Summary
“D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.
“What?”
“How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.
“You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.
“Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”
A collection of moments between cowboy Mike and saloon worker Will as they start to understand what they want in life. Story set in the Red Dead Redemption universe. Byler Big Bang 2024

Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

Summary
Mike should do something. He should tell Will to stay. He should tell Will everything. So finally, he does, starting in the only way he knows how. The only way that he can understand.
Mike sits up, heart pounding in his hollowing chest. Will’s head whips around to face him, his alluring eyes staring deep into his soul. Mike reaches forward, finding his hand in the darkness. Ignoring the warmth he feels at the sudden contact, he squeezes quickly, not once, not twice, but three times. He waits a second then squeezes for a second. Another second passes and he squeezes quickly again, followed by a longer one. Then he squeezes for a second, then quickly, then squeezes two longer ones.
S T A Y
Mike looks up at Will, praying for understanding. He sees no recognition of the words so he tries again, squeezing out the same word and another.
P L E A S E
OR
During a sleepover, Mike decides to confess his feelings to Will the only way he knows how: morse code.
