Summary
“I need like– actionable steps. ‘Act normal’ is too vague.”
Will sighs and reaches over to turn the radio down even quieter.
“Ok for one, stop staring at my mouth,” Will says.
Mike glances over at him automatically.
Will laughs. “See? That’s exactly what I mean. You’ve been doing it for years, but now it’s like…it’s a lot, Mike. People are gonna notice.”
“But I wanna kiss you,” Mike whines.
It’s been a week since Mike and Will got together – one blissful week, like a honeymoon before the wedding. Now they’re in Montauk for Joyce and Hopper’s, surrounded by friends and family, and trying to fly under the radar. Somewhere along the way, Mike realizes he doesn’t want to hide anymore.
Or, two horny idiots in love struggle to keep their relationship hidden.

Summary
In which Mike follows Will to New York University for completely normal and emotionally healthy reasons, and then they try drinking together for the first time and Mike realizes pretty quickly that there were other latent feelings involved in his decision. Featuring truly Gen X levels of casual alcohol use, cranky hours at the Met, laundry in a haunted basement, a Psychedelic Furs concert, the gang reuniting for a party at Jonathan’s apartment, one scary incident reflecting the grittier realities of late 80s NYC, love confessions obviously, and rather a lot of hickeys. (And they were roommates!)

Summary
Stars burst to life behind his eyes, and his whole body follows, coming into tune. It’s like when you have to shake the static from the TV – yeah, that’s what it feels like – and the picture sharpens into focus.
He feels so here. So now.
“Whoa,” Mike breathes, realizing distantly that he’s smiling.
Going into their last year of college, Mike feels like the only one in the Party who hasn’t fully figured things out – it's like everyone else knows how to be a person, and he’s just been faking it this whole time. Will helps him feel a little more normal.
Or: Mike and Will stumble into a fwb arrangement, and the inevitable happens. Duh!
