Summary
“Remember that time I saved your life?” He means it as a joke, but it comes out soft, an opening for all the feelings he’s been keeping in through the years to come out of. All the things he’s wanted to say but felt like he couldn’t.
Mike looks over to him with a small smile and a nod. “I never did thank you for that, did I? Thank you, Will. Seriously.”
“You don’t have to thank me. It was because of you that I could even do it.” Will looks away for a second, his heart is racing suddenly like he shouldn’t say what he wants to. But he needs to. He needs to let it out. He looks back into Mike’s eyes.
“When you were about to be attacked… I didn't know what to do. It was the first time I really felt like I was going to lose you. I froze, I was just so scared, but then I just… I thought about this, being here, meeting you… becoming your friend. It gave me the strength to fight back.”
or:
On the night of their graduation, Mike and Will leave the party early and end up on the swing set where they met. One confession becomes many as they finally talk about everything they’ve been through, and everything they’ve been keeping inside.
