Setting: Sunday afternoon

Mikey's POV

Today was just one of those lazy days, ya know? Like when you and you and your friends just kind of chill, well it was just one of those days. I was just enjoying myself on the couch with a good book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and hanging out with my friend, and new roommate, Arthur. I was all curled up on the couch, with the book resting on my knees that were pulled up close to my chest. Hanging out with Arthur is always fun because he's one of those people who is relatively easy to be around. The others were all out doing other things today, so it's just Arthur and I. Denise and Mattheiu drove up to Flagstaff and went ice-skating, Alisha and Toni said something about a park and a movie, and who knows what Gil and Lanie are doing, I believe there was something about Graffiti? I honestly don't want to know, but if they end up in jail, I'm not saving them. Anyway, I doubt that any of them will be back anytime soon, so it's whatever.

Arthur and I were just being casual, doing casual things, until he opened his mouth and said something. "Say, Mikey, would you like some tea?" I wasn't sure, but I could've sworn he sounded nervous. I didn't know why, so I just casually brushed it off and said with a smile, "Yeah, I'd like that." He nodded, rose from the couch, and strolled into the kitchen. As soon as he was out of sight, my heart began to race. Why it was doing that, I have no clue. Maybe it was because I've had the biggest crush on him. Honestly, it's not that hard to believe, I mean really, we sleep in the same bed at night for crying out loud! I didn't notice that Arthur had walked back in until he was right in front of my face. "Here's your tea, love," he said handing me the warm mug. "Thanks," I replied as I took the mug. We sat there in more silence for a while. There was the occasional sipping of the tea, but other than that, nothing.

I was so absorbed in my book, that I didn't notice him staring at me. All I felt was someone watching me, so like a normal person; I looked up to find Arthur intently looking at me. "Uh, Arthur?" "Oh, I'm so sorry Mikey," he apologized. "It's just that you look so cute reading that book." "Okay then," I mumbled. More silence. I looked up at him every once in a while. I had to admit, he looked pretty good sitting over there. Then, he said something again. "Mikey, there's something I would ask you." I tried to act casual. "What's up bro?" Well, that didn't sound as cool as it did in my head, I thought, mentally kicking myself for that reply. "Well, you see… it's just that I… Um..," He started. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Mikey, I'm in love with you and want you to be my other half." I just stared at him.

What did he just say? Did he just say that he loves me? Oh my… This is the best day of my life, I thought excitedly. So many thoughts rushed through my mind that I felt like fainting. I must have stared at him for quite a while because he started to look embarrassed and uncomfortable. "It's okay if you don't love me back, I just needed to get it off my chest," he said. I just kept staring at him, out of pure shock. He liked me back, he returned my feelings; it feels so awesome. I was going to say something, but the words just wouldn't come. Then, more silence. The silence was crushing me, filling me with anticipation. Something changed on the British man's face. He went from a look of embarrassment to a look of determination. He must have made some kind of internal decision. He looked at me and moved closer to me. He ended right in front of me and removed the book from my hands. Then he leaned in close and before I knew it, his lips were on mine.

His lips were surprisingly soft and warm. I had literally been dreaming of this moment. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. The kiss was just a soft kiss, but there was so much passion behind it. We stayed like that for a good while, which I didn't mind. When he finally pulled away, I missed the warmth of his lips. I then finally found my voice again. "Arthur, I love you too. And I would be more than happy to be your other half." He smiled. "Thank you, love." We locked gazes and I could tell that he really did love me. It made me smile. I crawled over to him and laid my head in his lap. I smiled up at him as he played with my hair. We ended up putting in a sappy RomCom. It was a really great day until Alisha stormed in.

She slammed the door open and laughed like America does all the time. "Mikey, bby, I'm home," she said. "Alisha, bby, I'm home too," I replied. She rolled her eyes. "So what have you two been up to," she asked wiggling her eyebrows. "Oh, you know, the usual," I chuckled. "You know what we should do," Toni said. "What," I asked. "We should have a quadruple date, even though Lanie and Gil aren't a couple," he said. "Yet. They aren't a couple yet," Alisha corrected. We all laughed. "Sounds like a plan Toni," Arthur said. Toni and Alisha joined Arthur and I on the couch to watch the movie. "Ugh! What is this crap," Alisha complained. "It's called 'What's Your Number'," I answered. She just stuck her tongue out at me.

The Denise and Mattheiu came home later. Denise had a black eye. "The hell happened Denise," I asked. "She got into a fight with a girl who insulted me," Mattheiu said. "She deserved it! No one calls you weak and stupid and gets away with it," she defended. "Did you beat the crap out of the other girl," Alisha asked. "I'm curious." "Bro, I broke her nose and gave her two black eyes," Denise stated proudly. "Thank you for defending me," Mattheiu said. "I'd do anything for you."

Just then, Lanie and Gilbert burst through the door, out of breath. "What have you two been up to," Arthur asked. They just laughed. "Oh you know, graffietied some buildings, punched some thugs, the usual," Gilbert replied. "Best night ever," Lanie said between breaths. The two high fived each other and squished into the couch with the rest of us. "So about that quadruple date," Toni said. "What quadruple date," Denise asked. Mattheiu, Denise, Lanie, and Gilbert looked confused as the situation became awkward…
