Summary
Mike and Will are college roommates, and what starts as a stupid, half-baked joke during a hazy group hangout turns into something much more complicated. Mike and Lucas make a bet on No Nut November, and Mike is convinced it’ll be easy. That is, until the very next night, when he overhears Will masturbating in his room. Suddenly the bet doesn’t feel so simple. As the days drag on, the tension builds, and Mike finds himself unraveling in ways he didn’t expect, forced to confront the uncomfortable possibility that maybe he wasn’t as straight as he thought.

READ THE TAGS. PLEASE GOD READ THE TAGS. THIS IS A VERY ANGSTY, HEAVY FIC WITH A LOT OF DARK THEMES. READ THOSE TAGS. THANK YOU.
Slow updates possibly, because I have trauma with DV myself. This fic started as a project to help me work through my trauma, but after I got a little tipsy and decided to post it on TikTok a lot of people wanted to read this fic. I hope this finds someone who will enjoy reading as much as I will enjoy writing, but due to how close to home the abuse aspect is, it might be a while between chapters. But I promise I won't abandon it, and will still post as regularly as I can. This fic is too important for me to just abandon 🤗 Y'all just might have to bear with me.
Also some of the chapters are REALLY long lol so it takes a while to edit them.

Will had never imagined, in those days when their innocence was at its peak — when the crisp fall air could blow against Will’s face and he wouldn’t feel the phantom breath of an otherworldly monster on the back of his neck — that Mike’s hatred for his father was so deep and so intense that he would do what he just did.

Maybe Mike would’ve felt brave for once and held Will’s hand. Maybe, Will wouldn’t have minded. Maybe then, he’d ask to go somewhere else, a broom closet or something, and maybe in there, Mike would have had the guts to spill everything out. Tell Will how much he cared for him, how he was the most important thing in Mike’s life, how he would rather his dad die a thousand times over than Will leave him. Tell Will just how much he lov-
Ding!
His coffee’s ready.

Will knew he had a problem. An embarrassingly serious problem called “A massive crush on his straight best friend.” It was driving Will mad, really. But if that wasn’t enough, he had been caught in another problem, the “He can’t stop drawing his very straight best friend naked” kind.
Or
Will draws his best friend nude, a lot. But no one has to ever know. Until, accidentally, he sends a letter to said best friend using one of the drawings he had done as the paper.
What is his shock when he receives a letter with a Polaroid replicating his drawing and a very suggestive story about their dnd characters.
