Preparations: John and Mickey and open to Leon
Mickey noticed the shake of John's head. While Mickey had a deserved reputation for being a hop-around when it came to the beds of other students, there was more to it than him just being easy and attractive. Mickey noticed people, especially the inconfident ones. And he built them up.
"You think so?" Mickey grinned, his fingers sliding down John's lapels. "What I think is that it was really important to Ambriel that you were there. It's an honor, being his best man." Mickey's fingers stopped fiddling with John's clothes. Instead, his hand gave the boy a quick squeeze of the shoulder. "It's difficult, befriending him. He sees the world very differently, and, while he isn't malicious, it's hard to deal with all that attitude. And you managed it."
He winked at John. "I hope it's not because you're harboring a little crush on him."
