  Summary

  After a night that leaves both of them bothered, Will and Mike try pretending nothing ever happened. Their friends all in the dark, assuming they're completely fine, end up pushing them together unintentionally.

  Unsaid thoughts and then-unnoticed feelings from the past arise, but at a price. It's down to whether Will and Mike are willing to pay it.
