It is only a 2 parter guys
TW: swearing, there's a mention of Michael's father, umm...other than that it is fluff

Jeremy was sitting in Michael's hospital room, glancing back at him every five seconds it felt.

"Please...please wake up...please..." Jeremy whispered, holding Michael's hand softly in his own, gently lifting it and kissing it.

"Dude. I knew you two were gay." Jeremy looked apast Michael to see Jake still in a full body cast.

"No no...I'm bi."

"I mean for each other."

"Oh well...I...umm..." Jeremy explained slowly, trying not to cry.

"Oh, ith he not gay...or ith he?"

"He...well...don't tell him I said this, but his dad...had convinced him that being gay is wrong and all that. And Michael is gay, at the most, but...he lies...about it. I... I want him to realize it's not bad but...he doesn't...and...it hurts me...but I don't mind, as long as I get to see him smile."

"Okay...I'm sorry for teathing you two now...umm...tho my Thquip thhut off. Did you do that?"

"Oh, they were synced so they all shut off. Speaking of, I need to check on the other cast members, see if they woke up. You woke up so...if Michael wakes up don't mention my crush. Please."

"Thure." Jeremy stood up and with that, left the room.

20 minutes later, and Michael woke up. He tried to sit but fell down in pain.

"Hurtth doethn't it?"

"What?"

"Feelth like you're miththing a part of yourthself."

"Jake?" Michael turned his head to see Jake in the best next to him.

"Tell me. What exactly are they thaying at thchool." Michael remained silent, nothing but a sigh escaping his lips. "That bad?"

"Sorry."

"No no it'th cool. I'm finally rid of that happy hive mind the Thquip had me in. And now everybody'th gonna get to know the real Jacob Goranthki. And I mean everybody. Girlth. Guyth. Nonbinarieth. Everybody. Becauthe I am totally pan."

"Woah wait hold up. Your Squip deactivated. How?"

"Oh just athk the antithothial furry kid. He'th been checking on everybody who had a Thquip. Thomething about them all being thynced. Thpeaking of, what ith anywayth? Ith he like...your boyfriend or...what?" Michael turned red upon that question. He...He couldn't date Jeremy, that was his best friend.

He awkwardly rubbed his arm, thinking back to everything his father had ever told him about being gay...

Before he responded, he felt arms wrap arlund him and realized it was Jeremy.

"You're okay...you're okay..." Jeremy cried softly and Michael hugged back, crying as well.

"I'm sorry Jeremy...I shouldn't have been such a dick..."

"Oh don't be so hard on yourself Mahal, you had an evil computer in your head."

"Mama?" Michael looked up and his mother smiled.

"Yes. It's me. And no your father isn't here, I'd like you to know that I'm a single woman now."

"Wait you divorced Papa?"

"Mmhm." Maganda smiled and Michael felt tears of joy fill his eyes. Jeremy had stopped hugging him, which kind of disappointed him for some reason. "Now I think Jeremy has something he wants to tell you."

Jeremy sighed, sitting next to Michael and gently taking his hand.

"Michael...remember during the play...when I was trying to tell you something...but you couldn't hear me?"

"Yeah. I...I know you whispered it again soon after but it's fuzzy..." Michael thought back to Jeremy crying for him during Jenna's singing. "What did you say?"

"Michael...I... I love you..." Jeremy whispered, trying to make himself not cry. "And...I'd wanted to tell you in case the Squip did something really dangerous...and you forgot who I was or who you were...or it took away a sense of yours or something."

"Jeremy...I-"

"And...And I was about ready just to accept you'd never ever love me back...but...I don't know anymore...your dad is gone so...you can be yourself now. And I know...I know you like guys...the Jenna crush was a lie so...I...just...I just wanna know...would you maybe... consider being my boyfriend?" Jeremy asked, and Michael's face flushed red.

He would be lying if he said he didn't like Jeremy as more than a friend. He'd never liked Jenna, he was just using it as a cover up...so his dad wouldn't find out...so he gently held Jeremy's hands back in response and smiled.

"I'm not being told to say otherwise...so...y-yes. I will be your boyfriend..."

"YES!!" Maganda and Jake screamed in unison, causing the boys to burn crimson at the cheeks.

"But...before we go on a date. I have a lot of apologies I need to make at school...I just...don't know how."

"Just be clear about is Mahal, you're good at clear."

"I guess Mama but...but what if she doesn't listen." Michael mumbled, and Jeremy moved his hand up to Michael's shoulder.

"Don't worry about that. As long as she knows you're sorry, genuinely, she should accept it."

"Not to mention, you gotta athk for forgivenethth."

"Thanks...but...how could somebody else forgive me if I can't even forgive myself?" Michael asked and Jeremy moved hair out of his face and smiled.

"Because if somebody like me can forgive you...anybody should. Honestly I don't know how I'm able to forgive you for the shit you did...but...I mean...I do...and I still love you...so..."

"Okay...yeah...yeah you're right. The moment I get out of here I'm apologizing. Not just to Jenna but everybody I practically almost killed.

The next day Michael was able to return to school, and he'd gotten... strange love advice at best from Chloe, Brooke, Christine, and Rich.

They must have not known he was gay. Somehow.

He finally found Jenna and tapped her shoulder lightly.

"Oh Michael, I've been looking for you."

"Jenna...I need to apologise...I'm sorry I roped you into a mess caused by my stupid thought process that convinced me to like a girl. I convinced myself I needed to like a girl romantically...and I'm sorry that I acted like I liked you. As a friend, yes but...I can't date girls...so...could you maybe forgive me for the shit I did. Ya know, almost taking over the school?" Michael asked and Jenna nodded.

"Of course I can forgive you. You just made some mistakes. Those can be forgiven."

"Thanks...now...I gotta go. I gotta lunch date."

"With who?"

"Jeremy." Silence. "That antisocial furry kid."

"Oh Jeremy. I always try to remember his name I just can't though."

"It's alright. I've gotta go now, bye."

"Bye." Jenna waved off, watching as Michael went outside the school to find Jeremy, sho brought him in for a kiss. She giggled, they were cute.

And they were happy. Despite the voices in their heads.
