Summary
“I—I would tell you.” He says reflexively, but he doesn’t take it back. The words are true. He hears Mike’s breath catch and his hand twitches. “I just wouldn’t want you to– to pity me. Or see me… differently.”
“I would never.” The response is instant. “You’re strong. I’d never pity you. I… god, how do I explain?” Mike turns his body to face Will head on and grabs his hand properly. Will feels a shiver run through him, but he squeezes back all the same. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry, for what you’ve been through, whatever it is. But it would never, never make me look at you differently.”
“Promise?”
“I promise."
Or: Will breaks down after the events at the MAC Z and trusts Mike to help him pick up the pieces.

Summary
The first real challenge of the day pretending to be Jane didn’t come until third period Biology, which she shared with Max. Will knew they had the class together, but of course he still jumped when she plopped down beside him at the lab table.
“Dude,” she said without preamble, “your brother is acting weird.”
And of course, Will was so caught off guard in the moment that, “Jonathan?” slipped out of his mouth before he could think better of it, and. Okay. That wasn’t technically wrong to say, necessarily, but it was definitely a weird jump for Jane to make, especially considering Jon didn’t even live in the state anymore.
Max gave him a weird look. “What? No, I mean Will. Did you hit your head too, what’s wrong with you two?”
--------
In which Jane convinces Will they need to switch bodies for a day, Will has a bad time, and Mike is just really fucking confused.

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.
