Summary
“You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”
“It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

Summary
“I love you too!” He felt his mouth dry, his stomach hurting with tight knots that made him want to throw up. “I’m sure I’ve loved you since I joined you in that swing set, Will.”
Warm tears ran down his cheeks, he didn’t even know when they had slipped out, he didn’t even care, not when Will was looking at him with such disbelieving eyes that it hurt. The beautiful hazel fogged by unshed and too much shedded tears.
“You don’t mean that.”
———————
Or, Mike understands why Will avoiding him hurts much more than breaking up with El. He’s not sure what to do about it, he just knows that he needs his best friend back. And if to achieve that he has to bury his feelings in the depths of his heart, so be it.
