“You were trying to help,” Will sniffs, unwilling to let Mike blame himself for the fact that he reached his limit with everyone and everything so he picked a fight then immediately started crying about it. And Mike was right, Daniel has been being shitty, Will just doesn’t want to ruin it all over a bad week and he doesn’t want his friends to hate his boyfriend but said boyfriend isn’t making that easy.
“It’s not your fault I’m over sensitive, it’s not his either, it’s like you said, there’s so many bad memories… I get…” Will searches for the words that will make Mike understand, wipes his face with his sleeve and regrets it when his cheek stings under the tears and denim. “Stuck in the viewmaster.”
If Mike were him… Maybe he’s a little less certain that Mike would get it than he was an hour ago, but he would try and that’s what counts. That’s also what hurts.
“Don’t you ever think it would be better if you did?” Fresh tears spring in his eyes. “I’m a mess and we fight and we don’t talk and I hurt you…” Sometimes Will wonders if Mikes heart breaks like his does but he’s too afraid of the answer.
