More zombie pete antics. I’m imagining a goofy scenario where he has to sequester pete until he can find a way to hide the fact that he is literally a corpse. And maybe possibly tell the other two.

junior will identity crisis ... giving boys handjobs because he's accepted being gay is just something he can't change and is trying to brute force being neutral about it ... goes to church every sunday and doesn't realize the reason he's so against sleeping w someone more than once is bc the guilt he's refusing to feel about being gay just leaves him w this heavy post-orgasmic state. the boys accept there wont be more so he cant be guilty ab using the intimacy to, what, scratch thin, raw skin? he has three semesters left, he's about to graduate, he has convinced himself that he doesn't have the usual i hate myself internal homophobia (he tells people in his college he's gay! he's known to give good head arnd the queer grapevine! etc!) but he has Something for sure. he's studying communications (research) and never really had to worry about his professional life bc his dad is rich af and has a job for him after he graduates. bc even if he is catholic, even if he is competitive, he can't really win or lose against himself. so he wants to win against the fucked up all boys school catholic narrative... even if he is fucking himself up another way #lfg

macklin sophomore burning big and bright and just at the cusp of burnout. he accelerated thru high school. his parents r begging him to slow down and experience college bc it goes by So Fast (i, as robin, co-sign this) but mack is like. no im maxxing out my summer credits, taking two internships a semester, leadership positions because if he can graduate early he will. this neoliberal cv brained 19 yr old who is so anxious about his future even tho his family isn’t struggling #likethat. he is gonna graduate do reaearch abroad get a field medal or a nobel prize ... something ... also mack as bisexual but his family is liberal so he doesnt rlly gaf.

there's always been more, but when mack tries to initiate sex will kind of spirals and they avoid it, but i believe tension isn't the risk of fracturing their relationship ... i do think it's really simple at the core of it: they love each other, they Like each other. mack isnt scared he's ruined it bc he knows will, will isnt scared he's ruined it bc deep down he's still someone who is used to getting what he wants... which is really arrogant but whatever ... he just has to figure out how to deal with the idea of losing one thing to get this One Thing (mackie romance)...

mack and will meet. will's starting to entertain ideas of coming out to his family for real, especially since he Is graduating soon and won't strictly need to rely on them financially anymore. all of a sudden mack has a Friend who likes hanging out with him, who will interrupt his lock ins with mental health walks and 1v1 football / bball games...
