    Summary

    “Jesus, how much did you drink?” Mike frowns. He hadn’t been counting them up or anything — he’s not Will’s keeper — but he’s sure it couldn’t have been enough for him to be acting like this. They’d been out on the trail for just a couple of hours, and whatever shitty booze Dustin had managed to wheedle off Steve probably didn’t surpass an ABV of 20% anyway. Will holds up a clumsy hand and, squinting in concentration, puts up four fingers. He lowers one after a moment, frowns, then puts it back up again. “Okay,” Mike says, after four does not turn back into three. “So you’re kind of a lightweight. Good to know.”

    Will huffs, a sharp, irritated noise. “I’m not that drunk,” he says — a blatant lie.

    The Party partakes in Camp Whiteman's (unofficial) first-year counselor traditions, and Mike partakes in being designated babysitter.

    Summary

    “Hi,” Will blurts out before he can stop himself, and he can feel his cheeks heat up in embarrassment so quickly it must be unhealthy somehow. “Uh -“

    The guy shuts his phone off and reaches up to his ear to pull out an earbud. He shoots Will a grin, which does not help the whole blushing-crimson thing. “Hey,” he says coolly, and Will admires his composure while he wills the earth to collapse beneath him.

    The guy quirks an eyebrow at Will when he doesn’t look away, then seems to take in his slightly disheveled and paint-stained appearance - he’d had his painting and drawing class just before he’d gone home, and had managed, as he always does, to get paint everywhere - because his smile grows a little softer, a little fonder. His shoulders relax against the bench, and Will lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding. “You get sexiled?”

    misery loves company, especially when the company comes in the form of a cute English major.

    Summary

    Mike feels—fuzzy, a little bit. Not from the wine, because he didn’t have much, but just from the day itself. From his realization. From the certainty that he can’t go back, after this. He’s let himself feel it. He’s let himself decide. From today on, there’ll just be the time before he knew he liked Will, and the time after.

    Without really thinking about it, he swipes over to his messages. His and Will’s pathetic last conversation is still there, Will’s gracious apology and Mike’s fumbling acceptance. The screen blurs in front of his eyes; light and color and sound. He types:

    Do you ever think about us?

    He presses send.

    Summary

    “Wait, an- artsy guy from L.A.,” Mike repeats, frowning, “as in-”

    Down the hall, the door to Debbie’s office swings open, and Mike’s mouth drops open. “Oh,” he groans, “you have got to be kidding me.”

    Will does not look any more pleased to see him than Mike is. “Oh,” he says stiffly, as Debbie’s office door clicks shut behind him. “You again.”

    “Nice to see you too,” Mike replies, and Will’s face drops into a scowl.

    Exes, rivalries, and far too much mistletoe. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Victor Vale is restless and still hung up over the fact that Eli Ever is out there roaming the streets somewhere claiming to be a hero. Perhaps Victor has some sort of gut instinct telling him to leave his apartment and try and locate Eli based on a hunch alone. Or maybe Victor thinks a drink can temporarily solve his unease on Eli's whereabouts. Either way, he finds himself entering an elevator in attempt to leave the hotel so he can figure things out alone. But that all comes to a halt once he realises that Eli is far off from leaving Victor alone.
