   Summary

   “You didn’t tell me Will had a boyfriend!”

   Shit. Mike felt his own jaw drop without even realizing it.

   “No, he doesn’t,” Max said, but it came out more like a question than anything. And then she looked over at Mike, who was horribly red in the face and was suddenly feeling an overwhelming urge to reconnect with nature after this. “Wait. Does he?”

   OR: Mike gets jealous at a party, accidentally reveals that Will has a boyfriend, and neglects to tell anybody that he's the boyfriend in question.
