Mikey's pov

I stood behind the counter of the gas station. There wasn't a single person in sight. Gerard sat in the back doing who knows what. My head rested in my hand as I set my elbow on the counter, and sighed out of boredom.

It's been a week since I last saw my girl... why's she acting so weird? Has she been avoiding me? Why would she do that? So many questions...

Gerard stepped out from behind the curtain. He held his GameBoy in hand.

"Hey, do you happen to have a GameBoy charger on you?"

"No..." I stated, quite plainly.

"You okay?"

"Eh, I mean, I've been better..." My eyes fell to the counter top.

"What's up?" He asked. I shook my head, "C'mon..."

"Fine, I think Y/n has been avoiding me..."

"Avoiding you?"

"Uhuh, I dunno what I did! But, she hasn't answered my messages, when I see her, she hides..." I pushed up on my glasses, "She just seems weird."

"Maybe she doesn't like you anymore." I looked to my older brother.

"But, why wouldn't she? We've had so much fun together. I really like her."

"Just cause you like her doesn't mean she likes you." He explained. I sent a look.

"Why're you saying these things?" He hummed, "She likes me..."

"I'm just trying to protect you Mikey. She obviously doesn't like you if she's avoiding you." That was a real sting at my heart.

"No... no no... what did I do? Did I say something? Oh, Y/n..." My thoughts whirled around, "I gotta talk to her..."

"Mikey, no! She's just gonna hurt ya. Stay here, it'll be alright. You can get yourself a new girl! There's plenty around here."

"Gerard, you don't understand. I really like this girl. She's nothing like the girls here. I can't just, drop her. Sorry, but I gotta go talk to her." I jumped over the counter and began out the door.

"Dude, you really shouldn't do this! You'll just make it worse!" Gerard cried after me, but I only ignored him. The Inn... she must be there...

I walked down the sidewalk until I got to the Inn. Patrick sat at the front desk, he looked bored as ever.

"Mikey! Hi!" He greeted.

"Hey Trick, is Y/n around?"

"Nah, she went out, but Awsten's upstairs." Maybe he could give me some answers...

"Alright, do you know when she'll be back?" He shrugged.

"Dunno..."

"Okay, thanks, I'll go talk to Awsten then." I walked up the steps and towards the hotel room. Quietly, I knocked on the door. Awsten opened it up.

"Hey, Y/n's not here..." He said.

"Uh, could I maybe talk to you?" I asked. He seemed a little surprised, but opened the door enough for me to step in.

"Sure..." I stepped inside the small hotel room. Looking around the room, I saw the teddy bear I had won her on the floor. Aww...

"Why are you here?" Awsten asked, sitting on the bed. I sat next to him.

"Has Y/n been avoiding me?" I asked. Awsten sighed.

"Yeah..."

"But why? Did I do something?"

"No! No... she said the morning after the festival Gerard kinda... said somethings to her." I furrowed my brows.

"Gerard? What'd he say?"

"Said he'd beat her up if she kept going out with you. It freaked her out real bad." Gerard... no wonder he was saying those things... fuck...

"Fuck, I need to talk to her. Where is she?" Just as I asked, the door opened.

"Awsten, I'm back-" Her eyes went wide at the sight of me. She dropped the bag of food in her hands, "What's he doing here?" She sounded so nervous and scared. I stood up and walked to her.

"Y/n, it's okay, Gerard's not gonna hurt ya," She then fell into my arms, holding me close to her, "Awsten told me what happened."

"Mikey I'm sorry, I wanted to see you so bad, but I was so scared. He freaked me out so bad." I kissed the top of her head.

"Sweetheart, it's okay," I pulled away, she just smiled at me, "You're so cute."

"You are too..."

"Okay okay!" We turned to Awsten, "Let me leave before it gets graphic!" We both laughed as he stepped out of the room.

"Uhm, so, what do we do now?" She asked.

"We could move to the bed and make out for a bit."

"Mkay," I took her hands, leading her to a bed, "Not this one. This is Awsten's."

"Alright," I moved to the other one, "If I make you uncomfortable or anything just let me know, okay?" She nodded.

"Same for you," She said, "I never wanna make you uncomfortable."

Her eyes were on mine. I nodded, then pressed my lips to hers. Slowly, she pulled me onto the bed as our lips went back and forth. My fingers ran through her hair, her's did the same with mine, before she pulled away.

