Note: For veiledxposure and the fic challenge (requested word: music). This is my fic view of the whole Mikey incident. Rough translations of Spanish lyrics "...and now I'm another culprit, praying for the truth, you are my life, and if you go the darkness will blind me..." (from Alex Ubago's song 'Dame tu aire)

"Is it my fault?"

"Don't be silly, you know it isn't."

The music in the tapas bar in the center of Madrid, in this little restaurant in this tiny street behind la Plaza Mayor, is so loud that Guti hardly can hear Michael's words. Yet he can't ask him to speak louder. It's a topic they will have to continue whispering about. At least here in this public place.

"Why do you want to leave Madrid then?"

"Please, I've explained you more than once that I'm not happy here. That I miss my friends, that I miss my family, my city, my life back there. And...and I just see no place for me here, in this team."

Michael pauses, tries to smile. He offers a warm, loving smile. A smile that is not returned by the other man.

"I know the reason, Michael. Don't try and fool me." Guti looks at Michael, hurt in his eyes. "I know that I failed to make you as happy as he did. That's why you want to return. Return to him."

No one speaks. All that lies between them is the heavy chatter of the other people, the melancholic music from the speakers.

"...que ahora soy un reo más, pidiendo a gritos la verdad, mi vida eres tú, y si te vas me cegará la oscuridad..."

Both know the real reason.
