envelope (michael clifford au) [COMPLETED]

✉ letter number six ✉

michael opened the six letter not much later. it was december 22 and he was feeling extremely lonely, especially after the conversation with katie he had just the day before.

"hey katie," michael had said over the phone. after their little fight katie kind of just started ignoring michael and he didn't know why, quite frankly he was surprised that she answered his call.

"oh... michael, hi," katie spoke.

"uh, what's up? it kind of seems like you're avoiding me," he said sadly.

"yeah, listen mike you're cute and all but i don't think that we can be anything more than friends." and with that, katie hung up, taking a lot of michael's self esteem with her.

so here michael was, sitting across from zoe on her single bed. she was a little pissed to see michael at first, but decided that she had to be a good friend and let him in. katie was a bitch to michael, obviously, but he still missed her.

"are you going to open it or what?" zoe asked, finally.

so michael opened the letter titled "open when you miss someone" letter.

michael,

don't be missing anyone you bleached asshole, you probably don't need them anyways. keep your chin up and get wasted or something.

i love you

(maybe you love me too)

when michael was done scanning the page, he tore it in half and threw the pieces to the ground.

"what's wrong?" zoe asked.

"i just don't know anymore. these stupid envelopes are stressing me the fuck out."

zoe gave an empathetic smile and sat criss-cross, allowing him to rest his head in her lap. she played with his colorful hair until he eventually fell asleep. zoe moved to a more comfortable position, laying next to michael with their bodies barely touching. but being the cuddly person that he was, michael ended up hugging his friend tightly to his chest.

but friends just sleep in another bed, right?
