    Since Mike came to visit in Lenora, Will had been thinking to himself. Mike seemed truly like he was happy in the relationship he had going with El, but Will didn't have a relationship going, and he felt lonely. Granted, he couldn't exactly pick up the closest person he saw and ask them to go out with him. For one thing, Will liked men, and most of the people that showed interest in him were girls. For another, he wanted someone familiar; Will didn't want to jump into a relationship with someone he didn't know that well.

    Here came his dilemma: sitting in front of him was a guy he liked, someone he really thought he could be happy with, but the idea of pursuing a relationship with him didn't really seem like the best bet. Even if Will were single, it wouldn't guarantee this guy was, and what about the idea that he didn't like guys? It wasn't perfect by any means, but Will decided that, with the life he lived and what all was going on lately, life was too short to get hung up on what-ifs.

    Will carefully took a seat next to the guy, looking at him for a moment before giving a quiet, "Hey."
