  Summary

  Something is off about Will and Mike thinks he’s the only one who cares enough to notice.

   

  Mike has always prided himself on being able to read Will’s facial expressions better then anyone, better then Joyce at times, which is how maybe he could pick up on Will’s posture and glazed over eyes. Maybe that’s why Mike started gaping for air as he locked eyes with Will.
