So much writers block, I wanna do so much for this story, but kinda feel like it's gonna be too long if I do :/
I now it doesn't have that many fans, probably due to the fact I'm a rubbish write and struggle to spell properly, but I don't really want to bore the few fans I do have. So now, because I can't think of much else to write after the last chapter I've unfortunately had to resort to this story technique, didn't really plan on this happening either, but what else can I do.
So I hope you enjoy the story how it goes.
On another note I've updated the last chapter a bit, just changed the wording a bit in some places and I should be doing that with the other chapters as soon as I get my laptop back.
Thanks and enjoy x
Everything in his life had changed from that first date in the bowling alley, the date that was supposed to be his best friend's. He felt it was one of the best nights of his life, but then so did Sulley, who figured he had a real shot at this girl. Mike remembered who she was supposed to be there for, and as the weeks past by she had continuously agreed to the countless invitations Sulley offered her, whether Mike was there or not, which luckily for him, most of the times he was. It was three weeks later and Celia had came to the factory to visit the two after School, she had come after Sulley phoned her up, cheering about the new promotion the two lads had finally received.
No longer were they suffering with the unpleasant job that belonged to the catering team, but they were now Can Wranglers, a title they both took pride with. The job involved the two working with the scream cans that got used on the Scare floor, they were in charge with organizing and distributing the cans, sometimes even delivering the can's to the Scare floor itself.
Their jobs were amazing and Celia had wanted to congratulate them in person, the memory however was still vivid and painful enough for Mike to remember as if it was just two hours ago. Celia had came to the factory, but not alone, she had brought her entourage, a group of teenage girls who giggled annoyingly and teased the beautiful cyclops as they waited by the main reception.
Mike hadn't wanted to embarrass her, not in front of her friends who were clearly swooning over the big monster he lived with, but... he wanted to see her so badly.
Raising his arm high, waving slightly, he had called her name, almost expecting her to simply ignore him, he wasn't sure why though or where this sudden lack of trust came from?
But despite what he expected, it wasn't what he got. Celia had heard and looked at him, her smile couldn't be wider as she ran to him, forgetting that her now confused friends were even there and ready to judge. This was the part of the memory that he could stand, the part that wasn't painful for him. He could recall as she nearly fell to her knees just to reach him, stretching her arms around him as best as she could and burying her head on top of his.
She hadn't cared that her friends were now staring, or that they were talking, laughing or whatever, nor did he think she would even start to care what they would have to say to her afterwards. She just squeezed him once more before pulling away, but leaving her hands gripped on his shoulders. Her smile was just amazing to him, and that beautiful eye of hers was making his heart beat faster then what was normal.
There was only one thing in Mike's life that he had wanted so badly, he only ever had one dream in his life that he devoted himself too, had refused to give up on and let his mind become possessed with obsession. He had wanted to be a Scarer, but that dream was destroyed in front of his own eye. Ever since that day, the day he got expelled from Monsters University, he had promised himself he was never going to go through that kind of pain again, he was never going to let himself want or wish for anything that big ever again, he was now a slave to concentrating on the now, on the present. Getting a job, moving out, staying with his friend. That was all he was allowing himself to have.
But now that she was here, now that he had Celia in his arms, it was more then he had ever imagined. His hands were resting on her slender waist, and their faces were mere inches away. All of his feelings, his hopes and ambitions came flooding back in a matter of seconds, despite pushing them away for years. He had the same feeling that he had when he held the Scaring Trophy after thinking he had won the Scare Games, the feeling of victory washing all over him. In his mind he could hear the crowds cheering once again, everyone cheering his name in celebration as the most perfect girl he had ever seen in his life started to lean closer into him, her lips pressing together more and more the closer she got.
His fraternity brothers were holding him high in the air as she came so close to him, her lips were practically against his. This time he had made it though, this time without cheating. He was the winner and he had truly earned his prize.
Which made the memory even more gut wrenching for him as he didn't even see it coming.
Sulley had showed up once again with an arrogant smirk on his face and pulled the surprised Celia up from the ground, away from Mike's arms, and then stole a hug from her. She could only glance at the cyclops guiltily as he watched his best friend hold the girl of his dreams tightly and possessively. However there was nothing she felt she could do, she returned the hug with less enthusiasms and congratulated him also on the promotion, but what was just a friendly gesture to her had been seen as an opening to him. He had secured her face in his hand and forced his lips onto hers.
The Scare Dummy had woken up.
From that moment on, Mike had nothing to do with her.
Sulley made them an official couple, proudly introducing her as his girl. Everywhere they went they held hands, and if not then Sulley had his huge paws resting happily around her waist. Mike didn't go with them on their dates anymore, after that moment he hadn't spoken one word to Celia and he hadn't been so involved with his roommate either.
When the blue monster came home after his dates he would always do the same, fall down onto the old couch they bought not so long ago, kicked his feet up and rambled on about how lucky he was. He never seemed to notice when Mike would just randomly leave. He didn't even know where he was going, he would just get up, walk away and hope to go somewhere nice.
