Summary
He knows, it’s all his fault. He knows. But there are tears stinging in his eyes and he calls Will again, because how the hell is he supposed to figure this out on his own? He calls again, and again, and again, and again, until Will picks up.
“Mike. Let it go. It’s almost morning, you should sleep. Why can’t you do as I ask and not call me?”
Mike swallows, voice coming out as a pathetic croak, “Will. Will, I can’t lose you. I can't-” The tears that have been burning in his eyes impatiently, finally roll down his cheeks in fat, slow, drops.

Will needs time away from Mike, time to focus on college and time to get over his unrequited feelings. For the first time, Mike is not the one to push Will away and he cannot stand the feeling. He ends up calling Will, even though he asked him not to, desperate to get him back. It's not too late, is it?
inspired by "I'm Not In Love" (10cc) lyrics!!

Summary
“Wait,” Will said in a harsh, croaky voice. He felt like his brain was dribbling out of his ears and he fell onto the couch with a small poof of air as he stared at Mike in such a hard daze that it was a wonder he didn’t pass out again. “I - what do you - “
They stared at each other.
The air was thick and suddenly it was like Will could taste ozone at the back of his tongue, like electricity was coating his mouth and didn’t leave any room to breathe, to think, and his voice was wobbly, uncertain, as he said, “what do you mean… other boys?”
***
Will tells everybody about his Tammy.
Mike, of course, reacts in a totally normal way.

Summary
“Pay attention to me,” Mike whines.
“You always have my full attention, honey,” Will teases, putting his hands on Mike’s hips, avoiding where Mike wants his touch most.
Mike smacks him in the shoulder, “That’s not true. You’ve been ignoring me for days.”
“I’m not ignoring you. You know exactly what you have to say to get what you want,” Will smirks.
Mike tries grabbing Will’s hands, trying to force them where he wants them, but Will pulls them out of his grip, and sits on them.
“That’s not fair,” Mike pouts.
“Use your words,” Will commands.

Summary
Still clutching his chest, fingernails now denting his skin, Mike hears a subtle, hesitant shifting in a sleeping bag nearby. Probably in response to his not-so-quiet hyperventilation. He needs to get out of here.
No one can see him like this.
or:
Mike Wheeler has a panic attack because he is clearly repressing in volume 1. Enjoy! -
