*/ who the f*ck is miguel ramone

[miguelrcmone]

 he took a mug from one of the cabinets and set it on the counter. then moved over to pour some leftover coffee in the coffee maker into his mug.  “  you lot deserve it.  ”  he spoke sincerely, even momentarily looking him in the eyes before focusing back on his drink.  “  my life.  ”  he almost snorts, instead he shook his head. he couldn’t imagine miguel would be concerned about what he was doing, considering everything that was happened, but there was no harm in playing along.  “  pretty good. dad wants me to move back. don’t know how i feel about that. i feel like i’ve grown attached to england already.  ”

Miguel picked up his mug, sipping lightly from it. Coffe with soy milk and a bit of sugar, it had always been that in the morning since the day he found out how amazingly coffee tastes. “Thanks, man.” He stared at the window, before briefly looking at the other. He actually was curious about Harry’s life, even though they never had the best relationship and Miguel didn’t really care about him, he couldn’t help but wanting to know how he was doing. “Do what you think it’s better, if you like England, stay there.”

Stassi always had a feeling Miguel had a crush on one of her best friends, but he was also one of her best friends and she never wanted anyone to feel uncomfortable. “I know you do, and I hope you get her” she said placing her hand on his shoulder, throwing him a wink. Quickly standing up straight, “Do we have guitar hero here? Because I will totally whip your ass!” she said before listening to the rest of his sentence, “Yeah, high school was easier” she bit on her bottom lip.

“She probably doesn’t feel the same way, so I’m actually thinking about giving up.” He had a sad grin on his lips. “I don’t know, but everyone knows how invicible I am, sweetheart!” And it was true, everyone hated playing against him and would blame it on the fact that he is an actual guitarist. “My life didn’t change that much…”

a grin spread across izzy’s cheeks as she spotted miguel. “miguel,” she said enthusiastically as she threw her arms around him, excited to see him for the first time since the previous summer. “oh my god, i’m so excited to be here,” she said, “knowing this trip was coming up is what got me through the year, you know? what have you been up to?”

“I can tell you missed me.” He chuckled, leaving a kiss on her cheek. “I almost didn’t make it through the year, you know?” He wasn’t lying, at a point of the year his life seemed to be turned upside down and he just wanted to give up. “But now I’m here and nothing can stop me from having a great summer.”

          “          if  you’re  actually  playing  wonderwall,  i  think  maybe  you  should  be  pursuing  an  alternate  career  .          ”          she  jokes,  finally  finding  something  like  a  happy  rhythm  again  .  most  people  don’t  share  a  group  of  friends  with  their  sibling,  and  while  it  can  be  complicated  sometimes,  she  wouldn’t  trade  having  him  here  with  her  for  the  world  .          “          are  you  excited  to  perform  ?  it’s  like  a  homecoming  .          ”          she’s  really  proud,  and  perhaps  even  envious,  that  her  brother’s  successfully  pursuing  what  he  wants  .  she  doesn’t  even  really  know  what  the  looks  like  for  her  anymore  .

“You know how much I love Oasis and wonderwall is part of the tradition, sis.” He rolled his eyes. Miguel knew that it really wasn’t easy to in that place at that moment, but he also knew, that if you don’t try it’s not just gonna fall from the sky. “Obviously! It’s even better because everyone saw the band being born and now we’re just doing so well...it’s unbelivable.”

[miguelrcmone]

“what?! i was about to teach you the savage dance.” she pouts, “but that’s exactly why i learn them. so you can learn to love the dances just like how you love me.” she teased, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, “life is pretty good. i honestly can’t complain. i’m just glad to finally have time off from work. how about you?”

“I don’t even know the renegade.” He laughed loudly. “I hate you but I would sing can’t take my eyes off you just to make sure you’d get embarassed.” He joked, a shy smile on his lips. “The band is having such a great moment and I couldn’t be more thanful for that, but yeah, I’m pretty good.”

[miguelrcmone]

delilah was pretty excited for something strange’s set at the bonfire that night, and was helping set up for whatever needed to be done for the concert. she had already helped sirena with a few things here and there, and decided to chat with miguel and see if anything else needed to be set up. “hey,” she began, now walking up to him and attempting to act as casually as possible. “so, uh, do you need help with anything? i guess i’m you guys’ roadie for the night.” she semi-joked with a small smile on her face, looking around the area to avoid eye contact with him. how was it that a simple conversation was already making her nervous out of her mind?

