Chapter Text
For as long as he could remember, he was different.
Mike was Chinese in a town where Asians were not just a minority but almost nonexistent.
He was a bisexual Buddhist in a primarily Christian and Jewish Midwestern town.
Sometimes, Mike wondered what life would have been like if he'd lived in a place where there were more people like him or more accepting of people like him.
Then he slapped himself in the face and went back to work.
