Summary
“Ilya,” he clarified, wincing as he swallowed, his throat feeling like he’d eaten a fistful of glass. “I need to call Ilya.”
He fumbled around for his phone, desperately needing to hear his fiance’s voice. Together, they could figure this out. They’d make a plan. Ilya could drive with his parents from Ottawa and–
But Ilya wasn’t in Ottawa. He was in Russia.
No.
No.
They’d kill Ilya in Russia. They’d kill him, or arrest him, or– or–
Oh god, they’d kill him.
__________________________________________________________________________A family emergency means Ilya is in Russia when Hayden's FanMail video ends up on Twitter, outing them to the entire world. It, predictably, ends horribly.

Summary
Oh. Right. The boy. The boy who, by now, has noticed Mike, and Mike looks up just in time to see him pop into his field of vision, a curious look on his face.
"Are you okay?" he asks, peering down at Mike, then glancing up at the fence, then looking down at him again with obvious amusement. "That was quite a drop."
Okay. So maybe Mike is dead, after all. "Um," he says intelligently, flushing pink and following the boy's gaze to the fence, "Yeah, I- I'm fine."
The boy's smirk widens, and he nods slowly, extending a hand. "You live up there?" he asks, nodding to the house above them, and Mike nods as he cautiously accepts the hand being offered. "And you just, what, make a habit of falling onto other people's property?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that," Mike huffs, regaining some of his brain power, and the boy grins widely and gives his arm a sharp tug, pulling him to his feet in one swift motion. Mike stumbles, nearly falling over again, and the boy catches him with a steadying hand on his shoulder.
mike falls off of a fence, learns about signs from the universe, and meets a boy. not necessarily in that order.

Summary
From somewhere in the house, floorboards creak, and Nancy freezes, grip on her water glass tightening. She holds her breath, counts to ten three times over, and then, when nothing jumps out of the (albeit limited) darkness to attack her, she relaxes, taking another steadying sip of water and shaking her head, annoyed with herself.
“Nancy?” a voice asks from the doorway, and she drops the glass.
Nancy is a little intimidated by Will, even though she has approximately zero reasons to be.

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
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.
