Mike fell asleep around midnight, but Micky was still wide awake. Mike gave up his bed and was sleeping with a spare blanket and pillow on the floor. Micky silently watched him.

He couldn't sleep.

He held many secrets, but there was only one that he truly wanted Mike to never find out about. If Mike did find out, Micky was terrified of what he would do. Mike was Christian after all, and they didn't accept what Micky was.

Tears rolled down Micky's cheeks for the second time that night as he looked down at Mike. They'd only known each other for a short time, but Micky couldn't help what he was already feeling.

Micky liked boys.

And he feared that he was already falling for his next door neighbor.
