Warped Tour Reunion (Mike Fuentes Imagine)
Trigger Warning: Mentions of suicidal thoughts, bullying, and past self harm.
I hate it here in high school. There's this one dick that's in every single one of my classes. His brother is two years older so he's already graduated. Yes, we're juniors. He has bleach blonde liberty spikes, and he's really skinny. He's an ass, especially around his friends. We used to be best friends until he abandoned me last year to be with the popular kids. I was a loner that year, but then my best friends from elementary school and middle school transfered over so I have friends for the rest of high school. He would always disrupt class, poke fun at people, get in trouble, skip classes, you know. He especially like to pull pranks on his favorite target... me. It was because we used to be best friends, he knew everything that crawled under my skin. His name was Michael Fuentes. The worst prank he ever did to me still haunts my dreams. He called me out in front of half the school on my cutting and how I was a freak because I couldn't handle my problems. He pointed out that I did and everyone looked to see that it was true. From then on, people would pass by and say things like 'kill yourself' or 'fucking disgusting'. That was last year. Thank god I had friends to help me through it. After high school, I moved in with my 3 best friends in an apartment in San Diego, an hour away from where I used to live. We started becoming more and more open to things, I got into A Day to Remember, We Are the In Crowd, Paramore, etc. Two of my friends got into heavier things. I liked a few songs from them, but I just couldn't get completely into it. This one band in particular sounded really good, Pierce the Veil. The name sounded familiar, but i brushed it off. Y/F/N said they would be at Warped Tour this year, 08. She was taking me with her because she wanted to see them and I was the toughest one out of three of us. At Warped Tour, we enter and immediately head to the merch booth. She buys as much as possible, then we head to other merch booths because bands I like, such as Motion City Soundtrack would be playing here too. I bought 3 shirts and a bracelet. She drags me to the stage where Pierce the Veil would be playing so we get as close to the stage as possible. They play a great set, and their not that bad on the eyes either. The bass player is really hyper and adorable. The guitarist is so cute and just ugh. The lead singer and the drummer look really familiar, it's almost scary. "We'll be having a meet and greet, guys! Just hurry over to our tent and get in line! You've been awesome!" The lead singer announces. They guys leave stage but the drummer lingers for a bit scanning the crowd. He spots Y/F/N and smirks, then his eyes settle on me. His smirk immediately wipes off his face. He hurries off stage and before I can ask Y/F/N what their names were, she drags me with her to the tent. We get in line but I take back what body parts were still connected to me, "Damn, don't break me. I don't have spares!" I exclaim. She rolls her eyes, and then emits and ear piercing shreik along with the rest of the girls in line. I turn to see the guys walking towards the tent, taking their seats. "Hey, can you handle it by yourself? Like try not to freak out too much or do something embarassing? I'll be standing over there," I say pointing to an open space. She nods and basically shoos me away. I roll my eyes and as I look back I see her primping herself for them. Damn, fangirls are so weird. She finally gets up to them after like twenty minutes. She goes first to guitarist, then to bass, then vocals, and finally drums. Drums whispers something in her ear and she looks like she's ready to explode. She nods her head excitedly and runs over to me. "Y/N!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT TO MEET THEM! Oh and guess what?!" she's dying. "Pffff... what, they asked us to come to their tour bus?" I laugh sarcastically. "YES!" She squeals. My eyes widen, "Oh... okay." She drags me with her around for the rest of the day before we head towards the buses. The guitarist is standing by the security guard near the gate, "Mike told me to come see him on the bus? My name is Y/F/N and I brought a friend." She says. The security guard looks to the guitarist for confirmation and he nods. Once past him its a long walk to the buses. "What's your name? I'm sorry, but I never really heard of you guys before a year ago, so I don't know much about you." I explain. "Oh that's okay, that's