Summary
As Mike swivels his chair around he can feel his heart rate picking up, which is totally ridiculous. This whole situation is ridiculous, he thinks, as his eyes find the reason he hasn’t been able to concentrate on his stupid essay.
Will is sitting on his bed on the other side of the room. He has his knees drawn up to his chest with an open sketchbook balanced against them, absentmindedly tapping a pencil against his lips. And he is looking at Mike.
No, not looking. Staring. Intensely.
or
Mike and Will share a dorm in college, and over the course of three days Mike has some revelations about his feelings for Will and what he really means to him.

Summary
“If I wouldn't like it. Don’t people say try it before you say you don’t like it?” Mike looks at him again; his eyebrows raised with a small grin on his face.
“Um… Yeah, I guess. Where is this coming from?” Will asks, turning his body to fully face Mike.
He shrugs.
“Just been thinking about it.”
“About kissing guys?” Will fires the question quickly, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
“No.”
Will tilts his head.
“Okay, then what were you thinking about?” Will laughs dryly, Mike pulling his lips into his mouth.
“Well… about trying it, but not like… guys.” Mikes face starts to flush.
“Okay, then what? A specific guy?” Will laughs, letting one leg stretch over the couch cushions, his other still held to his chest.
“You could say that.” Mike whispers, his eyes darting over Will’s face.

Summary
“Do you think,” Will whispers, his voice so low that it is barely audible in the little space carved between them, “it's going to last?”
Mike frowns. “What?”
“The pain of loving you.”
The words land between them like shattered glass. Mike stops breathing, his eyes taking on a haunted look. For a moment he looks like he might speak —his mouth even opens slightly— but the words never come.
Drunk out of his mind at Stacey’s party, Will is forced to confront the truth he’s been running from: Mike is not his Tammy. Only this time, Mike is there to deal with the aftermath.

Summary
Mike hates Valentine’s Day. It was fun as kids, when teachers would make every student decorate a little shoe box with pink and red heart stickers, that by the end of the day would be filled with cheesy Valentines and sweets.
But this isn’t kindergarten anymore— there are no school-enforced rules that his classmates have to give him a Valentine. He has to earn them. And he hasn’t.
———
Mike is (not) upset that he’s the only one of his friends that hasn’t received a Valentine. That is, until something just so happens to fall out of his locker the next day.
