this is kinda like an old meme but hear me out.
- imagine mike is always handing will things to hold, it doesn’t matter what, he’s just always like “oh will you’re here, please hold this for a sec”. the strangest thing about all this is that it’s always will, even when everyone is together, mike will always without fail go to will.
- will for his part is confused as heck, but he never really questions mike since the last time he tried mike just looked at him funny and went away without answering so he’s just gotten used to it over time.
- until, one day, mike comes to will’s house and casually asks will to hold something for him. will, who is trying to finish one of his drawings he’s been working on for a long time and is super concentrated at the task at hand, just sticks his free hand out for mike to drop whatever it is he needs to hold.
- and so mike does. it takes a few minutes for will to comprehend that he isn’t just holding something unimportant that mike has given him on a whim but mike’s own hand.
- will pauses drawing, looks confused at their entwined hands and then up at mike not really understanding what is going on. it’s not until mike, with a soft smile on his face asks “is this okay?” that will finally feels reality dawning on him and he’s blushing up to the tips of his ears. he nods shyly, averting his eyes from mike’s face because he can’t keep the eye contact and squeezes mike’s hand just a little bit to let mike know it’s okay.
- mike obviously finds him so precious, and just wants to hug him to his chest, but nudges will to continue his drawing all the while never letting go of his hand.
