    Summary

    Then Mike’s voice breaks the quiet. “Have you ever been told you’re pretty?”

    What the fuck?

    Will turns his head to look at him again. His eyes are glazed, heavy, barely able to stay open. He spots a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

    “By my mom,”

    or

    Jonathan gets sick and is given Mikes room to sleep in for the night, leaving Mike and Will to share the basement.

    Summary

    "I just wanted to check in on you, I guess. I don't think I do that enough."

    Mike chuckled, a hint of bitterness staining it. "Will, that's literally all you do."

    Will smiled ruefully. "And yet it's still not enough."

    Sighing, Mike shook his head. "Look, we should just go upstairs. The lasagne's getting cold."

    "I don't care about the lasagne. I care about you."

    or

    Will is very confused by whatever Mike's doing and he's a little angry about it too.

    Summary

    Will gazed around the room, trying to find something, anything, that could help him escape.

    “Will!”

    He tensed at the sound. A concerned sound he hadn’t heard in a few hours, but still managed to make his heart race nonetheless. Mike was calling for him. What was happening outside?
