“I’m Addicted. I’m Addicted to Your Touch and I Need to Protect You.” (O/O)

He sighs and nods, smiling a little. "Okay. I know you're a stubborn ass, so I'll let it go."

Laerie smiled and winked. “Great choice. Okay, let’s go now before we miss first mod.”

"Fair enough." He chuckles and start walking, making sure to stay by Laerie's side. He couldn't let their slimy fingers touch Laerie.

Laerie walked with him, humming happily. He pushed open the back door and let Micheal out first, then followed behind.

Michael chuckles. "So. You ready for summer?" He asks curiously.

Laerie nodded, smiling. “I am. I can’t wait to go to college.”

He smiles. "I guess…" He was working at his father's restaurant. He was a manager in training, so he didn't really have to worry about college. He was taking it online anyways and was already more than half way towards his bachelor degree since he had been working his ass off for the past two years.

Laerie raised his eyebrows curiously. “Are you attending college? I’m going out-of-state. It’s gonna be wonderful!”

Out of state? No no no… He began to internally panic. "I'm taking an online course. Already close to getting my bachelor's."

What if he kidnapped Laerie?//

(Hmmmm nah. Let’s not go that far. There’s the chance of Laerie loosing trust/love in Micheal, which the latter doesn’t want.)

Laerie smiled. “Hey, good for you! I’ve never been an online type of person.”

Hmmm. So how should this work?//

He smiles. "It's easier for me." He says softly.

(I think Micheal should try and follow him somehow. Like, move or stay with him down there.)

Laerie smiled back. “A lot of people say that, and hey, I have no room to judge.”

He smiles and nods gently. "I suppose." He was only part way listening. He needed to plan some deaths.

Laerie squinted at him. “Are you alright? You look distracted.”

He starts and smiles. "Yes. I'm wonderful. Why wouldn't I be?" He laughs gently and ruffles Laerie's hair.

(Thanks for the part in your user, Bleu)

Laerie gave Micheal a look. “You just look distracted. It worries me a bit.”

I'm always here to support you, love//

"Ah. I'm just thinking about what we should do this summer before you head off." He chuckles.

(And I you. I appreciate it a lot.)

Laerie shrugged and smiled. “Dunno! I’m going off to South Dakota soon, though, for vacation.”

It's not a problem. It's what family is for, right?//

He nods and smiles weakly. Great more leaving. He looks at the other. "How so? Why? Who ya gonna visit?"

(Yeah.)

Laerie grinned. “An old friend of mine. She lives really close to the mountains, so she invited me down.”

She? He wanted to strangle something. "That sounds wonderful. You're so lucky." He says happily.

Laerie nodded. “I’m very excited. It’ll be a lot of fun. I’ll get to see her again. And she has a wonderful cottage that she owns, now.”

He nods as he smiles. Inside though his mind was somewhere else. What if he liked her better then him? What if he never saw Laerie again? No. That wouldn't happen

Laerie looked up. “Oh, we’re almost there! Time flies while you’re with friends.”

Michael nods and smiles. "Indeed it does."

Laerie opened the door for Micheal and bowed him in. “After you!”

Michael chuckles. "Thank you, kind sir." He says happily.

Laerie laughed and tailed him into the cafe. “You’re welcome.”

He hums as he enters the cafe, chuckling happily as he stands beside the other. The cafe was quiet at the moment.

Laerie looked around. “Well, let’s order.”
