Chapter 35

Michael's POV:

My eyes flicker open.
My alarm sounds like it's drilling into my brain and I repeatedly hit my phone to try and turn it off. It stops so I guess hitting it worked.
I sigh.
The day finally arrived. We are graduating high school today.
Jeremy obviously hasn't woken up to the alarm so I nudge him. He must have just drifted off again because he wakes up easily.

"Hi"
"Hey"

I check the time. We have time to spare so I curl up to Jeremy.

"Graduation day"
"Don't. I still can't believe it's happening"
"I know. It's scary"
"You know high school might have literally been hell but that doesn't change the fact that I'm so fucking proud of you Michael"

I smile
"Thank you. You don't know how proud I am of you"
"What have I done. I was a dick for almost an entire year"
"Jeremy your grades have sky rocketed, you recovered from the squip, even when it came back. You got rid of it without me"
"I guess. But you've done so much more than me"
"It's not about how much we've done. It's how you did it"

I feel him run his fingers through my hair and just lie there quietly (queerly- for you i_need_a_squip_ 😂)
It's such a cute moment. Nothing could break it.
Except my alarm that I must have snoozed rather than turned off.

"SHITTING HELL"
"TURN OFF THE SIREN"

I hit my phone again and pray it's turned off. I double check and yes thank god it's off.
I laugh softly

"Well that really broke the moment"
"Definitely"

I sit up.

"Come on let's get ready"

I look over to where mine and Jeremy's graduation gowns and caps hang.
My stomach flips. I really don't wanna do this.
I feel Jeremy take my hand.

"We can do it. Come on"

He gets up and gets our outfits. He hands me mine.
I take a deep breath.
As I start walking to the bathroom Jeremy rushes past me

"Me first!"

I run after him but he slams the door shut

"You dick!"

I hear him laughing so I give up and go and lie on my back on my bed.
Jeremy seriously takes his time. About half an hour later he comes back in. I sit up.

"About time- woah"

He looks fucking stunning.

"What?"
"Nothing I- you just look amazing!"

It's a classic graduation outfit but something about Jeremy wearing it just makes it so much cuter.
He blushes bright red

"Thank you. Now go get dressed so I can fangirl over you"

I smile and head into the bathroom. I shower pretty quickly and then face putting on the outfit.
It takes me a minute but I look at myself in the mirror.
It shocks me. I mean to me I look a fucking state. But it's the best I can do. I reposition my cap and go back into my bedroom. I just start sorting some stuff out on my desk but realise Jeremy is staring at me. I turn to him.

"Am I wearing something wrong"
"No just- I was joking about fangirling but holy shit Michael"

Ohhh that's why he was staring.

"Careful. We don't want another problem Jeremy"

God I love messing with him.
He goes bright red.
