Summary
"Does he speak?" Will asked, his eyes lost in the pool's clear, cool water. His right leg swung, making small waves against his skin, and his eyes never met Mike's. He was giving him the cold shoulder; in fact, his body was giving him the visual of his back, but Mike could see it all.
He could see the turmoil growing on his body because, just like him, he was feeling the tension they had built up over the past couple of days. Those warm touches on the skin, the secret shared looks, and the usage of a flirtatious tone any time they had a chance.
"Better to speak, she says…" Mike whispers, playing with the book in his hands. The same book his mother read to him just a day before."But she's on her guard, she senses a trap somewhere."
Will stays silent, because he knew the insinuation of Mike's words, a quiet call out of their behavior recently. Obviously not ready to have this conversation.
"So… Does he speak?" William slowly let the words out, with a slight hope in his tone.

Summary
“Is this weird?”
Will frowns. “What?”
“I don’t know, I’m just— every time we—” he stops when Will pulls his hand away by his wrist and resumes dabbing his lip. He doesn’t think twice when he brings the tissue to his mouth to make use of his own saliva, and Mike doesn’t question him either. “I can’t be normal around you anymore.”
Will delicately cleans him up, eyes calm and steady, voice comfortably quiet. “I’m not asking you to be.”
Or: In the November morning light, everything has changed. Mike and Will try to figure out who they really are, what they really want, and how much they really need each other before they lose their minds—but, if they’re honest, that might just be the fun part.
