    Summary

    Mike exhaled through his nose. Slow. “You’re unbelievable.”
    “Because I want to help?”

    “Because you think helping is the only way you matter.” That hit a little too close, and they both knew it.

    Will’s eyes flinched sideways, but he didn’t break. “Mike—”

    “No,” Mike said, and his voice was still low, but more clipped now. “No. You’re not coming in.”

    Will opened his mouth and Mike raised a hand. Not dramatic. Not loud. Just final.

    “I’m your supervising physician when we’re on the same rotation,” Mike said flatly. “You’re an RN in my ward. I’m a second-year resident. You want me to get technical? I will. I can write you up for showing up off-schedule in active recovery without rest clearance. I’ll tell Steve. I should tell Steve.”

    Will froze. It wasn’t the words that did it. It was the way Mike said them—flat, unflinching, in that tone he only used when he was done asking nicely. That rare tone that stripped the history out of their voices and made them, suddenly, their job titles.

    It wasn’t Mike-and-Will anymore.

    It was Dr. Wheeler and Nurse Byers.

    Summary

    It was always the same subject of conversation. Michael Wheeler had stolen redcoat cannons. Michael Wheeler had been hired by Washington right on sight. Michael Wheeler was the genius of a generation, the greatest writer of the American Revolution. Michael Wheeler was a nobody, a know-nothing, a boy in man’s boots.

    Michael Wheeler would never be satisfied.

    Will could understand that. That feeling of never being filled, never being enough. Of wanting more from life than what it could give.

    Not that he had given it much thought.

    He hadn’t.

    ~~~~~

    Or, two boys lock eyes across a hazy ballroom and begin a night of secrets, sacrifice, and the journey of finding something more than just enough—a Byler Satisfied AU.
