Why this must be read: This fic is just so...so beautifulamazinglyrical, I can't even describe it. Tacks is amazingly talented.

Mikey’s calm and careful and too shy to be so pretty, and sometimes he comes off like a stoner but when he’s angry he goes for your guts with words he’ll probably have kept back for ages. Ones that somehow sound soft from his mouth but transfer like razors onto your own tongue (whispering them to yourself again later because, god, Mikey’s that kind of person who knows just exactly what to say that’ll really spread, you know? Chip right to the bone). Love like a tree growing up around Gerard's spinal column— someone told him when he was a kid that if he ate too many pumpkin seeds one would grow in his belly, and he told Mikey, and Mikey thought it was scary but maybe also kind of cool. Gerard made him promise to carve the smile into it when it grew. Mikey shivered in his pyjamas, wide eyed, and said no way! (but really meant um, um, ha, okay). But this tree, this twist of lovely vines up Gerard's spine. (And the line of Mikey’s, fuck, oh you don’t know — and actually you kind of have to wonder if he does, that his back is so… crouching to get a t-shirt from somewhere in the mess of his bag this morning: the curve and bumps of his vertebrae like hiccups. Little secrets. Gerard runs his thumbprint over every one.)
