because it was still early, i decided to take a nap until day. that by itself wasn't natural for me, considering the fact that i am very nocturnal with extra steps.

but mike's kiss kept me from sleeping. how was i gonna sleep after that? mike is really sweet and i genuinely like him, but i don't think he meant it. they were all drunk anyway. but in a way, it felt like mike was playing with my feelings.

i know that's irrational because fritz was saying the exact same things, but i had just met fritz and he was kidding. mike and i already had a connection. i mean, alcohol can either make people speak their silent truths, or make shit up.

and if i'm being completely honest with myself, i am really hoping it was the truth.

i spent most of the night staring at the ceiling overthinking, but i had managed to fit in 30 minutes of sleep before i got a phone call.

"hello?" i asked groggily into the phone as i sat up.

"hey (y/n), it's mike. do you wanna come over?" mike asked. his voice had a tone of vulnerability in it, and i could tell he was hungover.

"oh uhh, sure! i'll be there in 30 minutes." i responded quickly as i felt my heart rate speed up.

"alright thanks. i'll see you then." he said before hanging up.

i sighed as i climbed out of bed and took a quick shower before brushing my teeth and hair. i chugged a bottle of blood mixed with three energy drinks in an attempt to wake myself up a bit.

i threw on a (f/c) knitted sweater with black jeans before flying out the window, this time in the form of a pigeon. a bat would seem suspicious during daytime. i flew outside mike's apartment and knocked on the door.

a few seconds passed before a disheveled looking michael afton opened the door. he had a brown fluffy blanket wrapped around him, and his blue eyes had bags under them. he wore an oversized purple sweatshirt with blue pants. his brown hair was sticking out in different ways, and i had laughed.

"you had a wild night," i joked.

"really? what happened? i can't remember." he responded with a smile as he invited me in.

i had felt something drop inside me, like minor disappointment as i sat next to him on his couch. of course he wouldn't remember.

"you made out with vincent." i responded jokingly.

"oh shit. i did?" he cringed as he rubbed his forehead with his hands. "if anyone in that group, i thought i would've made out with schmidt." he laughed.

"no, i'm just kidding. you and fritz both proposed to me twice though." i laughed.

he blushed a bit, but laughed too. "haha yeah, sorry about that."

"no, it was fine. vincent fell out of a tree, and scott almost robbed a pet store. it was super funny. and then i drove all of you to mcdonald's and we used fritz's credit card to buy happy meals for the hello kitty toys. i swear jeremy looked like he was gonna pass out 'cause he was running after vincent and scott all night." i laughed. "i had a lot of fun last night. thanks for inviting me, mike."

"i'm glad you came (y/n). the guys were texting me about how they really liked you." mike responded as he smiled at me.

"aww, that's cute." i laughed lightly. "i haven't really felt much in a long time, so i'm really enjoying this social aspect."

"well i'm happy to hear that you're having a good time." mike grinned before wincing in pain.

"are you alright?" i asked in concern as he laid down on the couch.

"yeah, i just have a headache." he answered.

"i can go shoplift you some medicine if you want." i half-joked.

"no, i'm alright." he reassured me. "but (y/n)?"

"yeah?" i asked.

"did anything else happen last night?"

i paused as i bit my lip. i didn't know whether i should be honest about it or not.

"uhm, well," i started as i fiddled with my fingers. i looked at the ground with an awkward smile before looking back up at mike. he looked a bit nervous, as if he were expecting me to say something.

well, it's now or never, i guess.

"i'm pretty sure you swallowed a cricket, but i don't really know." i laughed.

"oh that's disgusting," he cringed as i giggled.

"oh! and you had this whole wedding plan that you made up on the spot, and it actually sounded pretty cool." i said as i blushed a bit.

"wait, really?" mike flushed red from embarrassment.

"yeah. you said we should get married and adopt 3 poodles. then you said we should move to mexico and pursue a life of crime before passing out." i laughed as mike went red. "you were adorable though. you kept clinging to me like a puppy."

mike just laughed in embarrassment.

"it was so cute." i added.

"do we have to work tomorrow?" mike asked.

"yeah, but i'm pretty sure we get shorter weeks though because of the other technician and nightguard." i responded. "have you met them yet?"

"no, but i'm pretty sure jeremy will introduce them to the group later." mike said.

"oh alright. well i'm gonna go so you can get some rest." i stated as i walked towards the doer.

"oh okay. thanks (y/n)." he smiled.

"no problem. love u, bye!" i said before walking out of his apartment. but i only realized i had said that last part when i closed the door behind me.

oh shit, this'll be awkward tomorrow.
