   Summary

   “Will?” Mike whispers tentatively.
   “Hmm?”
   "I love you," Mike breathes against his neck, the words imprinted on Will's skin where they will haunt him nightly.
   "Liar." Will snaps, voice tight as Mike's hands desperately thread through Will’s hair, needing to feel more of him.
   "I’m not. I'm so in love with you, Will," Mike whispers, voice trembling.
   Will stiffens, clutching Mike's shirt tighter, knuckles white with strain.
   "If you're not lying, you're so fucking cruel."

   or Mike has a girlfriend but always goes back to Will, no matter who he's dating.
