Mike reads while holding Bill on his lap, and they eventually discuss masculinity and affection. “I think knowing and asking for what you need is really mature.”
I think Bill would need to hear this from Mike out of all of them.
Yeah I think for Bill Mike doesn’t have an ulterior reason to like sugar coat it for him, so it must just be the truth.
I think to Bill, Mike is the definition of manly, with his muscles and calloused hands from long days on the farm. And he is gentle but can get rough when he knows he needs to be.
Maybe he like takes notes on how everyone else acts (even Bev) and is like...oh, everyone is just themselves they aren’t like following a special man code to be “good”
Bill shares them with Mike and they talk about it in the library and he gives him a reading assignment about it.
