To and back💙

Chapter 6

I pointed to the pastries and a smile played on his lips "And whatd you eat?" I stayed silent as i guiltily looked up at him, "Y/n... what did you eat?" "...Gelato" he burst out laughing "For breakfast?" "I got you some too." he smiled down at me "And while i appreciate that and i will be eating that nutella croissant when were back..." he slid on some flip flops and gently grabbed my wrist "Were getting you actual food." I groaned as he dragged me out the door, he made me pick out a fruit and something else, can you believe it?

Hes like a retired lunch lady

After we made it back up to our room he sat on his bed with a plate in his lap eating, and i did the same, though my legs were crisscrossed. Opening my messages again i see another message from that weird stalker number, and if your wondering, yes i have blocked them, they always come back, i dont know how.

I throw my head back and groan, blocking this number as well.

"Whats wrong?" "Nothing its just.." I tell Mico all about my weird stalker problems and he raises an eyebrow "What the fuck? Thats gotta be illegal." "right?!" "How long has this been happening?" 'It started a bit after the Ithaca saga premiere party last year when i was visiting family up in Montreal." his face registered more concern than confusion now "You should report that." i shrugged "no, really, when were back report it, thats so weird."

I nodded "yeah your right, i will." he nodded and went back to eating and looked down at his phone, only to almost spit everything out as he choked in shock "What?"

"The tiktok you posted" i giggled a bit "Yeah sorry i shouldve asked first" he shook his head furiously, suddenly he was way quieter. "No i- Check the um, comments." He was so uncharacteristically stiff, what was up?

Opening my phone i sign back into my main to see all of the Epic/ Mico fandom has in fact seen it, and on top of that because of my lack of better audio judgement abilities

People were not just speculating our relationship but...

Shipping us.

yeah i um may have...

fucked up.

Opening the comments i see the top few and immediately feel my soul leaving my body.

EpicEnthusiast: TELEMACHUS X HELEN???

Ema (CEO OF MICO NATION): ARE THEY.?? CEO OF MICO NATION APPROVED?

TROY: Guys they arent dating, no😭

at least troy had someone's back for once.

I liked troys comment and it seemed to send a message and most things cooled down after an hour. After multiple phone calls with other cast members asking about what happened and having to explain how i just didnt pay attention to the audio, they all just laughed and said itd simmer down in a little while. Man i fucked up.

After a while of silence in the room i look up at Mico, zoned out, deep in thought.

"Im so sorry" I wince

He nods slowly, eyes flickering from me to the spot on the wall he'd found so interesting "No no its... its good." He said quietly, awkwardly.

After silence that lasted way too long, we finally make eye contact. His eyes are wide, not worried not concerned, just shocked. I can even make out a tint in his tan skin.

I slowly start to giggle, his face cracks into a smile as he starts laughing too. But im laughing way harder, barely able to speak, to breathe. "You- You think this is funny!" he gasps out though chuckles "No! no! i dont!" I stutter as i throw my head back and cover my definitely red face.

"Liar!" He yells playfully, I stand up, god i have to calm down, i have to cool down in the other room for sureee. "No i dont! This is terrible!" I say walking past his bed, gasping out giggles, my face still partially covered at the sides with my hands

"No! Dont walk out on me!" Suddenly i felt hands on my hips as im pulled back, suddenly my back is against soft cushioning but im still laughing and so is he and theres a finger pointed in my face, lecturing me about the 'sincerity' of this issue. As everything de-escalates i gasp and take in my surroundings. On a bed with a familiar scent, but not mine, and large hands glueing my arms to my sides, and lastly a face above me, also inspecting me. How we got like this

How we got this far.

Then we make eye contact, 1, 2, 3 seconds passes before his eyes widen and lips press together, looking crazed. My expression mimes his.

Then we laugh again, his grip loosening and letting go so he can prop himself on one elbow as we laugh again.

after we both calm down i find myself on one side of the bed, hands on my stomach looking at the ceiling, and he mirrors me.

"In all seriousness though, were like, cooked."

"Oh, for sure."
