No one POV
"I have something to tell you" Harvey started.
"I-I have the chance to sign a contract with a good discography"
"OMG! Really?! Are you for real?!" Mikey couldn't believe it.
"I'm so freaking happy for you!"
The boy picked up Harvey and spun him around.
"You did it baby" Mikey was on cloud nine for his boyfriend.
It's been always his dream and after a lot of hard work, he made it.
"But you don't seem happy...what's wrong?"
"There's something else..." Harvey trailed off.
"You're worrying me now..."
"If I sign, I have to move to LA..." Harvey confessed but Mikey didn't see the problem.
"Ok, I'll come with you"
"No...I have to move...for like the first year they want me to work hard without distractions and they said that you're one..."
Mikey didn't know if he should cry or what.
"I still haven't signed it cause I don't want to go there without you..."
Harvey grabbed both Mikey's hands and looked at his boy searching for something, anything.
"You have to sign" Mikey said after a long moment of silence.
"But-"
"It's your dream...I'll join you later" Mikey's tone was sad but he knew it was the right decision.
He wanted to see Harvey happy cause his happiness was all that mattered and if the price for it is to stay apart for a year then he'll pay for it...
Harvey just clung to Mikey's body, silent tears rolling down his cheek.
"I love you...more than anything. I-" Harvey sobbed.
Mikey hold him tight savoring every last moment together cause shit, he was gonna miss that boy.

The following day Harvey signed the contract but before doing it he questioned himself if it was the right decision.
From that day on, the two boys were always around each other.
Being apart physically hurt them and even the thought of it cause tears.
"The first song on the album will be about you- no, all the songs will be about you" Harvey said while playing with Mikey's curls.
He didn't reply and Harv knew that talking about it wasn't Mikey's favorite topic but that was their reality now.
Harvey kinda accepted it, he decided to stay positive, for the both of them, but he knew why Mikey still haven't.
"Want to watch a movie?"
The curly boy nodded.
They put on 'Love, Rosie' but probably it wasn't a good idea.
Rosie's best friend and crush was leaving for college while she decided to stay.
The goodbye scene was heartbreaking even though they watched the movie a thousand times.
Mikey left the room.
Harvey sighed then went after him.
The boy was walking back and forth in the living room with eyes so red due to the tears.
"Mikey..."
"Harv don't say anything...there's nothing to say..."
Mikey wanted to cry, he really wanted to but he couldn't bring himself to let it out.
"Baby..." Harv cupped his face.
Mikey's glossy and red eyes shattered Harvey's heart while the other boy bit his lip to stop himself from crying.
Harvey kissed him, he kissed him so hard that all the air in his lungs vanished, he kissed him so hard that his lips hurt, he kissed him so hard that the feeling and taste of his lips were pressed on his own lips.
Their foreheads were against each other and a veil of sadness was covering them.
Harvey wanted to say something but every word felt wrong.
"I promise I'm gonna be fine...just have to get used to everything..." Mikey promised.
"If it gets too much, take the first flight and come to me ok? Just call..."
and Harvey really meant it, he would do everything for his boy, even leaving behind his dream.

So the day of Harvey's departure arrived quicker than expected.
Mikey had to leave the house while Harvey packed or else he would have thrown away all the luggage.
"We have to go" Harvey said clutching the handle of the bag.
The car ride was oddly quiet, they have never been so quiet in their life.
Harvey rested his hand on Mikey's knee and tried to stay strong for the both of them but breathing underwater was probably easier.
At the airport, they hugged each other for an eternity that felt like 1 second to them.
"Call me every day, even if it's 4 am. Call me"
"Ok will do babe"
"And don't have too much fun in LA without me"
"Ok..." Harvey caressed Mikey's cheek.
"This is our Love, Rosie goodbye scene uh?" Harvey joked.
"Shut up" Mikey glared at him.
"I love you. It's a year, we can do it"
"I love you too..."
They shared one last kiss before Harvey had to actually leave.

Mikey was left alone in the airport till a hand gently touched his shoulder.
"Mikey..." a familiar voice said.
It was Marzia, Harvey's mum.
Mikey hugged her immediately letting out all the build-up of the last couple of days.
"I know honey...it's hard but you and Harv are strong"
She always supported the two boys mostly after finding out that Mikey's parents weren't supportive.
"Come on, I'll drive you home then we'll make some tea" Marzia suggested smiling softly at Mikey.
Coming back home without finding Harvey there was weird and it made Mikey tear up a bit but he refused to cry again.
They made some tea and sat in the living room talking about anything.
"Are you gonna be ok here by yourself?" Marzia asked sipping slowly her tea.
"I have a guest room so you can always come if you don't want to be alone"
"Thanks but a year is a lot so I have to get used to it eventually"
Mikey didn't want to stay alone but he knew he had to move on and not cry all day.
It wasn't like Harvey disappeared forever.

-months later-
Things between them were...going...Harvey was busy basically all the time and long calls were rarer than a diamond.
Mikey understood it, he was trying to be comprehensive but it was hard.
"Why don't we throw a party?! To cheer you up" one of Mikey's friends suggested.
It didn't sound like an awful idea so they decided to organize it.

