Summary
“I just… I want to be able to take you somewhere, alright? Then we'll go for a drive, and I have something else planned.” He hesitates for half a second. Then, softer, “let me take care of my wife.”
Will makes a small, startled sound, and then he’s laughing, hiccupping a bit from the force of it. “Your what?” Will manages, breathless, grinning despite himself.
Behind him, Mike’s smiling, he can feel it, the way it presses warm and bright into his shoulder. “My wife,” Mike repeats, even though he's tensing a little like he's nervous Will is going to turn him down.
or, It's Will's birthday and Mike's planned the whole day for him, like a good boyfriend should. Will's a lot more focused on the fact that Mike keeps referring to him as his wife, though.

Summary
He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, swallowing hard. He knows he’s not just some replacement. He’s not a second Max any more than Dustin is a second Mike. That’s stupid. He knows that.
He’s his own person. Him and Max couldn’t be more different if they tried.
But… Max was Lucas’ first love.
The first person he ever kissed. The girl he used to talk about like she was everything, like she was forever, the one he thought he was going to marry when they were just kids, when everything felt simple and permanent.
And, on the other side, Mike had Jane. His first kiss too, his first everything, in a way that stuck.
Will’s chest tightens.
Did Lucas feel that way about Max, the way Mike feels about Jane?
Something deep and steady and impossible to shake?
or, Will and Lucas are on a break. Will's worried that Lucas doesn't really want him, but Lucas is desperate to get his (ex) boyfriend back. Meanwhile, Mike has some letting go to do.

Summary
“Does- does your mom know?” Mike asks, quieter now. Will shakes his head. Mike’s throat tightens. “I think my mom’s gonna call her,” he murmurs, even though he’s not totally sure. It feels like something she would do. Mike kind of wants her to, too.
Will curls in tighter at that, like the words themselves hurt. “Dad’s gonna get mad again,” he whispers. “I don’t want him to get mad.”
Mike’s nose scrunches up, his eyes burning. It feels like crying, but different. Hotter, sharper, like it’s trying to claw its way out of him instead of spill. “He hurts you,” Mike spits, voice wobbling despite how hard he tries to keep it steady. “He shouldn’t do that. That’s- that's not allowed. That’s bad.”
or, miwi werehere. Mike just wants Will to be safe, and the safest place he can think of is his den.

Summary
“Have you,” Mike starts, but his voice breaks halfway through. He swallows hard, loud enough for Will to hear, and then he tries again. “Have you seen the news?”
Will's heart lurches, and he can feel how his shoulders slump. Of course he’s seen it.
It’s everywhere, on every channel, every headline. Every glowing marquee in the city. People crying in the streets, strangers kissing, rainbow flags hanging from fire escapes. New York is alive tonight in a way it’s never been before. He's been staring out his window, a little in fear, and a little in a kind of freedom that he's never gotten before.
“Yeah,” Will whispers. “I saw.”
or, YAY!!! Gay marriage is now legal in the place they grew up. Mike calls Will the second he hears, and they reconnect.

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.
