Summary
A charged silence hung between them, the only sound being that of Will sketching. Mike had a tendency to fumble through moments like this, finding comfort in little quips to shift the vibe. It's expected of him, really, he can't help himself.

"You'd look good as Luke Skywalker."
or

Summary
A year after the events of Season 5, Mike publishes his first book titled “He Loved Me”. Will goes to a small bookshop in New York to watch his friend’s band play a show, and stumbles across the book in a discount bin. The discounted copy has a severely damaged cover. He doesn’t see who wrote it until he finishes the book.
Inside the book, Mike writes about two friends. To an outsider, it would appear to be a heartwarming story focused on an inseparable pair who grow up together, later admitting their romantic love for one another. It is a tale that emphasizes the importance of making the hard choice, and dealing with the fallout rather than taking the easy way out.
But to Will, it is all that and more. An unspoken confession. -
