   Summary

   Michael writing about his confusing feelings regarding Cassidy (the Crying Child in this story.) While in his pov he sees Cassidy flirting with him and giving him hints, in reality, he's just doing normal little brother teasing.

   I tried to make it seem like Michael is a unreliable narrator but idk if it's clear enough sighs also idrk if this counts as shipping since it's about grooming and manipulation but I feel like people will get mad if I don't put the shipping tag so ya