It was impossible not to recognize her voice when just a simple hey would make him think about it for days, so when she met up with him, poor boy got his face red as a tomato. “hey…” He mumbled, looking at the ground. “Actually, I don’t. . .dont’ think I’m telling you to leave me alone. That’s not it, I swear!” Miguel exclaimed, looking back at her face expecting to meet his gaze with hers. “So...how’s everything going?”

[miguelrcmone]

“It’s a masterpiece!” Luca agreed with a smile. “Man, you’re like a seventies rockstar, living the life to the fullest, concerts and fans and loud music and roadies and groupies. You have it all!” he teased with a grandiloquent tone, but immediately he laughed. And kept putting things from his bag into the drawers. “Settle down? What do you mean? The house, the wife, the kids, the dog… that stuff?”

“When Liam sang “I’m feelig supersonic, give me gin and tonic” I felt that though.” He nodded looking at his friend. “I’m basically the Jimmy Page of this generation...minus the underaged groupis.” Miguel threw himself on top of his bed, sharing a room with one your best friends was probably one of the best feelings, especially when that friend understood you like no other. “Exactly, that stuff. . .Fucking around his cool until you find yourself falling for someone.”

[miguelrcmone]

it took rena a few seconds to realize that maybe miguel wouldn’t be so happy if he knew she had a crush on his ex. or, well, has had a pretty big crush on her for awhile. god, what was up with her and liking her friend’s ex’s? what kind of a monster was she? it’s more of a respect thing, yeah that makes perfect sense. if only she had thought of that before fucking everything up. “mm, i get it,” she answers with a small nod. “feelings are…complicated. honestly it just sounds like a big hassle and i think i’ll just turn myself into the next hugh hefner. surrounded by beautiful people and just enjoying life in my nice, huge mansion. honestly, is there really any other way to settle down?” she teased with a playful wink.

“They shouldn’t be complicated, but we kind of make them even worse.” He said with no expression or what so ever in his face. “You are meant to stay alone for the rest of your life.” He joked with a playful smile. “But I always dream of having someone, share a home, have kids, maybe a dog...those kinds of things.” Miguel shrugged. It was a weird dream for someone who was pretty much a rockstar and was known for fucking around.

[miguelrcmone]

rena quickly made a face, “ew, who wants to get married? that’s just gross.” it was funny how miguel had no idea that his next set of words hit the girl harder than he would have ever imagined possible. affairs and ruining relationships was her thing now, she guessed. he had a point though, that crushing on his ex’s best friend might make things complicated. after all, it would be like harry having a crush on her, despite everything already going on. “i mean…i dunno, i’m not a love expert since i’ve never had a genuine relationship, but if you like someone you like someone, right? it’s not your fault who you gravitate towards.” 

“I’ve actually been thinking about settling down, getting married and having kids.” He just stared at her like she had said something out of this world. “It’s more of a respect thing, you know? Scar and I didn’t broke up in the bestest of terms but even though I don’t love her like before, I still respect her a lot and wouldn’t want to break the trust we had one day. . .even though it’s kinda broken already.” He explained with a sigh. “I do like Delilah and yeah, I do imagine a future and all those cliché things by her side, but I’m pretty sure she doesn’t feel the same way.”

[miguelrcmone]

“Listen, I have some pretty amazing people in Beverly Hills, and I’m not just saying this because I want you closer to me” she said nudging him jokingly. “Stop! They are probably the cutest things” she said clapping the tips of her fingers together. Stassi furrowed her eyebrows, as if he said something crazy, “Hell no! I think either we could take a few shots, or smoke a little J outside looking at the ocean, or sing karaoke till our throats give out” she offered. He should confess and talk to his crush, but that is not what Stassi was here for him to say.

“I actually know who I want.” He smirks and quickly it transforms in a shy smile, clearly he was thinking of Delilah. It was so obvious the crush he had on her and yet kept saying how he couldn’t stand a chance, she probably had so many guys trying to be with her. “Now I wanna play guitar hero and just prove how invicible I am. Damn I’m missing those high school years and hours of playing dumb games.”

[miguelrcmone]

        “  ah, shit …  ”  he breathes. guess avoiding the people you’re trying to avoid only attracts them even more.  “  right. sorry ‘bout that, mate.  ”  he couldn’t even look at him as he cautiously took the almond milk from the fride.  “  so, right, uhm …  ”  he clears his throat.  “  how have you been  ?  the band’s doing well, yeah  ?  ”  he wasn’t sure if small talk was the right course to navigate, but he reckoned it was better than awkward silence.

“Well, i’ve been good.” He replied, everyoe knew Miguel wasn’t a man of short words, he actually talked a lot but with him it wasn’t like that at all. “And the band is probably having one of its best moments.” His shoulders were tense but he managed to smile. “So, how’s your life going?”

