mike crying without even realizing it because he’s so overwhelmed by the intimacy and the longing and the sheer depth of what he feels for Will, even though he still doesn’t have the right words for it, is so important to me

chapter 13 ~ chapter 14
i can’t get over Will saying “stupid, so stupid” while deciding to let Mike kiss him, allowing himself to finally have that, like he was surrendering, letting the walls he’d been building up for years crumble
‘It’s not a real kiss, just a touch, sweet and short and innocent like something a child would do.
Like maybe this is what it would have been like to be kissed by Will when they were younger.
Something about it makes Mike want to cry.’
