    Summary

    Mike and will drunkenly sleep together after Stacy’s party.

    — or —

    He’d thought he was over Mike. He’d told himself he was. He’d accepted that Mike would never feel the same way. Mike wasn’t like him. Untouchable. Unavailable. A dead end. He’d made peace with that over 18 months ago when the world was ending.

    But now Mike was here. And he was touching him. Looking at him like this. Like he wanted him.

    And Will was too drunk, too raw, too undone to shove the feelings back down where they belonged.

    Summary

    ....are you sure it was just a crush? ." Mike was speaking again, hesitantly, and he looked like he was asking the most horrifying thing his brain will allow.

    Will felt a jolt, deep in his soul. He turned away and closed his eyes quickly to bite back some of the pain in his heart.

    "Yeah I'm sure. It was nothing Mike, just a stupid coming of age crush - gone before it even had time to leave a mark." He swallowed, hoping Mike wouldn't hear the wobble in his voice.

    Mike was still standing, frozen on the stairs so Will forced himself to half turn back again as he started to walk up. "Seriously Mike, don't even think about it any more, I don't."

    And he walked out of the basement door into the hallway to join the others.

    Mike was left on the stairs. Hope dead in his eyes. A single tear begging to be released. His heart aching in his chest. He was too late.

    *AGED UP CHARACTERS - EVERYONE IS OVER 18*
    Set in the 18 month time skip between the final battle and graduation. Mostly from Mike's POV
    Kinda slow burn, Mike's crushing realisation that he is in love with Will, followed by months of angst and miscommunication. Eventual smut and a whole lot of fluff.
