Summary
“It was there this whole time.” It’s probably dangerous for Mike to start thinking out loud.
Will looks back to him, soft, corners of his eyes crinkling. He nods, and though his gaze is a live wire, Mike still can’t look away. “Yeah, exactly. But now I can see it.” Sincere, he adds, “does that make sense?”
Mike nods. Will’s not looking away from him, not anymore. He’s upside down from here, chin propped up by the heel of his hand. They both seem so far away from anything real. The door to normalcy can only hold for so long; eventually time’s pulse settles and carries on as usual, but for now Mike’s floating. The reason it stands out to him so much is because it’s been so long since anything seemed so simple. Mike’s smile threads across his face, and Will’s answering one appears, and he falls further into the lull, the languid graze of orange light filtering through the room.in the aftermath, back at wsqk radio station, mike and will work through what's changed

Summary
“Yeah. So. Please tell me if you’re starting to hate me,” Mike says. “I thought it crushed me when El …” He shakes his head. “But, I think this would be worse. So. Please don’t let it sneak up on me.”
Will’s mouth falls open, just a touch. Mike has one leg on either side of his dorky offroad bicycle in the middle of a tree-lined street, the weak January sun painting him in a halo ring of white, and he’s asking Will not to leave him.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.
