Aww... I've wondered about scenarios where Linc and Derek met when they were much younger and I really like this idea that Derek could have helped Linc after his mom died. And that it was in such a very Lincoln way -rebelling, being somewhat self destructive, and yet a much needed distraction to his burdens. And that Michael would know his brother well enough to see what was between them is a lovely aspect of both their characters. A very nice story!

When I read the prompt I always wanted to write it from young Michael's pov. "Lincoln has a boyfriend" where he tries to convince Lincoln and him and Derek are boyfriends or they might just as well be and Lincoln is defensive just as Michael notices more and more signs. Even to the point where Michael wonders if Lincoln might be gay/bi and the reason why he always gets in trouble is because he can't admit it to himself.

But it would have taken way too long and knowing my tendencies I wouldn't have been able to resist turning it into m/l in the end. My mind is already composing a sequel to this that is m/l making out. Which at the moment is not wanted.

Oh, but I *love* the idea of a young Michael seeing Linc and Derek as boyfriends! What a brilliant idea. I really liked your having him reference that as an adult, but you saying that really makes me want to see it through his child's eyes, as well. And I think Linc would be very defensive, not just to fit in with social norms, but perhaps because he knows how astute Michael is and it would cause him to confront his feelings. And the acting out in response to denying those feelings would be *so* very Linc-like. That is an absolutely lovely premise.

So how do I bribe you to go about exploring that? Chocolate? Money? Nekkid Wentworths? :D Along with that m/l sequel of course...

You shouldn't have said that because I, like Chan, will resort to bribery to get this written.
