  Summary

  And Mike softened, because of course he did. It was Will, with his round eyes and soft frown, Will, who had always been the one, good thing Mike has ever had. And that thought terrified him, snaking up from his gut with awful words that had been thrown around since he was a kid. Best friend. Sure. Mike was stupid, but not that stupid. Not anymore.

  or

  Mike is not having a good week. He can't decide if being near Will makes it better or worse. It's raining. Some things are said out loud. Some aren't.
