Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.

Summary
The summer before college is supposed to be easy.
Mike teaches Will how to drive. They get jobs at Family Video. Evenings still belong to the park, the swings, the same routines they’ve had for years. For a while, it almost feels like nothing has changed.
Then their boss gives them ten boxes of unlabeled tapes and tells them to watch them. All of them. Tuesdays, paid, just the two of them in a dark room writing down runtimes and summaries like it doesn’t matter.
Most of the tapes are nothing.
Some of them aren’t.
And suddenly, being alone together starts to feel different. Something neither of them quite knows how to name, or admit, or look at too closely.
Told in alternating POV, this is a story about growing up, denial, and what happens when something you’ve spent years ignoring refuses to stay buried.

Summary
Will has been collecting data on everything Mike Wheeler since he was five years old. He has hundreds of file cabinets in his brain, cataloguing all of Mike’s behaviors. His likes and dislikes. His mannerisms and tells. His strengths and his…weaknesses.
If this asshole thought he was going to come in and snatch Mike up without a fight, he is sorely mistaken.
Or
When his best friend unexpectedly shows up to Spring Break with a boyfriend, Will quickly decides that if he can't have Mike Wheeler, no one can.

Summary
"What exactly are you calling for, Nancy?"
There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."
Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"
"They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"
"Yeah, I heard. What about…"
"Will, there's no one else. I've tried."
"Nancy, I can't… I can't just—"
"Please. I wouldn't be asking if there was another option."
Will bit the inside of his cheek. "Okay."
Or: Mike is on house arrest for 6 months and has no choice but to stay with Will, even though they haven't spoken in two years.
