Summary
“Can I show you something?” Will asks, suddenly.
“Anything!” Mike responds.
“Okay, just trust me. We have to go.”
As they stand, Mike asks, “where are we going?”
“My place.” Will says as he settles his jacket over his arms.
Mike’s hand stills as he reaches for his jacket, his eyes snapping up to meet Will’s. Will’s eyes soften while holding his gaze, before gently nodding in encouragement. Mike’s lips part into a gentle smile before grabbing his jacket and standing fully to follow Will out of the diner.
-------OR-------
15 years after graduating High School, Mike and Will spend a week together in Philly while Mike is on a book tour. Full of flashbacks to their times together over the last 15 years - a first kiss, slow dances, missed opportunities, and distance. And new adventures together - an art show, D&D night, and a trip to the movies. They spend the week slowly realizing they are hopelessly in love.
Title comes from Mumford & Sons "Not with Haste"

Summary
“Did you like any of the girls there?”
“Why do you ask?”
Mike takes a breath, “Curious, I guess— I don’t know.”
He does know. It’s because his stomach churns and his heart beats fast whenever they’re in the same room. He knows, but he can’t say it out loud.
OR
Mike and Will keep each other company on the roof of the WSQK radio station. They make up for lost time.

Summary
“But Will,” Mike says slowly. “I think you were wrong. I mean— no offense. But El doesn’t need me. She never has.”
“Mike—”
“No,” Mike interrupts, feeling somewhat stressed himself. “I’m sorry. But I need to say this.”
“Okay,” Will whispers, sinking back into the couch. He trains his eyes on Mike, giving him the overwhelming intensity of his full attention. “Go ahead.”
Mike takes a deep breath. “El doesn’t need me,” he repeats. “But I needed her.”

a reimagining of the couch scene in 4x09, because my brain works in mysterious ways.
