    Summary

    Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.

    “I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.

    “Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”

    “Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”

    Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”

    “Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.

    Mike and Will get high on Jonathan’s weed and Mike has an amazing idea.
