[The monstrous damp horse looks back at the noise, giving Mike a gravely disapproving look. Sorry for accidentally mocking your horse noises, Marshmallow. He will definitely, 100% do it again.]
You're the one with the real gun. That weird mountain guy just gave me a paintball gun.
[Marshmallow makes a low, rattly sort of grumble, picking up his pace now that they're within sight of the house. Time to go brood in the garage.
Will laughs, more genuinely, pausing in the light of a streetlamp to reach up, hands on either side of Mike's face, giving him a long, worried look.] Paintball's still good. Are you sure you're okay?
[A cursory glance shows Mike that his sister is already on the front porch, so the kiss he plants on Will's forehead is quick and clumsy. With his sister already about to yell at him for crashing Steve's car without a license, he's not quite ready to pile the "so I'm kind of gay a little bit" conversation on top.]
Yeah. [He tries a brighter smile, wide and assuring.] Yeah, I'm fine.
[Will glances over at the porch to see Nancy with her hands on her hips, radiating a very Joyce-Byers-esque level of concern, and he winces a little, stepping carefully back into the just-friends sort of close proximity.]
Yeah, it was nice knowing you. I'll remember you fondly. [Marshmallow plods back to nudge under Will's hand, clearly ready to go back into the garage and feast on the souls of the innocent.]

[Another glance at the house, and a pause.]
At least 'til Nancy's through with me.
