  Summary

  What exactly is Will supposed to say here? Hey, sorry this metaphorical wall is my fault. I’m kinda maybe definitely in love with you. Friends? Yeah, he’d rather jump off the tower than admit that.

  But there’s one question that keeps circling in Will’s head, louder than everything else Mike just said.
  Before he can stop himself, it slips out.

  “Why did you say it?”

  ---

  or: the world is ending, Dustin is yelling from somewhere above them, and Mike decides now is the perfect time to figure out his feelings.
