    Summary

    “What is it, brother?” Jordie’s voice says, but it doesn’t come from his decaying mouth. “Are you afraid?”
    “You’re a monster,” Kaz whispers, his voice breaking.
    “No, little brother,” Jordie says, pity coating his tone, “you’re the monster. I’m only a reflection.”

    (A graphic description of Kaz’s nightmare. Inej takes care of him in the ways she’s allowed.)

    Summary

    The fact that Mike is single now isn’t relevant. It can’t be relevant. Another girl will come along, and it won’t be Will because he doesn’t have the right parts. Wasn’t born the right way, the way that Mike would have preferred. It’s fine, except for the fact that it’s not fine at all, except for the fact that it’s so not fine that Will’s life is in imminent danger due to how fucked up he is over it.

    But boys don’t cry, according to The Cure, so Will won’t either. He’s trying to take it to heart.

    will & mike listen to music and talk. really talk.

    -or-

    Mike has been struggling and Will is there to help.

    Summary

    ‘Stop.’ Will forced out, shaking his head in disbelief, hurt painting his features ‘Mike, that’s not funny. It’s mean.’
    He thought he was joking. Mike was throwing his bleeding heart onto his floor, and he thought it was some sort of a prank.
    Fuck.
    ‘You really think I would joke about it?’ his voice sounded like it came from far away, weak and broken. His hand twitched, yearning to touch Will, to take his hand, to brush his fingertips against his warm skin for just one second even if that was all he could ever get.

    Summary

    “Everything's going to be fine, please don't freak out.” Nancy starts to say, which causes Will’s eyes to widen.

    “That’s…not really reassuring, you know that right?”

    Nancy huffs a laugh, “Yeah, it isn’t, sorry.” He hears shifting through the receiver, and he thinks maybe that's all she's planned to say.

    “Mike’s in the hospital.”

    Will sucks in an involuntary breath, letting the air back out, shaky. He nods repetitively, a little numb as he tries to process, before realizing Nancy can’t see him.

    “Okay.” He aims for level but his voice cracks mid-way. He’s almost whispering, “Is- he okay?”

    Mike's in the hospital, which kickstarts a drive to Boston and a worried Will as he thinks about Mike, the past, and love, all while conveniently held up by New York traffic.
