but for now he'll just frown a little, remembering very vividly how lonely mike's been for the last almost-year. he can't imagine how many times worse it must have been with just steve and that billy guy for company. still, he'll take the clothes, waiting until mike turns around before shrugging off the stained hospital gown.]
At the same time? [he'll humor mike, since his friend clearly doesn't want to talk about how bad it's been, even though will knows, and mike knows will knows. the shorts are too big and he has to roll the waistband a couple times so they don't fall right off again. the sweatshirt fits a bit better, since they're about the same build (mike's just taller), though the sleeves flop down over will's hands. he lets them, walking over and smacking lightly at mike's back to prompt him to turn back around. attack of the sweater paws.]
