Chapter 1: From Y To Y

(Bernard's POV)

"Why...?"

I was trying hard not to cry, but the truth was here. That man, in the scenario, singing awfully, but receiving all the praise of his fangirls. The music of the concert almost disappeared for me.
He was Metro Man.
And maybe he couldn't see me, but I could see him.

I dedicated all my life to discover everything about this man. Metro Man, son of Lord and Lady Scott, and actually, a very handsome alien. Not human... but he seemed very human, at least for me.

After that accident, when we were only teens in the high school, I knew he was going to be someone important in my life. That day, he saved my life. As always, he was fighting against Megamind. I don't remember exactly what happened... I was reading some books in the library before go home, when I heard an explosion behind me... and everything went black.
"Come here, he's alive!", that was the first thing I could hear when I woke up. His voice. With his powerful arms, he easily removed the giant bookshelves which almost killed me, and picked me up with a smile.
"Are you ok?"
"Eh... yes... thank you... Metro Boy?"
"'s my name!", he smiled proudly. "And you are... Butch?"
"Ehm, no. Bernard. Bernard Jones."
"Well, nice to meet you, Bernard. And now I have to go to capture Megamind! Justice will prevail!"
"Oh, yes!"
Less than a second passed, and I was alone. Super-speed, maybe? I wasn't sure. Suddenly, I noticed that my cheeks were hot. Some girls giggled after watch my face. I was blushing, a lot... but I was too much impressed to do any reaction.

Soon I developed a sort of crush on him, but he was always surrounded by his fangirls. Obviously, my chances to be something more than a random student for him were less than zero: I was a weak boy with glasses, too shy to talk with anyone, with a insane hunger for everything related with books -and him-. And he was the most popular boy of all the whole city. Soooo meant to be together, right?
Not really. I tried to talk with him later, but I couldn't. He was always too busy saving the city, and trying to make happy his devoted fans. And some of them gave me dirty, and angry looks when I wanted to see him a little closer. "Fanboys are not welcome" was written all over their faces.

I never believed in fairy tales or happy endings. And, when all the city started to talk about Roxanne Ritchi, the top reporter (also damsel-in-distress) as his girlfriend, I almost gave up.
My secret wish was become his sidekick, and have a secret super-hero name. Something like "Metro Vision", for example. With the time, we could be closer, and... my imagination usually goes wild here. I prefer to keep that for myself. No one will know this. I really don't like the word "gay"... but I am. Because I love him.

Destiny has a strange way to fix everything. I became an expert about everything related to Metro Man and Megamind, getting the highest marks about this subject in Metro City's University. And then I got my job in Metro Man's museum. Pretty easy.
My heart was filled with pride that morning, the last one I saw him as Metro Man. He made his... how to call it? My neighbor called it "the awesome dance of justice". He high-fived a lot of people, played with babies, even he kissed one on the cheek. And then, silence. He was speaking to "all the helpless people of Metro City", as he usually called us.

"I love you, Metro Man!"
How could I let those words from my mouth?
And he answered.
"And I love you, random citizen!"

Random citizen. This amused me without reason. Maybe because he pointed his finger in my direction, but he clearly didn't know who I am.

And then, the story that everybody knows started. Metro Man died due to Megamind's death ray, and some time later, Megamind dehydrated me to use my body as one of his disguises. I guess he had fun, almost destroying my life.
That night, I just couldn't leave the museum. Metro Man... he was everywhere, haunting my dreams and my mind, breaking my heart. It just repeated his death again and again, everytime I closed my eyes. I was too depressed, even to talk with Roxanne (I felt a little sorry for her, I must admit that... it must had been hard see his corpse...). Then I saw Megamind on his pajamas... but I never believed it was REALLY him, with that pajamas and the huge blue head.
Too bad.

I spent almost a month as a ice cube. I really don't remember what happened during that time... Too many things changed. Megamind is now a hero, Minion is his sidekick and Roxanne is Megamind's girlfriend (what a weird relationship...). And here, I can see Music Man, performing his last single, "I have eyes".

But my eyes aren't lying to me.
Music Man IS Metro Man.

And no one seems to notice it. Just me.

"THANK YOU, Metro City! See you again in 4 months!"

I came here because my little niece loves his songs. I never expected to find him here... And now, he's leaving. He's going of my life, again. Four months.

"Uncle, are you crying?"

Tears in my cheeks. I can't explain how much is aching my heart right now. I need to do something.
NOW.

"I'm sorry, Jess... Here, some money... Go home. I need to do something."
"But... Uncle!"
"Please."
My voice sounds broken. She knows something is wrong with me, but when she took the money and gave me that warm smile, I could feel some relief.
"Thank you."

After these words, I'm just running behind him. There are too many fangirls doing the same, but this time I won't stop my feelings. I don't care if I'm rejected, because I'm not an ordinary random citizen anymore. I'm Bernard Jones, and I just need to do this...

To tell you, from my heart to your heart, three little words.

"I love you."
