Michael doing plushie commissions when he hears his uncle come in through the door. 'Not this fat ass again...' he thinks with a small sigh of frustration. "Just leave my arms free, I'm working." He cant turn down his uncle, especially not when he comes home from his 2nd job having been bullied and teased about his weight. Michael loved whispering sweet nothings into Henry's ears, even if the man in his lap made it hard to breathe.
"Thank you, Michael..." henry sighed as he nuzzled his face in Michael's neck. "I might skip dinner tonight..."
"Absolutely not. Your weight is fine." Michael struggled to breathe as he worked
Henry didn't notice that his nephew/ lover was struggling, but he did notice how thin Michael was. "I'm not supposed to tell you, but William is leaving for 2 years... something about his brothers... so... could you eat better... for me?"
Michael was about to decline, but Henry made such beautiful puppy dog eyes and... he sighed and smiled. "Of course pookie. Just be prepared for father to hurt me again..." Michael warned
"I won't let him. I'm tired of hurting you, I'm tired of him hurting you…" Henry huffed. "You deserve so, so much better… besides, you can move out in a few months! You're able to leave and never look back. I'll help you, Mike."
"You'd do that for me? You'd risk your relationship with Father? Don't be silly…" Michael tried to dismiss Henry's concerns, but Henry was having none of it as he got up, being extremely careful as to not break Michael.
"I'm making us a snack. I will do the apartment and roommate searches for you. I'm going to get you out of here." Henry smiled as he went to the kitchen. He smiled happily as he made some grilled cheese sandwiches for them both to share. It didn't take long for Henry to make and serve the sandwiches.
Meanwhile, William was at the airport, waiting for his plane to be called. He was worried sick about his older brother, who was just diagnosed with cancer and was going into treatment. William felt off, like Michael was getting treated probably, but he wasn't going to go check. His brother/ boyfriend was more important than that waste of sperm. William dreaded seeing his father again. That's the man who made him into the monster he is. William hopes Michael can stop the generational abuse and trauma.
