[Will spends maybe a little too much time here, if he's perfectly honest, but it's one of the few places he still has in town that he really feels like he belongs. He likes being with Max even when she's not able to talk, thanks to actually needing to do the 'work' part of having a job, and it's great more or less having first dibs on some of the harder to find records. She'd even managed to get him a discount on a new pair of over-ear headphones better than those that his brother had. His mother had been a little frustrated over that, considering how much time he spent wearing them when he was at home and painting with his music cranked up loud enough that she had to actually wave for his attention.
At least here he doesn't tend to deafen himself to his surroundings, even getting a little hypervigilant if he's been particularly stressed out. So he notices almost instantly when it's Lucas that stops by, and he barely hesitates before lighting up and immediately wrapping his arms fully around his friend. Unlike Mike, there's no weirdness here. Maybe a touch of disappointment in how distant they had become.]
Me? Look at you, you're a jock now? [He can't help but tease a little bit. Lucas had been as twiggy as him, at one point. Taller. Now it's Will that's standing at least a few inches taller than all of them save for Mike, having shot up like a weed in spring.]
