    Summary

    Mike was fourteen when the pain in his knees first started.

    It began as a sharp, almost electric burn behind his kneecaps whenever he climbed the rickety spiral staircases of the Chapel, a hot line of discomfort that flared with each step. At first, it was easy to brush off — the sort of sting that faded quickly once he sat down, gone as suddenly as it arrived.

    At first.

    But over time, without Mike being able to pinpoint when, exactly, it stopped fading. The pain was there on the stairs, but then it followed him when he ran. Then, when he walked too fast. Then, when he lay down at night, and a deep, leaden ache pooled in his joints and refused to let go. It became the kind of pain that hung around like bad weather, quiet in the background until it chose to break into a storm.

    Summary

    SECTION I: PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT

    This Agreement is entered into between Harvey Reginald Specter (hereinafter "Harvey," "Dominant Party," or "The Guy Who Makes the Rules and Looks Damn Good Doing It") and Michael James Ross (hereinafter "Mike," "Submissive Party," or "The Guy Who Somehow Talks His Way Into This Stuff").

    Both parties acknowledge that this document is, regrettably, the result of a two-hour argument, three threats to "just hire Louis to draft it," and one dangerously late lunch break. Harvey insists it is "purely for efficiency and to avoid misunderstandings," while Mike insists Harvey just likes putting things in writing so he can use them as leverage later. Harvey neither confirms nor denies.

    Summary

    “Harvey?” he mumbles.

    “Yes, Mike.” Harvey says, summoning infinite patience.  He cups the back of Mike’s head gently, brushing his thumb against his skin.

    “Crocodiles can hibernate in frozen lakes, just stick their little noses out to breathe.” Mike mumbles a minute later. “That’s cool, huh?”

    Harvey chuckles. “Alright, pack it up, Steve Irwin. Let’s go.”
