Summary
“I’ve actually come here a lot recently.” Mike wants to talk about why. He knows he should. But at the same time, Mike isn’t used to this stuff. Talking about how he feels, how he felt. Will’s the only person he’s ever really opened up to. Will would confess something to Mike, Mike would return the favor, and they’d sit together in shared feelings with a deeper understanding of each other. But Will hasn’t needed or wanted Mike in a long time.
or, Mike Wheeler no longer wants to die.

Summary
Every time he tries to write a letter or pick up the phone to call him, Mike thinks of when Will was in California and all the words left unsaid between them. How Mike could barely talk to El, forget about Will. How El mentioned that Will was painting for a girl… no, a crush. How that painting is still on his wall, Mike as a paladin, front and center. Mike as the heart. Will’s heart.
Glimpses into Mike Wheeler’s life post-graduation.
Or
I tried to make a fic where Mike comes to terms with his feelings for Will but is too late and ends up sad and alone. Then I started feeling bad for Mike so he ends up happy and (only romantically) alone instead.
