Mik was more offended than he could express at being compared to Lawrence in the way he'd reacted to Melvin's comments, anything that put him on the same level as his father was wounding and to hear it from Melvin who knew both of them well was crushing.
"I won't do it any more." he said. "Its just easier to be happy around people, they get less mad at me for being pathetic. Dad in particular hates it when I cry about things, cause he doesn't understand it."
He nodded. "I'll try to remember to call you, though I don't like being a bother."

"Its up to you but you want to hide your feelings that is fine but if it's to make me feel better than I don't want it. I don't be want to open think things are okay when you are in pain. If you need to cry or be angry then do it if you need or feel like it. I'm not your dad either. I'll try and understand."
He set his hand in Mik's shoulder before moving it to his chin to lift it. "You are not pathetic and you are not a bother. I don't want you thinking you're not worth great things. I still promised to help you go shopping." And while he wanted to kiss him, he held it down.
His heart felt too small and raw for this.

Mik was still red-eyed from crying and sniffed as his chin was raised. He still felt pathetic, even while being told the opposite but at the very least he'd managed to get his emotions back in line enough to give Melvin a hesitant smile, unsure if he was allowed to smile after being scolded for it before.
"I'm not lying." he hurriedly added. "I'm happy that you'll help me and I still want to go shopping with you. I thought you'd given up on me."
He wrung his hands a little bit.
"I don't want people to give up on me."

He still held onto his chin, staring at his lips as he rubbed his chin before reluctantly releasing.
"I'll try and be there. I'm human too so I might make mistakes. I'll try to be less ignored of an a*****e too, but if I snap it's just because I'm a bit broken up right now."
Reaching down, he picked up his bag, feeling even less motivated to go than before.
"We'll set a time in leave to go."
