He flinches away, but Will’s grip on his hand is strong, so he doesn’t get very far. “Mike,” Will tries again, and this time, there’s no mistaking the kindness and worry in his voice. Mike freezes, and Will steps a little closer to his space, but still a safe distance away, far enough to give Mike space to breathe. “You look upset.”

Instead of voicing all of that, though, he just nods as he looks away, at something over Will’s shoulder, and says, “We’re still doing this, right?”
