Summary
Maybe Mike would’ve felt brave for once and held Will’s hand. Maybe, Will wouldn’t have minded. Maybe then, he’d ask to go somewhere else, a broom closet or something, and maybe in there, Mike would have had the guts to spill everything out. Tell Will how much he cared for him, how he was the most important thing in Mike’s life, how he would rather his dad die a thousand times over than Will leave him. Tell Will just how much he lov-
Ding!
His coffee’s ready.
or: What if Mike was the one to see rovickie kiss at the hospital instead of Will? (this is pretty much a volume 1 rewrite, except I make Mike an actual character with feelings and not a cardboard cutout (yes, im still mad about the finale))
(title from “The Killing Moon” by Echo & the Bunnymen)

Summary
What initially begins as Mike and Will calling each other exaggeratedly cheesy pet names to mess with Max and Lucas starts spiralling into something a lot more intimate and dangerous. Will isn't really sure where they managed to lose the plot, or how far they can go before there's no turning back.
Or: Max and Lucas go through a late honeymoon phase. It's excessive. It's gross. Mike and Will (well, mostly Mike) decide to engage in exaggerated bouts of PDA to demonstrate how disgusting the couple are being. It starts to get out of control pretty quickly.
