Summary
Then Will’s gaze lifted back to his face.
Will was flirting with him.
Oh God.
“So…” Will said, shifting just a little closer, not enough to crowd him, but enough to make the space between them feel smaller. “Are you here alone?”
Mike hesitated.
No.
This is not happening.
For a brief second, his mind jumped to the door, to the people around them, to the exit he had been trying to reach just moments ago.
He could still leave.
He should find the exit

Summary
After a long silence, Will spoke. “What are you reading?”
Mike hesitated, then tilted the book cover toward him. Hoping he wouldn’t ask too many questions, or ask him to read it too. With the big red dragon on the cover, he felt safe.
Will blinked, eyes widening slightly. “Oh.”
“What?”
“I… didn’t think it was your kind of book,” he admitted softly, voice low, shy.
“Fantasy books?” Mike asked, playing dumb.
Will hesitated, chewing the inside of his cheek, fingers twisting nervously in his lap. “Mike… do you know what you’re reading?”
Mike shook his head, pretending ignorance, though his fingers gripping the pillow gave him away.
“It’s… gay smut. From beginning to end,” Will said quietly, avoiding Mike’s eyes.
Mike’s ears went red. “You’ve read it?”
“Yeah,” Will admitted, shrugging, glancing down.
“Why?” Mike asked, clutching the pillow tighter.
Will shrugged again, probably not expecting the question. “It’s… good.”

Summary
"Mike! It’s freezing! Where’s your umbrella?” Will’s voice cut through the storm, warm and familiar, pulling him back to the present.
“I… I forgot it,” Mike stammered.
“At least put your hood on, you moron.” Will stepped closer, tugging Mike’s jacket hood over his damp hair. He angled the umbrella to cover both of them and brushed raindrops off Mike’s shoulder.The gesture was small but it felt monumental.
“What are you doing here?” Mike asked, still staring.
“To see you, of course.”
“Why?”
“Because I missed my best friend. Is that a problem?”God. He had missed him so much.
