Michael had never felt so happy as after having sex with Mike. Just a few months ago, he couldn’t stand this loser. Michael had planned in detail how he would kill him for stealing the heart of his older sister. Vanessa deserved better.
That’s why Michael took Mike for himself, so that his older sister could continue searching for her true happiness.
Needless to say, Michael was wrong about Vanessa’s boyfriend. Mike wasn’t a total loser. Yes, he was shorter than Michael, but good Lord was he strong. Mike could easily throw Michael over his shoulder. He could do push-ups with Abby sitting on his back. Meanwhile, Michael could barely breathe if he ran for more than three minutes.
On top of all that, Mike was very affectionate. He likes to show Michael how much he loves him. Hugs, kisses, gifts, dates. And you can say all you want that Michael doesn’t deserve all this, but he still likes it. He likes that kind of attention. And Mike likes to give it to him.
However, Michael couldn’t shake the feeling that he’s a real piece of shit.
“You know, I just realised what a piece of shit I really am,” Michael whispered into Mike’s chest. “The absolute worst person in the entire bloody world. If one could even consider me a person.”
“And what led you to that conclusion?”
“I stole my sister’s boyfriend.”
For some reason, when Michael said it out loud, he felt like a total fool. Especially when Mike just laughed. He could have at least tried to defend him. Said he wasn’t that bad, despite sharing the same surname with a child murderer. But no.
“Seriously? That’s the only reason you think you’re the worst person in the whole world? No other reasons?”
Michael rolled his eyes. He was about to turn away so he wouldn’t have to see that stupid grin, but Mike squeezed him in a hug. What a dick. He knew damn well that Michael couldn't break free from his grip
“If it makes you feel any better, Vanessa and I weren’t together.”
Mike said it in such a calm tone, as if it wasn’t something that had completely changed Michael’s worldview. Michael looked up at Mike in disbelief.
“What?”
“Vanessa and I weren’t together. I don’t know why you thought that.”
Seriously? Seriously?!
“But you two went on dates?”
Mike nodded but said nothing. Michael wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
“So how come you two weren’t together?”
“People can go on dates and not get together.”
“Then what’s the point of going on dates?”
“To see if you really like someone? Or just to spend time together?”
Michael looked at him as if he were an idiot. Sometimes Mike wondered how Vanessa could be his sister. She didn’t seem that weird. Don’t get me wrong, she has her own crazy moments, but compared to her brother, Vanessa seems to be a very normal person.
“So you’ve never dated?” asked Michael slowly.
“No,” replied Mike, kissing his lover on the crown of his head. “It didn’t work out for us.”
“And you never kissed?”
“Only on the cheek.”
“And you never even fucked?”
“God, no!” Mike grimaced as if he had eaten a slice of lemon. “Your sister is pretty, but… no. Just no.”
Michael fell silent. Mike could almost see the gears spinning in his head. This information had obviously changed something in Michael. Mike didn’t interrupt his thoughts. He just hugged Michael’s scrawny body a little tighter.
Michael must have come to some conclusion in his head. He sighed with relief.
“What?”
“So I’m not as much of a jerk as I thought. Thanks, Mike.”
“Uh, for what?”
“For not dating Nessa. I would have felt horrible if she loved you while you were lying in bed with me.”
Mike let out a frustrated groan while Michael was giggling stupidly.
