tickled-catastrophe:

Hey! Remember that time when Michael lied through his teeth to Dave to stop him getting Franklin involved with the FIB?

Remember that time Michael vouched for Franklin to help him make some money and get out of poverty and the gang lifestyle?

Remember that time he repeatedly told Franklin to go home, even though Franklin was going to be the only one helping him fight off the IAA attack while he was dangling from a rope a hundred feet up outside their building?

Remember that time when Michael went out of his way to stop Franklin from getting involved with Martin Madrazo again, so he took Trevor instead and got himself into all kinds of trouble for it?

Remember the time when Michael was literally standing in the line of fire to protect Franklin and constantly checking on him during a gunfight and threw Franklin on the train first when it arrived, even though Frank wasn’t carrying any money and all the enemies had already been killed off?

Remember how mad Michael got when Trevor called Franklin up while they were in Sandy Shores because Trevor was potentially pulling Franklin into Madrazo’s crosshairs again?

Remember that Michael loved Franklin like a son and went out of his way to do right by him? Yeah, I do too.
