Summary
And Carlton—Carlton is the perfect stand-in, Will thinks. Or at least as close as he can get without the real thing. He has it all—the black curls, the brown doe eyes framed by long lashes, the porcelain skin, even the dusting of freckles across the bridge of his nose. The affinity for ugly windbreakers. The Reeboks. And sometimes, if Will closes his eyes, he can convince himself that it’s really—that it’s him. Almost. Almost, because he knows nothing could ever replace the real thing. Not ever.

mike shows up on will’s doorstep in his rain-soaked work suit five years later and knocks will’s world off its axis.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.
