been?" I replied dryly, smiling at him.
"I've been good. Say, it's been a while since we've actually hung out. Wanna come over after school and play appocalypes of the Damned with me? Just like old times?" His face was blank, but I could tell he was upset, I brushed it off.
"Sure. Got nothin better to do"

'WAIT THAT MAKES IT SOUND LIKE I DONT WANNA HANG OUT INEKEDK-'
"I..I MEAN-" I started to panic, hoping he wouldn't notice me panicking like a fucking idiot.

He chuckled and smiled "Jeremy, I know you're a panicky person but please. You know I understand what you mean." He said strongly but surely. "S..sorry I'm just...sorta stressed about all...t...t..that's happened to everyone and such...and I'm sorry ab-" Michael puts his finger against my mouth, "Shush, I understand you're sorry but now's not the time." He smiled, his smile always seemed to calm me down in my darkest moments...
"Yeah...ok...." I sighed.

Later that day I went to his house and sighed, I opened the door and went downstairs. It's pitch black and I can't see anything, I feel myself clinging onto the stair railing as I walk down, I carefully walk around to see if I can feel his presence anywhere, although I can't see shit, I know he's in here.
All of a sudden he jumps from behind the TV and screams "BOO BITCH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH-"
I scream at the top of my lungs and jump back, but my foot trips over something and I fall over with a big thud. Michael rushes to turn on the light to see what happened, he looks over at me and laughs "are you okay?"

I sigh and look at him as I sit up, rubbing the back of my head. "Yeah I'm fine". He walks over to me and lends me a hand "need some help?" He sheepishly smiled and chuckled.

I grab his hand as he pulls me up, "Thanks." I said dryly whilst looking him in the eyes, they glowed in the small light the room gave off, 'his brown glistening eyes...'

I shake the thought out of my mind as we play a couple rounds of Apoclyspe of The Damned, I start to doze off somewhere while playing...

I wake up sometime later at my house..huh. Michael must've carried me home after I fell asleep, oh well. I get a message from Michael, reading, "Don't talk to me again.". I stare at it in shock, did I do something wrong..? What happened..

The memories start flooding back, I woke up a bit after I dozed off and we had a huge fight...I can't remember what he fought about...but it certainly hurt him badly...I sighed and went back to sleep, worried that it might've ruined our friendship.

A couple weeks later

I started walking from class to lunch, a bunch of time has passed since I hung out with Michael, he's been ignoring me lately and i think i deserve that to be honest.... I kinda left him alone while he was having a panic attack. I sigh as I go grab lunch and sit down alone. I noticed Rich left the lunchroom....weird...

I sigh and continue eating my food whilst looking through my phone, As I get a text from Christine, "Hey! We are doing a fundraiser for a school play! Mind donating money? Anything is appreciated!!" I smile and reply "Sure, I don't got much but will 69 cents work?" I send and wait for a reply.

Time passes and she finally replys "that's fine! Any money counts!" I smile and put my phone away as the bell rings to get to class, while walking Michael flies past me, I look back but he kept running. He was ignoring me...which I deserve it to be honest, I continue to walk to class.

After School

I started walking home from school and I kept thinking of how Michael felt...I feel so bad for hurting his feelings over and over and over again, I decided I'd go over to his house to check up on him, besides it's the best I can do for now.

Time flies and I'm outside Michael's house, I open the door since I'm like family I'm allowed to walk in....anyway I go downstairs to see michael sobbing in the corner of his room.

"Michael...?" I said in a soft tone with a small look of worry on my face. He bolts his head up and looks over "why are YOU here.." he said wiping his tears away, curling back up into his ball. I sighed "I came here to check up on you...you seemed upset the last couple weeks and I'm worried.."

I walked over to him and sat down next to him 'I hope he knows he can tell me anything....'

Michael looks at me after 5 minutes of straight up sobbing, he sighed and wiped his tears away. "...." he's got bruises on his face and arms. I start to panic "M...Michael w...w...what happened?!-" I hugged him lightly, not caring if he wanted to hug or not.

He hugs back as tears form in his eyes and he sighs "...R....R.....Rich b...beat me up b...because I....I.....wouldn't l...l...listen to him...". Michael begins to sob, a look of shock fills my face "h..he did what..?" I look him in the eye in shock.
He continues to cry and looks me in the eye "h..he just...w...wouldn't stop....he...-" I tear up as well not wanting to see Michael injured, I hug him again and let him sob, patting his back whilst I tear up at the thought of him getting beaten up.

Michael finally stops sobbing and looks me in the eye whilst sniffling "I'm sorry.." he mumbled
I sigh and look him in the eye "you don't have to be sorry...I'm always here for you...Player 1" I give a soft smile. He smiles back at me as a slight blush spreads across my face.
At least he doesn't seem to notice...yet.
Michael finally seemed to calm down, "Since you're here...wanna play a round of AoTD?" he gave a soft smile.
"Sure." I gave him a smile.

After about two hours of playing, I somehow fell asleep. Michael sighed and picked me up and threw me on the bed while going to lay down in the beanbags, it was Friday anyway.
Michael then slowly falls asleep after a while.
I woke up to Michael snoring and laid across the beanbags. I sit up and yawn as I look around.. 'did I....fall asleep..?' I thought to myself as I stretched and got up and walked over to Michael sound asleep...he looks.....adorable...-

I shake my head 'nonono I can't ....but he's...-' I start blushing even more, hearing his cute laugh echo in my mind...

'Oh...my....god...'

'I..i think I'm gay for Michael..'
