    Summary

    It's the summer after graduation, the party decided to take a gap year. Slowly learning what it's like to live normal lives, after previously just 'surviving'.

    Mike and Will have an awkward start slow burn romance, exploring each other at their own pace.

    ~OR~

    “You good?” Will asks carefully.

    “Yep!” Mike says too fast. “Totally. Just, uh… a cramp.”

    A cramp. Sure.

    Will props himself up on one elbow, eyebrows now raised, scanning his body over. “You don’t look like you have a cramp.” He teased.

    Just then, Mike considers launching himself out the window.
    Instead, he grabs a pillow and presses it very casually over his lap. Extremely casually, no one has ever been more casual.

    Will freezes. Watching him closely.
    There’s a heavy beat of silence.

    “Uh huh, that’s what I thought.” Will smirked.

    If the upside-down opened up right now, split back open and swallowed him whole, Mike would welcome it.

    “I umm, this is…” Mike stammers, face burning. “It’s not what it looks like, I mean, well it is, but not like that, I wasn’t…”

    He stops there, because there is absolutely no version of this sentence that would make this situation better.
