Mikey Way Oneshots

why do I never look up while walking?

"No, Hannah, I will definitely not come with you to the tour bus of your favourite band right now! If they are this famous you told me they are, they won't even notice you and probably only want to be left alone! They're going to perform a concert this evening for fucks sake!" I spoke into my phone while walking towards my favourite bookstore where I planned on buying the next part of my favourite series.

My best friend Hannah, who I was currently yelling at, was dragging me this evening to a show of her favourite band because she had one spare ticket. The original plan for her was to go with her boyfriend when she bought the tickets but they had broken up a while ago and now she took me with her instead. Not that I was complaining, the songs she made me listen to were actually quite good and I liked them. 

But you couldn't really call me a fan. Besides, I always thought it was a bit extreme to harass your idols in every waking hour. To worsen the situation the concert would be in our hometown so the band members consequently would walk around here, too. So my wonderful crazy fangirl of a best friend now tried to convince me to search them all around the town because she got bored and excited for the concert. 

"Please Y/N, I only want to have a tiny chance to meet them. You're already outside, can't we just look for half an hour or so? Or walk around the venue, maybe they're already there" begged the lunatic girl on the other end. 

I sighed. "I know you really like them but we're going to the concert so you will definitely see them today, also we got pretty good places so you can look at them all you want the whole time. But stalking is not okay whether they are famous or not" I explained, hoping that would calm her down, closing my eyes for a second and pinching the bridge of my nose. 

"But..." 

Suddenly I slammed into something infront of me and almost fell down, losing my phone during the incident. 

Luckily, a firm grip around my arm saved me from making contact with the hard sidewalk. Immediately I began to apologize: "Oh God, I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!" 

I looked up and shit, why had I run in such a handsome guy? He was taller than me, pretty skinny, had a really sharp jawline and bleach blond hair. His eyes were shielded by black sunglasses so I couldn't quite read his expression. 

"No problem, at least you didn't fall or anything. Oh, and your phone might be a bit damaged" the guy pointed out. I took it off the ground and ended the call without any further words to Hannah. Luckily the screen wasn't broken. I would apologize later to cut her off but the person in front of me was way more interesting right now.

To my horror, I noticed that he seemed to had drunken something while walking, probably coffee or tea, and I had managed to knock his cup out of his hand.

"Oh no, sorry again for spilling your drink. I know a good coffeeshop just around the corner. Can I maybe buy you one as apology?" I offered still feeling horrible for running him over and spilling his coffee. 

The handsome guy seemed to scan me with his sunglasses-hidden eyes and I felt a bit self-conscious. My hair was a mess and I wore an old hoodie and black skinny jeans. Not exactly my best outfit but hey, I didn't plan on running into cute boys.

Then he nodded and said: "Yeah, would be nice. I can't live without my coffee." 

I smiled. "Me neither. Oh, by the way, what's your name? Mine's Y/N" I introduced myself extending a hand. 

He took it, grinning as if I had made a joke what confused me a little bit but I ignored it. "My name's Mikey. So in which direction is your coffeeshop?"

We walked more or less in silence the short distance and he opened the door for me like a gentleman. After ordering our drinks we settled down on a table in the corner of the store, shielded from the stares of noisy old people. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he wanted to spend more time with me, I probably would be pretty pissed at the person spilling my coffee.

"So what were you doing before I ran you over?" I began a conversation hoping my question was not that blunt as it sounded for me. 

Again he looked kind of expecting in my direction still wearing his sunglasses. Who wore sunglasses inside? And I still had the feeling that I was missing something but yet still ignored it. He seemed nice and I wanted to get to know him. 

"I'm here with a few friends and got curious of the place so I walked around the town some time to look and stuff" Mikey shrugged. "And you?"

"Oh, I was on my way to the bookstore while talking to my best friend over the phone." 

"And what did she tell you that you ran into me? Sorry if that's a too personal question. Did something happen to her?" Mikey asked and became apparently embarrassed by his own question, judging on his tone.I found it sweet that he became worried about a person he never met.

I laughed and reassured: "Oh no, nothing bad happened. She tried to  coax me into coming with her to roam the city for the band we'll be seing this evening. She's kind of a fangirl and will most likely faint during the concert if one of them acknowledges her. But hey, my job as her best friend is to catch her then and stop her from other stupid stuff like stalking or the like."

Now Mikey laughed as well although he seemed kind of uneasy. What was happening? Maybe he just didn't talk that much to other people and felt generally uncomfortable I told myself. But why would he start a conversation with me then?

"What band are you two seeing? Maybe I know them" Mikey wanted to know curiously and leaned in closer. He listened closely throughout the whole conversation and I liked talking to him. 

"Well, that's kind of embarrassing but I didn't really catch the name. I think something with chemistry? Or romances? Right now I can't remember it for the life of me but believe me, Hannah has told me the name at least thirty times in the last 24 hours. She would kill me if she knew I can't remember it." I told him laughing at my own forgetfulness. He grinned at me.

It bugged me a little bit that I couldn't see his eyes but I didn't want to be noisy and beg him to take them off. That would have sounded kind of creepy. 

"Have you any idea what kind of music they're making and if so do you like it?" Mikey again inquired. I didn't know why but my answer seemed important to him, judging on his body language.

Now slightly nervous I answered: „I haven't heard all of it but the songs Hannah showed me were pretty cool and I liked them. Maybe I will listen more often to them when the concert was good as well."

Mikey smiled contently and leaned back. „Then I hope that you will have fun tonight. Have you been to different concerts?"

And with that we talked about our tastes of music which were pretty similar, concerts we attended and just things in general. He was not only handsome but a really sweet person and I liked him instantly.

Then his phone made a strange noise to which he shot me an apologetic look. He checked it, checked the time and said suddenly in quite the hurry: "Uh um, sorry, but I had forgotten something that is now and my friend just reminded me. I have to go now but maybe I can give you my number? I really enjoyed this coffee."

Mikey looked hopefully up to me (no idea how he did this considering he already stood while I still sat at the table and he was still wearing these stupid sunglasses). I beamed. He liked it, too!

"Of course! Wait, just put it in so I won't mess the numbers up" I gave him my phone and he typed something. His own phone made the same noise and he gave mine back. 

Then Mikey went to pay the drinks although I told him I could have paid on my own but he insisted and then hurried away.

I looked at my phone curious under what name he had saved himself and what message he had sent. My last contact was labelled as Mikey;) and the message only said Y/N from the bookstore.

Hey everyone!
