    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    Another fucking dream about Will.

    Mike presses the heels of his hands into his eyes until he sees stars.

    Three years.

    Three goddamn years since graduation, since separate colleges, since everything changed and nothing changed at all.

    And still—every night—his traitor brain keeps building Will out of memory and longing until the wanting feels more solid than reality.

    He lets his hands fall.

    Stares at the ceiling.

    Tries to breathe.

    Fails.

    Summary

    The world is ending, which means for the time being, Will is living at the Wheeler’s house with Mike and El. Which means his life is once again a third-wheeling roller rink nightmare, and he’s basically invisible to Mike.

    Until Jonathan gives him $20 to go to an art sale, and he meets Tobias, a guy just as into art as he is.

    It’s not long before him and Tobias start dating.

    And then suddenly, Mike’s paying attention to him after all.

    or

    Will gets a boyfriend. Mike doesn’t like it.

    Summary

    The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.

    When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.

    “Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”

    Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

    ---------------

    Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.
