"So school is tomorrow..." I sit beside Mimi as we sit in my car before my house. We were just in the back of the car and sat here calmly, leaning against one another. "How are you feeling about it?"
Mimi wraps his arm around mine, laying his head against it. I shove my hands into my hoodie pockets as I lay my head atop of his softly.
"I-I feel n-nervous. W-what if they d-don't like me? I t-think they w-will not." Mimi confesses to me in a tone that let me know he truly was nervous. The day was close to ending and once he falls asleep, he'll wake up to having to go to a new school.
A completely new environment, people, and social normality. I wouldn't say it's as bad as people make it out to be...just don't give people reason to be mean to you.
"I think people will like you. In all honesty, I don't think you should care about what people think of you. In my opinion, I genuinely think you'll do just fine." I say with full-on honesty.
Only for Mimi to pull back from me and he looks at me fully. His eyes were very serious, making me wonder what he could be thinking to look so serious.
"D-don't lie. B-be honest."
"I am being completely honest." I nod confidently, causing Mimi to pout. My hand rests upon his shoulder and I didn't know any other way I could go about this for him to believe me.
"T-the stuttering...I-I k-know it w-will annoy p-people. I-I might start my m-medication again." He starts to gaze off and really contemplate such a thing.
I shook my head at such a thing, remembering how he said he didn't like how it made him feel.
"That won't be necessary, I promise. Why don't you...get some spray or cologne that is flower-scented? Flowers ease your stuttering, right?" I remind him.
I see Mimi inhale deeply, noticing him lean towards me. His head laid in the crook of my neck. It wasn't anything inappropriate, but as if he was just laying there about to doze off.
Until he pulled back, looking at me softly.
"Just being able to be around you and your scent calms me...enough. Just like the flowers. Maybe..:it's your laundry detergent...or soap... Can you give it to me?" He asks me calmly without any shame.
I don't think he realizes how cute, yet weird he sounds. He just outright asks for my soap and laundry detergent...how will he be in school?
I'm just certain he will do just fine, but he might set himself up. I don't want him to let his nerves get the best of him.
"I don't think it's those things." I chuckle awkwardly as I was grabbing a cologne from the back of the front seat. "I kept this in the car as a precautionary measure. You can have it if you want."
Mimi takes it, taking the lid off and I watch him smell it. Only for him to suddenly sneeze from such a thing.
"I-it's too s-strong." He coughs a bit only for me to frown.
"That's what I'm wearing right now though." I chuckle at how cute he was being. Mimi leaned back against me and I turn completely.
The both of us look at one another entirely and I cradle his face.
"I-it doesn't s-smell l-like that...y-you smell so m-much better. I f-feel bad...t-that y-you have to h-help me m-more than be-being my...um..." Mimi started to glance off only for me to turn his head again. He looks at me now and I smile.
"Were you going to say boyfriend?" I raise my eyebrow at him, and he immediately blushes. "Are you fine with becoming exclusive so early on?"
"O-of course!" He exclaims loudly, only to lean back shyly. I watch him look away from me as if he was thinking about some perfect thing to say to me. Like he needed any type of words to be perfect...when I already saw him that way.
I just wait for him calmly because I liked just looking at him. It made me sad...to know I won't be the only one doing so anymore...
"Travis, w-would you l-like to...b-be my b-boyfriend?" He just asks up front now. I raise my eyebrow at him when he looked so determined and he was very serious. This was probably what he was waiting for.
Was he summing up the courage to ask me that?
"Aww man!" I groan jokingly, causing Mimi's face to become red in what I assumed was shyness. "You beat me to it!"
I saw him begin to smile and I see him begin to bite his lip.
"I...I would l-love t-to be y-yours." He murmurs as he begins to scoot closer towards me. I see him sitting on his legs in the car, his head almost touching the ceiling. Mimi's eyes sparkled on me as he seemed to be very excited.
I was...excited too, I was just better at hiding it. I wanted to see how far his excitement went.
"I just don't know Mimi," I playfully shade my face, but I could still see him and saw him looking at me in confusion," I want you to be so certain...that you could get out this car and scream to the world that I am your boyfr- Mimi!"
I gasp when I see Mimi just get out of the car, and I see him stand on my driveway. My eyes widen when I saw him take a deep breath, soon smiling.
"Travis Iverson is my boyfriend, and no one else's! He's my boyfriend, and I'm his!" He shrieks out in the neighborhood, and I reach across the seats.
