Summary
Mike moves them so that Will's leaning his weight onto him, Will's shoulder pressed to Mike's chest, positioning Will half on top of him so he isn't fully on the ground.
"Will? Speak to me what's going on?!"
Being closer to the floor makes it clear to Will what's happening, he's the one shaking. His whole body is convulsing.
"Can you hear me??!"
He can, just barely, but Will can't answer him. His tongue feels heavy in his mouth, like it's been injected with led. It's just a slab of useless wet flesh in his mouth.

Summary
“Good night, Mike,” he hummed, softly. There was something satisfying about the way he said my name. I liked the way it sounded. All of the trepidation we both felt only minutes earlier seemed to have been forgotten– pushed back into the recesses of our minds by the covenant that we would talk to each other again. Or maybe that was just how I felt. “Good night, Will,” I offered. Maybe it was the mystery of it all– the promise of adventure and intrigue. Maybe it was my curiosity about Will. Whatever it was, it was potent. Almost addictive. And I was already starting to suffer from withdrawal.
