jeremy    ,        we    seriously    need    to    talk    about    the    ....        squip    incident    shit    .            you    can't    just    brush    it    off    like    nothing    happened    with    some    half - assed    apology    .

            /really/    ?    [    his voice cracks    ,    quiet and fragile under the newfound atmosphere the air carried    .    he looks at michael's lips    ,    for once /stares/ at them without any care for michael catching on    .    jeremy doesn't even give michael time before he's suddenly smashing their lips together    ,    having moved purely on impulse and his failed attempt to keep his own composure    .
            
            he's not the greatest kisser in the world but he's at least got the basics of it all down    ,    using what he had learned in both visual representation and  with the squip to ground himself    .
            
            he's slow and steady    ,    head tilting slightly so their lips could press up against each other's much better    ,    ignoring the way michael's glasses dig into his skin    .    and he /hopes/    ,    he really does    ,    really /depends/ on if michael ever kisses back    .    he hopes to whoever the man in the sky is that he didn't make a mistake    .    ]

            [    he's scared    .    he's so much more afraid than he had originally thought he would be    .    each passing second is killing him    ,    is plunging arrow after arrow after arrow straight into his chest without any intention of stopping unless michael somehow reciprocates and leaves this kind of love requited    .
            
            jeremy nods soundlessly at the question    ,    confirming michael's suspicions and taking a deep    ,    sharp breath before holding it in altogether as he awaited michael's final response    .    his hands have begun to tremble and quiver    ,    anxiously fidgeting with the brunette's fingers as they lay upon the heart his chest    .
            
            maybe jeremy fucked it over    .     maybe    ,    just after he had said that    ,    michael was contemplating the best way out of this situation possible and the only thing jeremy really was waiting for was inevitable rejection    .     he exhales shakily    ,    heart /racing/ and soaring    ,    the butterflies in his chest fluttering fervently up and up until it clogs his throat    .
            
            jeremy's lips suddenly part to apologize    ,    to say sorry and that he shouldn't have said it    ,    shouldn't have tried⎯    michael seems to have other plans    ,    however    ,    and jeremy's heart jumps when michael had done the same    ;    had led jeremy's hand to his chest    .
            
            he says it back    .    jeremy chokes on a happy sob of relief    .
            
            he could /cry/    ,    could scream and shout and tell the whole world about what had just happened    ,    about how michael mell /loved him back/ and how he wouldn't trade anything to let go of it    .    ]

*      as   his   hands   are   placed   over   jeremy's   chest   ,      michael   hears   his   own   heartbeat   ringing   in   his   ears   ,         breath   hitching   for   a   moment   .      jeremy's   heartbeat   ,      however   ,      seemed   to   be   in   sync   with   his   own   ;      gaining   speed   every   few   seconds   .      *
            
            wh  ━       you   ━━         *      michael   sputters   like   a   car   engine   ,         words   jumbled   up   &&.   almost   incoherent   .      *         do   you      ...      do   you   .....      actually   ?      *   his   voice   is   low   ,      gentle   ,      as   if   he   spoke   too   loud   jeremy'd   crumble   into   pieces   .      *
            
            *      he   doesn't   know   how   to   comprehend   the   situation   .      did   jeremy   just   say      /  i   love   you  /      ??         but   like   ,      for   real   ??      judging   solely   off   the   way   the   dirty   blonde's   eyes   continuously   flicker   down   to   his   lips   ,      michael   assumes   he   means   it   .         not   in   a   bro   way   .      *
            
            *      the   past   awkward   tension   has   been   lifted   and   replaced   with   a   new   one   ;      it's   heavy   in   the   air   ,      so   thick   not   even   a   knife   could   cut   through   it   .      *
            
            *      this   time   ,      michael   takes   one   of   jeremy's   hands   ,      cautiously   placing   it   over   the   area   of   his   heart   ,      beating   an   abnormally   fast   rate   as   well   .         his   other   hand   still   laid   on   jeremy's   chest   .     he   repeats   the   same   words   as   previous   ,      but   this   time   ,      michael   means   it   with   every   part   of   his     / soul /    ;       *
            
            i   love   you   too   ,      jeremy   .
