Summary
Mike is desperately trying to push down his newfound feelings for his best friend.
It's not working, and the swimming pool is NOT helping.
-----
The ball comes faster than he expects. Mike reaches up, fingers skimming rubber, and immediately loses control of it. It bonks off his hands, rebounds off his shoulder, and in his attempt to recover he stumbles backward—Right into Will.
Will lets out a surprised laugh as Mike lands against his chest, water sloshing up around them. Mike freezes, every nerve in his body lighting up at once. Will’s hands come up automatically, steadying him by the arms, trying to push him upright again.
“You good?” Will asks, still laughing, breath warm against the back of Mike’s neck.
Mike’s skin feels like it’s on fire. Will’s chest is solid and warm against his back, their bodies pressed close in a way that is absolutely not helping anything. Mike scrambles for footing, face burning, heart threatening to burst straight out of him.
“Yeah—yeah,” he says quickly, pushing himself forward and away before his brain completely abandons him.

Summary
"Will," Henry sighs, "I helped destroy the neural lattice of an entire dimension. I’m not solving for X."
"Wow. So you can annihilate timelines, but Algebra II’s where you draw the line?"
"Frankly, it’s beneath me."
"Yeah? You say that, but I bet you don’t even know what a logarithm is."
Henry’s quiet for a beat. And then—
"…What is a logarithm?"Will laughs under his breath before he can stop it. The kid next to him gives him a weird look. Will pretends to cough and returns to staring at the graph paper like it personally offended him.

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.
