Let me hold, both your hands in the arms of my sweater

Work Text:

“What do you think?” Mike asks cautiously as he emerges from the bathroom and stands in front of Will who’s sitting on his bed.

The hoodie is navy with little silver stars embroidered on the hem, and it looks a few sizes too big for him.

Perfect.

Will stands up, moving closer to his boyfriend and before Mike can say anything, he slips his head under the hoodie.
At first it’s just a confusing tangle of Mikes shirt and hoodie but after a few seconds, Wills able to undo the zip slightly and fit his head out of the head hole, with his face inches away from Mikes.

“Will!” Mike exclaims. His cheeks have darkened a deep shade of red but a small smile danced across his lips as he stares into Wills eyes
“What?” Will raises an eyebrow innocently “I’m just wearing our hoodie.”
He didn’t think it was possible for Mike to look any cuter but, the tips of his boyfriends ears are also red now, something that also makes him look adorable in Wills opinion, even though he’s obviously biased
Mike laughs “I could have got another jumper if you asked me to.”
With difficulty in the limited space, Will manages to shrug “I know.”
He wraps his arms around Mikes waist and gives him a quick kiss on the lips “Sharing is caring, though.”
Mike seems to have run out of words, so instead he just nods and hugs Will back, resting his head by the crook of his neck.

They both stay like that for a while, peacefully leaning on each other and swaying slightly in time to the CD player in the background, which is playing ‘should I stay or should I go?’ a tune that they often listen to together. Mike leans down slightly to pres another gentle kiss to his forehead.
“Okay?” He asks hesitantly. Will nods, but he feels Mikes arms tighten around him protectively anyway. Sometimes he feels like Mike’s scared of losing him again, like what happened when they were kids and Will was stuck in the upside down. It’s also because that he hugs Will so often, and when they’re together seem to be touching each Will, whether it’s by them holding hands or how Mike drapes himself over Will like an extra blanket when they’re on the sofa together for movie nights. What’s Wills favourite though, is when sometimes they’re holding hands or something, and he feels Mike move his thumb slightly so that it’s against Wills wrist as a way to check for a pulse, that he probably thinks is subtle. Will actually kind of likes it though, it’s actually quite comforting or maybe that’s just the familiarity of the gesture.

Him and Mike have always been close though ever since they were both little kids, inseparable from each other, and maybe that’s what made the transition from best friends to boyfriends so simple.
Mike actually intertwines their hands together now, a soft, contented smile flitting across his face when he finds the steady beat of Wills pulse that seems to reassure him.

“Love you.” Mike murmurs, the words are easily spoken as he leans to rest his head on Wills shoulder.
Will smiles, pressing a kiss to his boyfriends forehead.
“Love you too.”
