Summary
Mike says, “Hey, uh, any government agents who are tapping this call, we’re about to talk about something, uh, kind of sexy. We promise it doesn’t have anything to do with other dimensions or secret government experiments, or anything, if you want to, like, go grab a coffee, or something.”
“We are?” Will asks, and his voice cracks, just a little, along the last word.

Summary
“Did you think I’d have a problem with that?” Mike had retorted, even though he knew.
“That’s not what I said– I just know you two haven’t really talked. I know he transferred. I don’t know if those two are related, because both of you are freaks and won’t talk about it with anyone. But I’m not an idiot, Mike,” Dustin had responded, making Mike promise that he’d be on his best behavior, to which Mike swore there was nothing to worry about, before hanging up and feeling a pit in his stomach he didn’t know what to do with.
It's 1994, and Mike has a wedding to attend.

Summary
Will’s expression smoothes out then, and he’s looking at Mike in consideration, like he sees him in all the ways Mike does not want to be seen.
“You were jealous,” Will offers it like it’s a fact, simple as that, and Mike nearly doubles over with the shock of it, an immediate blow to whatever unbothered facade he’d been attempting to put on for Will.
“Was not,” but his voice is so weak that he nearly collapses in embarrassment, an omission of guilt clear as day.
Mike is in love with Will. He tries very hard to love him quietly.

Summary
"Why do you keep saying that?"
"Saying what?"
"That you're a virgin," Will says forcefully, like he's in pain.
"Because...I am?"
"No, Mike. You're not."
Everything changes at Stacey's party between Mike and Will, who share more than just a first kiss. But by morning, Mike has forgotten their special night. Will, thinking Mike is taking the easy route and pretending their night hadn't happened, moves to New York and packs his forever crush in hopes he can move on. But the boxed up feelings twist and turn into hate toward his former best friend and he vows never to speak to him again.
Mike can't remember Stacey's party for the life of him. But he does remember one thing: telling Will how he truly feels. But now Will has left town and Mike is left to believe it's because his feelings aren't reciprocated.
