Summary
“I found something in the bathroom,” Will bows his head a little, hands on his knees. “Some kinda magazine.”
Mike stills.
It’s subtle. Would’ve gone unnoticed to anyone but Will.
Mike’s shoulder draws back just slightly, as if bracing for impact.
“What kind of magazine?” he asks, aiming for casual. He almost hits the mark.
Will watches him too closely, their thighs brushing on the blanket-strewn mattress.
“Not Playboy,” Will says, quieter now. “At least… I don’t think so.”
A small beat encompasses the two. Mike nods slowly, taking in this information a little too factually.
“Were you digging through the drawers or something?”
There it is. A little too quick, defensive maybe.
“I… I wasn’t digging,” Will says, maybe a little too quick. Then softer, “I was looking for a spare towel.”
The cicadas outside seem louder suddenly. The hum of the house presses in around them. Mike looks past Will, towards the stairs, like someone might materialize and overhear.
Will hates the instinct.
“It’s not mine,” Mike says, voice quiet, eyes narrowed.
“I didn’t say it was.”
