    Summary

    Will smiles encouragingly at him, swiping his tears away and kissing his forehead again. "Let's make a deal, okay?" he murmurs, voice low and full of a bittersweet sort of hope. "If in five years we're both doing better, and we're not dating anyone else-" Mike blanches at the concept of dating anyone else, of Will dating anyone else- "we can try again, okay?"

    Five years sounds like a terribly long time. In five years, Mike will be twenty-three. He'll be done with college, will have a career, could be living anywhere in the world for all he knows, and the same goes for Will.

    But five years is a whole lot less than forever, so Mike will take it.

    In the summer of 1989, Mike and Will fall apart. Five years later, they fall back together.

    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.
