"I wouldn't hurt you," he blurts out. His anxiety is spiking all over the place and part of him wants to curl up and escape all of this, but he doesn't want Snart to think he's some kind of psycho like the rest of the people in here because he hears the whispers, even when people think he's not paying attention.

"I wouldn't," Mick insists.

"You.. you're my friend." His first friend. His only friend.

Leonard's eyes widen a little at the sudden declaration of his safety. "I know," He doesn't understand why that was his response, but he'll go with it, "I mean, I'm pretty sure about it, anyway. I don't think someone that ever intended on fucking me up would have saved my ass the way you did the other day." He smirks a little.

Mick touches his head. "I know I'm messed up. But you.. you're my friend."

He looks back down at his hands again. "Only one I got, really." And no matter how bad things ever got, he would never, ever hurt him.

.. not that he expects he'll see him outside of juvie but whatever.

The smirk turns into something more like a legitimate smile. "Good to know. Cause you're my friend, too." He admits, trying not to consider the fact that he'll probably never see him after he leaves here.

Mick's eyes snap to his, a startled smile breaking across his face, complete with a rare peek of dimple. "I haven't ever had a real friend before. Even in a dump like this."

"'m glad I met you, Snart."

That smile, sudden and genuine, is unlike anything he's seen before. It does something to him he doesn't understand, something he's never felt before, so he if idea it and calls it a fluke, pushes it aside and ignores it.

"I've never had friends before, either. I guess there really is a first time for everything."
