Mahal Ko- Michael Mell x Male Reader

Million Dreams- Chapter 4

(Y/n's pov) After that 'amazing' conversation and sleeping on it, I decided that I would text him first thing in the morning. But... it was 3am and I couldn't sleep. So I shot him a quick text. Telling him that we should hang out again some time with Jeremy.

Y: Hey Michael.. you wanna hang out tomorrow? After school?

M: Sure. You mind if I invite my friends Evan and Connor?

Y: Not at all! The more the better.

M: Sweet! See ya tomorrow!

Awesome! Looks like I'm going on a date. Wait... no! Not a date 'date' ... but just hanging out... as friends. Ugh, curse these emotions! All because he said that he was distracted by me! That damn.. cutie. Ah! It happened again!

It's like I'm in a fan fiction of some sort. One of those stereotypical romances that already exist....

"Y/n?" I snap back into reality and see my brother Jeremy in my doorway.

"Oh! Hey, Jere. What's up?" I asked, smiling softly.

"Not much. Just wondering if you've been talking to Michael.." He says, rubbing his arm.  I sighed. There is no hope for my brother I swear. Ugh.

"Why does it matter? You said you'd talk to him next week." I said, crossing my arms.  Jeremy sighed. "I know! It's just..."  I saw him blushing. Wait.... No.

"Jeremy, do you... like Michael?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. His blush darkened. "W-what?! N-no..."  Yup, he does.  "It's okay if you do." I shrugged.

Jeremy smiled shyly. "Well.. I'll have to tell him next week. God, I can't wait."

He left my room, leaving me to my thoughts again.  I sighed and sent a quick text to my best friend Sky.

Y: Sky!
S: What's up bestie?
Y: I have a slight problem... you know Michael?
S: Mhm! Why? Ooo, do you like him?
Y: How'd you know?!
S: Uhhh... lucky guess?
Y: Well, yeah I like him. But I think Jeremy does too.

After telling Sky my situation, he told me to  let Jeremy confess to Michael and see how it goes. And if they get together, then... let them be happy.

After a week had passed, Jeremy and I walked to Michael's house to hang out.
Jeremy knocked on the door and one of the moms let us in. Michael was coming downstairs. Hey Guys! Glad to have us all back together." He smiled.

Jeremy smiled and nodded. "Yeah! So, Michael... can I talk to you? Alone?" He asked, blushing lightly. Michael raises an eyebrow. "Uh... sure. We'll be right back, Y/n." He tells me before heading upstairs with Jeremy to his room.

I knew that Jeremy was gonna just gonna apologize then tell Michael he's liked him more than a friend since his ex girlfriend left him. I waited a few minutes, waiting for them to get back.

I checked the time. What the hell? It's been an hour! That's it, I'm going up there. I started walking up the stairs. Then I started to hear noises coming from what I assumed was Michael's room. I stopped dead in my tracks, listening closely. "A-Ah~! Micha!~"

My face went a dark red immediately. Oh my god... they're having sex. That escalated quickly. Well, looks like that Michael is with Jeremy... man. I got my hopes up for no reason. Again. Yay....

I sighed and went downstairs, just waiting until they were done. After a few more minutes, they finally came downstairs. Jeremy's hair was a mess and so was Michael's. "Y/n, Michael and I are together." Jeremy said, smiling. My heart broke a little.

"That's... awesome! Congrats." I smiled, letting a little tear escape. And to think that I had a chance... well, maybe I thought I had a crush because he had said that he got distracted by me. Which, I guess makes no sense.

Michael pulled his arm around Jeremy's waist, smiling softly. "So, we ready to go to 7-11?" He asks. I nodded.

Jeremy also nodded, kissing his cheek softly. Michael chuckled softly. "Then let's go!" He smiled, leading us out the door. As we walked, they both kept flirting and kissing each other. Making me just the third wheel. So much fun...

Once we reached 7-11, they walked ahead of me to get to the slushy machine. I just got a Mountain Dew Red and some skittles. After paying for everything, we headed back. I didn't notice Michael looking over at me.

"You okay, Y/n? You're awfully quiet more than usual."  I look at him and put on a fake smile. "I'm okay. Just... happy for you two is all. I kinda feel like the third wheel instead of a friend."

Oops. Didn't mean to say that out loud.
Jeremy raises an eyebrow at me. "Well, you can go home if you want. I'll just be at Michael's."  I sighed. I might as well. I don't wanna be a burden on the new love birds. Or make Michael feel bad just because I'm the third wheel.

You know what, I will go home. I'll see you later Michael. And see you at home, Jeremy." I said, just walking home.  "Y/n! Wait!" Michael called out, but Jeremy stopped him. "He'll be okay, Micha." He reassured him.

After getting home, I just went to my room. Passing Dad in the living room.
"Y/n? You okay, son?" He asked as I walked by. I stopped in my tracks and sighed. "Actually, I'm not. Can I talk to you?" Dad smiled and nodded, patting the spot next to him. I sat down and told him everything that's happened.

"Well, I'm happy your brother is with someone who makes him happy. But that doesn't mean you have to be upset about it. Michael is a nice kid and you should be happy for him. Both of them.
And hey, being the third wheel has its perks." He smiled, putting an arm around me. I chuckled. Best dad ever.

After talking to him, I went into my room and started listening to the song 'Million Dreams' from the Greatest Showman.  Listening to the words.
