If I Get My Way. (Mikey Way x Reader)

All the waitin'

"Like me."

Fed up of being the shoulder you cry on

I want to be the shoulder you lie on

Everyday, every night

I'll be fine, I'll be fine

If you're mine

You could practically feel your heart hammering against your ribcage, and it was only once your heart rate had picked up and Mikey had widened his eyes at you that you realized what you'd just said.

You were certain that there were plenty more conventional ways to confess your love to someone, but you were already in this deep, so you figured you might as well just dive all in.

Taking a deep breath to steady yourself, you closed your eyes for a moment before opening them to meet Mikey's intense gaze.

Fed up of being the one that you lean on

I want to be the one that you dream of

Everyday, every night

I'll be fine (I'll be fine, I'll be fine)

"Mikey, for the past few months, every time you and that-that thing would get into a fight, you'd stroll into my house, plop down on my couch and I'd play therapist. Well, from now on, I'm not doing that anymore. I've already made my feelings on the matter quite clear; I think that you should leave her. Obviously, my advice doesn't seem to have had much of an effect, so," you drew in a shaky breath and threw your arms outwards, "drastic times, I guess."

If I get my way, I'mma take care of you

I can take her place; let me get my way, ooh

If you let me try, just one night, I can prove

I can take her place; let me get my way, ooh

"I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you from the very second I saw your stupid, dorky face, and I honestly don't think that I'll ever stop being in love with you. Each and every time you come here and complain to me about her, and every time I see how much it's tearing you apart, it kills me. I don't want you to be unhappy. I don't want you to be hurting. I want you to be happy – and I want to be the one to make you happy. I want to be that overly supportive, way too affectionate girlfriend who comes to all of your shows and cooks you dinner every night. I just want to make you the happiest you can be."

Mikey opened his mouth to speak, but you held up a finger to stop him.

Don't you know I try

To forget about you and I

Being more than just friends, oh I, need ya

'Cause I've been on your side

Long before this new girl came by

She does nothin' but tell you lies

I know

"Before you say anything," you continued, sighing, "I just want to say that I've tried to get over you and to not think about being with you and what loving you would be like. Clearly, I haven't done a great job at that. But damn it, Mikey, I've been there for you from the beginning all the way 'til now. I was with you before her, I loved you before her, and I am better for you than her. Maybe you feel the same way, maybe you don't..." you stopped to run your tongue over your lips and rub your arm, "but at least now you know."

If I get my way, I'mma take care of you

I can take her place; let me get my way, ooh

If you let me try, just one night, I can prove

I can take her place, let me get my way

Oh woah woah oh

All was eerily silent as the both of you looked at one another, unblinking and unspeaking. Then, a ghost of a smile danced along Mikey's lips. There was warmth coursing through his body unlike he'd ever felt before, and as he reached out to cup your face, it intensified.

"So," he started, rubbing his thumb over your cheek gently.

If I get my way, I'mma take care of you

I can take her place; let me get my way, ooh

If you let me try (me try), just one night, I can prove

I can take her place; let me get my way, ooh

If I get my way, I'mma take care of you

I can take her place; let me get my way (ooh)

If you let me try, just one night, I can prove

I can take her place, let me get my way, ooh

"This is what true love feels like, huh?"
