Mike didn’t know what he was getting himself into when he sent Liam that text. Didn’t have a clue that when he opened that door a crack, to let Liam choose whether or not he wanted to push it open the rest of the way, Liam would decide instead to blow the damn thing off its hinges. Mike is, apparently, a fucking idiot. How could he have expected anything else, knowing Liam Fitzgerald as well as he does? Years may have passed, but the kid’s still the same, deep down.
