I like the band's reaction to Mika's """coming out"" which-wasn't-one to them. No weird reaction, no one acting differently afterwards, and Mika casually dropping Zack's name, too. It's refreshing to see a fic where this isn't a big deal, where Mika isn't struggling with this part of him, a scenario which will inevitably involve drama and angst (although I do enjoy fanfics of the like as well! c:).
I love how Andy's completely at ease while Mika is almost falling over when he tries to get up from the sofa, I can picture this so easily hahaha
"E poi io ho un trucco-
-Per editare?-" > I died hahaha (thought you'd be glad to know I'm over here appreciatin your sense of humor haha)
Ooh, and (sorry I'm literally writing this as I'm reading) Mika trying to get up and Andy looking at him with puppy's eyes, AND Mika wanting to touch his cheek + the mention of Andy's beard stubble, I am melting. Aw.
And. Just. Their whole conversation, Andy who has drank too much to actually understand what's going on (or just because he's naturally oblivious haha) this is all so cute and fun, and then THE plot twist that we were all waiting for, and everything that ensues.
This was a really beautiful take on the beginning of their relationship. Very sweet and probably something I will read again when I need something to make me feel better after a bad day.
I especially love the last part as well, the song, the atmosphere of this quiet starry night in the city, and Mika walking alone and pondering, feeling like he's flying, walking on the moon. I wish I could paint so I'd paint the scene for sure, because it feels so real and relatable in my mind. |
