    Summary

    “Do I,” Will starts, haltingly, eyes darting back and forth between Mike’s own like he’s already searching for the answer, “make you nervous?”
    Mike exhales, his shaky breath too loud in the space between them. It’s hard enough to sort through his own feelings where Will is concerned; it’s another thing entirely to attempt to explain them to Will himself. He looks at Will’s face, the planes of it softened in the darkness, and tries to draw forth the answer closest to the jumbled mass of the truth. “Yes,” is what he lands on, followed by, “maybe. I don’t know.”

    Summary

    Todd rounds his mouth to say something but no sound comes. What happens instead is that Neil’s gaze flickers down to his useless mouth.
    This can’t be nothing. This feels like a mountaintop, a treacherous one.
    Tremulously, Todd allows his own eyes to stray to the rounds of Neil’s lips. Allows in just a sliver of a thought.
    “What was…” Neil says, then stops. He swallows. His Adam’s apple bobs. “What was the poem about, Todd?”
    Todd’s kidding himself. He’d never shut out his thoughts. That’s an impossible thing to do. All he’d managed was to ignore their insistent calls. And now, he’s thinking he might unplug his ears.
    The way Neil had said his name had been different to how he usually spoke it. Like it was daunting yet precious.
    Carpe Diem.

    ---

    On a midnight escapade around Welton, Todd Anderson cannot help but give in to his desperate affection for one Neil Perry.
