Summary
“You’ve really never?” Will asks, finally pulling a box of matches out of his pocket, not the lighter Mike had been expecting. He tips the box of Marlboros out towards Mike again, and this time, he takes one, trying to pretend like the subtle weight of it is not as foreign in his hand as it feels. “Not even once?”
“No,” Mike says, trying to figure out whether he should be getting defensive or not. “Why? Is it that hard to believe?”
“I just figured, you know, it’s easier to bum a smoke off of somebody than it is to get your hands on some booze,” Will says thoughtfully. He tucks the cigarettes back into his pocket and plants both hands on the stack of hay behind him, taking a careful step onto the bale already resting by their feet — and then, when it holds his weight, he hoists himself up, legs swinging. “And you’ve done that, so.”
Will sneaks out for a smoke break. Mike decides to join him.

“It’s an unfamiliar feeling, to be touched like someone wants him, to be kissed like someone wants him.”

Summary
"How could you use my own commitment issues against me like that?" The two keep dancing, Mike's hands resting on Will's waist and Will's arms placed over Mike's shoulders, staying close to keep up the act for his admirer.
"Maybe it's a sign you should actually work on them," Will chides. "You're gonna run out of people in the city if you keep going like this – I'm surprised you haven't propositioned me yet." Mike knows it's supposed to be a joke, but there's something in Will's voice that makes him think again.
When Mike doesn't respond, Will asks, "Why haven't you?" He wishes he could see the expression on Will's face right now. The question has always had a clear answer, but he doesn't know why it's making him pause now. He shakes himself out of it.
"I actually like having you in my life."
Mike realizes he's in love with Will. Will asks Mike to be the best man in his wedding. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Mike wasn’t coming after him this time. This whole thing was Mike’s fault in the first place, and Will didn’t want to see him, he made that clear. He did want Mike to notice, though. He wanted Mike to be standing inside the arcade, staring at the front door, itching to come outside and talk to him. He wanted Mike to get a shit score at Dig Dug because he was distracted wondering where Will had gone.
It was kind of like the View-Master feeling, being stuck between resenting Mike so much and wanting him back so desperately. Sometimes, there would be a glitch, and the facade he carefully constructed would disappear, revealing the cold, harsh truth. I still love him.

Summary
"Mike." He can't help when his mouth falls into a wide grin, Will smiles back, small but there.
"I'm glad you know my name."
Will pushes at his shoulder, so gently that Mike doesn't really move at all, but when Will's hand stays Mike blinks at the boy opposite and nods at him to continue his line of thought.
OR: Will and Mike get a moment alone, an intense one.

“I’m just saying if you make it creative enough maybe he’ll–”
“Holly you have never been in a relationship, I don’t think I should be taking advice from–”
“I’ve been in a relationship before!”
“Thomas does not count and you know it. Don’t–”
“Mike?”
Both Mike and Holly freeze, slowly turning in unison to look at the worker behind the counter. Mike doesn’t even need to look at Holly to know she recognized the voice as quickly as he did.
