Summary
“I don’t want to hear about how someone from the basketball team, or someone you had a secret friendship with made you happier than me, because I was supposed to be your best friend, and I—I let you down.”
“Mike?”
“Sorry,” Mike put his hands over his eyes, slowly dragging them down his face. “I’m so selfish,” he laughed. “I think I would rather hear you say my name than someone else’s, even though that means I’m the worst person ever for not noticing.”
“Mike.”
“I don’t—I don’t even know what that means, what I’m saying,” Mike rambled. “That I would rather you pine after me, which makes no sense? God, I should shut up.” Mike finished, leaving his hands over his eyes.
“Mike.”
“Yeah?”

Summary
“Here.”
Mike shot Will an appreciative smile as he accepted the thermos. He wiped his mouth on his sleeve, passing the water back to Will who took another long swig.
“I finally told El I love her.”
Will coughed, bringing the thermos away from his lips. “That’s—that’s great, Mike.”
“Yeah,” Mike nodded, “It felt right.”
Will hummed, busying himself with the backpack. “Great,” he replied softly. “I’m glad you’re happy, Mike.”
“I think she was my Tammy.”
Will’s eyes widened until he felt like they were going to pop out of his head. He slowly turned towards Mike whose eyes were fixed on the obscured horizon.“Mike,” he said slowly. “What are you talking about?”
