Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

“Did you hesitate?”
“I’m concentrating.”
“On what, my tragic bangs?” There’s the hint of a smirk on Mike’s tone.

Summary
Robin nodded.
“Okay. Then let’s do this instead. Lucas, you and I go to the hospital and get Max. We move her somewhere safe. The hospital is the most vulnerable place right now.”
Her voice dropped near the end. Will understood her worry and gently pulled Robin back against his shoulder.
“So… when did you two get this close?” Mike suddenly snapped.
Everyone turned to him in surprise.
“Jesus,” Robin muttered, glancing at Will.
Will looked straight at Mike.
“We already talked about this.”
Mike shook his head.
“Yeah, we talked—but this—” he gestured at the two of them, “I didn’t know you were this close.”
Joyce looked at her son and Robin. She knew there was something she didn’t understand yet—but this wasn’t the moment to ask.
“Mike,” Lucas said firmly.
Mike turned to him.
“We need to get to the hospital. This isn’t about Will and Robin being close.”
Mike took a deep breath.
“You’re right. I’m sorry.”

Summary
Mike lets Will in on the secret of their next campaign, that Will the Wise is overcome by vampiric urges after being bitten in their last campaign. Mike jokes, saying Will could creep up behind him and bite his neck during the reading, for as he put it, dramatic effect. Will just can't seem to let the idea go. In the same way that Mike also can't seem to let the idea of writing the campaign out go.
or
Mike accidentally gives himself a D&D obsession, somewhat dragging Will with him. Will, who is totally not completely enamored with the way Mike is suddenly constantly talking to Will about it, sees no harm in playing into it. Mike wasn't so bad to be around, even if it was, genuinely, constant.
