Summary: In the beginning, they were the scene. An origin story.
Warnings: hate-based violence and slurs.
Why this must be read: *flail* I loved this so much! Mikey was SO very Mikey, and I hardly know a thing about Gabe, but this character was awesome. It's the story of Gabe and Mikey, from the first meeting in a crowded club. It’s from Gabe’s POV just as he’s leaving for college. It's so beautifully written, and feels like it could really have happened that way. I adored the way Mikey got under his skin, and really understood Gabe right from the beginning, and it was Gabe that had to learn himself.

"Saw you at the show earlier."

The kid's eyes narrow a little behind his glasses, then meet Gabe's gaze, clear and unflinching. "Yeah. That's how I knew about the afterparty."

Smartass. Very cute. Gabe scratches his fingers a little against the wall, making Mikey's eyes dart to the side and then back again. "You weren't dancing."

Mikey frowns, shifting his weight so his body angles away from Gabe's hand. He takes a sip from the red Solo cup in his hand, which brings it close enough that Gabe can smell rum and cola. He imagines the sweet burn on Mikey's lips and tongue, sliding down his throat and spreading slow through his body. Gabe's been experimenting with edge for two and a half weeks, and this stupid skinny kid licking rum off his lips might very well be the end of it.

"I don't always feel like dancing," Mikey says finally, blinking slowly at Gabe over his cup.
