Summary
“Sorry. I just—I have this… thing,” Mike says slowly. “I think. About you being, like, protected, I guess? Taken care of. I think that’s why I find it so nice that you’re relaxed and healthy now. Because you never got to experience that before.”
“That’s… actually really sweet,” Will says, smiling. “Is that why you always want to cook me food and buy me things?”
It’s an honest question. Mike can tell from the look in Will’s eyes. He’s being completely genuine, not even trying to tease Mike about it. He probably doesn’t realise how deep this runs. Just how badly Mike wants this.
or
Will is happy, healthy, and glowing. Mike has a very hard time being normal about it.

Summary
“Do I really have to do this?” Will asks, for what is presumably the millionth time. He lost track a while ago.
“Yes,” Max replies without hesitation. “You’re unbearably lonely.”
Will drops his jaw, offended. Sure, he might not have the most entertaining love life, but he wouldn’t go that far. He’s happy where he is. Content. He doesn’t need a guy to fulfill him. “My loneliness is completely bearable.”
—
Will reluctantly joins a dating app at his friends’ insistence. He doesn’t have much hope, until he’s messaged by a dork who likes rocks.

There was nothing left to save him from the shadows that overtook him.
Like the saying goes: if there’s no one in a forest to hear a tree fall, does it really make a sound?
There was no one around to hear him scream.

Summary
From the reddish puffy eyes, Mike knows Will’s been crying. The tears still clinging to his lashes fall when he first blinks. His cheeks are flushed a soft pink that seems to darken when his mouth slightly opens—he wasn’t expecting to see Mike, after all.
Even like this, he still looks like a vision from heaven.
or
Mike left when he should've have stayed. Now, he'll beg on his knees for Will to forgive him.

Summary
“’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.
“Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.
“Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”
It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.
.........
Or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.
