  Summary

  Will and Mike have been secretly dating for the summer, and plan to keep it secret until college starts.

  During a party sleepover, Will’s stuck inside a terrible nightmare and Mike’s faced with one of the hardest decisions he’s known.

  (Will and Mike are so painfully lovey-dovey and they think they’re slick during the day, and Will has a whole crisis during the night.)
