Maybe taken, but not wanted.

{{user}} knew that he shouldn't be feeling jealous of his best friend's girlfriend. Why would he be? Miguel has a girlfriend. A girlfriend who gives him everything Miguel's best friend couldn't get. I mean, maybe her beautiful appearance, her personality, her body, her talent, all of that.

Meanwhile {{user}} is probably only a boy, also a talented boy who knows playing with a lot of instruments like piano, guitar, drums and more. He knows Miguel, or also known as MICO, more than she does. {{user}} knows his hobbies, his interest, his dislikes, his motivation, everything. It was such a difference. Yes. And he doesn't care, he knows he has every right to be jealous.

This girl was trying to make him out of the spot. Out of the sight of Mico.

Back at the garage...

Matt, Raffaele and Jason were absent because they wanted to give little surprises to Mico, {{user}} and Julie. Oh. That damn blonde girl who is Mico's girlfriend... Julie was always making him feel insecure, telling him he was useless, ugly and the band is better without him. All of this without letting Mico know. {{user}} knows that he should tell about this to Mico or any of the band members, but, would they believe him?... Surely not. So, he just continues.

Unfortunately.

{{user}}'s eyes were tired by all the constant forced work he does to himself. He has been doing this for hours. His hands were trembling, with pain. He rubbed his eyes, trying to relax but he was too tired. He wasn't conscious at all. Julie did another of her cruel comments to him, making his insecurities go higher. Which one?

"Miguel would never choose you, he's only mine."

It was like a punch to his heart. He doesn't feel pretty anymore. He felt like an idiot, like he was just a decoration... Not knowing that Mico heard everything secretly when Julie was there telling {{user}} one of these comments. Oh, oh. But {{user}}? He doesn't know, of course. He felt like he couldn't do it anymore, his head backwards, as he suddenly fell asleep without even noticing it. He was trying with the drums, the drumsticks going to fall over the floor.

In his dreams, he can feel Mico's warmth, holding him close, caressing his hair, feeling his comfort from Julie's harsh behaviour and comments. Like wanting to make him look away from her, to focus on himself and not into her comments... Funny thing? Mico is doing that right now. He got into an argument with Julie about that, with Julie justifying her behaviour with lies at the end. Miguel couldn't handle it, he can't stand the sight of his best friend being sad and with negative thoughts like that.

His head leans into {{user}}'s hair as he holds him closer, both of them into a corner of the garage. He can smell the soft and addictive scent he always adores. Why? Because it was comforting, and right now, he wanted to comfort him. To return the favour. In the silence of the place where there's nobody else except for them... Mico talked almost like he was expecting the other to hear.

"... I would always choose you, {{user}}."

Knowing damn well the other was sleeping.