Usually the pub, however tonight was different. Tonight was definitely different!
It had been three months now, and for the past few weeks Sulley hadn't been out on dates or anything. He mostly ignored his phone, leaving it to ring.
His ringtone however was driving Mike insane. The small round monster threw his bedroom door open and glared at the larger monster before him, his fists balled together tightly as he marched forward.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? She's called you five times now!" he yelled angrily while gesturing to the ringing phone.
Sulley didn't seem to even notice though, he didn't loose his focus for a second and carried on painting the walls. "Sorry Mikey, but my hands are kind of dirty" he smiled, finally stopping his work and showing the other monster his paint covered hands.
Mike had to admit, even though he could hardly look at Sulley anymore, he was grateful the other monster had decided to become so handy. He had started fixing up the apartment which was a big relief, but then decided to leave it unfinished when he started dating Celia. It was at that point that Mike had to take over, which he knew was a bad idea to begin with as he didn't have a clue what he was doing. If anything he probably made the apartment worse.
So a few months later, when Sulley had picked up a screwdriver and had started to work again, Mike was ecstatic... and confused.
Things had started to become clear though when Sulley started using the apartment as an excuse to get out of dates with Celia, and this was something that ticked Mike off more then anything else, because why steal her away if he didn't even want her?
"Sull, that is not good enough" he stated, plane and simply, "You promised Celia you were gonna take her to this show for ages, you said she was really excited about it."
"I'm sorry okay, but there's too much to do" the monster replied whilst slumping his shoulders, almost as if he was sulking over the matter. It was short lived though as he suddenly got defensive under his roommates scolding look, "I thought you didn't even like her" he snapped before going back to his work.
This stuck something deep in Mike as he backed down a little, for the first time he had no idea what to say or how to respond. So he did the only thing his mind would tell him to do, ramble. "I-I-I-I d-don't like her... I-I mean, I do like her, not like like her obviously, that would be weird as she's y-your girlfriend... is she? Of course she is! You know I forgot who we were talking about, who are we talking about again?" he finished by crossing his arms and grinning nervously.
Sulley stared for a moment, raising his brow in suspicion, but decided to shrug it off.
There was once again a strange silence that they had become slightly used to lately, due to recent events. Usually it would lead to Mike going to his room or Sulley getting back to work, this would actually have been the case had the phone not started to ring again.
They both turned and watched as it buzzed around noisily, neither one made a move towards it though.
Mike just found himself sighing tiredly, so now it was six times she had called. Yet he knew there was no way he could answer that phone, despite how much he wanted too. "Sulley please, I am begging you to answer that phone, it's giving me a headache" he complained as he pulled on the brow of his eye, his roommates ringtone sounded like a cat being put through a blender, but even he knew that that wasn't what was really bothering him.
Sulley rolled his eyes and blew air from his sealed lips, even he was getting annoyed now and he couldn't ignore her all night. He reached his hand out towards the still ringing phone and picked it up, his finger hovered over the answer button.
Suddenly the monster froze as an idea formed in his head, along with the big grin on his face officially feeling like a genius.
"Here, tell her I'm sick" he laughed, throwing the phone towards the smaller monster. Mike had to think fast, not just to catch the phone but to understand what his friend was asking him to do, "What? Are you crazy?" he shouted before throwing the phone back to which the other caught with one hand.
"No it's perfect, you tell her I'm sick then everything's fine! I don't have to go to a boring show and Celia won't be mad at me" he smiled, still seeing no flaws in his plan.
"And what does Celia get out of it? You told me she's been waiting to see this play for months, how can you be so selfish?" Mike snapped back, there was no way he was going to help the big monster get off easily. Seeing that his roommate wasn't going to give in easily, Sulley threw his head back in annoyance and groaned loudly, "Well if you're so concerned about it why don't you go with her?" he said sarcastically.
Mike opened his mouth to shout something back but found that no words had come out, nothing that he thought he wanted to say anyway. Now he was really thinking about what Sulley had just suggested, him go to the show with Celia instead of Sulley... and have it be just him and her... alone.
As it turned out, despite it being just a simple joke, Sulley had also thought the suggestion over as well and was now smiling at his new idea. "There we go, it's perfect, tell her I'm sick then you take my ticket and go in my place, what could go wrong?" he said to himself, loving the idea more and more with every word that left his mouth while ignoring the sudden protests Mike put up.
"No no no no no no no no no NO! I am not taking your place- Agh!" the smaller monster cried after Sulley answered the phone call but quickly threw the now active phone to the panicked Mike. He struggled to keep it secure in his hands as he caught it, but when getting his grip he placed it to the side of his head and whispered a shy hello.
"Mike? Is that you?" he heard a sweet little voice call out from the other end.
"Ugh... Yes, hi, this is Mike... Umm, listen there's been a light change of plans..." The nervous monster explained akwardly, knowing that his last statement had more meaning then one.
