    Summary

    “It’s just…when you went missing, I promised I would never let anything bad happen to you again.” Finally, he lifts his eyes to meet Will’s, and they’re a watery shade of brown. “And then I was the bad thing, over and over.”

    The thought of twelve-year-old Mike making such an impossible promise makes his chest ache to the point where he worries something might shatter if he doesn’t remain strong enough to hold the pieces together. Will reaches out to touch Mike’s hand, tentative against where they’re tangled in the blanket. “Why are you bringing all of this up, Mike? Did something happen? Are you and El…,” he trails off, not allowing himself to even finish the question.

    “No, nothing happened. And me and El, I mean, we’re fine. We’re always…fine,” Mike says, a breath of laughter escaping with it, which confuses Will even more. “But earlier, what Max and El said, it got me thinking. About how this battle with the Titans is getting closer and closer. And I want you to know that…being your friend, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. And although I’ve fucked up a lot, I’m going to keep my promise. I’m not letting anything else happen to you ever again. Okay?”

    Summary

    “Lucas you have to tell me —” she pats his arm vigorously— “is Mike blushing?”

    Lucas takes a moment to process this but Max can tell the moment he understands what she’s been trying to say all along when he starts patting her arm back.

    “Oh my God, he totally is,” he says, and he sounds awed, like he’s just made a world-changing discovery. “Is this what you meant?”

    “That they’re totally crushing on each other?” Screw subtlety. “Duh.”

    ---

    Or -- 5 times people agree that Will and Mike have a crush on each other + the time they discover the truth

    Summary

    “I love you,” Mike mumbles sleepily into his hair, wriggling closer. His arm winds across Will’s stomach, and Will feels the ghost of a kiss being pressed to the junction of his shoulder and neck.

    Will blinks his eyes open, warmth flooding the length of his body. He shifts, twisting around to peer up at Mike, squinting. “You- what?” he murmurs, lifting an eyebrow, and Mike jolts up, peeking over his shoulder sheepishly.

    “Oh,” he says, blushing as Will nudges his way to roll over onto his back, Mike hovering over him. “Sorry, I thought you were asleep.”

    Will stares up at him. “You were gonna say you loved me for the first time while I was asleep?”

    Mike lets out an undignified squeak, and drops his head down onto Will’s shoulder. “No.”

    A series of 'I love you's, both spoken and unspoken.