I grab his arm in a rush, seeing him with a pink face. He was breathing deeply and he smiled brightly at me, his eyes sparkling even more.
I couldn't help but smile at him because he was so cute. My head droops forward, shaking my head in amazement.
"Mimi you're amazing." I breathe, chuckling.
"H-how?"
I look up at him in shock, and saw how he didn't understand how he was amazing. Before I could respond I gasp when I see the front door to my house open up. That's when I yank Mimi into the car and slam the car door behind him.
That's where I saw my mom looking at the car calmly. She didn't look annoyed or upset, but I saw the look in her eyes that wondered who was just screaming those things about her own son. I smile when she seems to see us right through the tinted car windows, even though I know she can't.
I press my lips to Mimi's temple, sighing happily.
"I'll be your boyfriend Mimi, if you be mine too-."
"Y-yes! I-I will!" He cries out with so much excitement. His hands grabbed ahold of mine even though mine were engulfing his. I watch him hug them to his chest, leaning himself against me. "I...I get to call you my boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"D-Don't f-forget the secret n-names...for Louis' sake." He reminds me, and that instantly dulled my excitement a bit. I felt my smile crack and Mimi pulls back from me.
I saw him look at me sadly too, only to force a grin on his face.
"I-I...feel r-really bad about th-this. H-He liked y-you first. I-I feel like I s-stole you from him, e-even though y-you never belonged t-to him. For the l-longest time...it just a-always f-felt that way. T-That you w-were his...and were g-going to e-eventually be his... T-Then I come and r-ruin everything." Mimi grinned solemnly up at me, and I chuckle.
I cradle his face in my hands, running my thumbs over his cheekbones. I see his eyes move from my eyes to my lips. That was answer enough as I lean towards him.
The both of us kiss at that very moment. I liked being able to kiss him and feel his soft lips upon mine. How he was very...innocent and how I had to lead everything. Even though he was innocent, he wasn't shying away from anything.
I leaned closer to him and I feel his hands rest on my shoulders. Like he was trying to hold himself up, having something to brace himself against. Because the more we kissed I had to stop myself from going overboard again. It was so hard not to do that with him, go overboard.
I would let my tongue ease into his mouth a little bit and I hear a soft moan from him. I know he meant nothing lewd by it, but it was getting to me. He could do anything at this moment and I'd find it arousing.
I grip his waist, and I feel his knees dig into my thighs. I winced on accident out of the suddenness of his bones digging into them. He noticed and pulled back a little bit, making me feel bad.
"T-Travis d-did...I d-do something?" He asks shyly, a quiver in his voice. I saw that he wanted to continue and I did too. I just...didn't want his knees digging into my thighs again.
"Of course not, besides you being so rousing... I don't know what else you could be at this moment." I whisper against his lips, and he gasps.
The both of us go back to kissing again, and this time I adjust his legs. I help him straddle my lap until he was fully on. My whole body rushing forward when I feel him just move a little bit against my crotch. His back slams against the back of the driver's seat, but that didn't seem to effect him.
It certainly effected me because now both of our crotches were rubbing against one another's at such an angle. I couldn't help but breathe in shakily to calm down, only for Mimi's lips to part in pleasure.
"Mimi...be careful..." I groan when he moans just a little bit, but that...was too much. There was only so much control I could have.
"B-be careful...?" He moans in repeat of my question, and I see him look. I was about to capture his lips again until I heard a loud knock on the car window.
I flinch when I look, seeing my older and younger sister glaring at me through the window. Mimi gasps at such a thing, and I immediately felt myself go limp just from seeing their stupid faces.
Though Mimi hugged my body, as if he was hiding against me. I smile at such a thing as I open the car door. The both of them look at me with raised eyebrows, and I mock their dumb expressions.
"Travis what are you doing?!" Diane, my younger sister, cries out in excitement more than embarrassment. I saw her trying to look at Mimi but he was too busy hiding himself against my chest. "Who is this?"
"You nosy booger eaters are disturbing my boyfriend and me." I let them know off the bat. I saw Zoe, my older sister, raise her eyebrow at my words. "You have a problem?"
"Of course not. He just doesn't look like the people you've usually been with-."
"Well, he's special! Do you two...have anyone else to bug besides us?" I wonder curiously, only for Diane to pout.
