I deeply apologise for my absence. It is currently 12:50 AM and idk what time ill finish this chapter at.

CW: coughing blood.

Will stood in the front hallway of his home as he looked into the full body mirror, focusing on the beanie he was putting on his head in an attempt to cover up his baldness without actually making himself look like he was bald. He turned to Mike who was holding all of Will's bags and asked, "Do I look bald?"

Mike looked at Will and laughed lightly, a hint of awkwardness in his answer when he replied, "Uhm no, not at all." he replied, smiling widely in an attempt to cover up his hesitant reply.

Will laughed loudly and rolled his eyes at Mike before grabbing his backpack off the floor, one of the bags Mike was not holding, "You are the worlds worst lier." he whispered, his lips inches away from Mike's before he pecked him quickly before turning towards the front door.

Mike grabbed onto the backpack Will was holding, pulling Will to an abrupt stop and turning him to face Mike again, "I'll carry the bag Will." he insisted as he tried to shake it from Will's grasp.

Will looked into Mike's eyes with a deep, intense stare. Almost as if he was trying to hypnotise Mike into letting him carry the backpack himself, but when Mike wouldn't let go, he responded with, "I am fully capable with carrying my own bags that you very much." he sighed, finally getting Mike to release his grip before adding, "And besides, you're already having trouble carrying the other bags." he smiled as he pushed Mike's chest gently, almost making him fall over in the process.

Mike stumbled back a few steps before steadying himself, "Fine." he grumbled as he followed Will out the front door and towards his car, opening the trunk and placing all of Will's belongings into it before shutting it.

He turned to his side to find Will leaning against the car, his hip popped out and his hand behind his head with one of his eyebrows raised. Mike raised his eyebrow in response and asked, "What on earth are you doing?" He laughed lightly, his cheeks tinting red as he bit his lip.

Will stood up straight and walked to the passenger side of the car before looking over at Mike, "I just wanted to see if I still had what it takes to get you all hot and bothered." He smirked as he got into the car and fastened his seat belt, watching as Mike got into the car and looked at him.

"Uhm- well-... Of course you do!" Mike replied shyly as he fastened his seat belt and started the car.

Will laughed and nudged their shoulders together, "Awh Mikey, don't get all shy on me, people will think you're the bottom in this relationship." Will teased as he tried to make himself comfortable in the passenger seat.

"You okay?" Mike asked as he noticed Will shifting in his seat uncomfortably.

Will nodded and smiled weakly, "Yeah, I'm totally fine." he whispered as he looked out the window at his home, a place he wouldn't be back to for a long time.

"Well Will, all your vital signs seem to be good and it doesn't look like we need to keep you on your feeding tube anymore." The doctor smiled as she clapped her hands in excitement, "Do you need to ask me anything before I go?"

Will shook his head and smiled at her, "No- oh wait actually, do I have to stay in my room all day? or am I able to go and socialise with others and get my own lunch at the cafeteria?" he asked, squeezing Mike's hand anxiously as he awaited the answer.
