Summary
Jonathan tries to have a talk with Mike about not playing with Will's feelings. It doesn't go as expected.
~
“Will really cares about you, you know?”“I care about him a lot, too,” Mike mutters at the ground.
“I know,” Jonathan smiles. Of course he knows that. He’s known Mike since the boy was five years old. He’s seen him share his comic books and stand up to bullies and sleep at Will’s side like he could fight off the nightmares with his bare hands.
“The two of you are just kind of different-”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Mike snaps.

Summary
“Did it hurt?” He leaned in, looking more closely.
“Well yeah.” Mike laughed nervously. “Still does actually, kind of throbs."
“It looks... really good.” Will’s stare unfixed from the piercing and took in Mike as a whole. His baggy black t-shirt over a tighter long sleeve waffle knit shirt that covered his arms, loose jeans, silver rings, chipped nail polish. And the newest addition: A shiny silver bar bisecting his eyebrow, the skin around it still a little angry.
“When did you get so cool?” Will tilted his head, scrunching his nose. Mike's heart picked up speed.
Mike checked his watch. “About an hour ago when this big dude stabbed me in the face.” With nonchalance that would be squandered instantly if Will caught a glimpse of his pulse. Will laughed a little too hard, eyes lingering on Mike’s face a little too long.

A morning in Will and Mikes life after 3 years of being together in NYC
“Will,” his voice was already thick with the knot in his throat, “I can’t keep doing this, if I don’t tell you now I’ll never get it out and I can’t keep lying it’s so ha-”
“Mike. Breathe, you're rambling” Will squeezed his hand just a bit tighter and Mike matched his breathing
“Will, I love you. I think I always have,” His eyes fell to the floor, tears burning his eyes as he fights himself to continue, “I-I don't want this to change anything but I just- it’s always been so different with me and you and I think it’s always been you? I jus-”
“Mike, Mike look at me.” Mike kept his head down.
“Michael.” At the sound of his full name, Mike looked up — only to see Will with the softest look of adoration on his face. He felt slightly cold hands cup both cheeks. Teary eyed, Will chuckled before clearing his throat to speak, leaning in closer, “Can I kiss you?”

Summary
Her gaze dropped to Mike’s hand on Will’s wrist. “Don’t hurt Papa!” she begged desperately.
For a split moment, Will didn’t understand, the thought so far-fetched, improbable, and ridiculous that it didn’t even cross his mind, but then the realization hit him like a bucket of cold water being dumped over his head.
She thought Mike was going to hit him.
Mike must’ve understood it at the same time, because his hand fell away, quick, like he’d been burned.
.........or: When Will and Mike’s four-year-old daughter walks in on an argument, she mistakes raised voices and hands for something far worse - she thinks Mike is going to hurt Will.
