   Summary

   One envelope, a quiet afternoon, and too many things left unsaid.

   Will and Mike sit together in a fragile space where laughter, guilt, and unspoken feelings mingle. There are messy confessions, grief that lingers, and the weight of emotions that don’t fit neatly into words.

   Or

   Them just being stupidly in love. Second fic btw, omg!!
