yeah but i think he was just trying to justify keeping us late
[Is it weird that their science teacher is in like the top ten people he misses from home?]
and idk i was kind of trying real hard to plan something but it's hard without the roller rink or the diner or the movie theater i did get you a gift though
okay okay you've worn me down you're a master manipulator and i'm begging for mercy
it's under the bed wrapped in that towel that we used to mop up tomato soup
[And inside that old soupy towel is a paper bag, containing two (2) soft leather gloves and one (1) long, red scarf, both with magical anti-corruption properties. Accompanying them is an embarrassingly sappy note that Mike is sort of glad he's not home to see Will read.]
[Will is honestly sort of glad Mike isn't home to see his reaction to said embarrassingly sappy note, because it also involves a lot of embarrassingly sappy things like grinning and hiding his face in his pillow and potentially screeching in delight.
[He's not even calling from some far-off, back room - the place is literally all one big space, with the makeshift oven in the back and a scattering of chairs up front. The yelling is just for laughs, as Mike looks up from the counter and waves. True to his word, tomato sauce is pretty much everywhere, making the scene look a bit like something from a vampire movie.
Man, remember movies?]
I added more sugar, this time. Taste it.
[He sticks out a wooden spoon, splattering more sauce onto the floor.]
[Will huffs out a laugh, nudging the door behind him with one foot and side-stepping the chairs to lean over the counter. He arches both eyebrows at Mike, then licks at the spoon cautiously.
Then he looks genuinely surprised.] Woahhhh, you were right. [He'd firmly expressed his belief that, since tomato sauce is savory, there's no sugar in it. But he's now a believer.] It tastes exactly like the stuff back in Deerington.
[Micycle Wheels, we both know Will is not the rabid one in this relationship, how dare you. Will gasps, covering his nose with a gloved hand and looking deeply offended.]
Pioneers made ice cream? Like, on the Oregon Trail? [Sure, why not.] Are you gonna do ice cream here? Or any kind of dessert?
Like beef jerky? Gross. [Will, of course, assumes every word is the gospel truth. He could look it up, but that would mean he doubts Mike's endless wisdom. And he would never.
Then he pauses, absently looking down at the sauce-splattered counter and dragging a finger through it.] Who...would you wanna hire?