what Warped Tour is for! Helps us get our name around. I'm Tony." He smiles extending his hand. "Y/N," I shake it, "And that's-" "Y/F/N." she says. "Fine, Y/f/RN. If you want to be called Y/F/N, that's fine." I say. She sticks her tongue out at me and Tony laughs at us. We finally reached the bus and Tony told us to wait outside the bus for a second. "Hey guys, I got a couple cuties for us!" he smiles before letting us on. Y/F/N goes first, then me. "Hi, Vic!" she squeals in excitement. He smiles and hugs her close. She looks so paralyzed in shock, it's hilarious. "That's Y/F/N and that's Y/N." Tony says pointing to us. "I'm Vic," he introduces, extending a hand. I shake it. "I'm Jaime! But you can call me anytime." he says gliding next to us. I laugh and shake his hand too. "Mike's in the bathroom, he's the drummer." Tony says. "So what brings a couple of cuties like you to this fine establishment?" Jaime asks with a chuckle, showing off greatly defined dimples. "Um, at the meet and greet, Mike-" "Looks like you guys started without me!" A voice booms from behind me. I jump and turn to see a tall, lanky drummer, shirtless and sweaty. Tony tries to hide his smile, amused at my reaction. "Sup, hermano?" Vic asks high fiving him. "How about we move this to the back?" Jaime asks, taking my hand and leading us back. There's a lounge in the back of the bus with plenty of space for us to sit in. "Do you two always come to warped?" Tony asks. "We try," Y/F/N says. "Where do you guys live?" Jaime asks. "San Diego, of course!" She answers. I remain as quiet as possible. I don't know anything about the band, so I'm hoping not to sound like a complete idiot. A body flops down next to me on the couch and an arm is put around my shoulders. "So, what makes you so quiet? Cat got your tongue?" Mike asks. I smile at a little pun in my head I remembered when he said that and shook my head, "Just tired." I say. "You can sleep in my bunk..." he whispers a little close to my ear. I can feel his body heat emitting from him. I blush and smirk a bit, but turn my attention towards the others who are staring at us. "Well apparently, you two want some alone time... We'll let you have it!" Vic says and they all scramble out, Vic taking Y/F/N's hands and leading her out of the bus. We heard their voices get fainter and fainter until we couldn't hear them anymore. A hand finds my thigh and makes its way up to my shorts, making me a bit nervous and uncomfortable. "Umm... uh, Mike? Are you okay?" "Oh I'm just fine now that you're here. I saw you from stage and I knew I wanted to see you again. It's been a long time hasn't it, Y/N?" he whispers even closer. "What do you mean? Have we met before?" I ask. "I'm so fucking sorry. I wish I never treated you like that. I just wanted to fit in with my friends, but I realize now that they were never my friends and I threw away the only friend I had. I hope you can forgive me..." he rests his head on my shoulder. "What are you- Oh my god..." It finally connects with me. Mike was my tormenter. "Yeah... I really missed you." "What, did you bring me here to torture me some more?" I stand up abruptly. "No, Y/N, I-" "Do you know what you put me through? After you announced to like half the school about my cutting, which then spread itself to the entire school, they called me names and tormented me as well?! I went home and cried myself to sleep every night thinking of ways to kill myself! Because they told me to, all because you opened your mouth about an intimate secret." I started to walk away. He grabs my wrist, ironically the harmed one, and pulls me back. He feels the scars and lets go, "I...I'm sorry. I was young and stupid. I was so focused on fitting in that I lost sight of what truely mattered... you." he whispers looking into my eyes. I see he has tears in his. He stands up and walks towards me. "I obviously didn't mean anything to you back then." I sigh, now starting to get irritated. "I...I-I... I had loved you for a long time before sophmore year. We started distancing ourselves a bit, and then over summer, you got a boyfriend. I thought you didn't love me back. I got mad, and took it out on you. I made you fucking miserable, and I'm sorry!" he says as tears now trace down his face. "Where on earth did you get the idea that I got a boyfriend?!" I exclaim a bit. "Ally and the group I hung around back then. Then I went to your house one day, I was going to ask you to be mine... and I heard things like you saying 'how on earth could I love someone like that?! He's awful! I