  Summary

  Second part to "Got My Mind Set on You".

   

  Can be read separately, but I'd suggest reading my other work first.

   

  Will and Mike are official now---at least to themselves, and as the final battle approaches, they need to fully accept what this entails for them.

   

  -

   

  Mike learns to overcome his internalized homophobia, Will finds out what it feels like to be loved, and they work on how to come out to their loved ones---together.

  Summary

  Will musters a slight turn up of his lips, “Yeah, I’m fine, I just needed a breather or something, and the weather’s not too bad.”

  Judgmentally, Mike lowers his eyes down at him, gazing in the intense way only he can, “Will, it’s like 42 fucking degrees outside and I know you hate the cold.”

  ---

  Will is trying to adjust to life with the Wheelers. Rising tensions and constant nightmares are clouding his mind, and Mike has also decided to be a permanent ache in his brain.
