Michael persues some kind of relationship but accuses Ash of only helping him becasue Ash was attracted to him? Someone needs to step back and look at the situation from another perspective. He was the on that showed up at Ash's apartment unannounced.
Ash did the right thing by being honest about being gay and checking Michael out. If you are going to be friends, lovers or whatever, honesty is the keyword. I think a little angst was needed between the two to spice things up a little.
Kudos to Ash for sending MIchael home. Let him stew for a little while. Great chapter, and sorry I am already out of "likes", but I will come back and catch you when I get more
