Summary
Mike's acting weird.
He's flighty. Twitches away when he and Will bump elbows. When he and Will brush knees. All accidentally, Will swears on his and his mom's life (for good measure. Just in case.)
It's not like Will's the only one that notices. Everyone else probably just thinks Mike needs space after---
The Demobat. The bite mark Will knows is there, deep and scabbing underneath the bandages, a permanent brand on Mike's ribcage.
Will thinks it's kind of sexy. But he digresses.
Anyway.
Will knows something's wrong, and if anyone's going to get to the bottom of it, who else but Mike's best friend (who's also in love with him but whatever that part isn't relevant right now) for the job?
