Summary
“Why does it even matter?”
“It matters because you lied.”
“About a stupid painting?”
“It’s not stupid to me!"
“Mike! What do you want from me!” The question is desperate and so loud, it fills the entire room, knocking the fight out of them both. Will’s eyes brim with tears.
It's the last night of his trip visiting Will at NYU and Mike finds something curious in a sketchbook. Before he can face what it might mean for him, he has to find out what it meant (or means) for Will.

Summary
Steve looks between the four identical faces. “You’re not even a little curious?” he asks. “About how your other lives are going?”
“No,” Mike answers, immediate.
Too immediate.
Mike with the eyebrow ring snorts. The one in the tracksuit glances at Will again—just a flick of the eyes. The knight folds his hands behind his back and looks at the first Mike like he’s deeply disappointed.
[Or: The one where several Mikes exist simultaneously, and every single one of them is Will’s problem.]Series

Summary
Mike points between them again, eyes bright now with unmistakable fascination. “You’re literally the same person.”
“Mike.”
“That’s so—”
“Creepy,” Will finishes.
“Weird,” supplies the girl at the same time.
Mike grins. “Awesome.”
[Or: The one where Willow shows up, and everyone learns a thing or two about universal constants.]

Summary
Will’s expression smoothes out then, and he’s looking at Mike in consideration, like he sees him in all the ways Mike does not want to be seen.
“You were jealous,” Will offers it like it’s a fact, simple as that, and Mike nearly doubles over with the shock of it, an immediate blow to whatever unbothered facade he’d been attempting to put on for Will.
“Was not,” but his voice is so weak that he nearly collapses in embarrassment, an omission of guilt clear as day.
Mike is in love with Will. He tries very hard to love him quietly.
