[Shit shit shit, he's so busted. God damnit. Well, he's told Daisy a bit of what's going on and Lucy knows what happened that night. But Paulo wasn't one he'd told, he'd assumed Lucy might've told him.
[Hearing Mike's voice brings Paulo down. The fire of rage is brought down to a very angry simmer. He swallows and lowers his voice. Then he sends a location marker.]
I live here. It's my day off and my bro is out with his boyfriend. Come on over.
[He hastily throws on his track uniform and goes for a jog. It takes him a bit to get over to Paulo's place, mostly cause he's wrapped up in his own thoughts. Half an hour later, there's a knock on the door.]
[Mike's a bit sweaty from running, he's wiping it off his forehead a bit when Paulo opens the door. The smell of food hits him like a truck and his stomach makes noises at it. He'd been skipping too many meals, only stuffing enough in him to get by. Not nearly enough.]
[Paulo hears that grumble and isn't sure what to say. Part of him wants to be his usual self but another part of him screams to not be that. He swallows.]
[He isn't sure what to do other than step inside. He looks around unsure of where to go and checking the place out. He says nothing to that, just looks at Paulo with an unreadable expression. He knows he's in trouble here.]
[Normally Mike would make a crack about someone being named Dick, but he's not in the mood for that. He looks in the directions that Paulo's pointing out and quietly heads for the kitchen. He slides into a kitchen chair where the food is and ignores the burger. He pokes at the fries waiting for Paulo to join him.]
[Paulo follows and sits down. He takes a burger and eats a fry, watching Mike intently. His ears fold back and he doesn't say anything for a moment. Just watching his friend and feeling at a loss about what to say.]
[Mike's own ears fold back. He can't even pretend with the food right now. He sighs and shoves the burger away, gently though. He twirls the fry between his fingers.]
... You remember the day when I mentioned a fight with Sandy? That's when she said she'd cheated on me. I don't know how far it went, but she told me she loves him. [And he called him a "needless distraction" the day after their fight.]
[Paulo waits until sunset. He has to. Well a bit before. He'll swear a hoodie and hide from the last rays of the sun. He is still wearing it when he knows on Mike's door and waits, his tail flicking behind him. His fur seems a little less soft looking and his golden eyes are more red now.
Also his fangs now stick out of his top lip a little.]
[Mike cleans up the place a little bit. He's not messy, messy. But he does likes his space clean. Ears turn towards the knock on the door and he moves to open it. He stops and stares at the sight of Paulo.]
N-No! I ate before coming over. [He says a indignantly and walks in.]
You remember that big ass blackout? Well vampires came out and grabbed me through my front door and uh...ate me. Dick was there and he saved me but it was kinda too late.
[Paulo follow and flops on the couch. He pulls the hood down on his hoodie and swallows. Right. It wasn't the vampire stuff only he wanted to talk about.]
I guess...uh. I mean there was the vampire stuff and something else.
...
But first. How are you feeling? Any better lately?
[Mike considers. How is he feeling? Eating and sleeping sure is helping and with Sandy out of the picture, it's a weight off his shoulders at least. It's a slow process to get back to normal though.]
A bit better. It's an adjustment, but I'll get there.
[Have a curious look.] What's this something else?
[Even being undead, Paulo can blush a little. And his cheeks get red as he folds his arms and taps his foot a couple of times.]
It was that. I...
[He takes a deep breath and thinks about what Rinku told him and how everyone keeps saying he deserves to be happy. And even if he doesn't fully believe it, he knows Mike does and fuck this shit. Might as well go for it.]
I still got a crush on you and I wanted to talk about maybe uh telling you I'm gonna flirt with you and shit and if you wanna go on a date and hold hands and stuff I'd be down.
[Mike is surprised to hear that. And it shows on his face a bit. Normally when he rejects someone, they just move on without him. Daisy started dating Abbey shortly he'd rejected her, Lucy went straight to Paulo and now James seems more interested in David than him. What kills him on the inside is that his friendship with Lucy is gone, but Daisy still talks to him at least. James? He has no clue what's going on there.
Feh. Wouldn't surprise him if James did quit being his friend.
and Paulo? Still here too and crushing on him. Honestly, cause of his relationship with Sandy, he hadn't given any thought to having crushes on guys.]
... What about Daisy? James, he -- said something about you two having a thing? Like she'd drop by your work and you two would just talk. She also told me that she was over me. How do you feel about her?
[Mike had teased Paulo over Daisy during their new years eve talk.]