[miguelrcmone]

          “          that’s  pretty  deep,  m  .  you  a  poet  now  ?          ”          she  laughs  lightly,  trying  to  crack  a  joke  .  she  doesn’t  want  to  cry,  at  least  not  right  now  .  astrid  usually  saves  her  years  for  the  night,  that’s  when  she’s  at  her  loneliest  .  and  while  she  knows  he  understands,  she  thinks  her  brother  might  express  his  loneliness  in  a  different  way  .          “          seriously,  i’m  okay  .  no  tears  right  now,  promise  .  let’s  practice  what  you  preach,  right  ?  what  did  you  say,  self  love  ?  i  could  use  a  dose  or  two  of  that  .          ”

“ I’m giving up on music to become the next Lord Byron.” He laughed, nudging her a shoulder. He knew that he couldn’t totally relate to what she was feeling, but Miguel tried his best to help her. “The secret to self-love is seeing your amazing brother perform wonderwall with his best friend. I know how much you hate my obnoxious singing, a”

[miguelrcmone]

sirena gave the boy a pout as he talked about his beautiful bromance with luca, “oh gosh, miguel, i had no idea our blossoming love would destroy your love story with luca. i guess we’ll all just have to be in a poly relationship then,” she laughs with a wide smile. “but let’s be honest, we know who your true love is, and that’s delilah. it’s cute, but i’m started to grow bored cause you guys won’t do shit about it. when are you gonna ask her out, huh?”

“He’s my everything. I wanna marry him, Rena.” He said pretending to clean his non-existente tears. “And sorry, but might as well just break up with you, not really into affairs and ruining relationships.” The curly haired boy shrugged. “Not the Delilah talk again.” He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. “I’m not even sure of what I really feel, like I know it’s a crush but at the same time is weird...she’s my ex’s best friend.”

[miguelrcmone]

“  hey, man. could you do me a solid and hand me some milk from the fridge  ? ”  he rubs his temples, unaware of he was asking a favour from. all he knew was that he was in dire need of some coffee.  “  i think i drank too much last night…  ”  he groaned. 

“ Sure. ” He answered, turning around and seeing who had asked for the milk. “ I mean, since it’s you and I love to give special treatment to certain people. . .why don’t you go get it  by yourself? ” Miguel really wasn’t in the mood to be dealing with Harrison but he also couldn’t bring himself to help him.

[miguelrcmone]

“Aw man, I was ready to be an aunty” she joked. She nodded along with him, she understood how hard it was to have an ex, especially having to see them constantly. Astrid and Stassi might have not been the closest right now, but she understood how upsetting it could be, especially to see family like that. “I know it’s a lot for you right now Miguel. and you know I’m always here for you” she consoled him. Even though it was low she could hear his last bit, side eyeing him she let out a little giggle, “You know what always fixes that?” she asked.

“I still have to find the best baby mama.” A small smile appeared on his face. “Imagine my kid having curls just like me...they would be cute.” Talking about the future seemed to be so odd taking in consideration the moment. Everyone was back together and there he was thinking about the times, where they wouldn’t be like this. “Don’t tell me to confess...I don’t even know what I feel...”

[miguelrcmone]

Stassi giggles putting her hand behind his back as they moved. Taking a deep breath, “Yeah, I’ve seen some people I’m not necessarily excited to see, but I knew I would. Just trying to make the best out of it” she said making a little shrug. She missed Miguel, he was one of them she was very excited to see. “So tell me, what about you? What is new with you?” She asked placing her chin in her knuckles, listing intently. 

“ Well, I’m not a father yet, if that’s what you’re wondering.” He said letting escape a low laugh. “But I thought I had moved on, and maybe I did, but it still hurts to see her.” He mumbled the words, looking up to the sky. “So now I have to deal with that, with my sister’s sadness and Rena saying that I look like a teen with a crush whenever I’m around...someone special.” Miguel whispered the last part, hoping she would not listen to it.

[miguelrcmone]

“don’t be mean, it’s not their fault we’re so fucking adorable together,” she teased while nudging his arm in a playful manor. “honestly, she probably would. definitely would be shocked. and please, luca is a big boy, i’m sure he could handle it,” she laughs at the thought before letting her head rest on his shoulder. “i missed you too, you big idiot. are you excited to play at the bonfire tonight?”   

“I mean we kinda look cute together.” He rolled his eyes playfully. “Luca would be mad at me, like, I would be breaking our romance. . .those many nights singing oasis would seem like they meant nothing.” He says in a dramatic voice tone. “Of course I’m excited, everyone is here and will be seeing us play.”
