   Summary

   A short slow burn between Mike and Will highlighting their struggles with internalized homophobia.

   Or

   I can’t bring myself to look anymore. It hurts too badly, so instead, I stare down. I outline my shoe laces with my eyes. I follow the lines of the wooden floor because I can’t look at Mike and El kissing one more time or it might break me.

   I keep my eyes busy. I glance from stranger to stranger to the stage to ceiling to Mike.

   Mike. Mike Mike Mike.
