Summary
The feeling of being wanted is a powerful drug. Being wanted by the one you want is incomparable.
"Mike," Will says lowly. "You’re— You’re so close."
Too close, his brain supplies, a little hysterical. Too much.
Mike doesn’t pull away. "I know."
"Why?"
"Keeping up…" Mike exhales a short laugh that Will feels on his neck, "appearances."
-
A guy hits on Will at a party, Mike leaves with a hickey, and by morning everybody thinks they're dating.
Will knows it’s supposed to be pretend. He just doesn’t know how to act like he hasn’t wanted this for as long as he can remember.

Summary
Mike isn’t Will’s Tammy. He’s not an idea, not something Will loved from a distance just to understand himself and then leave behind.
He’s Will’s Mike. The one he came back to, the one he stayed with, the one he trusts with something fragile and enormous.
And the understanding settles gently but surely into Mike’s bones: this is who he wants to be. For Will. With Will.
Or, Mike confesses late. But maybe not too late.

Summary
“I—I would tell you.” He says reflexively, but he doesn’t take it back. The words are true. He hears Mike’s breath catch and his hand twitches. “I just wouldn’t want you to– to pity me. Or see me… differently.”
“I would never.” The response is instant. “You’re strong. I’d never pity you. I… god, how do I explain?” Mike turns his body to face Will head on and grabs his hand properly. Will feels a shiver run through him, but he squeezes back all the same. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry, for what you’ve been through, whatever it is. But it would never, never make me look at you differently.”
“Promise?”
“I promise."
Or: Will breaks down after the events at the MAC Z and trusts Mike to help him pick up the pieces.

Summary
“I want a sick tattoo. It’d probably piss my dad off, but now that we're 18 it doesn't matter, y’know? I was thinking of something about D&D. Like a cool dragon and a D20, or a sword because my character is a paladin—”
“I can draw it for you. On you. I mean, if you want me to.”
Now that he's older, Mike wants to get a tattoo on his side and Will offers to design it. While drawing it on his waist, the closeness pushes them over the edge and they finally indulge in each other like they'd always dreamed of.
