Michael gently tucked Jeremy into his bed, kissing his forehead gently as he stroked his messy, brown hair to calm himself down. “How the heck did the tictac take over his body!? How the heck is that even possible?I knew it could mess with his eyes and stuff but his entire body, and it spoke through him...I’ll have to ask Rich later…” Michael was having an inner conversation with himself, occasionally glancing over at Jeremy to see if he woke up.

He didn’t.

It honestly worried Michael, the Squip said Jeremy couldn’t get out of his head without it unlocking him. Maybe Jeremy’s body was just weak from being taken over by the Squip. Jeremy looked peaceful but at the same time he looked dead. It worried Michael to no end, and he kept hoping Jeremy would wake up. Ping. Jeremy’s phone went off.

Private chat between TinybutMighty and Boyf

TinybutMighty: Has ur Squip reactivated?

Boyf: This is Michael and yeah Jeremy’s squip reactivated

TinybutMighty: Ok so it’s not just me and Jake

Boyf: Wait ur squips reactivated 2?

TinybutMighty: Yeah, luckily, thnx 2 u and jeremy, i have an endless supply of mtn dew red.

Boyf: Did it try to take over ur entire body?

TinybutMighty: No. It just started annoying me and Jake luckily helped get it outta me

Boyf: Well it took over Jeremy’s body here. I gave him mtn dew red and he’s been out for a long time now, almost an hour

TinybutMighty: He should wake up soon if I remember correctly. Squips don’t tend to take over the body but when they do it can really damage the person’s physical state, making it almost impossible to move for a while, as if they broke their legs

Boyf: oh ok, thnx

TinybutMighty: no prob. I gotta go now, Jake’s wakin up(his squip acted up too, a bit after mine went off)

Boyf: oh ok. Bye

TinybutMighty: bye

Michael smiled, at least he knew Jeremy would wake up. He looked back over to him, the shorter male suddenly seemed more peaceful now that he knew he’d wake up. The way he smiled while sleeping combined with how his eyelashes gently combed his cheeks made him look like an angel in Michael’s eyes. Jeremy was an angel in Michael’s eyes, and the Squip was trying to pluck his wings off feather by feather.

Michael would never let that happen. He wouldn't let this thing hurt his angel again, not after last time.

About 20 minutes later, Jeremy's eyes gently opened, and were paler than before.

“M-Micha...what happened?” He asked quietly and Michael smiled when he seen he was mostly okay.

“The Squip somehow took control of your body. Luckily I got Mountain Dew Red into you before anything could happen...but I dunno if you can move, Rich texted earlier and said it might take a while until you can fully move again.” Michael said, planting a gentle kiss on Jeremy's forehead, making the shorter male blush.

“Okay...I'm still super confused as to h-how it took over my body but I'll worry about that later.” Jeremy said, trying to sit up but feeling an immense amount of pain take over his body before he crashed back onto the bed.

“You okay?”

“N-No. My body feels like I-I just got crushed or s-something and can’t sit up.” Jeremy said and Michael grabbed his hand and looked him in the eyes.

“Don’t worry. We’ll figure out how to get you back to normal Jer, I promise.” Michael said and Jeremy smiled weakly. At least he was awake, that’s all that mattered to Michael, was that he was awake, and alive.

Michael stayed the night, never leaving Jeremy’s side. He had sat up a pillow so the boy could sit up and eat whenever he got hungry...Michael had to feed him. It was cute, Jeremy was like a little child when Michael had to bring the food up to him.

“C’mon Jeremy eat the pizza.” Michael said, holding the pizza up to Jeremy’s face, and the shorter boy shook his head. “Jeremy, please, you gotta eat just...eat the pizza.”

“You gotta be cute when you feed me.” Jeremy complained and Michael rolled his eyes.

“Fine.” Michael replied, giving Jeremy his parent face and making that dumb smile that made Jeremy melt. “C’mon sweetie, heere comes the pizza plane.” Michael said, and he made plane noises with his mouth and Jeremy, first off, cringed at the pun, and second, he opened his mouth for Michael to put the pizza in. They did that the entire night when it came to food, and they just teased each other about it the entire time.

When Jeremy finally wanted to go to bed, he practically begged Michael to sleep with him. Michael obliged because this was his boyfriend so he got into the bed gently.

The night was peaceful until Jeremy started stirring, and it woke Michael(A/N: I have a small HC in which Michael is a light sleeper and it often causes him lack of sleep, thus he has to take sleeping medicine, but when he stays with Jeremy he refuses to just to make sure the poor boy if alright)up easily.

“Jer...Jer you okay?” Michael asked, gently shaking Jeremy, trying to wake him up.

“D-Don’t hurt him please...I-I love him….” Jeremy muttered, starting to shake in the bed a bit, flailing his legs. He must have been ignoring the pain because he got really spastic during the mumbling.

“Jeremy? Jeremy c’mon wake up.” Michael said and he shook Jeremy again. The smaller boy’s eyes gently blinked open and they were bright blue. “J-Jeremy?”

“Don’t hurt him please...I’ll l-let you do whatever you w-want to me b-but don’t hurt M-Michael...I’ll do what you want…” Jeremy said and Michael realized what exactly he was dreaming about.

“Jeremy it’s okay, it’s okay I’m right here, this is Michael talking to you. I’m not the Squip, snap out of it, I’m fine.” Michael said, shaking Jeremy but he didn’t even realize it. He looked scared, like he could burst out into tears at any minute.

“S-Stop hurting him...P-Please…” Jeremy was muttering quietly, but he was still staring at Michael, their eyes locked.

“Jeremy it’s me...I’m right here, I’m Michael and I’m not hurt okay? Look at me.” Michael said, bringing the younger male in for a hug and gently kissing his forehead. “It’s okay…” Jeremy blinked and his eyes were ocean blue like normal once more.

“M-Michael...Are you hurt, did he hurt you!?” Jeremy asked, looking for any injuries on Michael's arms.

“No Jer I'm fine. The Squip didn't hurt me.”

“H-How did you know it was the Squip?” Jeremy asked, now nuzzling himself into Michael's warm chest, the body heat making him feel better already.

“Who else would it be Jeremy?”

“T-True…” Jeremy mumbled and Michael gently began to stroke his hand through Jeremy's hair, calming him down since he was shaking like crazy.

“Go back to sleep Jeremy... I'll be right here when you wake up.”

“I-I can't go back to s-sleep if it means s-seeing you in p-pain…” Jeremy said and Michael noticed Jeremy's eyes were shiny from tears it seemed.

“Hey just remember I'm not actually hurt. I'm right here and I'm okay. Your Squip won't hurt me and if it hurts you it will pay.” Michael said, kissing Jeremy once again. “Now get some rest, you look like a zombie...but pretty.”

“Oh my gosh M-Michael.”

“Hey. I love you.” Michael said gently, moving Jeremy's hair out of his damp eyes and giving him a warm smile.

“I l-l-love you t-too.” Jeremy said, being shocked as he said the word “love”.

The Squip was desperate to get him away for Michael...but Jeremy wouldn't allow that. He loved Michael too much to give him up now.
