Mike’s got the same look in his eyes where he tried to kiss her on the bed when they were kids, while Lucy’s eyes return to December emptiness She seems hurt by how much she loved him and how he went about it way back… and that hurt looks to be returning for the first time since she returned to Roseville

SCD

Mike: I want your eyes, Lucy! (pulls out a icepick) Lucy: (gulp)

Candace

Buddy *NO*

KH_Amilux

I know that Mike wants to rekindle their friendship but DUDE... don't go rebounding on her 'cuz you're taking things too fast.

Ema nekaf

The last panel is kind of unsettling. I love it.

SCD

Zeus: WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE!!!! (The Mike X Lucy ship resurrected)

esinololly

It took a while to iron out the wrinkles from the cringe I made reading this page

Brittany

This seems very weird like hes about to make a move on her….dude dont so it

Fiver

Ok time for everyone time to stop and go home! Mike, your family is probably worried about you! Lucy, he's clearly not in a good mental state and it is time to ignore and leave before you get hurt further!

Kauphy

feel like there's going to be more unwanted physical contact. he hasn't respected her boundaries once.

Cartoonfanatic

Dammit Mike. Now you're being unfair and cruel to the poor girl. Emotional state or not I desperately want Lucy to sock him in the chin. (I know she's trying to grow and not hurt people but gdi the kid needs a smack to get his head on straight) That being said I hope she does recognize this is a rebound and rejects him. He was sobbing literally like two minutes ago. It's unhealthy for her but also...wow Mike you got over that fast you need some therapy

Elizabeth Carroll

I take back what I said fuck you mike. You were doing the right thing and then you decided to fuck with her head. Fuuuuuck yooooou.

Mearcyn

Is it just me? Am I the only one who wants to throttle him and toss him down the hill? ✋ On one hand I realllllly want her to punch the heck out of him, but on the other hand she has worked very hard to stop being violent but like... enough is enough. Mike has somehow lost even more of my respect.

JHC

This whole exchange better be followed up with Lucy quoting The Godfather: "You didn't need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: 'Lucy, give me a chance.' But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather."

Snow

if he's going in for a kiss or something funny like that he fully deserves an imminent suplex

BadChemistry

This is an entire barrel of yikes.

nalem

Lucy, run! Dear LORD

Strikhedonia

It’s not about the sincerity Mike. It’s about the back and forth. Lucys clearly still hurt and confused by his mixed signals over the years and especially since she’s come back to Roseville. He’s got to take making amends with Lucy more slowly. He’s acting in alignment with emotional selfishness and self-centeredness.

KH_Amilux

I'm just gonna put this in here since I didn't see it anywhere in these comments, "BRUH"

SCD

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Run, Lucy! Run!

Tylily

I really want Lucy's yellow scarf to represent moving foward or hope. He is going to force a hug or a kiss on her. :/ Can someone please show up Maybe even Mike's sister... I don't care who just someone needs to intervene. Someone or something needs to break this moment. Something outside of these two. I don't think Lucy can even move from that statement.

Tylily

This also just confirms this: Lucy- Does what I say even matter?

Katherine

I can't be a fan of Mike since 'December. ' He needs time to heal, and he's just hurting Lucy in the meantime. (Run Lucy!)

Crim

you fucking suck mike

RakZom

I know I'm a MikeXLucy fan but dude, Mike, don't fucken kiss her right now.

Frith

PUT THAT THING RIGHT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME

Caylane

God. Shut the fuck up Mike. Also boi, that better not be you taking a step towards her in that panel LOL LUCY PLEASE HIT HIM

Joslynn Hamblen

No. This is gross. Mike is being disgusting and narcissistic. Gaslighting and abusive yet again. It is all about HIS feelings and Lucy is the one paying for it again!!! We need an adult!!!

Michelle M.

All I have to say is: Mike nooooooooo don’t be foolish 😭 Now is not the time! Hoping that maybe next page will feature Haley rushing in, finally managing to track him down, and dramatically interrupt Mike before he can do….what it looks like he’s about to do, lmao. Maybe?? Maybe??

IndigoGoes

Mike. You'd best back up. Now is the time to take 3 steps back, turn, and head for home. Don't make this bad decision, Lucy doesn't need this.

Ariel Castillo

I genuinely don't think even Mike knows what he's doing right now..... instinctually he wants her to think about him and is okay with her getting confused. He wants to be important to her. I hope he doesn't do anything more than this right now though.

