Summary
“You always do that,” Mike whispered.
Will blinked. “Do what?”
“Pretend you’re fine right up until you’re not,” Mike continued. “Like you’re trying not to be a problem.”
Will scoffed, but it came out weak. “You’re projecting.”
“Am I?” Mike took a half-step closer. Close enough that Will could smell his soap, clean and familiar, layered with something warmer underneath. “Because from where I’m standing, it looks like we’ve both been tiptoeing around the same thing.”
Will swallowed.
Don’t, his brain warned.

Summary
Summer break, two years after graduating high school. Will and Mike almost kiss, and everything changes. They find themselves on a journey together after a mysterious clue. They have no choice but to finally confront what’s been going on between them for years.
“I keep showing up,” Mike says. His voice doesn’t break, but he feels like it should. “Even when you try to throw me away.”
Will flinches, and Mike hates himself for it immediately.
“I didn’t- ” Will says, and his eyes drop. “I didn’t throw you away.”
Mike’s mouth twitches. Not a smile. Something sadder. “You threw the letters away.”- Language:
