Summary
Will starts a habit of sleeping in Mike's room.
Without a word, Mike reaches out and lightly grabs Will's jaw. He tilts his head up, down, side to side, studying every angle. There's no way he can't feel Will's pulse beating fast and hard against his hand, but either way, he doesn't comment on it.
"Hmm", sneaks out of Mike's mouth.
"Hmm?", Will can only parrot back.
Now he studies Will's eyes, trying to commit their shape and hue to memory - trying to erase memories of Will's possessed dark, clouded eyes. His Will, but not.
Will softens in his grasp and opens himself to Mike's gaze, no longer trying to steel himself from the moment, hide himself away. Just present, just here.
And something in Mike softens, too.
"There you are," Mike whispers.
This is hungry work.

Bookmarker's Notes
I love you, but I won't tell you, because saying it makes it real. Saying it might destroy me. And it might destroy you when I say it and then fail you.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I want you to be happy. Nothing more. That’s really all I ask. Please, just be happy. If you’re happy, maybe I can figure out why my heart is breaking every time I look at you. Are you happy? Say you are.”
