Summary
Will’s been honest with Mike, has laid his heart out for him even though he expected Mike to reject it. It’s only fair that Mike does the same. Maybe he’ll never be as brave as Will is, but he can at least give him that, a small act of penance.
or, a very short radio tower scene fix-it, in which mike still waits on the platform to talk to will, but this time he actually says how he feels, feat. lots of tears (the happy kind), unfettered honesty (for once), and mike gazing romantically out over the upside down, pondering and reflecting like the consumptive poet he is in my heart

Summary
“Mike?” He doesn’t even mean to ask. “What are you doing?”
There’s a long exhale behind him and then he hears a breath hitch.
“It’s my problem and you told me to deal with it,” Mike breathes. “So, I’m dealing with it.” Will wishes so badly he had something to physically throw at him. But he doesn’t, so he remains frozen there with his eyes closed and his nails digging into the palms of his hands. “That’s what you said, isn’t it?”
Mike seriously needs therapy, he thinks.
“I’m going to kick your ass if your hand’s on your dick right now,” Will protests, although nothing about his tone is even the slightest bit threatening.
“You’ll have to turn around to find out.”
or
Will and Mike are college roommates and Will slowly finds out Mike's been keeping a not-so-little secret from him that may, or may not, change their dynamic entirely.

Summary
“And I guess… I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m sorry,” Mike says, and he scoots closer to Will, knee brushing against Will’s own. “I’m sorry that I let you deal with all this shit alone, and I’m sorry I didn’t see what was happening or what I was doing, and I’m sorry I hurt you, Will. But… but most of all…
Will’s heart pounds, and he waits with nervous anticipation, hanging onto Mike’s every word. “I’m sorry I was too late,” Mike whispers, tears welling in his eyes. “That… that I was too late for us.”
Or:
The one in which Will and Mike fall apart before they fall back together.

Summary
“Wait, an- artsy guy from L.A.,” Mike repeats, frowning, “as in-”
Down the hall, the door to Debbie’s office swings open, and Mike’s mouth drops open. “Oh,” he groans, “you have got to be kidding me.”
Will does not look any more pleased to see him than Mike is. “Oh,” he says stiffly, as Debbie’s office door clicks shut behind him. “You again.”
“Nice to see you too,” Mike replies, and Will’s face drops into a scowl.
Exes, rivalries, and far too much mistletoe. What could possibly go wrong?
