Summary
Mike is shy, awkward, and overthinks everything, while Will is charismatic, well-liked, and seems completely out of Mike's league. They first properly meet when Mike helps Will carry a canvas, and ever since then Mike can't stop thinking about him. Through their mutual friends, especially Max, Lucas, and Dustin they keep ending up in the same places, whether it's hanging out in dorms, parties, or game nights.
As Mike spends more time around Will, he's caught between excitement and insecurity. Every glance, conversation, and small interaction feels significant to him, while he's constantly trying to figure out what Will thinks of him. Meanwhile, Will seems drawn to Mike too, showing flashes of jealousy and interest that suggest there might be more beneath his confident exterior. As their friend groups become intertwined, both boys find themselves navigating college life, new friendships, and growing feelings that neither of them fully knows how to handle.
