Summary
Mike shouldn’t have listened.
On the other side of a wall, he discovers something about Will that makes the past rearrange itself, words spoken years ago, silences he never questioned, and a truth that only seems obvious once it’s already too late.
Some things are loud even when spoken in a whisper. Some things are impossible to see, even when they’re right there.

Summary
“Will said last summer you two had a fight,” Eddie said. “And that you yelled at him for not... having a girlfriend. So- Well, I mean, you can see how that sounds from an outside perspective, right?”
Mike didn’t. Actually he didn’t even know why something he said a year ago was still even relevant, especially because it was during a dumb fight and he always said stupid things during dumb fights.
Mike just stared blankly at Eddie.
“Are you kidding?” Eddie asked in disbelief. “You don’t realise how that sounds?”
“No?” Mike said, shaking his head. “I had a girlfriend and was being a douche that Will didn’t, I don’t even remember what I said during that fight. Why is this so important?”
~~~
Mike Wheeler does not care about gay people, not in a bad way or anything, he just doesn't care.
Not until all his friends think he's homophobic at least. Then he works to try and be better to stop misunderstandings like that from happening again. Suddenly all his friends start coming out and Mike learns of a beautiful word: Bisexual.

Summary
He knows which buttons to push, and most of the time, he pushes them in the right order, but there are just some moments where he gets frazzled anyway, and his finger slips, and, and, and —
“It just… feels like all of a sudden, she’s, like, all over you. Is all.”
“‘All over me??’” That’s a direct hit! Dirk the Daring has only one life remaining. Ready your next two quarters now. “That… is so rich coming from you, Mike. I mean, you can’t be serious. You spent the entire summer before I moved away ignoring all your friends to–to make out with my sister. And now, I hang out with Robin. My friend. Like, twice, and you get all pissy and grossed out about the concept of being all over someone? Are you kidding me?”

Or, Mike is jealous of Will and Robin's budding relationship.
