Summary
“I…” Mickey hems and haws, exhales slow. “Look. When I was a kid, I wanted to learn how to play the piano.”
The words bang around in Ian’s head loud in the pause that follows Mickey’s admission.
Most of the stuff Ian learns about his husband these days scuttles through everything else he already knows and finds its way comfortably into a nook and doesn’t disturb anything. It's just a little more nuance, a slightly new perspective on everything Mickey that Ian already has close to heart.
This, though. This drops like a freighter right at the front of Ian’s mind, a giant heavy block of a thing that he doesn’t know where to put away. Something entirely new.
Mickey wanted to learn piano. Piano.
_______When Ian's offered two tickets from a coworker to see an orchestra at the Chicago Theater, his first instinct was to reject them with a "no thanks," and continue about his life. But when he tells Mickey, Mickey says just enough to make Ian think he may have missed something about his husband after all this time.
