It's working. Mike moves his hands up to cup the other's face as they touch foreheads, and he breathes out, visibly relieved. Liam trusts him. Liam knows he can do the right thing.
Part of him kind of does want to kidnap Tim. To keep him in a warehouse, to deprive him just so he can get Tim's love. Just like Liam did with him.
Did Mike love Liam?
He thinks so, but it's hard to tell sometimes. He's scared of Liam, sure. But right now he's still comfortably numb thanks to the oxy, and his smile widens. "He had a nightmare and I gave him a pipe," he explains. "And he's been with me--us--ever since." He doesn't talk about the punches, or the rough parts where Tim vets his frustration on him with a hand on his throat. Doesn't talk about how Tim hates him when he's sober. That's what he's trying to fix.
"I think I can do it," he tells Liam. Keeps the fact that he doesn't want to do it exactly like Liam, though, doesn't want to kidnap him and wants Tim to want it for the most part. "He was fucking someone that looked like you and I thought it was a perfect idea." He pauses.
