Summary
"The secret tore apart at Mike, fighting to bubble to the surface and throw a wrench in Mike and Will’s newly repaired relationship. Yet, when Will sat a little too close to him, touched him a little too gently, or was caught gazing for a little too long, Mike could delude himself into believing that his horrifying secret may not be so terrible at all."

Summary
“Shut the fuck up.”, Will whispers because he can’t, he just can’t deal with Mike’s confusing ass right now. The soft light is illuminating Mike’s features, jaw carved out so perfectly, cheekbones high, eyes so dark Will feels like they’re swallowing him. “You are, too.”, he adds.
“Prettier than your lame boyfriend?”, Mike ask, voice somehow careful and urgent at the same time.
“Mike…” Will shivers a little, not sure what to do with himself. It’s ridiculous for Mike to actually believe Will has a boyfriend; if that were the case, he would’ve never stepped a foot into this bed. But somehow, Mike’s need to come out on top compared to the guy he is supposedly dating makes Will break out in goosebumps all over.
“That’s not a no.”, Mike remarks.
“That’s not a no.”, Will whispers, scared to move at all and break the moment.
A soft grin plays at the corner of Mike’s mouth, “Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”, Will nods, “But you knew that already.”

Summary
Then the chair next to him shifts, and before Will can even turn to see, Mike is there, extending his hand. No trace of nervousness, not even a hint—just small, genuine smile tugging at his lips as his eyes lock onto Will’s. Instinctively, Will takes Mike’s hand before a word is spoken.
“Dance with me,” Mike says softly.
“Are you—”
“Yes,” Mike interrupts, just as Will starts to protest, about how they don’t have to if he’s not comfortable. “I want to, if you want it too,” he adds.
Will smiles so wide it makes his cheeks ache for a moment. He rises from his seat, and in that instant, all the worries and nervousness from earlier dissolve. Everything heavy, everything bad, fades the second Mike’s hand is holding his.
