Tree Bros, Boyf Riends and Kleisen One Shots

Boyf Riends- Confused pt2

Michael laid on his bed, staring up at his ceiling. He'd hoped that listening to music would bring him some stability, but confusion just filled him instead.

What does he want from me? Michael thought. Well, that's easy. He kinda seems to have a crush on me-no, no that's just wishful thinking.

He twirled his headphone wire around his fingers, thinking back to everything Jeremy had been doing. Maybe... maybe he does like me.

"Michael!" Michael quickly threw off his head phones when he heard his Lola yell.

"Yeah?"

"There's someone here to see you!"

Michael blinked. "Whom the fuck?" He asked quietly, getting off of his bed and walking towards the front door.

Michael almost turned around when he saw the pale boy at his door, but his Lola held a firm grip on his shoulders. "Be nice to the pretty white boy, darling. And have fun!" She whispered to Michael. "You have condoms right?"

"Lola." Michael said threw gritted teeth before smiling at Jeremy. "Hey man. What's uh, what's up?"

"Wanna go for a drive?"

"Oh. Uh, yeah. Yeah sure." Michael headed out the front door, waving goodbye to his Lola. Jeremy took Michaels hand tightly and lead him to his car, helping Michael get in the front seat.

Jeremy quickly got in, flipping to a random radio station and began driving.

"Uh, how'd you uh, how'd you find my address?" Michael asked, trying to break the tension.

"Dude, I'm popular. I know like, practically everything about everyone."

Michael gave him a look, and Jeremy sighed. "I bribed Jenna into telling me."

"Checks out." Michael looked out the window. "But like... why? To torment me?"

"What? No. I uh. Oh, fuck." Jeremy started. "You... I... ugh. I have a huge ass crush on you, and I have since elementary school. I'm just abnormally bad at emotions, so I kinda did the immature thing and like, bullied you. For like, twelve years. And then, so like, this year I've been trying to be nicer to you, but I can't let my 'tough guy' thing at school go away, so I uh... I'm only allowed to hang out with you outside of school."

Michael was silent for a moment before he finally spoke. "And so what, you think you can just... waltz into my life because 'you like me'? I haven't had friends for twelve years because of you. Life has been hell because of you. And I'm not about to just have a fake relationship with you because 'you'll change' when really, you're just gonna act the same way you always do at school, and maybe you'll be sweet to be at home. So thanks, but no thanks." Michael unbuckled his seat. "Let me out."

Jeremy almost protested, but once he saw Michaels face, he pulled off to the side, stopping. Michael got out and shut the car door, beginning his walk back to his house.

Jeremy hug his steering wheel, glaring at himself in his cars reflection.

Jeremy perked up. He knew what he had to do.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?"

The cafeteria went silent as the schools main bully stood on a table. "I have something to say."

Jeremy looked around until he found the boy he was looking for, and he smiled. "I've been the biggest fucking ass to someone that I've liked for twelve years. And, and last night I tried to talk to him, but he made me realize that unless I open myself up, I'll never win him over. So I'm here to say that yes, I do like boys, and yes, I'm in love with one boy, but I'll still beat your ass if you hurt him or me."

Jeremy stepped off the table, basking in the eyes of his classmates as he walked over to a lonely Michael. "Michael Mell. Will you do me the honors of like... dating me?"

The cafeteria was silent, waiting for Michaels response.

"You won't hurt me, or hit me, or do anything mean to me, right?"

"I swear, all of that is over. And... and I'm sorry."

Michael stood up, cupping Jeremy's face. "Then I will be your boyfriend."

The students erupted into cheers and hollers as the new couple kissed magically in front of everyone.
