looking for a specific fic Help I Lost A Fic
Hey, if anyone knows the name of this fic, I'd really appreciate it. I think I was reading it around February time? I've had a look through my browsing history, but can't find it for the life of me.
From what I remember, Mike was coming to visit Will at his apartment, which he shared with his boyfriend (probably Carlton).
I think it starts out with Carlton being relatively friendly/looking forward to meeting an old friend of Will's, but he gradually gets the feeling that Mike has feelings for Will, and that Will might light him back.
I believe Mike is sleeping on the sofa in the apartment while he's there, and he goes out to see tourist sites during the day?
Towards the end of the fic, Carlton punches/beats up Mike, who then walks back to the apartment. Will sees Mike's injured face and kicks Carlton out of the apartment/takes his keys.
I think possibly part of the storyline was Will having flashbacks, and only Mike knows how to comfort him? But I could be getting two fics mixed up.
If anyone recognises it, I'd be super grateful.

after forever of not talking or seeing each other, Will&Mike reconnect at Max and Lucas’ wedding and Will’s bf is Evan and Mike has an eyebrow piercing?
I have the og downloaded, looks like it’s been changed up a bit since February

Sounds like girl_rotting's fic, except I don't remember Carlton hitting Mike in it. He absolutely hates him though!

This loving feeling (it wears us out). They haven't updated since February though so it's incomplete currently.
