Stage Seven: Theres some rules

Michael walked into work with an overall happy feeling. Geoff seemed to notice that he was more lively in the let's plays and was more friendly with the others than usual. In the middle of recording a minecraft let's play Geoff decided to confront him. "Jeeze, someone's getting laid recently" he joked. "Probably Michael"Ryan added in. Michael scoffed and shrugged, "nah, just met someone" he tried to make it sound as innocent as possible. "Oh is it someone special? Are you dating someone mi-cool?" Gavin rapidly fired questions at him. "No! No...well, I will be soon...hopefully. but eh" Michael settled for another shrug.

Geoff smiled to himself, he'd seen Michael at his lowest time and had helped him to be more open. He couldn't have felt more happier for him, that he had this chance. The problem was if it went wrong, Michael would be devistated. Geoff knew exactly whet would happen, he'd shut himself in his apartment and wouldn't talk to anyone for weeks. If it was really bad, he might go as far as to possibly not even let Geoff persuade him out of the apartment. Geoff wasn't really a friend to Michael, he acted more like a father. Hence why Michael didn't consider him a friend, as for the others they were...acquaintances.

At the end of the day Michael was packing up some things, Geoff had offered to drive him home. He was sure Geoff wanted to know about this person he was talking about. The older man put his hands on his hips as he smiled at Michael. "So who is he?" Geoff asked, he knew for a while about Michael being gay. Michael looked up from his bookbag and chuckled nervously, "His name is Ray" "oh really? And where did you meet Ray?" Geoff stepped closer with curiousity. "Uh well...you know...around" Michael shrugged and zipped up the bag. Geoff raised an eyebrow at his answer, "ok look, before you say anything...he's really great we've skyped and played some xbox and I really like him." Michael spat out at once. "Ok? So are you gonna tell me where you met him?" Geoff said, sounding more concerned. "Well...I was on Tumblr and i-" "wait wait. You met this kid on tumblr? Jesus Michael do you even know how old he is?" Geoff's voice immediately turned to one meant to scold.

"Well no i-" Michael was becoming less encouraged to ride all the way home with Geoff. "How do you know this guy isn't some psychopath?"Geoff continued further. Michael automatically shut down. He didn't say another word as Geoff continued to tell him what was wrong with the situation. Just as Geoff was about to finish his rant he saw what he'd done. "Oh...I...I'm sorry Michael. I didn't mean to..." Geoff put a hand on his shoulder. The younger backed away and shook his head, "it's ok I understand" he sighed. "No, Michael...if you really like this guy I won't stop you from chasing after him but...just be careful ok?" Geoff gave him a sympathetic smile. Michael gave a slight smile back, beginning to walk out. "Hey!" Geoff yelled after him and pulled him into a hug. "I really didn't mean to put you down like that buddy". Michael smiled into Geoff's shirt, he loved Geoff like a father, he probably still would have been stuck in a house somewhere without him. He could say that he owed a lot to Geoff and that he was greatful.-
