only us.

chapter nine.

emotions were all over the place.
the gang was upset,
but still happy,
to the see the two.
mike was scared and y/n was beaming pure joy.
life was back to normal.
for her at least.
after letting y/n talk for hours,
an awkward silence broke upon the group.
"let's talk about the elephant in the room, please?"
will asked,
rubbing his head of the built up tension.
"i just think it's interesting that... you left us behind when y/n had to go and now all of a sudden that you're okay and got y/n back, you're here again."
lucas spoke,
the aggravation in his voice very evident.
"i-i was hurt. and i didn't wanna be around anyone. i was just angry all the time and you guys don't deserve to be around. that,"
mike tried to defend himself.
but lucas started back up.
"we were all hurt, mike! she was a big part of our life too. we all helped each other through this. we've always been there for each other. we're family! yet, the moment y/n up and leaves town, we're not important. we're not enough support. is that what i'm hearing?"
the bickering between the two went on for a while,
but it eventually ended with a mended friendship.
y/n was glad her plan had pulled through.
and as they all sat together and laughed as one,
it felt as though nothing had ever pulled this group apart.
it was everything y/n had missed.
they continued to play their games,
mike would reach his hand under the table and laced his fingers with the girl.
y/n turned her head to face him and watched the soft smile pull at his lips.
"thank you,"
he mouthed,
caressing y/n's thumb with his own.
she mirrored his smile and gave him a quick nod.
the two had fixed each other's life again without even realizing it.
and they wouldn't have it any other way.
***
y/n laid her head against mikes pillow,
watching as his slightly parted lips let small snores escape.
she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth in admiration and drew small circles against his bare abdomen.
the action was enough to stir mike awake.
"hey...you okay?"
he asked,
his voice heavy with sleep.
"yes, love. are you?"
"never better."
y/n giggled as he wrapped his arms around her tightly and pulled her as close as humanly possible,
basking in the sweet scent of y/n l/n.
mike placed a finger under her chin and drew her head up,
forcing her to lock eyes with his.
the boy smiled and ran his thumb down her bottom lip,
then closed the space.
the world around them stopped as their lips became one.
mike tasted y/n with no intention to ever stop.
her taste was that of ambrosia,
and he knew how dangerous it could be.
but it was worth it.
time began to slow the longer they laid connected,
until y/n's phone rang.
she hesitantly broke apart to pick it up with a protesting mike yelling at her playfully.
"just let it ring, y/n!"
"okay, okay!"
mike and y/n laughed as he pulled her close again.
the two let the world drown out and a voicemail was then left:
"hey y/n, it's jupiter. listen..i hate to be the one to tell you this but mike isn't all he claims to be. you don't know him like you think. so...give me a call back when you can."
—
