Chapter Text
As warm light slowly made its way into the room Jeremy began to wake up, he felt so warm and safe he didn't dare open his eyes for the chance that this was all still a dream. Him in the Hello Mellow house, joking, drinking hot chocolate and playing games to then end the day with cuddling with his years long idol and crush as he fell asleep.
However his eyes shot open as he felt himself get pulled closer by the warm and strong arm that turned out to be the reason of his comfort. Fuck this was definitely real, oh god, Jeremy felt his face heat up and his heartbeat quicken. Okay, if he just stayed very still it'd be fine and Mellow.. or well, Michael, wouldn't even notice that he was awake. Right? Wrong. Because soon enough a soft but groggy voice broke the silence.
"Morning love, are you okay?" he asked and Jeremy was convinced that he was gonna die right then and there with how fast his heart was beating from hearing just a simple word, 'love'. "Jerm?" he heard the voice question him again as he realized he hadn't answered yet "oh yea no, im totally fine haha, why wouldn't I be? I'm good. Totally fully okay, mhm." Jeremy answered as quickly as he could his voice cracking from how high pitched it went.
Michael giggled as he pulled the flustered boy to face him. "You're so cute" he giggled as he used both his warm hands to squish Jeremy's face, only making it more red. "No I'm not" Jeremy said dragging out the last word as he escape Michaels's hands and hid in the boys chest wrapping his arms and legs around him "you so are though!!" Michael returned the hug and kissed the top of his head.
The sound Jeremy made in response can only be described as a pathetic little squeal making Michael pull back with confusion in his eyes and a dumb and proud grin on his face "why do you keep kissing me?" Jeremy sounded embarrassed as Michael's smile only grew "Oh my goodness are you really gonna make me spell it out?" He giggled as Jeremy face was taken over by confusion "I like you! You idiot!! Now let me know if you like me back so I can kiss you properly"
Jeremy just looked at him, being unsure of what to do, he just started rambling again
"what? No you, uh, you shouldn't say that. I mean ofcourse I like you back I've had a crush on you since like forever and would not at all mind kissing you haha I shouldn't have said that, I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable, that was stupid of me so just forget I-"
he was interrupted by a short moment of Michaels lips touching his "..said anything" he continued softly in awe of what just happened, he stared at Michael's lips for a while remembering the touch.
"Can uhm.." Jeremy cleared his throat still feeling a bit awkward "can we.. do that again?" Michael smiled bright and before he knew it they were kissing again, properly this time, Jeremy let his eyes fall closed as he did his best to remember the soft touch of Michael's lips on his.
Michael moved his hand to where Jeremy's shirt had risen up a bit and slowly rested it on his bare waist sending butterflies through Jeremy's stomach as his hand found Michael's jaw.
After a few minutes which felt like mere seconds they broke apart, nervous grins spread across both of their flushed faces as their eyes met.
"Hey.. Jerm?"
"Y-yea?"
"Would you.." Michael took a deep breath "Would you be my player 2?"
"I- what? Yes. Absolutely a 100% yes oh my god-" Jeremy started tripping over his words unable to contain his excitement as he squeezed his now boyfriend into a big hug.
They both couldn't believe what happened as they continued to lay there hugging eachother only every so often breaking apart slightly to kiss eachother.
The later it got the more hungry the boys became, so they decided to go eat breakfast. Michael and Jeremy walked downstairs still giggling and holding hands as they entered the kitchen.
They decided on having cereal, which Michael claimed to be an expert in making even though the taller boy wasn't sure how that worked as it was just cereal and milk in a bowl. But he wasn't going to question it as this gave him the opportunity to lean against the kitchen counter as he admired every bit of his new love while Michael worked around the kitchen.
Being to lost in thought he didn't realize how Michael had now been staring back at him. With a teasing glint in his eyes he walked over and put his hands on either side of Jeremy.
"Enjoying the view my love? Can't believe you already can't keep your eyes off of me" Michael said his face now so close Jeremy couldn't help but stare into those mesmerizing golden brown eyes. "uh- yea- sorry, it's just, uh, I like, think you're very pretty and I'm still kind of uhm.. processing that we are dating?" He answered with a nervous chuckle as his face burned red again.
Before Michael could react with another flirty comment a new voice sounded through the house "RICHIE YOU OWE ME 20 BUCKS!!" Jake yelled, the other two shocked boys turning around just in time to see him sprinting away.
As they turned back to face eachother and heard a faint "OH FOR FUCKS SAKE" they both erupted into a fit of giggles and laughter which only died down once they looked eachother in the eyes. Jeremy swore he could see an entire space of stars, moons and suns in his boyfriend's eyes from how full of love they were.
They shared another kiss that could only be described as two loves finally finding their true destiny.