think I'll just try to avoid him for the rest of school. Besides, I already have someone in mind...' I thought you meant me. I thought you thought I was a pig and wanted nothing to do with me." he confesses. I look up at him and he's crying his eyes out. "Mike..." I wipe his tears, "I didn't nor have I ever had a boyfriend. What you heard back then, which I'm surprised you remembered word for word, was a conversation between me and a Skype friend. We were talking about one of the popular guys who was a player back then. He had asked me to Homecoming, but I knew he was hoping to get in my pants." I say, softly now that my temper is lowering. He looks up at me, "So no boyfriend?!" he looks hopeful. I shake my head and he smiles. He lifts me in his arms and spins me around, "Yaaay!!!" he cheers. "M-Mike!!! Put me down!" I laugh. He lets me down and everything is still spinning. I stumble and fall, but he falls with me as he tries to catch me. He falls ontop of me, smiling. I giggle at his stupid smile and then he slowly looks into my eyes. We just stare at each other for a moment before he moves my hair out of my face. I wince at the light now coming into my eye. His hand cups my face and he leans down slowly. Closer and closer until our noses touch. "Mike..." "I love you." he says softly. "It's been forever, you can't say you love me." "I love the old you. I want to love the new you." His eyes automatically close and he closes the tension between us, placing his soft lips on mine. My first kiss. He moves his lips in motion and I try to move mine, nervous that I'll mess up. We soon become in sync and his hands move down to my sides. His tongue rubs against my lower lip and I slightly open my mouth. He sneaks it in slowly and his tongue plays with mine. "Mike..." I moan. He pulls away and smiles as I blush and hide my face, turning away. "What?! Don't tell me you're embarassed because of a small make out session!" "That was my first kiss, you dick!" I hit his arm. His eyes widen and he blushes, "Really? I was the first?" I nod and he starts to get giddy. "Will I be your... y'know... first?" he gushes. "If we make it that far... It's been a long time Mike, we have to get caught up with each other." I say. I can see in his eyes, he's slightly cheering. "I will make it that far, I'll wait!" He kisses me over and over. "M-Mike!" I gasp. "What?" "I know this will sound so weird but... can we still fool around? Maybe not got that far, but... like-" "I know what you mean, and you don't even have to ask. We're together now!" he says. "Are we? Give me until the end of Warped to be okay with this. I'm still a bit ticked because of high school." "You have every right to be. I'll wait for you. I can't wait for Warped to end now!" he smiles as he gets up, helping me up. "So did they really leave us alone? Not listening by the door?" I ask walking back into the front of the bus. I look back and he nods. I text Y/F/N that we didn't do anything and she texts back that they're on their way. Once they get back we sit down and Mike has to shamefully explain why he didn't get to hit it. He explains everything that he knew me and what happened and everything after that. Throughout the story, Vic slowly slips his attention away from Y/F/N and directs his attention to me. "Y/N? Little Y/N?! Oh my god I didn't even recognize you!" he hurries over and hugs me. "I missed you! After you graduated, I never heard from you! Mike never let me know what you were doing, so I didn't know if you moved or some shit! It's so good to see you!" I msile. "WAIT. YOU WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD AND DIDN'T TELL ME?!" Y/F/N exclaims at me. "Sorry! I didn't know he was in your favorite band of all fucking time! Last I remember, you were in Before Today." I look at him puzzled. "Didn't work out," he shrugs. He pecks my forehead and takes his seat with Y/F/N. "So, you went to school with the guys?" Jaime starts, "Got any photos?" he starts deviously giggling. "I have a few I think, back at the house." I smile. He fists the air and asks to come over with Tony to see them. I nod and laugh a bit. "That reminds me, come here!" Mike exclaims grabbing my wrist and dragging me to the back lounge again. Tony chuckles at me stumbling and Mike closes the door, seperating the two rooms. "What was that?!" I ask breathless. "Give me your hand!" He smiles. "What?" I ask. He pulls out a sharpie and opens the cap. I give it to him. He writes down a phone number on my palm and kisses from my hand up my arm and to my