something simple (give you my heart)

Mike writes a song before he understands why he needs it.

At first, it's just something to fill the margins of his notebook— unfinished lines, crossed-out words, thoughts that feel easier to keep small. No matter how hard he tries to tell himself it's nothing, every lyric seems to lead back to Will.

The song changes as Mike does. It stops being something to fix or perfect and becomes something he's tired of hiding. When he finally lets Will hear it, it isn't about the music at all— it's about choosing to be seen.------A Mike-centric oneshot about music, unfinished words, and learning when to stop being so silent. Loosely inspired by "I Want to Write You a Song" by One Direction.
