   Summary

   Will and Mike are college roommates and they love hosting Max and Lucas for movie nights. Lucas and Max are sick of watching Mike pathetically yearn for Will when they know for a fact that if he'd just confess his feelings, he could have what he wants. Mike is, unfortunately, stubborn and jealous and is much more comfortable wistfully admiring Will and bullying his annoying boyfriend, Carlton.
