Michael refused to acknowledge what he just heard.
"How is it different Michael?" Katie demanded. "I used to give you baths when mum was working all the time. You've woken me up so many times in the middle of the night because you had to pee and you were afraid to go to the bathroom alone."
'This is different!!'
Michael thought
'Messing around with his sister to help him cum is NOT just like holding his hand when he was afraid to pee in the dark.'
"I was not afraid to go to bathroom alone," Michael said hotly in wounded pride.
"Yes you were," Katie said patiently. "You were afraid of the dark."
Michael sulked at the memory.
"This is just like that," she reasoned.
It was a little weird, Katie bringing up his childhood bathroom habits into the sex discussion they were having. Then he realized what was even more weird was that he was having this discussion with her at all.
'Oh God,' he thought, 'this wouldn't have happened if he had remembered that Katie lived with him now.

At the end of the concert, Mike waited with a large bunch of flowers in hand at the entrance to the backstage. He peeped in and saw a crowd of people congratulating each other on the success of the show.
He glimpsed Katie standing at the end of the room talking to an old lady. As he stepped closer to them, he could hear snatches of their conversation.
"...really enjoyed the show. You have come a long way..."
Mike smiled with pride in spite of himself.
Katie was talking. "...know how much I love..."
As Michael reached Katie, the lady laid a peck on her cheek, smiled at him and walked away.
"You were awesome out there today sis."
Michael held out the flowers for her, and she glowed.
"Oh Michael, you shouldn't have," she said, taking the flowers anyway, her face betraying the pleasure she felt.
He looked at her carefully. She didn't look like she was going to cry. "So where do you wanna go for dinner?" Michael asked.
Katie's smile faltered. "Actually, Michael, there was something I wanted to ask you."
"What is it?" asked Michael, concern evident in his voice.
Katie stepped away from the dresser she was standing in front of and Michael saw what was underneath it.
Moving boxes, containing from the looks of it, everything Katie owned, boxed up, ready to go.
And as they drove back to Michael's apartment, Katie had nervously asked, "Are you sure it's all right? Wouldn't your roommate mind?"
Michael just looked at her and smiled, "I have put up with lots of girls for Jake. He can very well put up with one of mine."

Michael didn't mind having Katie live with him at all. It was the least he could do to help her.
This, of course meant he couldn't bring girls home, and there wouldn't be any wild partying in the apartment, as was usual with Jake as a roommate.
But if the payoff was Katie, he didn't mind the least bit.
Katie had recovered from the break up in due course and he had started waking up to the delicious smell of pancakes, and scrambled eggs and toast.
It had almost made up for the lack of a sex life.
'Almost,'
a voice, like poison, whispered inside him.
'Only almost.'
"Look, this has nothing to do with you," Michael said hotly, trying to drown out that voice.
"Yeah," Katie's voice in contrast to his was soft and calm, "when's the last time you saw Claire?"
'The day after you moved in,'
the voice answered immediately.
He didn't say anything aloud. He still remembered very clearly, the last time he saw Claire.

Michael was walking along the corridor looking through his folder for the notes of the next class when suddenly he felt someone grab his arm and pushed him sideways to the wall.
He banged his shoulder against the wall, looked up in annoyance and saw Claire. Managing to look incredible sexy with her shirt unbuttoned at the top, showing off a hint of a cleavage and the skirt hitched up to show off almost all of her thighs.
His annoyance vanished in an instant.
He looked at her and remembered how the thighs that looked so enticing wrapped in the skirt, actually looked so much better without it. And how the cleavage formed into the softest pair of breasts that felt so soft and pliant against his chest.
Michael gulped. "Hey Claire."
Claire pushed him up against the wall and pressed herself against him.
And before he could say anything, she kissed him.
And the kiss totally blew his mind. He felt her lips on his and for a moment almost forgot to breathe. His mouth parted against hers instantly and their tongues met.
He let his tongue communicate the desire he felt right at that moment.
As they broke surface for air, Claire whispered in his ear, "You didn't call me after last night. Are you trying to play hard to get?"
"Uh... I... the --" Michael stammered.
Claire interrupted him, "It's all right." She grinned, "I like that."
