    Summary

    "Are you hurt?"
    "No…"
    "Then why do you have bruises all over your face…"

    Let the record state that Pigys wasn’t stupid. He was many things, short-tempered, impatient, and stubborn as hell, Tang’s words not his. But among all his bad qualities he wasn’t stupid. he saw the signs, how clothes looked too big on him, how he would get winded easily, how he would flinch every time a customer raised their voice at him or how a dropped dish would cause the kid to freeze in place. The bar was set so low and yet MK’s parents still found a way to dig to the center of the earth and made sure to not meet even that.

    ---------------

    AKA the story of how MK starts working for Pigsy and how the Pigman Speed Runs adoption of the troubled teen.

    Summary

    “What I’m wondering is...How can you know? How can you know you’re into guys if you’ve never been with one?”

    His dad’s face wasn’t mean spirited, he wasn’t trying to mock Jake’s words and yet Jake was completely thrown off guard. Panic tightened his throat as he struggled to find a way to articulate an answer. A voice that sounded very similar to Angelina Jolie hissed, What if he’s right? What if you’re just making things up again for attention? The words echoed the same ones he had overheard the doctor say to his parents after they conducted a mental exam and everything had turned out to be fine.
    No, no. The Squip had been real and he wasn’t lying about his sexuality. So how could he convince his dad, who was expectantly waiting for an answer Jake didn’t have?

    Jake’s usual smooth words and manner were infuriatingly absent. “It’s not a-a test trial. I do know I’m in-into guys because-because-”
    “Because what, Jake?”
    “Because I’m in a relationship with one!” He blurted out, much to the surprise of both himself and his dad.

    ...

    “His name is uh-” Jake’s gaze darted around frantically, landing on a sole figure standing off to the side “-Michael! His name is Michael Mell.”

    Summary

    Jon's reflection is just as he remembers. A memory of getting ready this morning, another of spotting his reflection in a car window on the walk home. The details are recent, but they feel distant. Unblemished skin. Long, mostly-black hair. Tired eyes. What else would he look like?

    He leans in, looking at himself in the mirror. Unblemished? No, he can see them. The ghosts of little circular scars. Worms, he thinks, though he doesn’t know where the memory comes from, From Prentiss. Prentiss? As in Jane Prentiss? When did he encounter Prentiss? Is he being haunted by the ghost of himself, eaten to death by worms? 

    But no, that’s not right.
