Summary
“You seem to be doing just fine for yourself.”
Part of Mike means it to be a sharp and defensive quip, but it comes out as sad as it really is. Will’s eyes are glassy and round and unfairly innocent. Big doe eyes pinning Mike in place. Mike can never escape their gaze.
“What else am I supposed to do?”
Wait for me. Mike can’t say that. He’s been selfish enough. He should’ve said it months ago, should’ve sat Will down and told him everything at graduation, but he didn’t. Now he’s too late. He can never grasp the time that slipped away from him.
or: Mike visits Will in college and realizes just how much has changed. Will is moving on. Mike can't do the same. Everything has changed, except that Mike is still in love with him.
