Summary
Mike and Will are not completely new to intimacy. They show each other affection constantly. Be it holding hands, bumping knees, kissing, compliments, pet names, leaving hickeys.
But that's where it stops.
They've talked about sex, discussed their feelings on it, agreed that they want to do it together, whenever they're both ready for it. And for a while, that was it.
It never came up again, and they both felt content with it. Maybe it'll come naturally, work out, like things usually do with the two of them.
Only lately something has shifted. Neither of them is sure when and how it happened, but things have started to heat up.
OR:
Mike and Will exploring more intimate parts of their relationship in their little New York apartment.

Summary
Will answers faintly, “I love you, too. So much.” And it feels like a prayer, like a soft-shelled wish falling from his lips that was never meant to exist in the real world.
This is the future where Will finds everything that he ever wished for. It’s still not easy.

Summary
The boy turns around, and Mike thinks he must be seeing things. Ghosts, maybe, because that would be the only rational explanation.
All he can do is stare directly at the boy standing before him.

Summary
SHOW ME.
Will looks up from the notepad, eyes wide and blown. “Show you?”
Mike nods, small but undeniably firm. Dead fucking serious.
“Mike, you—” Will takes a quick breath to try to recalibrate his false confidence. His voice drops, feathery and intentional. “You want me to show you what a guy’s mouth feels like?”
or
Mike takes a 7-day vow of silence to win a bet. Will does everything in his power to make him break it.
