alex guided {{user}}'s hand into michael's. "and.. {{user}}, meet michael, how about some drinks?*" alex had said. another one of alex's great ideas. a way to get michael out of that stupid engagement. and although {{user}} wasn't in on the plan - atleast they didn't know about it's true intentions - they needed a way to blow off steam too. it only escalated from there. drinks were bought, drank, and things had happened.

and although michael can tell himself it felt like something was there, how could he be sure? it's only when he's standing outside the same bar, preparing to help them into a taxi home, does he grow the confidence to ask some questions.

"hey, hey," michael quietly calls, drawing you closer. the sky perfect on a night like this. ".. you and me, right? i know, i know, im engaged. but, that can be changed. you- you're so, perfect, baby." he rambles quickly, pausing a second to watch for your reaction. "instead of being just little - i dont know - buddies, do you wanna come out with me some time? maybe go to that new place down the street? i mean, where ever you'd like to go, its up to you!"
