Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
"Is Will your boyfriend?" Holly asks, and Mike immediately chokes on the lettuce in his mouth.
"Wh- what?" he gasps, dropping his fork and swallowing back the salad that suddenly feels like cement in his throat. Holly's looking at him with a strange expression, like she's trying to figure something out.
"Will. Is he your boyfriend?" she repeats, even though Mike very obviously heard her, and the question doesn't feel any less shocking the second time.
"No!" He yelps. "No, why would you think that?"
Holly shrugs, taking another bite of spaghetti like this is a normal conversation and she is not slowly killing him. "Nancy calls him your little boyfriend sometimes, and Mom says he's your person, which basically means the same thing, and you live together and act like a couple and unpack groceries together, and- I don't know. Seems like it could be a thing."

Summary
Mike opens the door to Lucas’s house, and everything is abruptly not perfect. Not even a little. Not at all.
Because Will—good, handsome, sweet, perfect Will—is sitting on the couch, which is not as good or handsome or sweet or perfect, but that’s okay, because it’s a couch, and couches don’t have to be those things.
But sitting next to him, smiling and laughing and slinging an arm around Will’s shoulders like it has any right to be there, is a man Mike’s never seen before in his entire life.
There’s only one logical conclusion.
Will’s brought a date.

holiday parties, jealousy, and the horrors of growing up… oh my!

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
“Can you look at me?” Mike’s voice sounds strange. Thin.
Will slowly turns around. His eyes land comfortably on Mike’s chin, but he feels the boy’s eyes digging into his eyelids, so he forces himself to look up. This cannot possibly be what Will thinks it is. It can’t. Mike might tell him about recurring nightmares that’ve been bothering him, or the anxiety that’s been eating him up about his hospitalized parents, or maybe he’s going to start complaining about his withering relationship with El, but it cannot be that, right?
Or
Mike doesn't waste any more time repressing his feelings for Will. Breaking limbs with his badass mind powers is enough of a cue for him to confess.