"Can I take off the beanie?" She asked, eying it.

"Go ahead..." A smile spread across her face as she got all excited. She slipped it off and watched as my ears twitched, becoming used to the change in temperature. Y/n just giggled, happily.

"So cute..." She whispered as her fingers hovered over them. Then, her hands held my cheeks. I kissed them both, and watched as her eyes lit up, "I love it when you do that..." I just chuckled, then smashed my lips back against hers.

"Oh Y/n..." I spoke softly, moving my hands from her hair, down to her waist.

"Mikey..." She pulled away just to look at me and smile, "You are so cute!" She then kissed me, I kissed back.

"Well you are too, dear." She pulled away once again, studying my face. Her finger drew lines around my cheeks. Then, she brought her lips to mine again, and again, and once more.

"Sunshine..." I muttered against her lips. Before anything else could happen, the door burst open. We both pulled away to see Awsten.

"Oh gross! Get a room!" He cried, then stood still, eyeing me, "What the hell?" He whispered, stepping closer. I slipped my beanie back on quickly, but I was too late.

"What the fuck is going on with your ears!?"

"N-nothing..." He grabbed for my beanie, but I dodged him. Sadly, I wasn't fast enough for his next move. The beanie was off, and my ears were exposed.

"Y/n, did... did you know about this!?" He asked.

"Uhm... yeah..." She spoke nervously. Awsten sat down at the edge of the bed. He seemed more shocked and upset over her than me.

"So you kept a secret from me!?" He asked, with a sad tone. She nodded.

"Awsten, I'm sorry! He didn't want me to say anything!" She explained.

"But you're my best friend! We tell each other everything!" He cried, upset.

"I know, I know I know and I'm so sorry..." She got up and hugged him, "He said I couldn't tell you." It sounded as if she were about to cry. Wow... she feels so bad...

"Uh, yeah, it was my fault. Don't be mad at her." I said. Awsten looked to me, she let go.

"What even is," He moved his hands to motion towards my ears, "This...?"

"Oh, I'm an elf."

"Holy shit," Awsten eyed the floor for a moment, thinking, then went up to Y/n, "So we were both wrong!"

"Yeah," She said, "They're magical creatures, not aliens... or failed government experiments..."

"We weren't even close," He chuckled, then stepped towards me, eying the ears, "How long have you known?" He asked her.

"Since the night of the festival..." He hummed.

"Are there others? Like you?"

"Yeah, Gerard's an elf, Frank's a dwarf, and Ray's a giant."

"Sick, why didn't you tell us!?"

"Cause if people know our town could become a government experiment! Or something..." Awsten hummed.

"Cool, well, anyways, I came back to ask if you guys are alright now. Are you?" I looked to her, she looked back and smiled.

"Yeah," She said with a smile, "We're alright..."

"Why don't we go to my place? I'm sure Awsten doesn't wanna watch us make out." I chuckled, she giggled.

"Let's do that..." She took my hand, then looked to Awsten, "Bye, I'll see ya later." She waved as we stepped out of the room, just after I slipped the beanie back on.

"Bye! Have fun!" He called, just before we shut the door.

"He took that well..." I said.

"Eh, I mean, I really should've told him. I tell him everything," She looked to the floor, "He was so upset," Then she looked back to me, "Can I tell him about the vampire?"

"I dunno, just telling him that was risky."

"Mikey, I can't keep doing this! Keeping secrets from my best friend is like, killing me," She explained, "Awsten deserves to know. Who's he gonna tell, anyways? Otto? Geoff? Even if he did they both share a single brain cell so it's not like they'd ever believe him!"

"Y/n..."

"And I feel so bad..."

"Y/n..." My fingers went to her chin as I lifted her gaze towards me, "It's alright, you can tell him." She smiled. I let go.

"Oh good..." At this point we had made it to just a few feet from my apartment. We walked inside, up some stairs, and finally into the apartment.

"So," I pushed her up against the door, "Where were we?" I whispered, somewhat seductively.

"I believe we were," She slipped off my beanie, "Somewhere around here." And threw it to the floor before planting her lips on mine. Our lips pressed against each other in unison, over and over again. My hands felt up and down her body as hers kept to my hair.

