"This is really weird you know that?" Will smiled, "I missed you." He said a little quieter.
Mike's heart fluttered. He knew missing your friend was normal, but the way Will said it felt different. "I missed you too." Mike whispered, "I love you" went unsaid as he bit the inside of his cheek.
or Mike getting his shit together, maybe.

Summary
“Woah,” Will whispers to himself incredulously, laughing a little under his breath as he shuffles through the pages of the letter again. He can’t help but admire the smooth, off-white stationery, its pleasant weight in his hands. A serious-looking “MJW” watermark adorns the top of each page, totally at odds with the entertaining missive and its author’s garbled cursive. Will laughs quietly to himself again. What sixteen-year-old boy on earth has monogrammed stationery?
Michael J. Wheeler, apparently. Where did Max find this guy?
Mike Wheeler is insecure, even by normal teenage standards. So when his friend, Max, connects him with her old friend from California, he's surprised by how easily they get along. But as the weeks wear on, their letters grow increasingly personal, and they make plans to embark on a week-long trip, Mike can't let go of one inconvenient, anxiety-inducing thought: What if he wants to be more than friends?

Summary
When Will came out, he was relieved to be accepted by the people closest to him, especially Mike, and especially after Will made it clear to Mike that he was his crush. It was just a silly, stupid crush that really wasn’t about Mike at all. The best part is, Will got over it quickly, and they were able to laugh it off and remain friends. Things have been solid since he let those feelings go. That dumb high school bullshit is in the past. Their friendship is far too important to dwell on a crush that is doomed to be unreciprocated.
Imagine Will’s surprise when he catches Mike in a Chicago gay bar making out with another man.
Turns out, Mike is gay. So, what now? What is he supposed to do with this information? More importantly, what does that mean for them?
Friends? No thanks.
Best friends.

Summary
After applying to work at Scoops Ahoy over the summer, Max had found herself holed up in Scoops Ahoy with Mike Wheeler for 7 hours a day, 4 days a week. Eventually, the two warm up to each other, even enough for Max to consider Mike her best friend. Although they are closer than ever before, Max still hasn't touched on any of Mike's darker thoughts or experiences, which led her to believe that he didn't have any.
As they experience the wrath of terrifying Soviet officers while hundreds of metres underneath Starcourt mall, Max learns that there is more to Mike Wheeler than she had previously thought.

Summary
“I’m not saying you’re gonna say anything to him,” Lucas says placatingly, and on a rational level Mike knows he’s just looking out for Will, a mission Mike’s been spearheading since he was six, but the less rational part of him is spitting and thrashing like a caged animal. “I’m just saying—”
“You don’t know what you’re saying,” Mike spits.—
lucas doesn't like how mike's been acting after will came out, and decides to quietly talk to him. it goes... differently.

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.
