(Michael POV)

"When I was
A young boy
My father
Took me into the city
To see a matching band."

The song played through my headphones. I sat in the couch, head in my hands, 2 in the morning.

Jeremy and Rich were in the bedroom, sleeping in me and Jeremy's bed. Rich has been staying here for around 2 months now. I've been desperately trying to talk to Jake and help him get his shit together but it's hard to fix at least 4 years of worng morals in 2 months.

Though now I'm starting to worry....

Would Rich be better for Jeremy?

I mean, think about it. Rich had a SQUIP, hes missing his mom, they have the same weird pop music taste as opposed to my 60s-90s one, and then the emo music.

They would be so much better together

And to top it all off, Jeremy likes Rich. They've had sex! I mean, I've always known, Jeremy asked before, and we've all done stuff together, but it's not like Jeremy wouldn't be in a relationship with Rich....

     And I'm a mess. Rich isn't. Rich is actully kinda okay, he just had PTSD. I have.... Depression, actually a whole disorder, in the form of depression. I'm going crazy I don't make enough money, I have so much trauma, and- I'm nothing compared to Rich.

A weight suddenly plopped next to me. I looked down to see Rich. He seemed tired.

"Why you out here Richie?" I asked softly, pulling my headphones off.

"Why are you out here, is a better question." He replied, nuzzling into me. "And MCR? Are you okay?" He asked softly. I didn't listen to a lot of recent music unless I wasn't feeling well.

"Yeah I'm fine." I replied, pausing the song.

"Well, if the bed wasn't big enough you should've woke me up, I'm staying with you guys, I can sleep on the couch." Rich said looking up at me.

"Its fine Richie." I replied. He nuzzled into me.

"Okay. Well, you wanna come back to sleep?" He asked.

"I can't Rich." I replied.

"Insomnia or nightmares?" He asked.

"Insomnia." I said, he sighed and leaned against me. "Hows your job going?" I asked. Rich has been trying to get a job for a bit now. I stopped eating as much so we would have more food, Jeremy notice and talked to Rich. I don't know how I would survive without Jer...

"They haven't wrote me back." He sighed solemnly. I held him closer.

"It'll get better." I reussered him. He closed his eyes.

"I hope it will."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I can do this. I thought to myself, I was going to break up with Jeremy. I didn't... want to, but it was for the best. He would be happier with Rich anyway.

"Jer?" I asked, my voice was strained. I had to do this before Christmas break or else... I don't know I'll pussy out!

"Yeah Micha?" Jeremy encourages, turning to look at me with a smile. God his eyes, and his smile, and his... everything.....

"I-... I'm... I'M BREAKING UP WITH YOU!" I exclaimed. Tears ran down my cheeks and Jeremy just looked at me.

"Why?" He asked, his voice wasnt sad, more curious.

"Cu- cuss I don't love you anymore?" It should have been a statement but it came out like a question.

Jeremy laughed

In my fucking face.

After I told him we were breaking up.

The little shit.

"Michael!" He laughed, grabbing my bicep. "W-where is this actually coming from amor?" Jeremy asked smiling at me, he knows I always fall hard for the 'love in a different language' trick. As he pulled me close cradling me, it was slightly awkward mind you, but it worked cuss we knew eachother and... well made it work.

I nuzzled into his stomach. "I-i... I thought you might be better with Rich..." I muttered. This got another laugh from Jeremy.

"Jesus no! Michael, Rich is hot and all, and yeah I love hanging out with him, but neither of us wanna date. We get sick of eachother after a while anyway." Jeremy explained.

   This was true, Rich or Jeremy had to leave the room after being in the same room for a while. They never argued just lost interest in eachother after a bit (maybe sometimes they argued).

"But he helps you with the SQUIP nightmares and the ones about your mom and stuff..." I argued. He smiled at me.

"Yeah, and you do too. Rich helps you with nightmares about your dad, but you don't wanna date him, and I trust that you still love me. We all care about eachother Mike. That doesn't mean anyone is better off with anyone okay? If I fell out of love with you, I would tell you." Jeremy told me. I smiled at him, he always knew what to say, I had a love hate relationship with that.

"Okay..." I replied. Jeremy giggled and ran his hand through my hair. "I would probably also get Hakitna again anyway." I added, butchering the word to high hell. Jeremy rolled his eyes.

    "Sure." He said though he didn't seem to like the idea.

   "Hey guys?" Was suddenly said from the door. I turned to see Rich, he had a huge smile on his face and looked really excited.

    "I GOT JOB!" He yelled, the biggest smile on his face as he ran and jumped on the bed.

    I laughed. "That's great Rich!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around him and giving him a nuggy. He laughed and squirmed.

    "Hey Rich?" Jeremy asked.

    "Yeah?" Rich asked smiling at Jeremy, as he crooked his head to the side. I flared at Jeremy knowing what was coming.

   "Would you get in a serious relationship with me?" Jeremy asked.

  Rich let out a gag, to play it up, and after burst out laughing witch was followed by Jeremy. I tried to act annoyed but ended up laughing too.

   "Fucking hate you Jer." I said grabbing a pillow and chucking it at Jeremy, who laughed in response.

    "You love me~" he purred. I rolled my eyes.

   "Yeah." I sighed. "Unfortunately." I added smirking, and ready for the pillow that came hurling at me after. I chucked it at Jeremy, it hit Rich instead though.

   "Oh you two are on!" Rich yelled.

Well that went better than I thought it would.
