Disclaimer: I only own the plot. I wish I owned these two boys though.

A/N: At one point in time I was able to write longer Mizley fics, but now I can only dish out these smaller ones. Sorry. I hope that everyone enjoys anyways.

When Mike walks into the room, their room, he's already trying to conceal it. Trying to act normal and nonchalant. He hopes it's small enough to go unnoticed but Alex notice's everything, so he doubts it.

Mike's tugged out from his thoughts when Alex starts staring at him, or more specifically, the ink permanently tattooed on the side of his neck. Mike bites his lip a bit, "What? Is it that bad?" It's amazing how different he acts around Alex. He does a complete one-eighty and goes from being this cocky, egotistical jerk to this normal guy. Well, if normal meant getting completely weak at the knees at the thought of his best friend.

"What? No. It's just...you got a tattoo." It's almost like he's asking a question. He didn't think Mike even wanted a tattoo so the sight of it stuns him a bit.

"I got a tattoo." Mike repeats. He's not sure wether Alex's shocked expression is a good thing or not.

"It's...it's...an anchor." Alex mumbles, resisting the urge to touch it. "Why did you get one?"

Mike shrugged a bit, "I've always wanted one so I just went and got it." Alex doesn't say anything and this scares Mike a bit. "Really, Alex, is it that bad?"

"No. Not at all. Just different." Alex inspects it a little more then a smirk and a light blush touches his face. "It's perfect."

Mike's eyes widen a bit before going to cover the tattoo. He almost forgot how Alex's name was on the anchor. The font was barely readable, so small and ornate, but somehow Alex could read it.

Alex grabbed Mike's hand before he can cover the tattoo. "Don't. I love it." Without saying anything else, Alex moves in close and kisses the spot where his name is.

A/N 2: By the way, the anchor is supposed to be a symbol of how Alex brings Mike back down to earth. He keeps him grounded. Sorry if that sounds stupid and cheesy. That's why I don't really do symbolism in my stories.
