   Summary

   “What? What’s your issue?”

   “Do you actually like me,” Michael says.

   Luke looks surprised he’s asked, which is unfair. “You’re my—”

   “Best friend,” Michael fills in. He knows. He knows that part. He closes his eyes and sits up. Forces a smile. “Yes. Stupid. Sorry.”

   
   Ten years of touring and hotel rooms. Michael's only allowed to love Luke like a dog.
