What's the Sign for Love?

By Alex Whitehall

Mic prides himself on his independence. And now, with his trusty dog by his side, even his mother has stopped worrying so much about him living alone. But when an accident leaves him stranded at the bottom of a wooded hill with no way to call out, he must rely on his dog and the kindness of a passing stranger to get him back on two feet.

Henry can't deny the instant spark of attraction between him and Mic, but with his own job worries and Mic's muteness, he isn't sure what the future holds for them.

Squee. Squee. Squee.

Mic threw back his head in silent laughter, his chest shaking with quiet "huh, huh, huh noises. God, buying Fritz had been the best idea he'd had since moving out on his own. And maybe now his family would get off his back about how dangerous" it was to live alone. Was he a grown man or not?

Fritz barked, interrupting his potential brooding and bringing his attention to his dog, who was staring and waiting for him to make eye contact. Once he had it, Fritz began prodding at his new toy again.
