Summary
“Mike, I honestly am sorry. More than I could ever really find the words to explain properly. I ran away when you needed me, when we’d gone all that way and you didn’t even find your own mother, when you told me how you felt …” the tears do fall then and Mike sniffs.
“Yeah well, that’s in the past now.”
Or, Scott and Mike find their way back to each other again.Bookmarked by chesarchive

Summary
Mike blinks the sleep from his eyes, and squints into the too-bright sunlight to figure out who picked him up - and when he curls his toes and shifts his legs out of the way, he finds Scott Favor in the driver’s seat, and he knows he’s dreaming.

Summary
Scott motioned for Mike to look inside his expansive closet that contained everything from posh dress shirts and slacks to more casual denim and t-shirts for lounging in. He spotted some flannel sleep shorts folded neatly atop a small chest of drawers behind Scott’s other belongings and reached for them before sifting through the overwhelming array of hung apparel. Scott turned away and made for the bed, deciding to properly arrange his pillows and straighten the duvet while Mike browsed.
Mike finally settled on an old grey tee that looked like it hadn’t seen use for eons. Perfect. Upon closer inspection, he saw a flash of leather in the very back of Scott’s closet. Mike looked over his shoulder to Scott, who was still busily readying the bed, and then back at his discovery. It was the same jacket that Scott wore during his days as a drifter; weather-worn, well-loved and equal parts distressed from use. It had seen so much during its lifetime; laughter and tears alike, and held so many memories of a time that Scott had been desperately trying to escape until now. Mike allowed himself the chance to run his fingers along the arm of it and he suddenly felt like crying. Again. Of course.Series

Summary
They're under a tree now, with damp, fire bright leaves raining down around them. Mike's head is in Scott's lap. He feels sore in too many places to count. As always, Scott looks concerned, but not like a mother or a brother would be.
"How much?" Mike asks. I think maybe I love you.
Scott presses something that feels like folded bills into his hand. He doesn't count it.

After Bob’s funeral, Mike finds himself lost and directionless. It’s no surprise to him that he ends up robbed and passed out on a highway. After all, he’s been tasting roads his whole life.
What does surprise him, however, is that someone comes looking for him.