The music was way too loud but Mikey didn't care.
Alcohol was on the floor but he didn't care.
Sweaty bodies were everywhere but he didn't care and it was the same reason why he was attached to the rum bottle, he didn't care.
Harvey definitely went to tons of parties in LA so why can't Mikey have fun?
He felt light as a cloud and his mind hasn't been so carefree in his life.
"I'm gonna lay down for a second ok?" He said but his friend couldn't hear anything so they nodded anyway.
Mikey stumbled upstairs opening the door then his phone rang.
"Shit" he tries to sound as sober as possible.
"Hey baby..." the voice was as soft as honey.
"Can I video call you? I miss your face"
Mikey managed to say a quick yes.
"Why is it so dark there? Did I wake you up?" Harvey panicked.
"No no...I'm fine" the boy suppressed a small hiccup.
"Ok well, I'm sorry if I haven't called lately. They aren't letting me breathe but it's going ok" Harvey laid in bed, white covers surrounding him.
"I'm happy you know? Josh even gave me a candy...or was it Clare? Meh, who cares...it was a great candy" Mikey said excitedly.
"Mikey? What candy?" Harvey started to worry.
"A candy Harv. You should try them. Wish you were here, next to me, loving me..."
"I know baby but about half a year and this distance is over ok?"
Mikey mumbled something that Harvey didn't hear but probably it was something no sense.
"Thought alcohol could help me...but people are making out everywhere...and..." Mikey paused.
"How much did you drink?"
"Nah...not much..." Mikey slurred.
"Baby...I'm serious. Are you ok? Feeling sick?" Harvey felt useless, he never saw Mikey in that state.
"You're not here, you left me alone so had to find new friends"
Harvey sighed.
"Mikey I-" he started but a second after Mikey was fast asleep.
"Mikey what did you do..." he said to himself then closed the call.

Mikey woke up with a terrible headache, it was a miracle that he didn't feel sick but now he needed at least a week to recover from all of that.
The house was a mess, red cups everywhere, empty bottles and random people asleep on couches and stairs...
Mikey stumbled into the kitchen and tried to make some tea, while he was waiting for the water to boil he rested his head against one of the cupboards and closed his eyes.
"Never again...how do people do it every weekend?" He said to no one but someone replied.
"Agree...you shouldn't do it again..."
"Harv?!?" Mikey looked at his boyfriend confused.
But before he could process anything, he was in his arms.
Mikey felt at peace, he felt like everything went back into place.
As a single hug could fix all his problems.
"You scared me..."
Harvey kissed his head and pulled him even closer to his chest.
"How...what are you doing here?"
"You looked like shit in the call. I had to come back, couldn't stay there knowing that you weren't ok here"
Mikey looked at his boyfriend like he was the most beautiful thing in the world and he was, he came back only for him.
Then Mikey started to cry, silent tears escaped his eyes and Harvey wiped them away.
"Don't cry or I'll cry too"
But Mikey didn't stop, he nuzzled his face into Harvey's neck hoping for some love.
Heat or anything.
The blonde boy grabbed his face and kissed him as it was their last kiss in their life cause to be honest, in all lifetimes they will find their way to each other, no matter what.
Mikey couldn't pull away from the lips, an invisible force was keeping him attached to his boy.
"I missed you" Harvey whispered.
Mikey didn't reply just looked up to his boyfriend with 'shut up and just kiss me' eyes.

Before Harvey, Mikey hated affection...now he can't stay away from him, the distance made him realize how he can't live without Harv.
"Baby, I need to pee"
"No" Mikey pouted, pressing his body even more against Harvey.
"I'll be back, I swear but let me pee" Harvey laughed but he really needed to go.
Eventually, Mikey let go but a pout was printed on his face which Harvey found adorable.
When he came back, he placed his bum between Mikey's opened legs and just admired the person he got to love.
Mikey sat up and they got lost in each other's eyes.
"I love you more than anything. More than what I have in LA" Harvey caressed his cheek while keeping his eyes fixed on his boy.
"You have to go back though...it's still your dream"
"You're also my dream"
Mikey knew it was a sincere reply but he couldn't ask him to give up, he's not that selfish.
"I love you more than my own life but I can't ask you to stay"
Mikey's eyes stared at Harvey's lips hungrily.
"Just say it and I'll stay or I'll call them and demand for you to come with me" Harvey was being serious, he couldn't stand another 6 months without Mikey.
The boy said nothing just attacked Harv's lips taking away all the air from his lungs.
So Mikey ended up next to Harv on a plane for LA.
Harvey hold his hand tight for the whole flight and the boy didn't know if he should be anxious or excited.
"I promise that you will love it"

-a year later-
"Mikey, we are late" Harvey's assistant said holding her clipboard close to her chest.
"Yeah one second"
Those LA rhythms weren't made for Mikey, he wasn't used to do everything so fastly but he had to keep up.
They rushed to the venue which was packed with fans but thank god back doors exist.
"This is your seat. I'll give Harvey the things he needs then will be with you" she quickly said and Mikey learned to obey like a child with his mother.
He sat down and looked around the venue, he couldn't believe that so many people were there just for Harvey, his Harvey.
The show started and he sounded angelic as always.
Then someone threw their bra on stage, Harvey picked it up with his index finger and quickly said to the mic "sorry girls, I'm already taken"
He winked towards Mikey then threw it offstage and kept going.
