   Summary

   “Have you,” Mike starts, but his voice breaks halfway through. He swallows hard, loud enough for Will to hear, and then he tries again. “Have you seen the news?”

   Will's heart lurches, and he can feel how his shoulders slump. Of course he’s seen it.

   It’s everywhere, on every channel, every headline. Every glowing marquee in the city. People crying in the streets, strangers kissing, rainbow flags hanging from fire escapes. New York is alive tonight in a way it’s never been before. He's been staring out his window, a little in fear, and a little in a kind of freedom that he's never gotten before.

   “Yeah,” Will whispers. “I saw.”

    

   or, YAY!!! Gay marriage is now legal in the place they grew up. Mike calls Will the second he hears, and they reconnect.
