I totally got that too — it is a really loaded question. Like - why does he ask? Because he knows this is a road Boris can’t return from? One he won’t follow? Or one he knows he that will follow and dreads it? Or simply because he knows assuredly Boris will die? Or more because he’s in love with him, came all the way to Antwerp, and can’t lose him and does he really, really have to say it — after all they’ve been through and how many times they’ve saved each other? Wheb Boris already knows, so, so many times over? It’s all of those things. And he doesn’t want to say any of them in true Theo fashion.

And Boris’ response can be taken two ways - one where the “sword” is his drug use and self-decimation. Like: I lived self destructively, I’ll die that way too, it’s brought me here and I like it here. I make my own choices and then I am bound by them, but at least I bound myself. I’m an agent of chaos type-thing. Or, it could be taken as a reponse to Theo asking him to quit, where Theo himself is the “sword” that has been the agent of change and alteration in his life, the sun from which the Badr gets its light, shining wherever it goes. His response then becomes sort of an acknowledgement of what Theo doesn’t want to say: that Theo he loves him, and Boris loves him back, agreeing to Theo’s terms and conditions (“Live by the sword, die by the sword” aka “I’ll do whatever you want, you’re going to kill me one day”) before fading into the oblivion of heroin and Theo’s company simultaneously.

i’m dead!  POOR MIKE! Will actually agrees with the bullies that Mike has a “frog face“ .

He’s like, ‘Time to snuggle with this frog that looks JUST LIKE Mike!’ XD 

Will is so in love but also low key savage dragging Mike like this! I can only imagine Dustin and Lucas saying “nah, you don’t look like a frog”. And poor baby-Mike asking what Will thinks, and Will just accidentally roasts him, saying  “ Well… some people like frogs.”
