I hear a knock downstairs but I know my parents will get to it first so I don't even move, I know it's Mikes. My parents want to seem nice even though I know they're not. Ugh. Anyway, after their greetings I hear footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Hey!" Mikey says, a wide grin on his face. He seems so much more confident now, it makes me so happy.
"Hi Mikes! Come in and shut the door." I say, returning the same happy tone. I'm genuinely excited to see him.

He eagerly shuts the door behind him and sits on the bed next to me.
"Can I hug you?"
"Yeah sure!" I reply, smiling at the thought.
He opens his arms and leans in and I do the same, it's at an awkward angle but we don't really care, I just love being close to him. I turn my head and kiss his cheek softly, he slowly pulls away and I can see he's bright red.
"Was that okay? I can stop doing that if you want?"
"No no I loved it I'm just not used to this, but it's great... can you uhh, do it again?"
"Of course, cutie"
He flushes red again, I can feel the warmth in his cheeks when I kiss him lightly once again. His skin is so soft and wonderful, 'Damn I wish I had skin like that.' I think to myself.

A while passes and we're sat on the bed watching YouTube, just some Minecraft videos. He really likes Minecraft and it's so cute to see him get excited about the game. I think the world of him. And to think that if my parents had found a babysitter that I'd never had met him... I guess I just got lucky.

"(Nickname)," Mikey says, "do you wanna go on a walk instead of being stuck inside? You can show me around your side of New Jersey?"
"Yeah, that sounds great!" I say happily, honestly just being outside so we can be away from my parents is a wonderful thing.

We get our shoes back on and tell my parents we'll be back soon.
"Remember the rules." My father says. I know this means code for no 'gay shit' but that's dumb and homophobic. I'll do what I want.

We make sure to walk a few blocks away from the house before we hold hands, it's not exactly the nicest around here but I feel confident when I'm with him, and if anyone hurts us I'll (attempt to) kick the shit out of them. We walk to the park, it's not that far away but we probably won't see anyone that can snitch on us to my parents.

Usually in summer you'd be able to smell the freshly cut grass but it's winter so it's cold as fuck. Mikey's wearing fingerless gloves and a beanie, I'm just wearing extra layers.
"You look cute with your hat and gloves, Mikes." I say, seeing if I can make him blush again. To no surprise, it worked.
"Awe, thank you handsome."
I usually hate doing couple shit in public but I can't help it with him. He needs to know how cute he is.
