Human Emotions 101

I don't know if this post will be allowed cause it's not exactly Mileven centered. Just had to talk about it since it's something I've seen people misunderstand a lot.

Why did Will flirt with Mike even though he knows Mike is in a relationship with El?

Speaking from experience, it was most likely a lapse in judgement. A state where you're so elated that rationality just goes out the door. Believe me, it happens to the best of us especially if you've liked someone for so long but they never see you. (looking at you 18yr old Cam you absolute embarrassing dumbass)

Will suddenly saw Vickie and Robin happy. A same sex couple that gave him hope. Hope that he could have something like that. That he could also be loved like that and it emboldened him. Gave him courage.

He's only 16 and has never had a boyfriend or any romantic moments. So of course he felt bold to try with the only boy he's ever liked. It's as simple as that. Just a selfish teenage urge that I hope people don't crucify him over. His disappointment at Mike not even having any thought that Will could even be flirting with him is crucifition enough.
