His early years were spent being tossed aside by everyone, so he needs to know on a cellular level that someone has chosen him.When the story began, with Mick catching his cheating, asshole boyfriend having public sex with another man, I was slightly taken back at how bitter and verbally mean-spirited that Mick was.
When we met as kids I’d thought he was like Peter Pan because no one was bothered if he stayed out late or didn’t do his homework. He had no rules and no ties. Now, I know he was just a Lost Boy.
"Thank you," I say hoarsely.
He blinks. "What for?"
"For waiting. For being my person even when I didn't know you were."
"Because you need to realise that even though we're together now, we're still the same people. I'm still the Archie who's your best friend, who loves you madly and will never leave you. The Archie who thinks the sun shines out of your arse and who will take care of you until the end. And you're still Mick. Serious and goofy and quirky. Clever and tender, who will look after me right back. Being together has taken our frienship and made it a billion times better, but at the heart we're still those best friends.
