Blake/Michael Part 2

The next morning Blake and Michael barely spoke to each other. Not because they were mad at each other but because of the awkward moment they had the previous night.

Abraham could not stop talking since he woke up. He complained about his ankle and said that he was not leaving no matter what. Blake and Michael just listened and occasionally made eye contact with each other but quickly looked away after a while.

Blake and Michael did their best to avoid each other for the rest of the day. When it was time for the bottom 3 to be selected everyone gathered in the usual place. Michael had struggled in the recording studio again this week and ended up in the bottom 3 along with Lily and Abraham. Lily was upset but took it as a challenge. Abraham on the other hand did not take it well. 

Michael was unsure what was going on in his head. He thought maybe it was for the best if he went home. Blake was his best friend in the competition and now they were barely speaking to each other. Going home would be easier than competing with each other, and competing with each other would be a lot easier than admitting he had feeling for him.

"No!" he said out loud, he was over-thinking this just like he did everything else. So he got started rehearsing his song.

An hour later and three songs later they were back in the waiting room. The cheese lamp was glowing brightly as the Ryan was busy making his decision. Blake and Michael were still not talking but only because everyone else was gathered and this really wasn't something they wanted to discuss in front of everyone. 

Abraham got up and walked into the room where Ryan was. Everyone was wondering why Abraham went back to talk to Ryan. Except for Michael his mind was busy thinking about how this might be his last day in the competition. His last day competing for a guest role on glee and his last day with Blake. Abraham walks back in and sits back down where he was sitting before he left. 

A few minutes later Robert walks in and tells them that the list was up. They get up and the safe contenders wished the bottom 3 lots of luck and they give each other hugs as they normally did. When it was Blake's turn to hug Michael he did so without hesitating. Michael's embarrassing moment with Blake the night before was forgotten and all that mattered was this moment, their friendship, this hug. The hug that Michael never wanted to end because he felt safe in Blake's big arms. All the aches and pains were gone and so were his doubts.

Once their hug was over, Michael was sure of two things, he did not want to go home and that he did have feelings for Blake.

Abraham, Lily and Michael walked up to the call back list one by one. Michael's knees were shaking with every step he took. He closed his eyes and stood in front of the callback list hoping that when he opened his eyes he would not see his name at the bottom. Michael opened his eyes and saw that he was called back which meant another week in the competition, another week to prove that he could win, and another week to be with Blake.

That night they said good bye to Abraham. Blake and Michael were the only two guys left. They had the entire boy’s dorm to themselves. Michael wanted to tell Blake he was falling for him, but the cameras were still rolling and he didn't want to say anything in front of everyone.

Once Abraham went home so did the cameramen and the girls went to their dorm to sleep. Blake and Michael went to their room and realized how empty it felt. It was just them two in a large room once shared with the other contenders. But the awkwardness between them filled the room and made it feel smaller.

Blake took off his shirt and pants since he slept in his boxers. Michael looked at Blake as he did so.

"Blake...." Michael started.

But he couldn't find the words to finish his sentence.

"Michael, don't worry about what happened last night it happens to everybody. We have no control over it." Blake said in a gentle tone as to not make the situation more awkward than it already was.

"Yeah your right I'm sorry though" Michael replied, but he still wanted to tell him how he felt.

Michael wanted to tell Blake that he wanted him, he wanted him so bad, and it was driving him mad! But what if this was his chance to make things normal again. They could go back to just being normal friends. Michael knew deep down that he would rather be Blake's friend than just somebody that he used to know.

Michael was being Michael and was over-thinking everything yet again.

"Michael let's just pretend it never happened OK?" Blake asked.

"Yeah okay, friends?" Michael stretched out his right hand as he said this.

"Friends!" Blake reaches for Michael's hand and he shakes it firmly as he gives Michael a big smile.

Michael see's Blake's smile and his heart skipped a beat. That's when he gets the courage to pull Blake in and gives him a kiss right on the lips.

At that very moment Michael remembered the lyrics to the first song he sang for Ryan during his first time in the bottom 3.

"Lucky I'm in love with my best friend!"
