    Summary

    The music was a thundering heartbeat under his skin, caught in the mass of the moving bodies around him. Mike closed his eyes at the feeling. He had never in his life felt like this before. He didn’t know how to handle the emotions that were running rampant inside him.

    Fear. Joy. Shame.

    But most of all, he felt free.

    He opened his eyes again just as a new song started playing. His and Ben’s bodies adjusted to fit to the new rhythm. Mike’s eyes moved up again to look at the crowd and that was when he saw him.

    Will.

    Or: Mike is visiting Will in New York and has a bisexual crisis at a gay bar.

    Summary

    Mike had seen Will scared. He’d seen him quiet, cautious, defiant, brave in ways no one else noticed.

    But he’d never seen him like this— nail bat in hand, every swing clean and brutal, every movement sharp with purpose. The fight should have left Mike frozen with fear, but instead he found himself watching in awe and something he couldn't quite name.

    Summary

    If Mike were to be questioned about what happened earlier, he would say that he didn’t mean for it to happen at all.

    And, like, yeah, he’s not lying or anything. He really wasn’t planning on kissing his best friend straight on the mouth in a valiant attempt to shut him up, but saying that he didn’t mean for it to happen implies that it was a mistake, accidental, unthinking, even; and that’s–well–that’s not strictly true, either.
