Chapter twelve:
The doctor comes in looking over the files and looks up. "Greetings. I am Doctor Patly." He introduces himself. "You are here to see if Michael can fly correct?"
"That is correct." Geoff confirms.
Doctor Patly puts the file down on the small counter. "This probably won't take long at all." He says and goes over starting his examination of Michael with his stethoscope.
Gavin and Geoff wait a little away from the two for Michael to get the all clear or well they at least hope that he does.
Doctor Patly finally steps back after a little of checking Michael and turns with a smile. "He's all good to fly."
Gavin smiles and goes over to Michael. "You hear that Micool! You're clear to fly."
Michael chuckles softly. "Yeah I heard." He confirms.
Geoff nods and opens his phone texting Jack the news that they will be flying back tomorrow.
The three leave the doctors office after that.
"Hey. Know any good places to get something to eat? I think this calls for a celebration." Geoff says with a smile as he glances to Michael in the rear view mirror as he drives.
"Well in the next right turn there is a nice Cafe." Michael suggests.
"Ok." Geoff nods and moves into the correct lane to turn.
Michael turns to Gavin. "And the others?" He asks something he wanted to ask before but ended up not asking though now that they'll be return soon the question has appeared back in his mind.
"Only the achievement hunters know." Gavin says. "We had to say something because we were staying longer."
Michael nods and leans against Gavin. "I'm actually kind of glad I won't have to explain." He says and his eyes flutter shut lightly.
Gavin puts an arm around Michael's shoulders.
"This one?"
Michael opens his eyes and looks to the cafe that Geoff is moving slowly by. "Yup. That's the one." He confirms.
Geoff finds a nearby parking lot and pulls in parking in a good spot. "Ok!" He turns off the car and everyone unbuckles their seat belts before getting out of the car.
They head to where the cafe is with Gavin on Michaels right and Geoff on Michaels left.
"Are you excited to get back to work?" Gavin asks Michael curiously.
Michael turns to look to him. "Actually yeah I kind of am."
"That's good to hear." Geoff comments.
"What kind of ridiculous thing do you think will happen when we get back?" Michael asks glancing to Geoff.
Geoff can't help but laugh slightly. "Who the fuck knows!" He says smiling. "It could be anything." He points out. "This is Rooster Teeth we are talking about! Not to mention the Achievement hunters mostly." He slightly waves his hands in the air as he speaks as if to emphasize what it is he saying.
Michael and Gavin chuckle at this as Geoff lowers his arms.
"True true." Michael says in agreement. "I guess we will find out when we get there."
"Yes." Gavin says in agreement.
"Table for three?" A waitress asks as they arrive.
"That is correct." Geoff confirms.
"Alright. Right this way." The waitress leads them over to a table and they settle down basically like how they were walking but this time at a round café table. She sets the small menus down then heads off to let them decide what they want.
"Alright so how about that game papers please? Have you ever tried it?" Gavin asks Michael and Geoff.
"Yeah." Michael says. "It's definitely interesting game. It's kind of simple yet rather good."
"It can get really complicated though." Geoff adds. "Especially when they add and add rules on and on so you don't go as fast as before. You get less people checked."
"Yeah it's in a way realistic like that." Michael says.
"I think that the secret society is actually really creepy." Gavin says. "They freaked me out."
"Maybe they were meant to freak you out." Michael offers as an idea.
"Maybe." Gavin nods.
They begin discussing whether the secret society was evil or actually in the right in what they had been doing only pausing to order what it is that they want before resuming. Eventually the topic drifted off to the weirdest achievements that they have ever gotten in video games. Pretty much the topic was just video games the whole time that they were there at the cafe.
The whole day Gavin and Geoff did a good job of keeping Michael relaxed and happy even having fun themselves of course.
The next day…..
They have just boarded the plan and are sitting down at their seats.
Gavin got the seat next to Michael and Geoff is across from them.
Michael leans back relaxing in the seat closing his eyes for a moment.
Gavin glances past Michael to glance out of the window for a few moments checking out the airports space that he can see. "I can just imagine us playing GTA V and running around the airport to try to steal planes right about now."
Michael laughs. "Man that would be interesting." He opens his eyes and slightly looks to Gavin only slightly tilting his head and mostly moving his eyes to do so. "But if we were in this airport in the game then there wouldn't really be anything that would be worth stealing with it being just planes to carry people like this one."
"Maybe if the plane was a Pokémon plane. They do exist!" Gavin adds.
Michael looks slightly thoughtful and nods. "Yeah true. Then we would get to ride in video game style."
The two then laugh at this.
In what feels like no time they are in the air heading back to Austin Texas.
For the first bit Gavin and Michael talked while Geoff decided to watch a movie then about halfway Michael ended up falling asleep after looking out the window for a little bit. So Gavin started his own movie.
After arriving at Austin Texas Michael and Gavin end up heading to Michael's place to hang out.
Geoff left to go get some rest at his own place.
Gavin and Michael lay on the couch dealing the jetlag for a little while just having a random movie, Halloween, just playing in the background.
"Thank you…."
Gavin glances to Michael who isn't facing him fully but just enough that Gavin can see that he is smiling softly.
"Thank you for everything Gavin." Michael tells him even though he had thanked them when at the Austin Texas airport before Geoff drove them to Michael's place.
Gavin reaches over and gently ruffles the others hair gently. "Don't worry about it boi."
Michael closes his eyes softly smiling a little more.
Gavin glances outside and sees that it is dark making him think about time flying. He blinks in surprise as his phone vibrates and he takes it out of his pocket to look to the text from Geoff. He smiles as an idea comes to him and he quickly texts back before shoving it into his pocket. He sits up causing Michael to turn to look to him. "Can we go onto the roof?" He asks.
"Um yeah sure." Michael agrees also getting up.
"Great. I'll meet you up there." Gavin heads off somewhere leaving Michael standing there as he wonders just what Gavin is planning.
Michael heads to go onto the roof using a ladder out back climbing up it onto the roof. He settles on the slanted part though he is still able to stay on the roof. He glances to the night sky where a waning crescent moon is in the sky surrounded by a blanket of stars. He almost jumps when someone sits behind him with their legs on either side of his hips to let them stretch out. He feels a blanket wrap around him alongside a pair of arms and he glances back finding a smiling Gavin who is holding a beige and red plaid blanket around the both of them. He smiles back and cuddles more into him happily.
Gavin glances to the sky. "Micool. Micool! Look!"
Michael opens his eyes and turns to the sky only to blink in surprise as a meteor shower begins. "Wow." He gasps in amazement as he watches it with Gavin. "This is fucking beautiful!"
"Not as beautiful as you but yes beautiful." Gavin lays the underside of his chin on Michael's left shoulder as they continue to watch the meteor shower.
Michael can't help the pink softly dusting his cheeks when Gavin says this.
Michael's P.O.V.
I've always known that I'm in love with Gavin. I have been for awhile… I've just worried that he wouldn't return my feelings… even now that worry still lingers in the back of my mind. I try to push those thoughts out of my mind to just enjoy the meteor shower for now. I'll worry about that shit later.
No one's P.O.V.
When the meteor shower ended the two stayed there on the roof for a little longer before heading back inside to get some rest.
