Summary
Will's been pining after Mike for as long as he can remember. When Mike and El break up, he figures he might have a chance. That and maybe the shared glances, lingering touches, and the unsent letters he found wedged in Mike's drawers. Seeing him far away was one thing, but actually living with Mike seemed to take ahold of Will's rationality and with the added help from the letters, Will can't help but make advances. Will Mike return his efforts, or will he draw the line between friendship and something more?
my take on what happened during the 18-month gap and mwwtfdydgate :).

He breaks off into a run.
