Words cannot express how much I love you for this chapter. Dear god, that was absolutely stunning. And those last paragraphs . . . wow. I'm feeling warm and fuzzy because this chapter was absolutely adorable, but I've also got the chills because I sense that one or both of the boy's hearts will be completely shattered before this fic ends. And David, how much do I love David in this fic? He is such an innocent, optimistic person just trying to see the best in Michael - and I get the feeling that he does! And your Michael is heartwrenching - he's so broken, yet he's slowly being healed by David's presence. Just . . God. God. This is brilliant.
