Summary
“You can go back inside, you know,” Mike finally says, after a few moments of silence. It’s a late leeway, because the selfish part of him that wants Will all to himself wants Will to stay here, say that he wouldn’t be anywhere else, to kiss him, to scoot a little closer and let him know he’s here. “I’m fine.”
“Okay,” Will replies, and makes no move to get up.
Mike squints at him, and Will turns away from the street to look back. He offers a grin. Mike squints harder, despite his own lips twitching into a smile.
Mike escapes a celebration party to drown in his own loneliness. Will joins him.

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Will says again, just to make sure Mike knows, and it comes out more sensical this time, his voice croaking and worn out.
He can feel the brush of Mike’s chin on the crown of his head when Mike shakes his head. “Don’t be,” he replies, and he sounds certain. There’s a beat of silence, before he slowly questions, “Feel better?”
Will swallows, and gives a slow nod. Mike doesn’t let go.
Will wakes up from a nightmare, and Mike keeps him close.

Summary
“No idea what you’re talking about,” Mike says, and his embarrassing insistence is worth it when Will lets out a light laugh, soft and summery. Mike readjusts himself, just to make sure his legs don’t go entirely numb when he’s crouched over Will like this, torsos pressed together and arms slotted together. “No idea.”
“Uh-huh.” A smile teases at Will’s lips, amusement in his voice. It’s all too attractive. “Alright, tough guy.”
“That’s me,” Mike beams, and Will’s smile tastes sweet when he comes in close for a kiss, catching him open-mouthed.
Will's powers seem to go haywire every time they kiss.

Summary
“Why haven’t we kissed yet?”
And – strike that, maybe Will is dead.
“You,” Will says dumbly. “I – what?”
“Us,” Mike specifies, like we could have meant anyone else, although the clarification is still appreciated, because Will’s brain feels a little useless, right now. “Kiss. You and me.”A summer afternoon in Mike's room and Will's mess of a brain.

Summary
His hand is steadily aching. Will says, “You shouldn’t have punched him.”
Mike pushes his fingers into his thighs. “That’s stupid.”
“I wish you didn’t,” Will readjusts. He brings up a hand to hold Mike’s face again, fingers a little damp where they press against his cheek, his jaw. Mike wants to lean into it. “He isn’t – he doesn’t bother me anymore, you know. What he says. It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t matter.”
Mike shrugs. “I don’t regret it,” he says, and Will leans away, looks at him properly. “I’d do it again.”
Mike gets hurt, and Will fixes him up, in more ways than one.

Summary
“Okay,” Mike echoes. “So, I was – thinking. We should sleep together.”
Will, for some reason, still looks lost, but he looks cute – sweet, like that, pink cheeks and eyes wide and glossy and the slight furrow of his eyebrows like Mike has given him something outlandish.
“I,” he starts, “don’t understand.”
Mike proposes a sleepover.
Unsurprisingly, no sleeping is done.Series

Summary
“I feel like you used to tell me things,” Mike says.
Will looks away from his Walkman, back to Mike. It’s almost startling, finding him already looking back. “I – tell you things,” he replies, a little awkwardly. He barely gets through the sentence before Mike is already shaking his head.
"No,” he frowns, “you – you used to tell me things. Like, stuff you wouldn’t tell everyone else.” He seems conflicted, and he looks away. “Stuff just between us.”
Will doesn’t know where to begin.
Will tries to navigate a conversation with a freshly-broken-up-with Mike.