shoulder and to my neck. "M-Mike..." I gasp in a moan. He smirks against my skin and nips at it. He sucks hard at my neck, before forming a massive hickey. "It feels good doesn't it?" he says softly. I nod my head a bit frantically. "So what does this mean now?" he asks. "We're together. I've decided to put it behind me as best I can. We were best friends, Mike... you just had a misunderstanding and hung out with the wrong people. High school is a time where everyone makes mistakes." I say. He looks at me with eyes of confusion before they widen and then close as his grin grows to his ears. "Can I finally say it?" he ask. I sigh and give in to his puppy eyes. "Yes, you can say it." "I. Love. You." he kisses my lips softly. I blush and kiss back a bit more than last time. He forces back and I force him and it's a constant battle. He ends up winning with my arms pinned on the couch as he lays us down. "I'm scared, Mike..." I pant for air. "Of what?" he continues on my neck. "This love. What we had was a complicated best friendship, but it was still a friendship. What if something happens while we're together and we hate each other?" I sigh. He makes me look him dead in the eye, "Never. I could never hate you. Do you know what I did once I got out of high school? When I couldn't see you ever again?" I shake my head, "I cried. I cried because deep down past all the resentment, I knew I was wrong. And I knew because of my mistake I would never see you again. When I was teasing you back then, I was kind of happy, not because I enjoyed it, no! It was because I got to see you. I realize now that what I did was a dick move, but I've tried to make up for it. I tried contacting everyone you hung out with, everyone that knew you. They either didn't have your number or didn't give it to me, trying make sure I didn't hurt you. I was going to apologize completely, but no one let me. I cried when I couldn't find you, I cried when I finally found out you moved. They didn't tell me where, so I got scared. I cried when I went to sleep, waking up in the middle of the night having a nightmare of you finding someone, or something happening to you. I cried over you for years before Vic decided to get me off my ass." He admits. I smile a bit but then he attacks my collar in kisses, sucking at the skin again. "You make the cutest faces. Takes me back..." He says. I look up at him and his body is leaning forward to the arm of the couch. His chest is parallel to my face. He's reaching for something but I can't see. Almost on instinct, I cling my self to his chest, pulling him down. "Umpf!!" he exclaims as I pull him back down to cuddle. I cuddle his torso close and nuzzle my face between his pectorals. He chuckles and looks down at me, petting my head. After a while of petting and cuddling, a knock sounds on the door. "Mike? It's time for us to head out to the next town. Girls gotta go." Jaime says sadly. I look at Mike and peck his neck as he chuckles. "Alright. As much as I hate to let you go, I should. Besides you must be exaughsted after today." he says, kissing the top of my head. I nod and stretch. I get up then help him up. The momentum of his body coming up that fast makes me lean back a bit, bumping into Jaime. He puts his hands on my shoulders. "I missed you, Mike, and Vic. It was great to meet you and Tony, Jaime!" I smile, hugging him. His arms hug my waist and pull me into a bear hug. I lead Y/F/N out of the bus and we head to our car to head home. I'm in my room, putting Mike's number in my phone and ended up texting him. Soon the minutes turn to hours and I've passed out in my bed. I wake up the next morning and my phone is vibrating off the wall. I unlock it and see twenty new messages from Mike. 'Hey, sorry. I just woke up.' 'Why didn't you text me last night? :(' 'I'm sorry, I fell asleep.' 'I'm sorry, was yesterday a lot for you?' 'Yeah a bit.' 'It was for me too. I really miss you.' 'I know. When does Warped end?' A knock on my door distracts me from reading anymore. "Y/N?" Y/BF/N sounds from behind the door. "Come in," I say. My door opens and Mike enters. "It's ended!" He announces. I smile and hurry over to him, clinging to his chest. "You're here! How did you...?" "You actually live 3 blocks away from Vic and I!" "No way!!!" I exclaim, kissing his cheek. "This is just like old times!" he smiles. I introduce Mike to Y/BF/N and Y/BFF/N, and at first they were pissed the hell off, but then they saw how happy I am with him now and they backed off. This will be a great relationship, I hope.
