you laughed as Mike pulled you to lay beside him on the bed, almost immediately wrapping his arms around you and pushing you flat against his bare chest. his cologne smelt of a summers day, his cheeks were flush as freshly picked strawberries, and his thumb felt soft and moist as it caressed your cheek gently.

“ My family isn’t here for once. So now, we can be close. “ he laughed, nuzzling into you. internalized homophobia was normal. not many were fond of the idea of two men being together, but you two made it work.

“ Yeah… but- what if someone walks in..? “ you asked, raising a brow in concern. he brought his head up, having a reassuring smile on his face. “ That won’t happen. I promise. “ he responded “ And I’ll make sure of it.

he nuzzled back into you, and you just let him, inhaling the scent of his hair, which he then chuckled upon realization. everything seemed to be going fine. you were too teenagers having your private time together.

but.. then something happens. Nancy came home early, and Mike didn’t know or hear it, and neither did you. as Mike was sweet talking you, running a hand through your hair, and teasing you, the door opens.

although thank god Nancy didn’t come home early. it was Robin, a proud lesbian. she wasn’t surprised, just smirked, and closed the door. “ All good here! “ she called.

Mike looked back at you, his face completely red, as he sighed. “ Why do we even try.. “ and to that of which you laughed at, and he rolled his eyes.
