Summary
The screaming is unusual.
Will’s nightmares rarely announce themselves like this. They usually arrive quietly, in the form of a locked jaw, trembling limbs, a desperate, instinctive commitment to silence. His fear is usually swallowed and choked back, even in slumber.
———————
Or, Will starts screaming in the night. Of course, Mike is there to comfort and protect him. But that’s just friendship… right?
———————
This is my love letter to Byler. Who in my heart end up together no matter what. It’s an exploration of genuine emotion, care, shared trauma and love in a friendship and how that can develop into something more. Something they’ve both waited a long time for.

Summary
After Will is injured in the battle at the MAC Z, secrets he’s fought to bury begin to surface, threatening to unravel him. As Mike helps him recover, he notices that Will is hiding something, while Will realizes that Mike has been acting strangely and keeping things from him as well. Through tending to Will’s wounds and sharing a much-needed heart-to-heart, they begin to uncover each other’s vulnerabilities and strengthen the bond between them.
And a possible love confession finally breaks out of someone.
or
Mike desperately wants to care for Will, but Will keeps shutting him out—terrified of what Mike might discover about one of his darkest, most shameful secrets if he lets him get too close.
