"I'm not the only one with cute buns." Mikkel giggled, flirting, and patting Fredrik's backside. He loved how they interacted, the closeness and affection.

"Torden helped my brother after.. after he was let out of prison." Mikkel swallowed hard. "Rik's father blamed Ansgar for the beatings and he went to jail and almost died." Mikkel's hand shook where he was holding on to Fredrik's with a death grip. He didn't talk much about what happened to his brother, not ever.
