Michael frowned watching Jeremy gaze at Christine from across the hallway. The two were emptying their lockers so that they could head to their classes. Jeremy sighed, wondering how exactly he had fallen for her and why she had wanted to date Jake of all people. Of course Jeremy was over it by now but he couldn't just go walking around, telling the world that he was gay. And why Christene of all people? Of course she was nice and decent looking sure, but she wasn't completely there and she loved theatre more than anything else in the world. Sure, the SQUIP had messed him up, but apparently, they show up as the gender that you are most attracted to so that's why his was a friggin guy. Jeremy turned slightly and saw the sad little frown that sat on Michael's face as he glared lightly at Christene.

"Hey Michael?" Jeremy placed his hand on said boy's arm causing Michael to flush slightly.

"What's up Jeremy?' Michael grinned, but it was a sort of sad grin, like how someone grins at a young exuberant child during Christmas, when the only thing that you want to do is sleep for at least five more hours and not have to worry about life.

"Why?- Why do you look so sad now? Why don't you like Christine?" Michael froze, the smile slipping slightly,

"What do you mean that I don't like Christene?" His caramel coloured orbs darted to the said girl who was laughing with Jake.

"I don't- I don't not like her, it's nothing, I just," He paused before shaking his head, "It's nothing bro. Don't worry about it." This caused Jeremy to frown and he straightened slightly, looking into Michael's deep eyes.

"Don' lie to me." Michael looked away from Jeremy's serious gaze.

"Well, err, how do you tell someone that you are in love with them?" He blurted the last bit awkwardly, but thankfully remained unnoticed by other the students and teachers. Jeremy raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean Michael? That's sort of random to ask." Michael flushed quietly and looked at his red sneakers, fidgeting nervously in place.

"It's just that.. I, umm, IjustreallyreallyreallylikeyouJeremyandIthinkthatI'minlovewithyoucauseIhavebeenforawhileandI'mGaysopleasedon'thateme." He finally squeaked out the end of his sentence in a rushed breath, startling Jeremy a little bit.

"Wait… what?" Jeremy blinked slowly trying to process what Michael had just said. A few things ended up sticking out to him though- 'I'm in love with you.' "Wait, you're in love with me?" Jeremy mumbled, causing Michael's cheeks to darken as he nodded furiously.

"Yeah, kinda sorta maybe." Jeremy looked at Michael, who finally met his light greenish eyes. Michael pushed up his glasses and turned away, but his arm was grabbed by Jeremy. A startled squeak escaped his lips.

"Wait, Michael… I'm in love with you too." Michael froze before a grin split across his face.

"You're gay too? Ohmigod that's amazing bro.!" He squealed, brown eyes sparkling. He quickly tugged Jeremy's arm and began leading him away. "Come on bro, we gotta celebrate, maybe we can get a slushie, or we can get stoned in my basement! This calls for video games, bro…" He was quiet for a second, before he turned to Jeremy,

"Wait are we dating now?" Jeremy smiled

"If you want to be…"

"Yes! I'm so excited! Come on Jeremy!"
