Summary
“Are you talking about…?” Will lets the question trail off, trusting Mike to know exactly what he means.
“Yeah,” Mike worries his bottom lip between his teeth. “Yeah. I’m talking about our conversation by the tower, Will.”
Hearing his name like that, deliberate, weighted, makes Will’s chest tighten. Mike only does that when something really matters. And this matters.
“I—” Will starts, then exhales in shaky relief when Mike cuts him off. Thank God. He has no idea what he was about to say. He’s barely holding himself together.
“Just let me finish, okay?” Mike insists. Will could swear he shifts closer. “I mean… I can’t be more than your best friend. I just can’t, Will.”
The words hit like a punch, and before the ache in Will’s chest can fully set in, Mike rushes on.
“But I want to do things to you,” he admits quietly, honestly, “that no best friends should ever want to do to each other.”
Or Mike is a repressed POS who wants Will without having to face what wanting him actually means.

Extremely disparaging and offensive. A contemptuous term used to refer to a gay man.Or: Set fifteen years after graduation. Will is a wildly successful artist, while Mike is a struggling author, divorced, and raising a son. Haunted by the thought of what could have been if he weren't so afraid.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has a problem. He might be sent to Pennhurst if this keeps up. Or maybe just grounded for life if his mom ever sees his recent chemistry test. And it all started with Will and his stupid, small waist.
