While lying together on Will's bed, Mike and Will rested in a heap of fatigue, washed out from a day spent in the summer heat with their friends.

It was their first summer as young adults post-graduation, and yet they still did all the same dumb kid shit as often as they could manage. Hanging onto that security blanket of childhood comfort in the form of the Party.

Surviving the apocalypse and preventing the end of the world as a collective really does build longevity for friendship, it turns out. More than ever, they all needed the comfort and fun of keeping their childhood alive to cope in the aftermath.

Will ran his hands idly through Mike's hair as they spent this pleasant quiet time, and he thought little of it as he absentmindedly played in the dark coils of mess. He loved this part of dating the most, he would often think. These tiny gestures of tenderness, so small but so profound.

Mike was melting into a puddle in Will's arms, leaning up on one of his shoulders and pooling into a relaxed pile from the comforting affection.

However, little did Will realize, this was achieving more than mere innocent affection. Unbeknownst to himself, he sat idly toying with a particularly erogenous part of Mike's nervous system, which began to yield... side effects.

The tingle in his scalp set goosebumps off across Mike's skin, making him hitch his breath at every other touch. Though Will wasn't aware of it yet, Mike sat sporting a semi in his jeans at this point.

Thankfully for Mike, between the loose fit of his pants and the baggy t-shirt spilling down to cover part of his lap, he had nothing to worry about (yet).

Will's attention had started light, only gentle strokes and brushing motions; but as the action progressed into something more akin to an outright scalp massage, the tone of it changed for Mike. At first, Will hardly noticed.

Until it happened.

Will gave a gentle scratch to Mike's head, hardly even paying attention as he watched the TV on the other side of his room. Then, with little warning, Mike made a whimpering sound that instantly burned itself into Will's mind and shot a spark of arousal through him.

Oh. Oooohhhh. Shit. Will thought.

They'd only just started getting adjusted to having a sexual aspect to their relationship at all in recent months, so needless to say– Will was a bit unprepared for this. He swallowed hard, turning his eyes to Mike only to realize Mike was now staring at him with an embarrassed expression as if to say " Don't say anything ".

"Problem, Mike?" Will decided to take the route of teasing. It was always easier to play at confidence if he had a layer of humor on top of it.

"...You know what you're doing." Mike retorted, huffing quietly.

"Actually, I had no idea. I was just being sweet. You're the one being horny about it." Will laughed. "Guess I learned something new about you."

Mike scoffed, only to glance away sheepishly. "Who doesn't have a thing for having their hair played with? I thought that was universal."

Will snickered lightly, egging him on. "It is pretty common, so fair enough. Maybe I had an inkling...of a notion, of a probability– that you may get a little turned on in the process, but a wizard has to keep some secrets."