"Damn you're pretty..." I murmured against her lips. She smiled from this.

"Mikey?" She whispered, I hummed, pulling away, "Do you really think I'm pretty?" I nodded. What kinda question is that? Of course she's pretty... beautiful even...

"Aww, well, I think you're pretty too." I smiled, then kissed her again. This feels good... I like her so much... oh Y/n...

Then, suddenly, there was a knock upon the door. It startled both of us. We just kept kissing, trying to ignore it.

"Mikey!? Open up! I know you're in there!" Gerard cried. I sighed, then pulled her away from the door.

"You gotta hide..." She nodded, I left her behind the kitchen counter where she now sat, "I'll let you know when you can come out, okay?"

"Mikey! Open up!" She nodded, I began away.

"Wait..." She pulled me in for one last kiss before I finally stood up. Quickly, I slipped on my beanie and opened the door.

"Dude, what took you so long?" He stepped inside.

"Bathroom..." I held a slightly annoyed tone.

"Oh, well alright then," He answered, taking a seat on the couch, I did as well, "How'd it go with Y/n?" He asked, quite nervously.

"I dunno," I pushed up my glasses and folded my arms, "Maybe I should ask you."

"Why's that?" He asked, still trying to make it seem as if he hadn't done anything.

"Cut the act, Gerard! I know what you did! Why'd you do it!?" I asked, "She's done nothing to you!"

"To me she hasn't, but to you she sure as hell has! She saw your ears. Do you know how dangerous that is!?"

"As a matter of fact, yes I do. But I trust her. She would've found out eventually, anyways."

"Y'know, Mikey, you can't just go trusting random people like that. It could get us killed."

"We're not gonna be killed! She wouldn't tell a soul."

"How do you know?"

"Cause I trust her. Just like I trust you. And well, she likes my ears. She thinks they're cute." I smiled to myself.

"I don't think you should see this girl anymore," My head shot up, "She was cool at first, but, this could be bad."

"No, I'm gonna keep seeing her. I really like her. You can't stop me."

"Dude, why can't you just date one of the girls in town?"

"Cause I already have! I don't like any of them! I like Y/n! She's nothing like them," He scratched the side of his head, thinking, "You were fine with her before. Why can't you be now?"

"She saw your ears, that's why. I'm just trying to protect you Mikes."

"You don't need to protect me! I'm not a little kid anymore!"

"Fine! Go ahead! Date her! But if we end up in a government facility I'm blaming you!" He folded his arms, angrily. It became quiet between us for a moment. Yes... he won't hurt her...

"So, why'd you come over?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, I can't find my GameBoy charger. Did I leave it here?" He asked, getting up.

"I dunno, maybe, go check my room." I answered, also standing up.

"Aight..." He walked off, and I ran to Y/n behind the kitchen counter.

"Did you hear that dear?" I asked, whispering. She nodded.

"Yeah..." She smiled, then smashed her lips into mine. Without really thinking it through, I kissed her again, over and over. Then, she fell backwards onto the tile floor so I now lay on top of her.

"I found it- Mikey? Mikey- aw gross!" Gerard cried, she pushed me off of her.

"Gerard! Uhm, hi," She greeted, somewhat awkwardly.

"Has she been here the whole time?"

"What?" I answered, with a higher pitched tone, "No she has not been here the whole time." I clearly lied.

"Mikey, you are so bad at lying. Well, Y/n, since you're here," He sighed, she sat up, giving her full attention, "I'm sorry I freaked you out. That was really shitty of me, although my brother is an idiot for showing his ears to a stranger!"

"She's not a stranger! She's my girlfriend."

"Yeah, well it was still dumb. But, you seem to make him happy. Now, I gotta go, bye guys."

"Bye!" I said. As soon as the door shut, I hugged her.

"Honeybee, are you gonna be okay?" I nodded.

"What'd you just call me?" She pulled away.

"Honeybee..."

"Aww..." I kissed her, "C'mon, let's get off the floor."

With my hands in hers, we fell into the couch, and our lips were on each other in almost an instant. The day then became night as our kisses eventually came to a stop. I lay flat on my back, staring at the ceiling as she snuggled her face into my chest. Her arms were around me as my fingers traced lines across her back. Slowly, we fell fast asleep in each others arms.
