Summary
“I want to explore that.”
The sentence shocks Will just as much as himself, and both of them freeze again. Mike’s mouth dries up further, if even possible, and he swallows hard to get some moisture back in his throat. His grip stays tight on Will, and Will can only, very slowly, turn his head back to somewhat look at Mike. The look on both their faces is equally mortified, and Will blinks a few times in disbelief.
“What?”
Somewhat catching his composure — and realising that there’s no turning back now — Mike stares at him and and presses on.
“Your neck. The — the sensitivity there. I — we should explore that.”
Will and Mike slip into an innocent, comfortable routine during which Will paints on Mike, and it soon turns into something more intimate than they can handle. Offering to help with the uncomfortable sensitivity of Will's neck, Mike starts to touch him there, saying they can condition Will to associate the sensation with something pleasant instead of feelings and visuals of the past.
What Mike doesn't know, however, is that the underlying reason for his sudden interest in said dynamic is just as hard to grasp as paint running through fingers.

Summary
The summer before college, Mike and Will move into a tiny studio together, ready to start their next chapter — only to discover their across-the-street neighbor has a very public, very active sex life. Their weekly “observations for research purposes” are all jokes and commentary…until one night the neighbor brings home a man, and something in Mike shifts. Suddenly the bit isn’t so funny, the spiral is very real, the lines start to get a little too blurry, and the curiosity feels a bit too personal.
Unfortunately for Mike, the only thing more distracting than the view outside is his childhood best friend living three feet away.

The Gradual Collapse of Certainty (and Everything I Thought I Knew About You) by layl4rchive

Summary
“I’m not jealous… Why would I be?”
Those words came easily from Till's mouth. But in reality, he had been thinking about it while Mizi and Sua acted like any couple would. Why was it so easy for them to decipher, and more importantly, express what they felt? How had they differentiated the feeling of friendship from that of love?
Till wasn't sure. He remembered having asked the same thing to his mother when he was a child.
“You will simply know it when you finally feel it, sweetie,” Io had answered. Till had thought it was a dumb response. “I can't describe the feeling since it's really unique, but it feels like...”
«Like your whole life suddenly found a rhythm you didn’t even know you were missing. Like everything just fits without you knowing about it. It’s not loud or extravagant. It’s… Really quiet, but impossible to ignore... When it happens… you won’t need to ask if it’s love. You will already know.»
As those quiet realizations crept into his own life, Till had to figure out what it meant for him. For Ivan. And maybe, for something he didn’t even know he was ready to accept.

Summary
"There's a national competition we'd like to sign you up for—not to play against each other, but for a violin-piano duet. The piece is your choice."
"The two of you are the most advanced people we have in the orchestra and the ensemble," Miss Hyuna added. "It would do our school well to be represented by you both."
Till nodded along, eyes drifting over to Ivan.
"I—" he started, before his mouth closed shut again. He didn't necessarily want to, but looking at his teachers… Could he disappoint them like that?
Ivan nodded, poster-boy smile on his face. "I'd be absolutely honoured to!"
Till is in the orchestra, Ivan is too and is fucking annoying... And now they have to perform a duet?!

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips by jeaanmoreau

Summary
“Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.
“What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”
Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”
So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.
