    Summary

    “Excuse me,” Mike chuckles, watching the light fill his eyes in the reflection in the mirror.

    “Excuse you,” Will says all-too innocently, bundling up into him right then and there.

    And, well. Looks like they’re stuck. Forever. Woe are they.

    Byler celebrates a very domestic first anniversary together. Happy pride month :)

    Summary

    “Hi,” Will blurts out before he can stop himself, and he can feel his cheeks heat up in embarrassment so quickly it must be unhealthy somehow. “Uh -“

    The guy shuts his phone off and reaches up to his ear to pull out an earbud. He shoots Will a grin, which does not help the whole blushing-crimson thing. “Hey,” he says coolly, and Will admires his composure while he wills the earth to collapse beneath him.

    The guy quirks an eyebrow at Will when he doesn’t look away, then seems to take in his slightly disheveled and paint-stained appearance - he’d had his painting and drawing class just before he’d gone home, and had managed, as he always does, to get paint everywhere - because his smile grows a little softer, a little fonder. His shoulders relax against the bench, and Will lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding. “You get sexiled?”

    misery loves company, especially when the company comes in the form of a cute English major.

    Summary

    “People liked me there,” Will says after a few minutes, staring up at the tragically blank ceiling. “In Lenora, I mean. It was- weird.”

    Mike snorts, letting his head loll to the side so that he can see Will’s profile, illuminated in the early evening light, tanned skin and freckles and wide hazel eyes still staring contemplatively skyward. Mike wants Will to turn his face and look at him, wants that wide-eyed gaze on him, wants to swallow every breath that Will exhales.

    At the same time, he’s not sure he’d survive something like that. He’s already barely keeping it together, just looking at him.

    “It was weird,” he echoes, faintly amused. “That people liked you?”

    Will’s eyes flick to him just briefly, and Mike’s heart rate increases by one thousand percent. “You know what I mean.”

    the one where mike and will missed each other, and they talk about it, and then they kiss about it.

    Summary

    "Um. Right," he answers, sort of forgetting what the question had been. He's too busy watching Will's face under the bright kitchen lights, gaze catching on his cheekbones, on the pretty pink flush against his tanned skin, on his lips- "Right, yeah."

    "Right," Will echoes, staring at him like he's grown a second head or something, which at this point would probably be the least weird thing to happen to Mike in his sorry excuse for a life, "To- um. To which part?"

    Mike tears his eyes away from Will's lips, feeling a bit dizzy. "What?"

    Will looks like he doesn't know whether to hit him again or check him for a head injury. "I asked," he says slowly, still frowning at him, "If you wanted to do this to make your guy jealous, and if you were using the Daniel thing as an excuse, because I don't even like him, really, and- uh."

    "Oh," Mike says, clearing his throat quickly and bobbing his head, "Um- yeah, something like that."

    In terms of plans, this might not be the worst one Mike's ever had. In terms of execution, well- there might be room for improvement.

    Summary

    “Hey, hey, it’s Mike. Um, sorry, is — is Will there?”

    There is no answer for a minute, drawn out so long that Mike almost thinks the call somehow disconnected despite the lack of a dial tone. He pulls the phone away from his face, looks at it as if that’ll give him any clarity on the matter, and lifts it back to his ear. “Hel—“

    “Uh,” Jonathan finally says, somehow more awkward than Mike, “It is Will.”

    Mike nearly drops the fucking phone.

    Five times Mike and Will shared a phone call throughout the years, plus one time they didn't have to.
