Summary
As children, their height difference had always been something that made Will’s stomach flip-flop in that familiar, weightless manner. Fluttery, before he had ever known what it meant.
Mike would never loom over him, ominous and terrifying like adults were.
Now, with a few years and a handful of growth spurts between them, the difference isn’t as obvious. If Will stood up at full length, he’d meet Mike’s eye with ease. But Will has never learned how to control himself around Mike. So he makes himself smaller, without really meaning to.
or:
Four times someone points out Will acting weird around Mike, and the one time Mike asks him about it.

Summary
“I have a what?” Mason exclaims, eyes widening dramatically as he leans forward on the couch.
Will, ever patient, lays a hand on one of the legs he’s currently kneeling between, settled on the living room rug. “A sister,” he repeats. His voice is a stark contrast to Mason’s, all gentle and calm.
“Yeah, I got that part,” Mason says, dangerously toeing the line into condescension. “What does that mean? Did you go out and adopt a kid while I was at school?”
——
Mason’s biological sister, newly entered into the foster system, comes to live with Mike and Will. Considering Mason’s jealous history with little girls, his transition into brotherhood is not bound to be pretty.

Summary
Sometimes, things feel normal again. Will's friends smile and laugh and make him feel like his world isn't crashing down around him every second of the day. He doesn't feel like a mistake. He can pretend that living with Mike Wheeler isn't eating him up from the inside out. The normal lets him breathe, lets him pretend they're not in very real danger.
Mike seems to have a habit of ruining that feeling.
It's only fair that Will let's him know what that's like.Mike is jealous Will didn't tell him about his first kiss, or his supposed 'girlfriend'. Mike is also a jealous idiot who won't let Will explain he hasn't had either of those things.
