    Summary

    "Leaving the faintest of hints behind had been precisely the solution he’d needed. The sane, healthy, considerate thing would have been to leave Oliver well enough alone after each resolute refusal he’d received in return for his begging to let the truth come out; to let him be free, at last, in every sense imaginable. He could have been free to grieve and rage and let go; could have tried to pick up the pieces of his life and attempt to move on and be loved for the effort of it.

    He could have, if James had let him."

    (After being reunited, Oliver and James find their way around each other once again.)

    Summary

    Mike has been to New York exactly three times before this.
    Once, when he was nineteen, tagging along on a trip Nancy paid for because she felt guilty about leaving him behind. Once in his late twenties, for a conference his boss swore would open doors, and instead just reminded him how many of those doors were already closed. And once, when Will graduated from NYU, where Mike stood in the back of the crowd pretending he wasn’t memorizing the shape of Will’s smile.

    This is the first time New York feels personal.

    Summary

    Sure, Chance was an asshole, had bothered Will’s friends far more times than he could remember, he would probably always be a jerk. But now Will knew something else about him, related to him in some way. He knew what it was like to be… different. That type of different.

    And Will was nothing but empathetic. One of his biggest flaws, though Mike once had said it was a strength. Will wasn’t so sure anymore.

    He drew a small breath, blinking slowly. “Yeah… I get it.” Will shrugged.

    Chance raised his head, locking eyes with Will for a brief second. A noise of acknowledgement came from the back of his throat despite not a single word being said. A silent understanding passed through them, Will could see himself reflected in Chance. As crazy as that sounded. After all, they were totally different, complete strangers, a nerd and a jock.

    Who would’ve thought.
