What do i even do? He did so much for me before sleeping last night, even though he was just as tired as i was. HE TUCKED ME IN.
No way im waking him up, plus we have this whole day to ourselves, then we fly out to Epirus, THEN were out to Athens, for Micos trip, oh my GOD thats a shit ton of planes.
I really need to pay Jorge and Talya back.
Anyway my point still stands, he needs his beauty sleep. He kinda looked silly, in a good way, i mean, his hair was practically a part 2 to my pooderanian hair, (If u remember that whole fiasco). I giggle and take a picture of him.
i start scrolling on tiktok, then one of his videos come up on my fyp. I pay no mind to the song, its his so it fits, I film a basic lip syncing video, making a point hes sleeping in the back. I watch back the video seeing as I lip sync to the song then pan the camera over to him, now hes in the cameras view and i'm still lip syncing to 'Prove me Wrong'. I caption it "Sleeping beauty" with a few hashtags and then post it, I have to switch to my spam account just because of the vast amount of notifications i start getting.
I stand up veryyyy slowly, then walk to the bathroom, veryyyyyy slowly, and shower.
As i get dressed and do my makeup im still humming 'Prove me Wrong', then humming turns into faint/whisper singing. (Gotta stay quiet for the princess in the other room)
"I keep telling my friends your not that into me but, I hope you prove me wrong!"
My currently blowing up video flashes in my mind, i giggle as i remeber his face at that part, where i pointed to him
Oh what the hell is wrong with me
I LIP SYNCED PROVE ME FUCKING WRONG WHILE ACTING LIKE I WAS TALKING TO HIM?
Oh my god deep breaths
Calm down.
No one probably noticed or cared
Its fine.
As i put on my shoes to go to the downstairs breakfast buffet i thought about what id get him, he cared for me last night and so now it was my turn. When i made it down to the lobby the food looked delicious but get this, they had GELATO! AT THE BREAKFAST BAR! I got myself some and got Mico some too (Along with some pastries) and went back to our room, success.
I carefully put his gelato in the fridge and devoured mine, i could live here man.
I set the pastries on the counter and took the cup of water he got for me and drank it before washing the cup. I then got him water to wake up to as well
Checkmate.
He woke up about 15 minutes later, it was late morning and he saw i was already ready as he sat up and rubbed his temple "God.. what time is it?" He asked as he stretched and yawned.
"Oh.. 10:30?" He turned his head to the nightstand for his glasses and was greeted by the glass of water i got him, and for a split second i saw his eyes flash to mine before a small smile played on his lips as he got up and stretched again and heading for the bathroom to brush his teeth and hair, etc.
"I got you breakfast!" I called out from the bedroom, on my phone checking messages
Oh shit thats right! Talya! I completely forgot about texting her last night
I typed out a quick summary about everything and responded to Masons grateful text after sending him that gem on the plane last night and looked up at Mico who was leaving the bathroom, obviously less tired. "Really? Thanks, whatd you get?" he said as he leaned against the bedroom door frame. I walked over the the counter and freezer in our tiny room beside him
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."
