"ughh how much longer?" mike groaned basically dragging his feet forward. "i thought you said there would be a close gas station.""mike, we've only been walking for like ten minutes." will informed patting mike's back "it could be worse."
"well let's see, it's super hot out, we're technically stranded, and we have no gas in our car so i'd say the situation isn't looking too great."
"well look on the bright side, when we do get to a gas station we can get some drinks and candy." will smiled.
"nooo don't talk about food you're gonna make me more hungry." mike wiped drops of sweat off his forehead "i really wish i didn't have my bangs right about now." mike sighed.
will laughed then noticed a hair band on his wrist that el had given him was still there. a thought popped into will's head making him smile "hey mike stand still."
"what are you doing?" mike turned back to look at will confused.
"just trust me okay?"
mike sighed and gave in. will grinned and went to the back of mike's head gathering his layered hair into one section. he then wrapped the pink hair tie around the small ponytail and stepped back to admire his work.
"there! now your neck won't be as hot"
mike blushed as he felt the ponytail in the back "thanks" he smiled.
"mhm" will nodded catching up to jonathan and argyle to ask how much longer mike had to suffer.
"hey" will tapped jonathan's back "are we getting close? mike is dying" will gestured to sweaty mike.
"dude did you say mike is dying? that is not good bro, not good." argyle shook his head in dissatisfaction.
"he probably deserves it" jonathan shrugged smiling a bit.
"jonathan!" will sarcastically slapped his shoulder in disappointment "i know he's caused me pain, but he's been acting different lately... like his old self."
jonathan put his palm to his forehead and sighed "yeah i've noticed i'll just never forgive him for hurting you, or anyone for that matter." jonathan crossed his arms big brother mode fully taking over. "but yeah we should be coming up civilization soon, i saw a guide sign that had a couple of rest stops and gas stations."
"great, thanks jonathan" will jogged back to mike with a hopeful look on his face.
"do you really think mike is dead?" argyle asked.
"yeah argyle, i do." jonathan stated
"mike, jonathan said we should be coming to a gas station soon." will informed.
"finally" mike groaned "i don't think i can move for much longer."
will laughed "so that's why you never volunteered for anything in gym." he teased at his sweaty friend.
"hey! not all of us can be good athletically" mike held up his hands too lazy to come up with any excuse.
"you literally got two on the push-up test." will deadpanned sarcastically.
"if you haven't noticed i'm a literal twig in the wind." mike laughed slightly embarrassed will remembered all that.
"we were both twigs and even i got a higher score than you!" will snickered unable to keep the loud laughs from escaping his mouth.
"hey!" mike stepped toward will and playfully pushed his shoulders. "no need to spread the information."
"MIKE GOT TWO ON A PUSH-UP TEST!" will shouted making jonathan and argyle turn their heads in unison staring at mike who was currently the shade of a ripe tomato.
