It's no secret that Leonard can be viciously jealous when the mood takes him. So for as relaxed as Mick might be, there's a cold lump lodged in his chest as his partner lounges in the doorway looking like absolutely nothing is wrong.
He can't be sorry for this. Leonard had said that it was okay. Because there were some things that he just couldn't do anymore. Things that had Mick telegraphing every touch and stuffing down the disappointment when Leonard would dance out of the way smooth as anything.
Mick wants his partner. Lenny. But it's not something he can give so easily these days.
A hitch in the way he rolls a shoulder. It didn't mean anything. It was just a night out. No strings. "Yeah." He was better. That itch crawling beneath his skin was gone and he could sleep easily and quietly beside his partner tonight. A glance over at him. "You eat tonight? Or do you just wanna crash?"
