Summary
And his voice, his euphonious voice were sinful melodies to Mike’s ears, like a siren, calling out from the ocean, leading Mike into the waves to be feasted upon.
But if Mike were to do that, to have the pleasure of being the one to end Will’s euphoric life, he’d take his time doing it, because it’s what he deserves.
OR
Mike has an insatiable need to be closer to Will. Closer than humanly possible.

Summary
“So,” Dustin announced as he brought back drinks for the whole table and very pointedly tipped his head in the direction of Mike and Will, who were mid-heated discussion where they’d left them. “Is anybody going to tell me what happened there?”
Max rolled her eyes and said, “Will had a real ‘don’t meet your heroes’ moment,” at the same time as Lucas said, “Mike got his feelings hurt.”
Miscommunication kings Will and Mike have a falling out in the aftermath of their first kiss. Three years later, Jane & Dustin are getting married in the Florida Keys, and they want the whole party there. Sometimes it's easier to pretend to kiss and make up than to face your problems.

Summary
“Good?” Will asks as if he already knows the answer. Mike can hear it in his voice—the way the corners of his mouth are lifted into a small smile. He likes that he knows this about Will; can tell just from listening.
Mike nods, face buried into Will’s sweater. His cheeks are bright pink, but Will can’t see that from this angle. He doesn’t seem to think that anything’s wrong, either because his fingernails are still running over Mike’s head at the same, maddening pace; only now he keeps tugging at his curls in between before resuming, coaxing more of those unintentional noises from Mike’s throat. Little hums and whimpers that should be oh-so-embarrassing, but make Mike feel like he’s floating instead.
Very suddenly, Mike thinks about Will doing this in a completely different context. One that doesn’t have his face pressed into Will’s chest, but his yellow plaid pillowcase instead.
Or, Mike discovers that maybe, he wants to be taken care of sometimes, too.

“No,” Will whispers. Shaky, but stern, slipping out of his mouth in wisps of smoke. “No, you don’t want this. You’re drunk. You’re upset. You’re—” He stops. Locks eyes with Mike. Gaze drenched in that look of love. Giving away his secrets. While a blush burns up to his ears. “You’re not. Like me.”

But all Mike wants is to taste the tobacco on his best friend’s tongue.
OR:

Summary
"Cuddling reduces stress and triggers oxytocin release, it's proven to be a natural aid for better and deeper sleep. Not only does it give you a nice, fuzzy feeling, but it can be a biological trigger to enhance the quality of a person's sleep," Mike pauses as if hesitant to continue reading, but after a moment of silence, he does. "When two people cuddle, the body releases oxytocin, often called the 'love hormone.' All in all, cuddling can be a helpful tool to improve the quality of sleep as well as reduce stress and anxiety."
"You think that us cuddling will actually help me sleep?"
"Yeah, I think it could,” Mike nods, his eyes search Will's. "We could try it out? If you want?"
or:
When Will continues to suffer from intense nightmares after graduation, Mike comes up with a way to combat them… by cuddling.

Summary
"Need a light?" MJ looks down at the joint in Will's hands, confused.
"Oh, right now?" Will startles, looking at the door handle.
"Are you always this jumpy? Man, you really need this, huh? C'mere." Will hesitates. MJ sighs, reaching for the joint in Will's lap and feeding it to him.
He sparks the lighter and holds it to the end of the freshly rolled joint. Will watches his eyes on the flame, unsure what to do next. "Breathe in." MJ demands through an airy laugh, waiting for the end of the joint to glow before leaning back in his seat.

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives.

It’ll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.
