Summary
This summer had been hard on Mike Wheeler.
As in... 'Hard'.
Apart from the cloying heat that seemed to permeate his lungs and stick to every inch of his skin, he had suddenly begun to notice things about his best friend that he wasn't sure were normal.
In fact he knew they weren't.
----------------------------
Set in the summer of 1989 after graduation, when Mike starts looking at Will with different eyes than before... and has a very 'hard' time concentrating on anything else.

Summary
For their senior year spring break, the Party sets sail on a 7-day cruise to celebrate the next chapter of their lives. Not much has changed since their last reunion, as long as you don't count Mike and Will breaking up two years ago, which fractured the group permanently and made it so neither of them could stand to be within ten feet of each other.
It'll be a trip they never forget - that much Will is sure of.
