  Summary

  Mike frowns, squinting like he’s considering something. “Actually, El, could you help me with something? Hypothetically, if I were to say that a friend doesn’t like girls… how would you take that?”

  or: After the Battle of Starcourt, Mike comes to his girlfriend for relationship advice with his best friend.
