    Summary

    It’s February 14th. Will has a thoughtful, hand-painted gift. Mike has a thesis deadline, a caffeine addiction, and a single can of chickpeas.

    Facing the prospect of being the Worst Boyfriend in History, Mike decides there is only one viable option to keep Will from handing over that present: Distract him. Aggressively.

    (Or: Mike invents a fake holiday to cover his tracks, things get messy in the kitchen, and eventually, the calendar stops mattering.)

    Summary

    Will winces, and he finally manages to look back up, meeting the man’s eyes. “Rough first date?” he guesses. 

    The stupidly gorgeous guy groans, burying his head in his hands. “Was it that obvious?” he asks pitifully. “I’ve been trying to escape all night. Marianne is insane. I’m actually scared.”

    Or:

    Five times Will witnesses Mike on a failed first date, plus one time Will and Mike go on a first date.

    Summary

    “I panicked, Max. Like, full-body—couldn't breathe." 

    "Maybe you just need to find someone who can pay attention to you," Max tells him. "Someone who would notice if you were about to freak out, or something."

    They're not talking about Mike, obviously, even though he'd be so good at that job.

     

    OR

    Mike overhears Will talking about a failed bondage attempt with his boyfriend. Mike becomes obsessed with the idea that he could do better.
