He took out the formula Little Mike had given him and couldn't help feeling even more distressed.
Because all he had asked for was "Man's Fortune," yet on the back of the formula sheet, Little Mike had added the remaining two chemical synthesis formulas as well.
Dean knew this was Little Mike's way of trying to get closer to him, a tactic devoid of any emotional considerations.
But he did like being tempted!
To be fair, Little Mike only talked about interests and couldn't understand emotions. He was unclear about the value of his own things and wouldn't develop chaotic thoughts or emotions even if he knew he was at a loss. Furthermore, he was very rational in communication. He was the type of partner any normal man would like.
After all, who could resist a small, easy-to-bully, non-clingy boy with little desire, who also lets you take advantage of him?
So, deep down, Dean truly hoped that Little Mike's health issue wasn't serious.
What one fears, one stumbles into.
