You mean the Mike who disobeyed the chief of police’s orders to not look for his missing friend, who he’s totally not in love with?
You mean the Mike who told his friend, who he’s not in love with, that meeting him was the best thing he’s ever done?
Maybe you mean the Mike who chased his friend, who he’s not in love with, in the pouring rain just to apologize and treating that far more seriously than when he was broken up with the day prior?
Perhaps you meant the Mike who couldn’t hug his friend, who he’s not in love with, because his girlfriend, the girlfriend he can’t say “I love you” to, told him he might have a crush even though he was perfectly fine hugging his other friend who does have a girlfriend the day prior?
Maybe the reason we’ve gotten no cali material is because, when it comes to mike and will, neither of them fucking know the definition of personal space
mike seeing will for the first time at the airport is literally gay panic personified
1. first thing he says to will is “oh!” as in “oh haha didn’t see ya there!” and his voice fucking cracks i– aldflkdf
2. will’s hand clinging to mike’s back bc he’s going in for, you know, a hug with his best friend that he hasn’t seen in a year?? so like, ya know, a proper hug as one would usually do?? and mike touches him like he’s lava lmao “oh no don’t touch me wouldn’t want that to awaken anything in me”
3. “it’s just this painting I’ve been working on–” and mike out loud says “cool” way too quickly and in his face/the quickness of his reply what I’m actually reading is: “COOL. Cool cool cool I have never heard of that before, El certainly didn’t tell me you’ve been acting weird because you have a crush and that you made a painting for some girl hahaha I definitely don’t care about that, at all, haha COOL. cool. not jealous tho, like you got that right? cool”
