   Summary

   Will wouldn't know, his head pressed against the window pane in a sleepy daze, but he has a smile on his face so wide it must hurt his cheeks.

    

   Going home. Gonna be honest. Gonna tell Mike— sorry?

    

   Gonna tell Carlton I love him back.

   —

    

   Will is stuck between bettering himself and falling into the same old habits of his past. Unfortunately, it’s hard to better yourself sometimes when loving and hating Mike Wheeler is all you’ve ever known.
