(Mikey x Nerd Reader) The Gangster and the Nerd

Chapter 5

'She's right. I said it has to go both ways and Mikey's been considerate after I scolded him. I have to believe in him the same way he's been supportive of me.'

Not long after the conversation, you arrive home. You bow and thank Hina once more grateful to receive wonderful advice. As you enter the house, you scroll through your texts with Mikey smiling at his weird, angled photos, his jokes, to his day with his friends. Unfortunately, your heart weighed heavy and suddenly you found yourself crouching from the overwhelming feeling and crying your heart out. "I just feel so alone. Mikey...please come back. Please be alright." You wipe your tears away as you pick yourself up. "I should try and do my homework to get my mind off of things. Maybe this time I can get something done?"

The defining silence of the house followed by the pouring rain calmed your senses while schoolwork kept you preoccupied. Every now and then you would stream videos and partly pay attention. You lean back in your chair after a good stretch then lazily spin in a pensive state. "If I do this right, I can be caught up with my credits for this semester then I'll have nothing to worry about except for exams." You ruffle your hair in frustration. Calculating your entire life was so stressful, but it got the job done in terms of achieving your goal. Your sister's friends were impressed by your knowledge in medicine, something you settled on doing in the future.

The ring of the doorbell hauls you out of your room. "Coming!" You cried. "That must be my pizza." You swing the door open to meet the delivery man, however, in a shocking turn of events you stand before a familiar face. The boy you've been waiting for nonchalantly greeting you with an unequivocal, "yo, nerd." Your jaw drops and your eyes well up becoming an ugly mess. To his surprise, you tackle the teen down drenching both of you in water. "Mikey! Mikey!" You chanted holding him tightly. "You came back to me. Where were you? You left me all alone. I was so worried about you." You vocalized before crying your heart out to the blonde who smirks in response. "I'm sorry, (Y/N)." He whispered sweetly as he embraces you with the same force allowing you to decompress until you are comfortable to move.

After a long reunion, you took turns taking a shower. You offered him the bathroom while you used the master bedroom one. You finished first to provide hospitality. As you do the laundry you realize you were practically being a wife and on top of that, got a sneak peek of his boxers. Your entire face burns a red hue having to process so much. "I bought a spare change of clothes. I'll leave it out for-" The door clicks open revealing a half-naked Mikey with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair damp from a steamy shower and water residue trickling down his well-built body. You're left frozen while he candidly takes the spare clothes. "Thanks."

"Um...n-no problem." You said. As if it wasn't worse enough, he locks eyes on you. "Eh? Something wrong?"

"Are you serious? You're naked! Couldn't you wait until after I dropped off your clothes?" You whined and then your face away before a bloody nose could occur. "I don't see a problem for my girlfriend to see me shirtless. Let me guess, you've never seen a shirtless guy before?" He teased. "A-absolutely not! Why am I still standing here talking to you? P-please just put on some clothes." Mikey howls in laughter enjoying your innocence. "My nerdy girlfriend is too shy to see me without a shirt? You really are cute~"

"Mikey!" You growled. "I'm going, I'm going." He closes the door behind you allowing you a chance to compose yourself. "Unbelievable." You grumbled.

''Still, he's right. We're a couple now and it's natural for us to want to see each other naked. That includes doing it."

Again your face grows flustered. You try to shake the thoughts away. "Damn it, Mikey." You huffed as your heart raced over the image.

Later, you and Mikey agreed to have a movie Marathon with the pizza you ordered earlier. "I can't believe you were gonna eat a large-sized pizza all by yourself. Good thing I showed up, otherwise you would have gotten fat." You snap at him in offense, "that's friggin rude!" You shrink in your seat starting to feel insecure to which Mikey disapproves. "I'm kidding. Eat as much as you want. I don't care how you look as long as you're happy." He offers you a second slice, you could see a slight blush on his face. It was evident he felt shy about comforting others. It's a vulnerable side to witness. Gladly, you take the slice. "Hey...where did you go? You went quiet on me and I figured it was gang-related." You sadden as you replay the past three weeks. "You're correct." He affirmed. "We were planning a war against another group who threatened our territory. Sorry I went cold turkey on you. It was a stressful event." He sighed and leans back on the sofa with his eyes closed. In his peaceful state, you wanted to reach over and run your fingers through his hair.

'That's a stupid idea. What is wrong with you, (Y/n)? You're being a creeper.'

Shaking away the idea, you imparted, "oh, do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really." You hang your head, "so there is nothing I can do?" From the corner of his eye, Mikey could see your disappointment. "Being here with you is enough." A soft smile tugs at your lips causing him to blush in return. "I don't know how you being with me helps, but I'm glad I could be of service?" Mikey sends you a thumbs up of approval. "That's the spirit." He chuckled. As dorky as his actions are, they didn't bother you in the least because you learned it was Mikey and in his words "it's enough". As the two of you watch the movie, you notice his hand resting near you. As nerve-wracking as it would be for a novice girlfriend like yourself, you missed the blonde to care about anything. You were at an all-time high and you want him close to you before he slipped away. Unaware of your boldness, your fingers curl over his until both hands fit perfectly. The blonde shifts to you trying to act normal by watching the movie, instead he smirks and pulls you close onto his lap for his head to rest above your head. "Better." He chimed. All your hard work into making a daring move only to be outshined in one fell swoop by your boyfriend. It should come as no surprise since he's unafraid of anything.

Your heart raced at an increasing rate and your stomach felt like knots. It was as though you were going to explode out of embarrassment. You wondered if he could feel your heart racing and if was being polite by keeping quiet. His arms wrapped around you are damn near touching your chest it's making you giddy. "Stop squirming." He whispered. His voice is low and the warmth of his breath makes you shiver. "If you keep moving, it will be bad news for the both of us." You couldn't see it, but his face is just as flustered as yours and with all his might, he's been trying to resist his primal urges. "S-sorry." You whispered back. Internally, Mikey has complimented you over the sound of your petite voice. It's evident how nervous you are with the position he's placed you in. Too lost in his own world, the brute nuzzles into your soft, sweet-scented hair. "H-hey! Don't nestle into my neck!" You squeaked. "But (Y/n)-chan smells so good. It's like holding a fluffy pillow. I want to fall asleep on you." He whined. "N-no!"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?"

"No, Mikey!" The same boy lets out the most fakest, annoying cry trying to convince you to give in. You chuckle at his persistence finding his attempts adorable.

'Never change. I hope things can stay like this every day.'
