Mick keeps his fingers curled around his as he stammers out an answer, giving them both something to focus on. He can't help it, he'd fallen stupidly and irrevocably head over heels as he watched Snart come out of his shell. Every time he'd smiled a little easier, every time he laughed, every time he'd relaxed and shown a bit more of himself, Mick fell a little harder and a little faster.
"You're my best friend too, Lenny."
"I can't make you feel things that ain't there. But I don't want to lose you either. So maybe things don't have to change while we.. while we figure this out?"
He smiles a little at that, but it fades a moment or two later at the rest of Mick's words. He nods a bit, "Yeah...okay." There's a beat and he shakes his head, "Why would you lose me, anyway?" He's not the one in the process of a slow death, here.
