Okay so the last chapter didn't really have much going so I'm hoping this will add a bit more depth to it.

Enjoy

It was 1:30am and all the lights had been switched off in the building. Mike had to stretch his hands out and feel along the walls to find his way to his apartment. He must have stubbed his toe about five times now as he tripped upon the unnoticeable step in his way. A silent yelp was all he made, knowing that if he was too loud then a neighbor would wake up, or worse, Sulley would wake up.

The last thing the cyclops wanted was for the big monster to find him coming home this late, especially as he just spent the night with his girlfriend.

Finally he made it to the top floor and found himself standing outside of their apartment. His hand slowly reached out to the doorknob, but instantly retracted. From the crack beneath the door, he noticed a light was still on inside, which could only mean that either someone had broken in and decided to switch the light on, or Sulley was still up. Oh how he wished it was the first one.

He had nothing but guilt written all over him, he was no where near ready to face his roommate yet, what could he even say? Sulley wasn't an idiot, despite first impressions, he would know that there is nothing innocent with being this late home, not after the evening he just had anyway.

He didn't plan it though, nothing was planned. All he wanted to do was go to the show and then go home... but it was just too hard. He waited for her to show up and when she did... he had completely forgotten how beautiful she was. She had tied her snakes back, wore a green shirt and blue skirt. The tickets were already in her hand and she just smiled at him.

It felt so natural to be with her, to buy her snacked at the store, to walk her to their seats, enjoy every single moment of the famous Broadway show Screaming In The Rain. He should have ended it there though. Once the show was over he should have just said goodbye and left it at that, but instead of calling her a taxi, he took her arm and walked her to The Hidden City cafe where all they did was talk about anything they could think of. They had completely lost track of time, even when the cafe owner kicked them out at closing time and Mike had walked Celia home.

It felt so good just be with her, but that was it, it felt too good and not in a pal way either. There was no excuse he could think of, no way around it, they had gone on a date. He liked her and he knew she liked him back, at least he assumed so, especially as when he had walked her to her house he had lingered a little saying goodbye and then turned to leave, only for the tall thin cyclops to chase after him, grab his arms and threw herself down onto his lips. Nothing stopped him from leaving after that.

Mike sighed heavily, thinking back to his stupid mistake. He pushed her away when realising what was happening, he knew it was wrong and there was no way he could do it to his best friend... but just one look into her confused and embarrassed face and he had made up his mind, as he put it "The hell with Sulley!" before pulling her down to his level and kissing her once again.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now not so much.

He couldn't put this off anymore though, with a deep breath Mike opened the door to his apartment and walked inside. He found Sulley still in the same place he was when he left him hours ago, by the window painting the walls. Only he had moved on to a different job, now he was messing around with the windows themselves putting up some blinds. The cyclops looked around the entire room, and sure enough the big monster had plastered, painted and even made a few shelves that still needed to be put up.

He had done a lot in the hours he had, he hadn't even noticed the cyclops come home.

Seeing this as an advantage, Mike slowly tip toed along the room towards his bedroom. He was however spotted as his foot stepped onto a loose floorboard which made a large squeak.

"Hey buddy, you're back early" the bigger monster said when looking over his shoulder at the sudden noise, only to see his friend. Mike however looked like a dear caught in headlights, "I-I am?" he questioned, wondering what the other was meaning. "Yeah I thought you'd be gone longer, what time is it?" Sulley asked, quickly turning back to his work for a moment.

When realizing his advantage, Mike quickly swiped his hand out to the digital clock resting on a small work table that read 1:30am and threw it into the trash. He smiled widely, "Why it's only 9:00, we didn't stay out long" he chuckled nervously.

"Huh, I didn't realize, so how did your date go?" Sulley teased in a happy voice and turning back to his fried, however he seemed oblivious to the stunned look on the cyclops face. "It wasn't a date, nothing happened!" Mike shouted defenselessly while crossing his arms, his eye gazing at anything that wasn't his roommate.

Sulley raised his brow, "Relax I was just kidding. Sorry you had to spend the whole night with her" he shrugged.

"That did not happen, nothing happened!" Mike yelled back even louder this time, taking a threatening step forward and glaring angrily. Sulley raised up his hands, "Woaw take it easy Mike. Boy was the show that bad or something?" he asked, completely taken back by his friends behavior.

