    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

    Summary

    Will is in New York City now. He’s graduated from art school. He has a new boyfriend. He’s accepted himself in ways he never thought he could. For the first time in his life, he’s happy—really happy. He’s moved on from Hawkins. Moved on from the past. He looks toward the future now instead of over his shoulder.

    He’s moved on from Mike.

    At least, that’s what he tells himself.

    But when Mike stops calling—when weeks stretch into months, and months into years without a single word from the boy he once loved—

    Will can’t help but feel it.

    That quiet, cavernous emptiness opening up inside his chest.

    — or —

    Mike does something that leaves Will feeling completely helpless, even though they are hundreds of miles apart.
