Summary
“Okay—gun to your head, you’ve got to kiss someone in this room. Who would it be?”
“Dude, what?”
“Seriously! I’m about to shoot, homeboy, this is your last chance!”
Will furrowed his brows. He shrugged.
“Mike,” he said confidently.
There was a beat of silence.

Summary
“Why did you punch him?” Mike asked, his voice getting stronger, putting the last pad down on the edge of the bathroom sink. He turned back towards Will, still sitting on the edge of the tub. Their eyes met again. “You’ve never fought before.”
And Will couldn't do anything but stay quiet and look away again (avoid, avoid, avoid–)
Mike sighed, clearly getting frustrated. “Come on, Will, talk to me. What's going on with you?”
He tried to catch his eyes, dipping in front of him to get into Will’s view, but he stubbornly kept his eyes away, down towards the ground. He didn’t really know why. He just– couldn’t. The cold of the bathtub seeped into his gripping hands.
“It’s nothing,” he bit out through clenched teeth.
“I don't believe that.”
“I’m fine, I can manage.”
“I don’t think breaking someone's nose is ‘managing it’, but okay.”
Or: In a quiet, vulnerable moment in the Wheelers' basement bathroom, an unknown anger courses through Will's body.
