Mike:
The paining Will has given me looks absolutely amazing.
"Woah! This is so amazing Will!" My face lights up as I notice every detail of the painting.
It's of younger me, and younger Will. We are sitting in my basement on the couch, smiling at each other and over the detailed drawings of us is text, it says "Crazy Together."
"Yeah I.. It was kind of commissioned by my mom, she.. she wanted it done" He says.
I can tell he's lying, El didn't commission the painting he gave me in the van that was his very own painting for me, this one is too.
"Will, I know you're lying. I just know it." I raise my voice. "Why are you lying to me? Just tell me the truth."
His face drops and the spark in his eyes go away.
"Well.. I-"
"Why did you lie? You lied about the van one and this one too, I'm not saying it's a big deal just tell me the truth, okay?"
He nods. "Okay. Fine, I made it myself. No commissions, nobody made me make it, I didn't do it for fun, I made it. For you." He looks at the ground.
"What's the reason you made it for me? I think it's very nice but it's kind of random, you know?"
"Because.. I don't know I guess I just wanted to?" He says sighing.
"Are you sure there isn't another reason? 'I don't know' isn't a really good reason, it seems like you're lying to me, Will I-"
"I made it because I LOVE YOU-" He freezes, and puts his hand over his mouth.
"Wait what? Will?" I look at him, my face twisting. I'm confused?
"Like a friend, right? Listen, Will I care about you- But as a friend.. We are both boys-"
"I fucked up." Will suddenly says.
"What?"
"I said what I said, okay? Like it or not. If you don't want to be my friend anymore, go ahead and drop me.. I.." Will says, his eyes filling with tears.
"Will... do you um, do you like me? like.." I question him.
"Have you NOT taken the hint Mike?" He yells.
"Will I'm sorry.. I- I don't think I-"
"Forget it, Mike. I'm going for a walk." He gets up and runs out the door, slamming it behind him.
"Wait no! WILL!" I shout after him.
Shit.
