Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

Summary
"So you- you haven't, like. Kissed anyone, then?" Mike asks, fully aware that he should probably just quit while he's ahead but needing to know, suddenly, if Will has any sort of romantic entanglements that he's neglected to tell Mike about. He's not sure why, but there's something in his gut that demands to know, has some sort of sudden need to know if Will has kissed anyone that's not him.
If Will has kissed anyone that's not-
Wait, what?
or: Mike is jealous of himself.

Summary
“I can show you the real thing, if you want me to.”
“What?”
“We could practice. I mean, actually kissing. I wouldn’t mind.”Or Will is getting ready for a date and looks defeated, before it even started. Helping him practice might be just the thing to help Mike make sense of his own confusing feelings.

Summary
Kelly’s grin widens, and Will, vaguely, feels a bit afraid. “Dude, this is so great,” she says, and Will- he agrees , but he’s failing to see why she would think so, because she’s not the one who gets to be all insanely into Mike Wheeler all the time. That’s just for him, the possessive part of Will thinks, and immediately feels guilty about. “We’ve all been dying to find out who this guy is.”
Will blinks. “I- huh?”
“Your muse,” a voice from behind Will says, and Marcus Jacobs, Will’s roommate and Kelly’s- well, Kelly’s something , judging by the look he gives her, grins at them both as he steps over to wrap an arm around Kelly’s waist. “That guy you’re always drawing?”
Will may or may not have a muse. Mike may or may not be thrilled with this information.
