Summary
"Make that two, please," a voice interjected beside him—two fingers in his peripherals. The bartender nodded, walking off to grab the beers from the cooler.
Will turned his head, arms still planted on the bar—and he nearly stopped breathing.
It felt like one of those shitty rom-coms he'd watched came to life, and he was somehow starring in it. His eyes widened, lips slightly parted as he tried—and failed—to process and express how he felt.
All he managed to get out was a sputtered name.
"Wha—Mike?"
"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Summary
Max hums, “Just say hi, Mike. It’s just Will. He’ll be happy to see you.”
“Just Will.”
"Mhm," Max grins, “despite the new look, he’s the same boy.”
Mike shivers, “And the other one?” he knows he ought to hide his grimace. To pretend to be happy for Will. Who did he think he was to be bitter about his friend finally finding love? That’s exactly what he needed to stop being: bitter. But he can’t help it. Mike has been nothing but bitter for the past four years, and now, this is not helping. Not helping at all.
“That’s Carlton!” Max says, looking at Will, her eyes sparkling, “I’m so happy for Will.”
“Uh-huh,” Mike says, looking at them. Now Carlton’s whispering something into Will’s ears. And it feels like he shouldn’t be seeing any of this. It’s such an intimate moment. The way Will gasps and shivers, the glimmer in his eyes, the way Carlton smirks. He smirks. He is smirking. What is wrong with him?
or
Mike sees Will with a boyfriend at Lumax's wedding, and he realizes he messed up badly. So he decides it's time to get Will back.
(then they get freaky lol)
(and yes, Will folds for Mike immediately because, of course, he does!)Bookmarked by lizasturned

Summary
Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.
The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.
He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
On the page, the name stares back at him.Will the Wise.
