"Hey buddy"

Michael scrunched his nose at Calums words and continued biting his thumb nail.

"You should stop doing that you know, you'll end up with shriveled fingers like you do after a shower. Except they'll stay there forever!"

Michael turned to Calum and gave him a smile. It was a small one but it was something. He mentally cheered.

"Come on Mikeeeey, let's do something fuuuuun" Calum said.

"Naaaaah" he said, mimicking Calums tone.

Calum started poking Michaels sides and he watched as Michael began to squirm.

Then he bagan tickling and Michael fell to his bedroom floor shriecking with laughter.

"That's more like it, now come on"- he reached over and grabbed Michaels laptop- "Let's watch some full frontal episodes. I know they always make you laugh"

Michael sighed "fine" and looked over at Calum expectantly. He smiled, opening his arms and letting Michael crawl onto his lap.

Calum clicked on episode one of season one and as it started he felt Michael nudge his head into the crook of his neck. Calum smiled to himself and wrapped his arms around the other boy.

He knew Michael was going through a tough time and he knew he liked to be a very stubborn person. He just hoped, over some time Michael would go back to being his normal self.

Maybe I've been reading too much Malum but I wasn't planning for this to have any at all, whoops :P They're won't actually be any reaaaal Malum, they're just really close friends and are very affectionate.
