Summary
Mike can see the flush on Will’s skin move up his neck and onto his cheeks. His fingers twitch at his sides like they're trying to reach out and grab the sketchbook, but the rest of his body stays frozen. “I – That’s not – You don’t know that that’s you.”
Mike gives him an incredulous look. “I think I would know what my own naked body looks like, Will, and what you’ve drawn in here is definitely it. Except for this. I mean, I guess the one at the top right kind of looks like it, but the rest…No resemblance.”
“Wha –” Will starts to stutter out, but his mouth slams shut when Mike turns the sketchbook around to show Will the page of dicks. “That’s not what it looks like.”
“Yeah, I know, that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you,” Mike says, exasperated.
or, mike finds will's secret sketchbook that's filled with dirty drawings of mike. the only thing he didn't get right is mike's dick.

Summary
“Oh, come on,” Will says, struggling to keep his voice neutral in a different way. His mouth is dry, and he hates Mike for it even more. “Is this what it’s going to be like this summer?”
Mike looks back at him, considering, lips pursed in an effort to shut down the smirk that Will knows is fighting to break free. Will doesn’t dare to let his gaze catch there, focusing instead on holding Mike’s stare, because this, too, is a game.
Five years into a rivalry with bittersweet origins, the only thing Mike and Will want is to beat each other at this summer’s camp counselor competition. But being back at camp is dredging up old memories, and as Mike and Will lose momentum and gain something else entirely, it becomes increasingly clear that one summer can change everything.

Summary
I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
.Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.
Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.
It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.
But now?
Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.
It was driving Will crazy.

Summary
“But I might not know what I’m talking about - I’ve only ever had a crush on Suzie and, as we know, she’s the love of my life.”
Dustin says proudly, getting a few groans, a full set of rolled eyes and some distant gagging noises - Will can bet money it’s Max - before continuing.
“Mike, what do you think?”
Will turns to face his best friend, who very pointedly avoids his eyes.
“I-uh. You know I haven’t been in a relationship since El.”
Lucas and El exchange a look - something that Will can’t quite place - something that feels like an unspoken pact of interrogation, before scooting closer to Mike, as if cornering him.
“That wasn’t the question, Mike.”
or
Will gets sick and tired of never knowing if someone has a crush on him, so he asks for advice. Why do all the signs point to Mike?

Summary
“Never have I ever-” El stops, looking around the circle, her gaze stopping at Mike, who doesn’t break eye contact and with a fast heart lets her finish.
“-had a crush on Will.” Mike’s world turns around and he doesn’t want to look down, doesn’t want to see Will’s reaction, when Mike takes a sip of his beer.
Mike doesn’t have time to pick up the can, before he averts his eyes and his jaw drops.
Lucas, Max, Gareth and Madison are all drinking.
What?
Mike blinks a few times and picks up his own drink, slowly pressing it to his lips.
