Summary
“What I just— the conversation I just had, Mike, it sucked.” Will shakes his head, eyes blistering. “And so I don’t need this, right now, okay? I don’t need you interrogating me, or worrying about my safety or—”
“Will.”
“Can we just go?"
“Before that. Please,” Mike says. “Tammy. Is…”
He hears his own breath in the space between them.
“Is it me?”

“Well…” Will trails off. “It’s not just about how close you are. Like. There are other things that separate the three of us from you, you know.”
Mike frowns. “What do you mean?”
Will raises his eyebrows. “You’re straight, Mike.”
“Oh,” Mike says. “Right.”

Summary
Will’s eyes sting with tears, and his nose prickles with heat. He feels like he’s burning, like he’s on fire. But Mom’s right—he doesn’t have to be afraid. She knows, and she loves him, and she’s not leaving. All that’s left is the words. And he shouldn’t be scared of words. After all he’s been through, if what takes him down is the English alphabet, then the world has a really fucked up sense of humor.
He just needs to rip off the bandaid.
