Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
Here's the thing. If you pulled out the American-English dictionary; hidden somewhere under Mike’s bed, and asked him to describe himself with one hundred different words, brave would be the last one on his list.
But their knees are touching, and Mike is suddenly lightly grasping Will’s wrists, holding him, and Mike can’t even see Will’s eyes in this stupidly dark coat closet, but Mike's eyes have adjusted well enough to see the twinge of color on his cheeks, the intent anticipation of his jaw. So Mike does something he wouldn’t.
He’s brave about it.“If I,” Mike licks his lips, voice low like he doesn’t want to scare Will off. Will doesn’t take his eyes off him, “If I wanted to kiss you on purpose this time, would you let me?”
Mike and Will accidentally kiss while folding laundry together. Mike is feeling less than normal about it.

Summary
“Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”
Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.
“I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.
According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.