"But I want to see your boyfriend's face. He looks so cute!" Diane squeals and tries to get a closer look, and Mimi ends up peeking up from my chest. When they both make eye contact she gasped as if she found a puppy. Mimi on the other hand was back to hugging my body tightly, hiding. "He is so pretty-!"
"As are the two of you, now go away!" I shout at them, closing the car door on them now.
I saw them continue to stand there, but eventually Zoe left. Pulling Diane's arm along, even though I knew he knew obsession was probably-.
"Mimi...?" I say his name softly, and he looks up at me. His chin rested upon my chest and he peered up at me so cutely. "Sorry...those were my sisters... They are...something else."
I see Mimi grin at me, leaning towards me and his lips hovered over mine shyly. I let myself kiss them because I knew that's what he wanted. Once he got such a thing he pulled back happily.
"I d-didn't know y-you had siblings." He breathes, and I chuckle.
"It's really nothing. I have a tendency to mostly hangout with Louis because he's a boy. They like to do their own things, as do I. When I come home that's when we all come together and you see we're siblings. They are very...different from me though." I explain to him with lots of certainty.
"They look really cool, like you." Mimi compliments me stutter free, causing me to smile brightly.
"You must think Im really cool to say that stutter-free. I believe it too then!" I exclaim playfully for him. I see him smile as he hugs me tightly.
"O-of course. I...I am relaxed. Your sister...when she complimented m-me that kind of eased my worries for some odd reason. I'm rarely complimented...t-that was nice." He confesses to me softly, and he sits up on my lap. The both of us look at one another for a while until I chuckle.
I knew that stress effected his stuttering, but who'd think him meeting my sisters would calm him. Guess my family just has that power. I also think it is a family think...Mimi isn't comfortable around them.
They bring him great amounts of stress. I understand that most definitely based on what he's told me.
"You don't have to worry about stress when you're here. I promise you...this will be a relaxed place where you can be yourself. Fun fact, my mom loves to plant flowers. She has a nice garden in her backyard and the front." I inform him so that he was aware.
Mimi's eyes brighten by such a thing and he opens the car door. We both get out and I take him to the front. That's where we both look down at the plants and bushes my mom has displayed for all to see. He looked at them very happily, but my eyes went on the windows to the inside of the house.
I could see my dad standing at the window. He watched us with this look as if he was waiting for me to come inside. This look of exhaustion was on his face, and I immediately wave him off. He points at me through the window as he raises his eyebrow. I already knew what he meant by that, that I need to show prudence to time and upcoming events.
Once he walks away from the window I look at Mimi, seeing him still inspecting the flowers. But he was just calmly crouched before a bush full of yellow-looking flowers. I didn't even know what they were.
"Mimi, please fascinate me with your amazing knowledge," I start happily as I crouch beside him, "What type of flowers are these?"
"They're Forsythia...they are so pretty! Then there are lilacs over here...your mother's garden is so colorful! I love it..." He whimpers with so much excitement over the flowers, not to mention his stuttering was gone.
I just watched him, following him every time he spoke about a new flower. I know he didn't mean to show off with his flower knowledge, so I could listen quite fondly.
It was nice...to see him look so happy. Even though we'd have to part ways...soon enough and I'll have to take him home.
"Travis...this amazing. I would love to speak with your mother on where she gets her seedlings." He tells me when I informed him of how late it was.
"I will do just that. I'm going to have to take you back home though...sadly." I pout, seeing him instantly pout too. "Would you like me to pick you up tomorrow?"
"Y-yes." He nods sadly and I knew he was stressed again. I immediately pull him into my arms and hug him closely. "You know me so well..."
"I try my best to make that possible." I hum into his ear, picking him up off the ground by his waist with my arms wrapped around. He lets himself be picked up and I spin him around a little.
When he laughs a little bit I smile, about to set him down until his legs wrap around my thighs. I could barely move forward without risking dropping him.
"Mimi!" I groan playfully when he starts laughing as I practically waddle to the car. Once I got there he finally let up, but when I see his face he had a pout on his face. His eyes watering...making me very sad right on the spot. "It's okay Mimi...I'll see you in a few hours actually. It's ten a'clock, and I will be picking you up at seven in the morning. We won't be apart for that long - only nine hours."
"Y-yeah...only." He quivers a little bit, licking his lips as he looks up at me. "I m-miss you."
I cock my head at him because we haven't even left my driveway.
"We haven't even left yet Mimi." I murmur to him, his head pressing against my chest.
"I...I know."
