Michael woke up when he heard his phone buzzing. And buzzing again. And again.
Whoever it might be, it’s obvious they were desperate for an answer. Michael took his phone, squinting at the sudden light. Three messages from Rich.

Michael took his glasses and got up to turn on the lights.

Rich the Bicon
Last seen today, 3:08am
Michael sat on the edge of his bed, waiting. What’s so urgent he needs to talk to me this late?
A few moments later, Rich climbed through the window, breathing deeply. “Hey. Sorry for the short notice.”
“You’re.. You’re trembling.”
“Nice to see you too, Mikey.” He closed the window, taking a deep breath.
Michael patted the place next to him and Rich moved closer, sitting down. “But seriously, man, what’s wrong? You’re shaking and you’re not usually awake at 3am. C’mon, tell me what happened.” He wrapped a hand around Rich, careful to not make him uncomfortable. He didn’t know what was wrong, so he hoped he wasn’t making it worse.
Rich moved closer to Michael, relaxing a bit under his touch. “Just… Give me a moment, okay?”
“Okay. No worries, man.”
They sat in silence for a while, Michael gently rubbing Rich’s back while the other boy collected his thoughts. He closed his eyes and leaned on Michael’s shoulder, letting him have a better look at his face.
Rich looked exhausted. The skin around his eyes and nose was red and puffy, the bags under his eyes looked worse than ever and his hair was messy.
On the other hand, this might just be because of the climbing.
Michael started humming quietly, hoping it will help Rich relax. And to some extent, it did - he still looked pretty terrible, but he wasn’t as tense and the trembling has almost stopped. After some time Rich opened his eyes, taking a deep breath. “Okay. I think I’m better now.” Michael nodded and was about to answer when Rich shook his head. “Nope. No. Nevermind, I take that back.”
Michael looked at him, worried. “Wha-”
“No no no no please stop caring oh my God it’s making it worse.”
“Making what worse, Rich? I- Am I doing something wrong?”
Rich shook his head again, quicker this time. “No no no! You’re doing everything fine, really, you’re fine and everything about you is fine in general and-”
He stopped suddenly, his gaze dropping to the floor. “N-nevermind, I- This was stupid. Fuck, I- I’m gonna go now-”
Rich tried to move away but Michael grabbed his hands. “Dude, look at me, okay? Whatever it is, it’s obviously bugging you a lot. It’s not stupid.”
“But it is stupid and I can’t fucking tell you why cause truth is I’m honestly terrified of how you might react!”
“Woah, dude, just- Relax a little, yeah? Keep your voice down. I.. Why would you be scared of how I might react?”
Rich looked at Michael quietly, shaking again. “Because you’re so nice and sweet and funny and I’m so, so fucking scared of messing everything up like I always do, but I guess I already started so there’s no fucking point to just stop here, right?” Rich chuckled, trying to not break down.
Is he saying what I think he’s saying?
“You’re so great and amazing and I’m just a fuck-up and you’re also the reason why I realized I was bi and, God, what will happen if I just do this?”
“Do wha-”
Michael’s words got cut as Rich pressed their lips together. He had no idea what to do now, and the only thing he managed to do was think: Holy fuck he likes me too he likes me he fucking likes me-
Rich moved away, pale. “I’m sorry oh God I’m so, so sorry-”
This time, it was Michael who pressed their lips together, wrapping his hands around Rich’s neck. The shorter boy basically melted, closing his eyes. A few moment later Michael pulled away to breathe, but Rich moved forward towards him - he waited for this moment for so long, and he really didn’t want it to end.He looked at Michael, breathing heavily. “So, uh, you..”
“I like you too, yeah.”
Rich grinned at him and pulled him in for a hug, making the other boy smile.
