    Summary

    Mike had been jealous before. In small ways. In quiet, shameful flashes that he buried under rational explanations. Teenage years spent bristling whenever he'd hear of another girl who called Will cute. College years marked by unnamed resentment towards Carlton, the dickhead who tried to steal Mike's homoerotic valor.

    But that night finally cracked something open.

    On the drive home from the exhibition, an idea formed in his head without permission.

    It felt ugly. Clever. Necessary.

    He remembered how easily he had replaced cigarettes with substitutes. How quickly a body could crave a sensation if it was given consistently enough.

    The next week, he bought nicotine gum.

    ───

    or, Mike will do anything to keep Will addicted to him.
