    Summary

    Mike was in the living room when he heard it. The rhythmic banging of a headboard against the wall, and what sounded like Carlton’s voice calling out Will’s name. It was hard not to hear the absence of Will’s voice, and it was more difficult to not notice the lights.

    They didn’t flicker once.

    But the day before, the lights had flickered when Mike had simply smiled at Will from across the room. And that’s when a dangerous thought formed in Mike’s mind. Maybe there is hope, maybe Carlton isn’t the one Will wants.

    Maybe it could be him making the headboard smash into the wall, making the lights flicker. Hell, maybe Will could cause a power surge, or cause the lights to go out. Mike bets he could do it, if Will would let him touch him the way Carlton does.
