    Summary

    He slid his free hand, sticky with fruit blood, up the column of Will’s neck. He gripped it. It was tighter than a friend should grip. It was possessive. He wrapped his fingers around Will’s throat, his thumb pressing into the pulse point.

     

    The eye contact was insane. It was a physical tether.

     

    "You want…" Mike’s voice was a wreck. A rasp. "… a strawberry?"

     

    The tension in the room was high enough to shatter glass. And then, Will let out a wet, breathless chuckle.

     

    "You’re an idiot," Will breathed.

    The dream always starts the same way: with the weight of steel and the rustle of silk. In his sleep, Mike is a Paladin and Will is his light. In reality, Mike is an almost divorced academic from Indiana and Will is a cynical artist with wine stains on his chin and a cigarette between his lips. A weekend in the city was supposed to be a goodbye to the past. Instead, it becomes a messy, strawberry-sweet surrender to a hunger that seven years couldn't starve.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.