Mike paused and just took a moment to think. He quickly calmed down and looked away feeling sheepish. "No the show was fine, I'm just tired that's all" he replied. Sulley laughed to himself quietly, "She keep you up talking huh?" he asked, to which Mike just shrugged. "I guess you got a lot done huh?" the cyclops asked, wanting more then anything to change the topic.

Sulley stood high and proud of his work, "Yep, just needs a little more work then we can start getting some real furniture, no more sleeping on boxes" he joked. Mike attempted to smile, but found it hard. With nothing more he could think of to say, the cyclops clapped his hands together, "Well I guess I'm gonna turn in for the ni-"

"Mike wait, what's wrong with your mouth?" the big monster asked when suddenly noticing a large red stain on his friends face. Mike, almost panicing now, raised his finger to his lips and then looked down to see he had Celia's lipstick smeared all over his face. With his eye wide and full of worry, he laughed awkwardly and tried to smile with innocence, "Oh y-yes, that... Umm... T-There was chilly at the show! Yeah, who knew you could buy a pot of chilly at a theater, right? Boy I just couldn't resist, I must of got like five pots or something, unfortunately they were a little too spicy, heh. Kinda burnt myself you know, boy it was hot" he rambled, moving around the room a little and making a bit of a scene, hoping it was convincing enough.

To his surprise, it was. "Seriously? You can get pot's of chilly there? Why didn't you bring me some? I love chilly" Sulley complained, while sounding somewhat happy though.

Mike tapped his fingers along his face, taking a moment just to think of his next excuse, "Sorry buddy, I didn't think" he answered, and with some truth as well, "Besides I don't think you would have liked it that much, now when I say hot, I mean hot. It sure was embarrassing with Celia being there" he laughed again, looking down a little.

Sulley chuckled lightly, "Yeah I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have put her off" he muttered. Mike suddenly froze for a second before looking his roommate dead in the eye, "What do you mean by that?"

As if still not fully realizing what he had said, Sulley chuckled to himself more and shrugged to himself, "Well come on, I mean no offense buddy but I doubt a little hot sauce is gonna 'ruin your chances' shall we put it" he said playfully. The cyclops however was not seeing the fun side of it as he crossed over his arms and stared at the other monster like he was interrogating him, "And what would you say is 'ruining my chances'?" he asked while quoting with his fingers.

Now, suddenly feeling the tension, Sulley started fiddling on the spot, not really sure on how to answer, "Well you know" he laughed, only for Mike to raise his brow, "Look seriously, no offense but I just don't see her ever being interested... in a guy like you."

"A guy like me?" the cyclops repeated.

"I mean don't get me wrong, you're a great guy and you'll find someone, but you know, not someone whose that hot is all I'm saying" he defended, now just trying to be as sensitive as possible. Mike was not feeling the affection though as he tried to hide his anger and annoyance as best as he could, "So basically you're saying she's out of my league?" he asked accusingly.

"Well I mean don't take it personally, I just saying that she's beautiful, popular, and you're just... well you know, short and a bit nerdy, that's all. You'd be better of with a book worm kinda girl instead of the prom queen" Sulley explained, rubbing the back of his neck before smiling friendly as if he had just solved all their problems.

Mike's eye twitched for a moment and he froze angrily, then out of no where he clasped his hands together and smiled with delight, "You know what Sull, I think you're right. Besides it's not like I even want Celia, as you say she's too much of a 'prom queen' for me" he said cheerfully while quoting once again, sounding a lot smoother then before.

Sulley breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, glad you're not mad then, felt a bit awkward then. Up top" he invited, holding up his hand to which Mike high- fived. "No problem pal, glad you were honest. Like I said though, it's been a long night so I'm going to bed" he smiled friendly before turning away and going to his room.

Before closing his door, he head Sully yell a goodnight to him before shutting him out of sight. When he was completely alone, the smile from Mike's face instantly transformed into a snarl as he knocked over a near by box. "Thinks I'm only good for book worm huh? Thinks he so perfect this his big arms and fangs and stupidly tall height" he mumbled to himself as he walked to the other side of his room to grab a cloth to wipe his face with. When any trace of lipstick was gone, he went straight to his mobile that rested on his bed. He picked it up and then scrolled through his contacts until he found the right name. In a sudden spur of the moment, he did something he promised himself that he would never do. He sent a text.

'Hey Celia, it's Mike.

Do you want to go out again this Thursday?'
