Summary
Something happened between Mike and Will during winter break of ‘89, and they haven’t spoken in four years. When Mike moves to New York for grad school in 1993, he is finally starting to figure himself out, and he wants to fix things with Will. He has no idea where to begin, so he writes a play about it.
Will has been building a life for himself in NYC as a painter. He has a boyfriend, volunteers with an AIDS housing program, and pays his rent by acting in other people’s plays – including, as it turns out, Mike’s.
A story about the damage of being loved before you’re ready, and about trying to make your way back (with a little help along the way from your meddling older siblings).

Summary
“You’ve been a whiny brat all week, Will,” Mike fumed, his voice hushed and low. “You always get like this whenever you have a show coming up, but I’m always good. Are you going to be able to behave for me tonight? Because I need you to, Will. I need you on your best fucking behavior.”
Will stopped moving completely. The breath in his lungs froze as he stared back at Mike, whose face was resolute. A solid thirty seconds passed before he leaned in, placed his hand over Mike’s heart, and whispered in his ear.
“Make me.”
* Or *
Mike has a very important meeting. Will is sexually starved. A deadly combination when they're out in public.
