Shared Brain Cells (Mikey x Reader)

Chapter 12 - Interrogation

You decided to play it cool, pretending to wake up just now, yawning and stretching. "Did I fall asleep?" you asked, trying to pretend Mikey's face wasn't an alarming shade of red.

"Y-yeah" Mikey stuttered, swallowing hard, "but it's no big deal."

You smiled kindly, trying to quell the rush of heat you felt flooding your face. "Maybe I should go?" you said, your voice a low whisper.

"It is getting kind of late, do you need me to walk you home?" Mikey offered.

You chuckled, shaking your head "even if I did need an escort, you're sick" you smirked "unless you were faking in order to spend time with me"

Mikey's face flushed a bright red. "I was not!" he whined, crossing his arms in a childish pout. His statement was proven true by the hacking cough that followed it.

"I believe you, Mikey," you said kindly before crawling out of bed. You visibly shivered in the open air, it really had been warm under the covers.

You smiled warmly at your sick friend, who was still laying in bed. "You get some rest Mikey, ill come back down tomorrow night to check on you, and ill make some more soup too"

Mikey beamed at the promise of food and another visit. But begrudgingly laid back in bed when he really wanted to see you home.

"I'll walk her home if it'll keep you in bed" Leo offered, leaning against the doorframe to Mikey's room.

"Really? Thanks, bro!" Mikey said with a cheery smile. "I'll see you tomorrow (Y/N),"

"See you tomorrow Mikey," you said as you left, walking with Leo out of the lair and into the sewer tunnels.

Leo seemed to smile knowingly as you walked through the tunnels. "You seem happy" he commented, raising a nonexistent eyebrow at you.

"Well, I am," you clarified, tossing a little sass into your voice.

"Any specific reason?" Leo sassed back, a sly smirk on his face.

You froze in place, then turned t face Leo, who had his arms folded across his chest.

You tried to find something to say, but you were at a loss for words.

"Maybe?"
