Summary
“It’ll just be the party. You can go grab a bottle of tequila or something down the street in celebration, and then drink whatever concoction Dustin has decided to experiment with this month.”
Mike goes hmmph in response.
“C’mon, man,” chides Max. “You’ll enjoy it. I promise. You’ve been a wreck the past few weeks. I’m assuming it’s about the Will stuff—”
“It’s not.”
“Okay, I guess we’re lying.”
“I’m not.”
“Keep telling yourself that, Wheeler.”
As in, Dustin sends everyone an “Am I Gay” quiz and sends Mike into a spiral in the months leading up to his birthday. When the big day comes, he decides to do something brave.

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don’t count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the friend group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.

Summary
Apparently Mike and El are trying to “reignite the spark” by having a weekly date night. El had lit up enthusing about it, had broken into her piggy bank to get a new dress for the occasion.
Mike, for his part, hasn’t looked Will in the eye since the almost-thing had almost-happened.
And Will. Well, Will keeps drawing Mike’s stupid hands.AKA, Mike takes El out for date nights and is a perfect gentleman, and afterwards, he sneaks into Will's room to do less-than-gentlemanly things.
