Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
"Like a tornado that wreak havoc on a shaky, war-torn town, the storm carried with it the footsteps of someone who she once swore she would never see again.
Someone carrying her notebook.
And the words that no one was meant to see."
(or Ellie writes. and Abby reads.)
