TW: swearing

The Squip had successfully manipulated Jeremy into thinking Michael hated him and was never gonna forgive him. He'd made Jeremy think that he broke up with Michael for a good reason, and the poor boy went along with it.

It had been a week now, and Jeremy was dating Brooke. However there was always a nagging voice in Jeremy's mind telling him that he shouldn't be with Brooke. He ignored it because of how quiet it was.

So now he was at a Halloween party, and he was sitting in the bathroom after Chloe assaulted him, albeit unknowningly and drunk.

He heard something and looked up. Nothing except for a bag of trash in the tub...wait who puts a trash bag in the tub?

"H-Hello?" Jeremy whispered and Michael popped out from the tub and immediatley froze when seeing Jeremy.

"You can see me?"

"Michael...I-I have to go." Jeremy was still convinced Michael hated him so he let his fear sink in and tried to open the door. It was locked from the outside.

"Why?" Michael held a key up and Jeremy looked down in shame.

"I just d-don't need anymore heart break..." He whispered and Michael noticed his eyes. They were glowing bright blue, and he was crying.

"Jeremy what are you talking about?"

"You said you'd never forgive me! You s-said you never wanted to talk to me again!!" Jeremy yelled and Michael knew he must've been manipulated, because they haven't talked since Jeremy picked up his call.

"When did I say that?"

"After I w-watched the video you sent me...you were in my room...you pushed me against the wall and...and..." Jeremy's eyes widened when he realized that "Michael's" eyes had been blue instead of brown.

Jeremy began crying heavily as he realized all that had happened to him.

"Jerm?" Michael asked and Jeremy hugged him tightly.

"Michael...I'm...I'm so sorry...the Squip...he...it lied to me...it changed my memories...made me forget about you and me dating...and what I did remember...it changed...it hurt...I...I thought you didn't love me anymore..." Jeremy sobbed and Michael held him closely, and they were now hugging against the door.

"Hey, hey, shhh, it's okay Jeremy it's okay." Michael gently began to play with Jeremy's curls, slowly calming the shorter male down. "I would never stop loving you, and I'll always forgive you...alright?" Jeremy nodded into Michael's chest and the two were now holding hands gently "I love you Jeremy...and I need to get that thing out of you soon. How'd you get here?"

"B-Brooke decided she'd pick me up..."

"Well you're coming home with me." Michael unlocked the door and led Jeremy down the stairs.

They left the party and went to Michael's house. He snuck a beer so Jeremy could keep the Squip shut off so he wouldn't forget about them.

When they got to Michael's, the taller male let Jeremy wear his clothes as pajamas, and started long research about the Squip.

Jeremy woke up with a splitting headache, and Michael was still at the computer.

"Did you sleep at all l-last night?" Jeremy asked and Michael shook his head.

"If the thing reactivates, there's still some beer left. It's Saturday so we should be fine if you get slightly drunk." Michael told him and Jeremy nodded, laying back down in the bed and ignoring his headache. "You okay?"

"No...h-headache...severe...severe headache." Jeremy whispered and Michael got up and ran downstairs.

He came back up with a spoon, which a crushed up pill was in(HC Jeremy hates pills and had to crush them bc the Squip and because he could never really swallow pills well), and a sticky ice pack for Jeremy's forehead.

"Okay, got you some headache medicine Jere, I need you to take it okay?" Michael was very gentle when helping Jeremy sit up. The brunette took his medicine and swallowed begrudgingly.

After that, Michael put the sticky ice pack on Jeremy's forehead, having to move a lot of hair out of his face with the back of his hand.

"I know it's for fevers but it might held numb the headache, you know?" Jeremy nodded in response, and Michael smiled, kissing him gently on the side of his head and going back to his very annoying research.

"Jeremyyyy." Jeremy didn't acknowledge the Squip talking to him. "You haven't won yet. There's nothing about Squips online. You're stuck with me forever, unless you wanna get wasted every day."

"M-Mich..." Jeremy mumbled and the taller male spin around in his chair. "It reactivated..." Michael grabbed the beer and slid over to Jeremy.

They knew that this wasn't healthy, but it helped with the Squip. Jeremy took a small sip of beer and within seconds, the Squip was gone. Good.

"I'll leave the bottle over here alright?"

"Mmhm." Jeremy laid down yet again, closing his eyes and trying to get more sleep, because the Squip always made him wake up really early and he never got sleep.

Michael stayed on his computer for about another hour before his eyes widened.

"Jeremy wake up!"

"I am awake...ow..." Jeremy rubbed his head after hitting the back of the bed with it.

"Sorry, I got excited, but I know how to get rid of the Squip!!" Jeremy smiled and Michael pushed himself over to his minifridge fill of nineties sodas.

He pulled out a red bottle and pushed towards Jeremy, sliding perfectly next to the bed.

"You gotta drink this." Jeremy read the label and realized it was vintage Mountain Dew Red.

"Of course...green turns them on...red shuts them off..." Jeremy took the bottle and opened it quickly, scared the Squip was going to reactivate.

He began drinking it, Michael watching in both fear and anticipation, mainly because this was his boyfriend and he was gonna get him back.

After the bottle was empty, Jeremy froze before his eyes began glowing blue and flashing violently, and he screamed.

He finally passed out, and Michael caught him, kissing him lightly.

"I'll see you when you wake up Love." He whispered, never leaving that room at all. Not even to pee. And when it came to food, he just lived off of chips and drank Crystal Pepsi.

(It's now Sunday)

Michael was still waiting for Jeremy to wake up, and when he heard mumbling, he turned to see Jeremy moving around in the bed.

The brunette forced his eyes opened and noticed how empty his head felt.

"Jeremy!" Michael ran over and held him tightly, kissing him and playing with the messy curls. "Oh my God I was so scared you weren't gonna wake up."

"Micha...I'm sorry about...about everything..." Jeremy cried, and Michael cupped his cheek and wiped away the tears.

"No don't apologize. You did nothing wrong. I'm just...really glad you're here now." Michael cooed and Jeremy blushed, letting himself fall into the hug. "I love you Miah."

"I love you too Mikey..." Jeremy whispered, and the two remained like that until Jeremy finally felt he could move around again without aching.

The rest of the day was spent with the two of them just being super fluffy and lovey dovey with each other since it had been a week.

And so what if everybody was pissed that Jeremy 'cheated' on Brooke? He didn't care. That wasn't his girlfriend. He didn't have a girlfriend.

He had a boyfriend(boyf riend), and that was Michael.

Omg a happy ending!?
