   Summary

   “Will gasped for air too as he stared into the darkness, left with the tingling sensation of Mike’s spit coating his lips and teeth. He wondered if he would wake up at any moment- this being too curated to be real life.“

   As Mike and Will wait anxiously in the Wheeler household after the events of S5 Volume 1, feelings are shared in their close proximity to one another. Knowing they’re running out of time, still nervous, both boys are being honest and braver than they usually would be. But how far can they make it before reality starts to swallow them whole? Will they make the most of their time together, despite not knowing when it will end?
