”but… but then i realized he’s just my tammy.”

…. who the fuck is tammy? will had gathered everyone (like LITERALLY everyone) around to tell them something big— that he didn’t like girls. mike had been as supportive as he could be in the moment, as well as everyone else, and everything was dandy. vecna couldn’t use this against will anymore.

but… one thing he had said during his monologue stuck with mike and left a bad taste in his mouth. he had feelings, for some guy, who was supposedly named tammy? or was tammy a character from some movie he hadn’t seen? mike didn’t know, but he had to hear about this… ‘tammy’, and what they meant to will.

so while mike and will were climbing up the tower, and took a break on the platform while it was just the two of them, mike spoke up. will took a swig of mike’s water bottle, and when he passed it back mike broke the silence amidst panting,

“so… back at the squawk, uh… wow. i mean, wow, as in… brave. really brave! but uhm… who’s— who’s this tammy?”
