Oscar quickly pressed his boyfriend's icon, clicking call and placing the phone to his ear. The ringing rattled his brain like marbles in a box, and he almost winced at the last tone. "Hello?"

"Hey, Mickey", he greeted, frowning at the tired tone in the other's voice. "What's going on?"

"I'm just exhausted", Mickey sighed, and there was no chuckle behind it like usual. He simply was too tired to even bother feigning happiness, not that Oscar wanted him to. "I, I just feel like I'm under so much pressure."

"So much is happening", Mickey started, placing a hand into the depths of his curly hair. His mom would do that when he was little, hoping to calm him down whenever he was upset and sad, when they were still getting a handle on his OCD.
