He leaned into the tough and sighed, closing his eyes as he reached out and ran his fingers idly through Leonard's short hair, resisting the urge to do much more because this whole thing was awkward.

"It's gonna be fine. I know it. I just don't like it right now. And it's hard to make everything feel right when it isn't." Mick explained the best he could because that's all he could do. It was awkward, he hated it a lot. All he wanted was to have his friend back and instead, they were trapped in this cycle.
