Summary
"Hunter stared up in cold terror, blood still dripping down his chin, at the chunk of flesh Belos was holding up. His tongue. His uncle had cut out his tongue.
Belos turned it side to side, examining it. Then his sharp gaze landed on Hunter. 'Don't look at me that way, boy. This tongue was a privilege. A privilege you abused. Thus a privilege that has been revoked.'"Or, being the Golden Guard is much more difficult when you can't speak.

Summary
That was the shape of his love: quiet, unnoticed, and expendable.
But this? Mike’s grip told a different story. This was not expendable.
Will’s spent years believing he was the one who’d slip through the cracks — the one no one would notice until he was gone. But when he nearly falls apart, it’s Mike who holds on like letting go might end the world.

Summary
“I just–” Mike interrupts, voice cracking as if the words are knives in his throat. “Why does everything have to be like this? Why does this have to be so hard? Why can’t we just–” he cuts himself off, frustrated, with a scoff.
Will knows Mike well enough to hear everything he's not saying: Why can’t we just be like everyone else? Why do I have to hide how much I love you?
And God, Will feels it too—every bit of it.

Summary
They brush their teeth side by side, Will gesturing a little too enthusiastically with his toothbrush, his reflection in the mirror looking just as lively as he sounds. Mike can’t help the smile spreading across his face, toothpaste foam gathering in the corners of his mouth. Will glances over and raises an eyebrow, catching Mike grinning like an idiot.
“What?” Will mumbles around his toothbrush.
“Nothing,” Mike replies, shaking his head. He rinses his mouth, his smile only growing wider. “You’re just… you’re really cute when you talk about stuff.”
Will flushes slightly but rolls his eyes, spitting into the sink. “You’re such a dork,” he mutters, though his smile betrays him.
