  Summary

  Mike stared back, heart squeezing painfully at the sight of his Will looking so tired and sorrowful. That’s when Mike knew it was his turn to start being honest. He opened his mouth, ready to confess all his suppressed emotions, all the love and affection he bears for Will, but his mouth closed seconds after it had opened. If he was going to be brave and tell Will everything, then he was going to tell him everything.

  “My whole life for as long as i can remember i’ve just been obsessed with being normal, whatever that means.” Mike sighed, voice low and raw. Will watched him closely, confused where all this came from but nevertheless his gaze felt comforting, like a warm blanket Mike never wanted to leave.
