    Summary

    “Will!” Mike couldn’t see anything. He was panicking. Five seconds ago he’d been leaning against the couch with Will’s head in his lap. Now he wasn’t. Mike’s basement began to fade back into view. But... it wasn't right. His grandma’s old quilt, the one that had been on its last legs and had finally fallen apart over a year ago, was laid against the couch. The walls of the basement were covered in Will’s old art, just the old stuff, not the new stuff.

    “Mike.” A voice cut through the hollow silence.

    Mike pales. A boy of around fourteen stands in front of him now, in a sweater and jeans. His freckled skin is flushed with red and his almost black hair is out of order. He looks scared. It's HIM. It's Micheal Wheeler. Or was, anyway.

    ...

     

    In the winter of 1988, Mike meets his younger self in a vision of sorts, and helps him sort through his shit.

     

    Title taken from the song 'Fourth of July' by Sufjan Stevens.

    Summary

    “Mike?” Will’s voice quivered, distracting him from his tests, “I don’t think we’re in your basement anymore?”

    “Huh?” Mike stared gormlessly at Will whose head was swinging widely from point to point around the room.

    “We’re not in your basement!” Will said, definitely sounding panicked at this point.

    It took a moment for Will’s words to compute, his brain struggling to catch up as he regained his remaining mental facilities. Which would make more sense had he landed on his head, not his back.

    Not being in his basement would explain the soft landing, white ceiling, and the spontaneous music at least. It saved him a broken back that’s for sure.

    He slowly peeked around the room taking in the large double bed, sturdy set of drawers, and the overflowing bookcase tucked in the corner.

    No way!

     

    No freaking way!

     

    He was back!

    Summary

    Eighteen months later, Mike sat on Will’s bed, staring at his best friend’s graduation gown.  

    “It’s just so… orange,” Will made a face at the fabric in his hands. He looked up at Mike. “I mean, does that make sense to you at all? Orange?” 

    Mike stood, grabbing the matching cap and placing it on Will’s head with a grin. Will’s hair went flat over his eyes. “I dunno, graduate,” Mike teased, flicking the tassel. 

    Will stuck out his tongue. “I still wish they'd stuck with green, like Jonathan and Nancy got. At least I'd look okay in green.” His voice had a little whine to it, and Mike held back a snicker.

    “I’m sure you look just as good in orange,” Mike said seriously.

    Will shook his head and turned away. "Sure."

    Mike’s eyes lingered on the curve of Will's cheek, the flutter of his lash, the place where his t-shirt had been left untucked from his cuffed blue jeans. He was fascinated by the way Will rested his weight on one leg, his left foot hooked behind his right ankle. His stupid yellow socks.  

    Mike's stomach plummeted.

    -

    mike's conversation with jane in the void goes a little differently.

    the night before graduation, mike confides in will at the cabin.
