Michael

Let's Go!

"WakeUp Mika!" Fortune was shaking his brother. Mika and Michael both woke up and sat up with confused looks on their faces.

"What's wrong Fortune?" Mika asked.

"What? Oh, nothing bad. But we were supposed to be checked out by 11, it's 1!" he yelled at Mika as he and Michael both jumped out of the bed and ran towards the bathroom.

"Hurry up!" They heard a familiar voice say and laugh.

They both stopped in the seating area and quickly turned to see who it was.

"Ezra!" They both shouted at the same time running over to hug him.

"Hey!" Ezra got up to hug the two of them. "Fitz checked me out. I'm hungry and you're smelly, so..." he trailed off.

"Oh yea, haha. Give us a few minutes!"

Michael happily said as he and Mika made their way into the shower.

Mika stepped into the shower behind Michael and wrapped his arms around him burying his head into his back.

"You know we're supposed to hurry!"

Michael giggled as he turned around to face Mika. Mika smiled as he pressed his lips against Michael's. They pulled apart gazing into each others eyes.

Michael put his arms around Mika's neck and pulled him as close as he could, "I love you." Mika responded by pressing Michael against the wall and kissing him passionately before..

--knock-knock--

"Dad! Hurry!" Ezra's voice rang.

Mika and Michael both rolled their eyes smiling. They finished up in the shower.

"You know we have a lot to talk about today," Mika said leaning against the counter staring at Michael who was brushing his teeth. Michael nodded starring at Mika in the mirror. Mika walked out of the bathroom to get dressed leaving Michael alone.

'What do I do?' Michael thought to himself. 'He's going to leave today. Leaving me. All alone. He's going to be off wherever in the world. With whomever he can get that night. Wait..'

He stared at himself in the mirror. 'Am I...one of those? Was all this an act for the week?' Michael started to get mad.

"Love are you going to get dressed today or are you just going to stare at yourself in the mirror all day?" Mika laughed in the doorway of the bathroom. Michael forced a smile and brushed past Mika. Mika knew something was wrong, but didn't ask.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Mika finally asked as they sat down outside Michael's cafe. Michael didn't respond and just stared off across the street.

The three others looked at each other with confused looks on there faces.

Before everyone could order Michael started, "are you using me?"

Mika choked in his water, "excuse me??"

"Are you using me?"

"Michael I don't know where this is comi..." Michael cut him off.

"You don't live here Mika. I live here. In Detroit. You live in London. It's not going to work." Mika looked heartbroken as Michael continued with Fortune and Ezra staring at the both of them. "You know it Mika. I know it. My kids know it!" Michael stood up and started to walk away, "let's go Ezra."

Ezra stared at Fortune, then to Mika, and back to Fortune. "Fortune? Are you using me too?" Ezra looked hurt.

Fortune grabbed Ezra's hands and started, "no Ezra...I..."

Michael cut him off as he grabbed Ezra's arm, "I said let's go!" He shouted pulling Ezra to his feet and down the street to their car. Ezra kept looking back at Fortune.

"No dad! Let go of me!" Ezra yelled at his father pulling out of his grip in the middle of the street. "You can fuck this up you all want for yourself, but your not fucking it up for me!" Michael slapped Ezra as Fortune ran over to him. Ezra fell to the pavement holding his face, scared.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Fortune shouted as he helped Ezra up.

"I..i.." Michael started before turning around and quickly getting into his car.

Just like that he was gone again.

Mika guided Fortune and Ezra out of the street as they took their seats back at the cafe. They sat in silence.
