Ex?

Mike doesn't know why, but he was feeling so light and free, it's been two days since Gavin told him that they are going to get to know each other. Mike never knew that those words really gonna make him this happy. It's crazy.

Usually, mike doesn't act like this. He is a very strict person and doesn't like people hovering around me and people not doing their job well. He doesn't know how but Gavin is changing him. Around Gavin, he is this new person who can joke and play around. Mild came to visit mike in the morning. He said mike looks like a smiley goof and it creeped him out. Mike thought 'He is an idiot who doesn't know how it feels to be with someone you like.' Mike told mild 'Being around Gavin really feels amazing. It feels like I have found my missing piece even when I never looked for it. It just came to me. Unannounced... Unpredictably and there is nothing more I can wish for.'

Gavin has been coming to see mike in the evening, he even made soup for him as mike was wounded. But to mike he was so crazily thinking 'he made soup for me, I mean like 'himself' 'with his own hands' I never tasted something so delicious before. I can't believe how amazing his cooking is. I can eat his handmade food forever.' Mike was on cloud nine.

In those two days, they talked a lot like a lot. Mike gets to know about Gavin's profession. Like what he does and what he wants to do. He loves helping people. And he can cook. Most importantly, he found out he lives alone. That made mike more happy thinking he can go over to his house anytime.

Today mike is getting discharged, he is going home. He felt like 'Finally, prison break. I hate the smell of hospitals. And Gavin is here to accompany me. He really cares personally.'

"So are you ready to go?" Gavin asked as he walked into the room. Mike was packing his bag ready to leave.

"Yeah, I just need to talk to the doctor and then we can go" mike informed with a sweet smile

"I just talked to him. He told me that everything Is fine, but you need to come for a check-up weekly." Gavin said.

Mike smirked "so now you are my caring wif..." as he was about to finish the sentence he stopped in the middle thinking 'oh god, what I was about to say he is gonna get mad and leave.'

But Gavin laughed "shut up unless you want to walk to your home"

mike thought to himself 'That's a relief that he didn't get mad' calming down, he said "okay, okay my bad"

In-car...

"So don't you have any friends or family here? I never saw someone coming to visit you"

"Actually, I have one close friend, he comes in the morning and leaves because right now he is managing my position at the company. And my family members are in America. " Mike told Gavin.

"Oh, I get it. You didn't tell your parents about your accident" Gavin asked in curiosity.

"Actually, they are always busy even if I told them they are really not gonna come all the way here. So... Why bother? Right???"

"Is it that bad?" Gavin gave him a look of concern mike felt sadness in his tone.

"No, it's just that I don't want to bother them." saying that mike looked away outside the window. He doesn't want to talk about his family as they were never been in his life. His parents were always busy for him. He had spent his childhood waiting for his parents to come around, but his parents were always busy with their business. So in the end when they wanted to move to America, he never stopped them, but he doesn't go with them either, so he stayed behind and build his own life and a career for himself.

As mike kept his face on the other side so Gavin never asked anything more. The atmosphere in the car ride was completely silent.

They reached makes a home in 15 minutes. Mike looked at Gavin as he pulled over the car. Gavin looked at Mike with wide eyes.

"Do you live here alone?" Gavin asked.

mike chuckled "yeah"

Anybody would react like Gavin if they see mike's house. He lives in a mansion that is attached to a big lawn and a basketball court. When he bought this mansion he like the space and the interiors, but it feels lonely sometimes.

"You should have told me you are a prince" Gavin laughed.

"Oh, stop it. It's not that big. " Mike stepped out of the car and so did Gavin. Gavin looked around then took mike's bag out of the trunk. And then they entered the mansion.

As Gavin entered the house he chuckled.

"What???" Mike asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

"Not that big. Huh? " Gavin chuckled again.

mike just rolled his eyes and then called his maid "Alice???"

"Who is Alice? Don't tell me you lied to me. Do you have a wife already? What about your kids? How many kids do you have? " Gavin's expression changed from a fun chuckle to furious curiosity and he bombards mike with questions.

"Calm down Gavin calm down. Alice is just my maid." Mike told him while patting his shoulder

"Oh!!! I am sorry" Gavin gave an awkward smile and looked away in embarrassment.

Now mike laughed "no, it's okay. I can see the jealousy in your eyes" mike liked the way Gavin reacted, he can sense it from his reaction that Gavin likes him a bit.

"I am not jealous and what you saw in my eyes is called anger. I don't like people lying to me, " he pouted seeing him as this mike thought to himself 'god he looks so cute right now can I kiss him?'

Just then Alice appeared. Wearing a blue and white uniform kind of dress.

"Sir... You are finally home? How are you now? " She looked really worried for his master.

Alice is a 45-year-old woman who came to mike one day for the job because she was having a hard time being a single mom. So mike hired her. But she really cares for mike more than his own mother.

"Yes, Alice. I am fine. Nothing major. And, um… This is Gavin he is my... My..." mike stopped, he doesn't know how to introduce him, and at what?

"I am his friend Gavin" Gavin interrupted.

Alice smiled "hello Mr. Gavin, welcome. Let me lead you to the living room"

As they were about to move mike's phone buzzed, he told Gavin to wait for me in the living room. He left with Alice and mike looked at my phone it was mild.

"Hello"

"Hey, Mike, why didn't you informed me. Why you got out of the hospital, I am here to see you and they told me you are discharged. " He sounded angry

"Hey, calm down I am home and well. Gavin gave me a ride."

"So now you got the lover and forgot about your buddy?" mike can guess mild's expression from the phone.

He laughed "yeah, thank got you realized it yourself. I was worried about how to break it you"

"You bastard!!! Now you know how to joke. Just what I am on my way to your home" mild yelled

"See you ex-buddy" mike joked and then hung up the call and went to the living room.

Gavin was sitting there with a cup of coffee in one hand and his phone in the other. He looked at the mike as he entered.

"So... Who was it?"

"My friend. He is angry and coming over." Mike laughed.

"Are you going to get beaten up? Sorry, but I can't help you" Gavin joked

"It's okay. I'll let Alice deal with him" mike smirked. He walks towards him and sits beside him. "So what about our date?"

"What about a date?"

"When are we gonna go on our first date?"

"what date I never agreed to date, " he said

"What but you said get to know each other that also include dates.." mike pouted like a child.

"Huh? What are you even saying... What date..." Gavin looked away awkwardly.

Mike glares at him 'what he is even saying?' He thought to himself. just then Gavin mumbled "we can hang out" hearing that mike understood that Gavin is being shy about the concept of going on a date

"Yeah, okay, we can hang out because I remember we already had our first date that was never finished. You left early remember" Mike frowned.

Gavin turned and glared back at Mike " First, you need to recover. then we will talk about this"

Mike was about to speak when they heard someone walking towards them. They turned to look. It was mild walking toward them frowning. He stopped as they looked at him. Now more like he is in shock.

"Hey mild are you okay?" mike asked him as he didn't move a muscle

Then Gavin stood up and walked towards mild. Mike saw the smile and tear in his eyes. 'What's going on? ' He thought to himself

Mild ran towards Gavin and hugged him hard. Mike felt fire in my veins as they hugged.

Mike was really confused at all of this 'are they ex's? What's happening here? ' He thought
