"Yeah? I mean that's not all." They start cracking up laughing.

"Gross. Um, I wanted to talk to Will. Alone." Boris looks over to Will "...William?"

"It's fine Borya. Remember out the window because I don't want my room smelling like smoke." He smiles, squeezes Boris' hand reassuringly and gets up.

He walks over to Mike and opens the door welcoming him outside the room and to the guest room. "So he calls you William?"

"Yeah."

"So do you go by William now?" Mike says sort of solemnly.

"No, only he can call me William." As he takes a drag from his cigarette.

"Ok… I thought his name was Boris, why do you call him Borya?" Mike asks, sort of confused.

"Just my nickname for him." Will says chuckling, cracking open a window to turn off his cigarette butt and throw it out.

"You two seem close. Very close, how long have you known each other?"

"Two, maybe three months, maybe more, will you just spit it out?"

"What? What do you mean?" Mike sputtered out.

"You're stalling, you hate small talk and only make it when you are stalling. Spit it out." Will says sort of agitated since his birthday and today.

"El broke up with me!"

Oh. He did not see that coming.

" We had a big fight, she says I don't love her."

"Wow I uh- I don't know what I was expecting but uh wow not this." Will says.

"Look at this just because I can't say or write it doesn't mean I don't love her, it's just sort of hard?" He says handing him the stack of letters.

Wow a stack of letters.

"From Mike! She says that doesn't mean I love you, I'm trying! I'm sorry if this is me just dumping this on you but I need a friend to talk to."

"And I'm leaving." Will says putting the stack down already. "What?!" Mike says.

"Yeah, no, it's too early for this. I'm too sober and I honestly don't want it to be rubbed in my face how much of a better relationship you have with El. I am not in the mood to cry so if you don't mind I'm going back to my Borya." The 'my' slipped though he didn't notice

"Sober?! I'm pouring my heart out to you and you don't even listen?! And he's yours now when did that happen?"

"Mike, I swear it's like you don't even hear your hypocrisy. I used to pour my heart out to you and then you just brushed me off. And yeah, he's mine and my boyfriend, you have a problem?"

And before Mike says anything he storms out of the room to his room and into Boris' arms that happened to be awaiting his arrival.

"What happen? I heard yelling I was about to go in there myself. About to beat the shit out of Micheal."

Boris says, hugging him and petting the top of his hair.

"He practically boasted about all the letters he and Jane have, they broke up and he tried to dump on me and in a fit of rage I might have called you mine and he questioned that and I might have called you my boyfriend."

Boris' eyes widened.
