Summary
Mike’s breath is shaky, his focus suddenly catching up to the bouncing of his knee.
He’s spiraling.And then — Will’s hand finds his, and at the touch of their fingertips, the panic ceases.
His ears stop ringing, as his breath finds its place within his chest.Mike can breathe.
He’s at the dinner table next to his best friend — next to Will, and Will knows everything, now.
Before them, rests Mike’s heart upon a silver plate, all his cards laid out.
Will’s touch is soothing, each brush of his thumb over Mike’s skin, like the roll of a dice — a Nat 20 landing right-side up on the table. A critical win.
His heart steadies between his ribs.
Mike’s safe.
Will’s got him.
Or
Set a month after Mike returns home from Spring Break. On the surface — a Byler fanfic — in the subtext, though, a love letter to grief, coming out, and to the queer coming of age.
