[will very much suddenly wants to just flop against mike, let himself go boneless and maybe close his eyes for just a quick minute. it's the nudge against his arm, the sudden reminder that he's not going to be alone here, not going to have to sit by himself in a house that isn't his, not going to have to lie his way around why he's so skinny, so tired, so scared.
he wants to cry. he wants to start laughing. he picks up the pizza instead and folds it in half, because once upon a time jonathan told him that's what they do in new york and jonathan wants to go to nyu and god. god he's so tired.
mike's talking with his mouth full, sticking out his leg and barely balancing on the other and will is caught still between crying and laughing when he carefully sticks out his own leg, the sweatpants covering his bare foot.]
Yeah, totally growing. You're gonna be taller than Steve, probably, soon. [he wiggles his toes under the too-long pant leg, then nibbles at the pizza.]
