    Summary

    “Was it a good kiss?” Max asks, grabbing one of Will’s shoulders.

    “It was just a goodnight kiss, that’s not anything to go off of, really” Will says, but he’s smiling a little still. Max and Jane pretend to be scandalized, making noises, laughing, teasing. Mike feels a little genuinely scandalized, he didn't know Will… did stuff like this. “You kissed him after a first date?” Mike asks. Jane and Max laugh, Lucas even chuckles actually. Will sputters for a second but then smooths himself out, “I’m a modern guy, Mike, come on” he laughs a little, clearly half joking.

    “But it was your first date!” Mike says, like that means something huge, and somehow in his mind it does. Will kind of stops laughing, “come on, Mike, is that really so weird? It’s pretty normal…”. Max sighs, rolling her eyes, “oh my god, Mike, why are you acting like Will is some delicate virgin?”. Mike kind of startles at that, “I- is he-? He’s, like, not?” Mike asks, trying to play this cool but knowing that he’s failing.

    Summary

    Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.

    And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.

    OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

    Summary

    “I—I would tell you.” He says reflexively, but he doesn’t take it back. The words are true. He hears Mike’s breath catch and his hand twitches. “I just wouldn’t want you to– to pity me. Or see me… differently.”

    “I would never.” The response is instant. “You’re strong. I’d never pity you. I… god, how do I explain?” Mike turns his body to face Will head on and grabs his hand properly. Will feels a shiver run through him, but he squeezes back all the same. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry, for what you’ve been through, whatever it is. But it would never, never make me look at you differently.”

    “Promise?”

    “I promise."

     

    Or: Will breaks down after the events at the MAC Z and trusts Mike to help him pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    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.
