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
“I want everything, Mike!” Will shouts. “I don’t want to be your stress relief or your experiment. I want dates, and to hold your hand, and to know what you’re thinking without you having a fucking panic attack about it!”
Mike stared, his face a mask of stunned incomprehension. “I… I can give you those things. We’re best friends. That’s what we do.”
“No,” Will laughed, a hollow, broken sound. “No, you can't. Because you’re not in love with me, Mike. And I am. I am so stupidly, completely, pathetically in love with you that I let you destroy me piece by piece because at least you were touching me.”
Mike’s eyes unfocused, fingers twitching, and then refocused with some newfound clarity. Something passed between them that Will recognized as a decision being made, but he didn't know what.
“...Okay.”
Will blinked. “What?”
“Okay,” Mike repeated, as if it were simple. As if Will had asked him to pick up milk. “If that’s what you want. I’ll do it.”
Or, Mike Wheeler decides that fake dating his best-friend-turned-hookup is a better option than losing him.
