Summary
Pretend to be engaged. For three months. To Mike. The boy who lives in the room across from his, who uses his shampoo when he runs out of his own disgusting 3-in-1, who sings along extremely off-key to Bronski Beat while doing laundry, whose face is doused in freckles like tiny stars, whose eyes are dark and deep enough to drown in, whose voice goes honey-warm and soft whenever he speaks to Will alone. The boy he’s been in love with since he was five years old. The boy who rejected him five years ago.
Will pitches forward and vomits again.
————————————————————————
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have been best friends ever since their mothers landed the lead roles in America’s most popular prestige crime drama seventeen years ago. Nearly two decades later, after a massive PR misunderstanding threatens their mothers’ new lesbian film (and their Oscar campaigns), the boys are forced to fake an engagement for the entire three-month press run to save the movie’s reputation. There’s only two problems: Will has been in love with Mike for seventeen years, and Mike is straight… right?

Summary
What happens when you accidentally overhear your best friend getting banged left and right? Naturally, if you're Mike Wheeler, you jerk off to it.
Or
Mike Wheeler realizes he's mega-attracted to William Byers, his best friend of fifteen years. They live in a shoebox apartment in NYC, where he can hear every thrust and moan through the cardboard walls. Mike runs to Max, who helps him to devise a plan to get into Will's pants. If he doesn't manage to do it by the end of a ten-day period, he forfeits his love, pride, and a lump sum of money. Mike is incredibly awkward, but he's a stubborn man with a journal and a dream. Will he secure Will's affection, or will he be relegated to the cuck chair for all of time and eternity? Only time will tell.
