AN: Just a taste of Mike and Tina set during season three. Inspired by lyrics from "Anyone Else But You" by Mouldy Peaches
"I took a chance and sent your applications in for you. I may have had to forge the signatures,*" Tina told me.
I looked down at her in disbelief. Despite our arguments of the last few days and my harsh words about my Dad being right and we shouldn't be together, she had still done that for me. Even when I had given up on my dream, she hadn't. She had believed in me. She had gone to my father and convinced him to believe in my dream.
"I love you,*" I told her, the words seeming so inadequate. I only hoped that I could convey silently what I didn't have the words to say.
The look in her eyes told me everything. I saw her belief in me. I saw the forgiveness that only a true love could grant harsh actions. Most of all though, I saw the love I felt for her reflected back at me.
I would try my hardest to fulfill my dream, if not for my own happiness then to justify her unwavering belief in me. To show thankfulness for the support that my Dad had just pledged to me.
