Will sighs, shuffling his feet. “I was looking to see if I had a birthday card to write in,” he mumbles. “For… for Mike. Because- well.”

Jonathan grins. “Because you love him.”

Will’s gaze snaps back to him, brow furrowing. “Yeah, well, I’m not gonna write that in there,” he grumbles. This, of course, does not mean that it’s not true.

Will presses his lips together. “I waited for him before,” he points out in a low voice, fighting the tears that are always lurking somewhere in the back of his throat these days. “I can do it again.” “I don’t care if you can or not,” El snaps, and Will glances up at her, more shocked than offended by her tone. “I care about what’s good for you.” She takes a deep breath, drumming her fingers against the counter, and her voice is thick when she continues, “You- you’ve always been so eager to torture yourself, Will. Why do you think your own happiness isn’t worth anything?”

In the summer of 1989, Will loses the one thing he's always wanted. Five years later, he gets him back.
