    Summary

    A post-canon (with some small tweaks) road trip full of tension, nightmares, gay panic, and a very long drive toward the truth.

    *

    Will just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn’t plan on sharing motel beds, surviving Mike Wheeler’s jealousy spiral, or confronting feelings he’s spent years burying.

    Mike thinks Will likes girls.
    Will thinks Mike will never love him back.
    Both of them are wrong.

    Or

    Water dripped from Will's hair, ran down his jaw, caught on his lips.

    Mike stared at it.

    Stared like he'd forgotten where he was.

    Then, slowly he lifted a towel and pressed it gently to Will's mouth, wiping the water away. His hand didn't even shake. He was steady. 

    Will's breath stuttered. Tingles tremored all the way up his spine.

    He didn't move. He couldn't. He was too aware of Mike's hand, of the way his eyes kept dropping back to his lips.

    That look again.

    The one Will had seen a dozen times now and never understood.

    Summary

    It starts with a documentary about Area 51 that neither of them is really watching. It begins with Will fighting sleep, dark circles under his eyes, and Mike doing something stupid—offering his lap as a pillow.

    It ends with Mike's hands in Will's hair, Will's face pressed against his stomach, and the sudden, terrifying realization that this isn't just friendship. It never was.

    Or: Mike Wheeler has an emotional crisis while his best friend sleeps on his lap, and discovers that being in love is equal parts heaven and hell.

    Summary

    If Mike were to be questioned about what happened earlier, he would say that he didn’t mean for it to happen at all.

    And, like, yeah, he’s not lying or anything. He really wasn’t planning on kissing his best friend straight on the mouth in a valiant attempt to shut him up, but saying that he didn’t mean for it to happen implies that it was a mistake, accidental, unthinking, even; and that’s–well–that’s not strictly true, either.

    Summary

    "I was expecting to see you down a different aisle."

    "Ah, yes." Shouto nods. Far too casual and composed given the current situation. He leans forwards, voice a conspiratorial whisper. “I don’t think they do weddings here...”

    No force on earth will stop them from getting married.