Sam Carlucci

Maaaaaaan these are kids in high school. I think Mike is doing something that's been long over due. And whatever happens happens. (Also I'm completely biased as a long time MikexLucy fan)

Sartaku

OH NONONONONO

Gibibit

Too soon

Red Fox

*facepalm* Come on Mike...get your sh*t together first.

Jubbz

DAMMIT MIKE, YOU HAD ONE JOB. This isn't how you bury the hatchet! AAAAAAAAA!!!

Aria

just when i thought this interaction couldn't get any more BANANAS

Parks

Annd Mike continues his constant pattern of crying to Lucy as an emotional backup when Sandy is out of the picture. When Sandy was around he didn’t give a flip about Lucy and even said so.

Lillith With 3 Ls

God DAMN, her face... that's just heartbreaking. Like, what the fuck is she supposed to do with that? Fall into your arms? Mike, you fucking tool. Go soak your head.

Friday

Ughhhh Mike NO. This is the Worst time to do this. Lucy is going to need to talk to her therapist about this because this is rough.

Blythe

Don't. Mike don't play with her emotions, especially if it's just beause

GoGoRainbow

I am a MikexLucy fan (but I also like Sandy XD ) and rereading through Eternal Flame, I am okay with the way this is progressing. Earlier today he was feeling miserable about Sandy not texting him back, had his habitual, dysfunctional defensive reaction to his friends, but kinda snapped out of it due to Lucy's response which got him dwelling on his past feelings for Lucy and his regret at how he had treated his best friend (he pushed her away hardest because she cared the most and confronted him about talking to Sandy about his hurt feelings the most) He is aware he is slowly doing this to all his other friends as his pain becomes more obvious and they speak up more out of care for his well being. So even though his call with Paulo immediately proceeds him desperately calling Sandy, I would say all of these things are on his mind. He might even have started considering giving an ultimatum to Sandy as things have just been deteriorating for him. You can clearly see a change in him when he talks about a weight being lifted: he probably felt partially trapped because he used to be Sandy's only support when things were going bad and still felt she needed him, but Francis took over now and has for months, so he probably is releasing all the negative pressure he had been feeling building up between him and Sandy. All that time she wouldn't talk to him, I don't think he's just lonely, he also is feeling bad that he's not able to help and support her, and thinking how sad it is that she's so busy she can't even get help from him. Now he is seeing it in a completely different light. I think that's why he can let go so easy and quickly move on to focusing on his feelings for Lucy he was remembering just earlier that day. A lot of people say he hasn't done the work to acknowledge what he did to her. If you look at the page after her response in class earlier today, and all the previous times in other chapters when he's been introspective about her (like after her attempted suicide) he gets that he was wrong and that she was a true friend. I was kinda surprised when he confronted her after she got back and she asked what he REALLY meant but he was speechless, but I guess I chalk that up to his shock at her changed demeanor and guilt, not knowing what to say. So yes, he hasn't lectured Lucy on how wrong he was in great detail, just yelled I'M SORRY a lot, but mentally he HAS gone through it. Lastly, I want to second Borkzilla about how telling it was that Mike was so conflicted when Lucy finally confessed her feelings to him. This, plus all the flashbacks of him remembering all the good things she did and why he really DID like her (not hate her) ties in with this chapter being titled Eternal Flame and why I'm totally cool with how things are progressing. I think Taeshi's pacing is excellent and it helps to reread the previous 10(!) or so pages with each new page instead of waiting days in between. I agree with others that I hope its not an immediate kiss tonight, maybe a reach out and hold her hands for a bit, and then she turns and says she needs to think about this and he lets her go for the evening. But, I dunno! We haven't had a lot of insight to Lucy's internal feelings about Mike since she came back. Just the way she talks about him with Augustus and when she tells him off sometimes/gives him advice, but I feel like in those moments she just can't help herself seeing him miserable. Most people avoid the subject with her so she's kinda a blindspot.

Akulli

Their relationship, even just as friends, got so toxic at one point that she tried to kill herself. And I mean, the toxicity went both ways though some actions were way worse than others. That's why this situation shouldn't end in romance. They have a toxic past, it's too soon after his breakup -not- to be a rebound and there was too much one-sided dependency on Lucy's part. That doesn't make for a great foundation for a lasting, healthy relationship.

Rockygun1234

If they get back together I will destroy the internet

Perrin

And here we all thought things were going so well. Although I don’t think I agree with the people who think this is a confession. It feel it’s more of a, I never stoped caring about you and kept a reminder of you.

Bibicita

I really hope she slaps him after, omg, just no.
