It was an actual normal saturday afternoon, teens were hanging around in town or at the skate park but not everyone.
While all of this was happening, Michael Mell who just got abandoned by his best friend, Jeremy Heere, arrived with an unknown anger inside of him at home and slammed the door of his basement behind him.

''You alright honey?'' Michael heard his Mom Evelyn shouting and he had to calm himself for a normal answer.
''I'm fine!'' He hissed loudly and almost facepalmed over his own stupidy.
''Okay, food's upstairs!'' His other Mom, Charlie, added and Michael groaned.
''I know!'' The boy yelled and sat down at his sofa, putting out his phone for messaging his only other friend from school.

Rich

>Wanna come over??<
Read

>Yo<

Not even ten minutes later, Rich knocked at the door and Michael ran as fast as possible upstairs for being faster there than one of his Moms.
''Hi.''
''Hey.''
They both greeted each other and Michael let him come inside.
''What's up?'' Rich asked while they walked back downstairs.
''Nothing.'' Michael lied and avoided looking into the shorter boys eyes.
''You don't have to lie to me Michael, I won't tell anyone everything.'' Rich sighed and sat down next to Michael at the sofa.

For one short moment, Michael felt the need to tell him everything, every emotion, the entire situation with Jeremy and also anything else which could matter.
''I know, I'm just confused and quite upset.'' Michael admitted and gulped heavily.
''What happened?'' The shorter one asked curiously and looked at Michael who just bit his lip for a few seconds but the finally answered.
''Long story.''
Rich just sighed and laughed a bit.
''Well I have time.''

With a mixture of fascination and confusion, Michael looked back at Rich and sighed.
A few weeks ago Michael wouldn't have dared to think they both would ever be friends again, but here they were.

''Okay so, Jeremy kind of--'' Michael began and Rich already groaned.
''What did he do now?''

With a bit of insecurity and confusion again, Michael raised an eyebrow and gulped.
''Every single conversation is about Jeremy, Jesus Christ!'' Rich sighed and Michael blinked several times.
''What did the twink do now?'' Rich facepalmed and sighed again.
''He kind of abandoned me because of his squip.'' Michael finished his sentence and Rich looked at him with wided eyes.
''What?''
''What?'' Michael repeated and looked down.
''I'm sorry, he's a bitch.'' Rich shrugged and looked at the other one worriedly.

''How can you even talk to me?'' Michael asked and crossed his arms in thoughts.
''What do you mean?'' Rich asked back, still looking at him.
''You have a squip, so why don't you treat me like shit?''

The moment Michael asked this question, Rich closed his eyes and nodded.

''Because it's off.''
''What?''
''Because it's off!'' Rich shouted and Michael winced.
''I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell,'' He apologized and sighed before he continued.
''You can say 'shut down' and the squip disappears until you say something what makes it come back.'' Rich shrugged and Michael wided his eyes.
''So Jeremy could decide to turn it off?'' The taller boy asked and he began to feel numb again.
''I'm afraid yes.'' Rich nodded and looked at Michael who closed his eyes for a moment and laughed sarcastically.
''That changes everything, wow!'' Michael groaned and began to feel disappointed in his 'best friend'.
''I should've known better.'' He added and swallowed down the tears which were coming up in his eyes, pretending to not care infront of Rich.
''It's not your fault at all.'' Rich said instead of a bad comment how Michael expected him to be because of what he looked at Rich who was already looking back at him.
''Maybe it is, anyways, let's play a game on my Xbox,'' Michael tried to change the subject and Rich just nodded slowly before the taller one walked over to the TV and turned everything on.

''There you go.'' Michael laughed a little when he threw one of the two controllers to Rich who catched it the right before it arrived at the floor.
''Thanks.'' Rich chuckled a little bit and sat down infront of the Xbox, next to Michael.

''No, thanks to you.'' The taller one looked at Rich whereupon he raised an eyebrow.
''For what?''
''For being here.''

For a few moments the boys just looked into each others eyes, forgetting about the stress and people around them.
But as suddenly as this moment appeared it also disappeared again.
(NO ONE DESERVES TO DISAPPEAR)

''Well,'' Rich looked fastly away, feeling the heat in his cheeks.
''Let's play then.''

Without any other words, Michael started ApotD which he used to play with Jeremy all the time what gave him already a bit of a bad vibe.

''Michael?'' Rich asked nervously out of all sudden and the short one felt how his hands began to shake a tiny bit.
''Yeah?'' Michael raised an eyebrow, turning around at him.
''I-- Uh-- forget it.'' Rich shook his head and was short before slapping himself for that action.
''I don't wanna, go on.'' The taller one got noisy and Rich breathed out heavily.
''I can't-- it's not the right situation for anything I just-- no. I'm sorry.'' Rich gulped and saw how Michael bit his lip, thinking about his following action.
''Don't be.'' Michael sighed and Rich already began again.
''I should be I mean--.''

Without any other thought, Michael pulled Rich to him and pressed his lips on his.

After he realised what he just did, the taller one backed off and both of them just looked at each other, kind of in shock about what just happened.

''That's actually exactly what I was trying to talk about.'' Rich laughed a little, blushing a lot all over his face.
''Wait what?'' Michael wided his eyes and raised both of his eyebrows, not believing what the other boy just said.
''I think you heard, yeah.'' Rich bit his lips and starred at the floor, not knowing what to say at all.

''Rich? I think you need to know something,'' Michael began nervously and Rich looked back at him.
''I love you more than you'll ever wrap your head around.''
(HEHE BEN PLATT LYRICS WHAT)
''What? I thought you had a crush on Jeremy!'' Rich almost yelled but Michael put his hand over his mouth for avoiding that his moms could hear him.
''No! I used to but already since ages not anymore!'' Michael hissed and Rich laughed loudly.
''I am everything that I am because of you.''
(AND AGAIN)
''Please don't ditch me like Jeremy.''
''I won't.''
''Promise?''
''Promise.''
