    Summary

    Peter often wondered about the atomic bomb.

    More than most teenagers should, probably. Though most teenagers weren’t vigilantes either. In any event, his wonderings had nothing to do with his extracurriculars. It was only tangentially related, in the way he seemed to be able to detonate his entire life in seconds, in an exorbitantly bright and colorful manner.

    The thing was, an atomic bomb didn’t start with the explosion, although everyone always focused on that bit. Humans always did have a fascination with things that killed them, and from a humanitarian perspective, the damage was what was important. But coming from a more chemical perspective, the explosion was almost incidental.

    The real danger was in the preparation, in the way two things that were stable on their own could be forced together under exactly the right — or wrong — conditions. Not inherently volatile, nor doomed from the start, but close enough and aligned until a reaction became inevitable.

    –-

    OR: Peter nearly dies, goes into a coma, wakes up, and then gets himself into a hostage situation, all while Tony is acting strangely distant. It is, objectively, not a good month for him.

    Summary

    “When it comes to doing that stupid 'color guard' nonsense, either you’re a girl, or you’re gay. Are you gay, Mike? Is that why you’re doing this after all?”

    “Yes.”

    His father made eye contact with him for the first time all day. “What?”

    “I’m gay, Dad. I’ve known for a while. I like boys.” Mike tried to sound confident, tried to stay solid like he’d imagined doing for so long. “I am gay.”

    Ted didn’t speak for a long time. When he did, it was the two words that Mike had never wanted to hear coming from his father.

    “Get out.”

    You see, she didn’t exactly want to end up with a concussion. But here she was. With aching head, a little blurry vision and the knowledge that she's in love with her best friend.

    Summary

    Was…was Mike’s heart reacting to Will?

    Mike isn’t looking at him. He’s staring hard at his cards as if he hasn’t seen them before, biting his inner cheek, and accentuating his dimple. As Will looks closer, he notices the pink shade spreading over the shell of Mike’s ear, the red emerging from the black curls like a rose sprouting from the earth.

    Was Mike still nervous around him? Hadn’t they resolved that?

    Will decides to test it. He leans onto the bed and rests a hand on Mike’s uninjured thigh, his thumb swiping side to side over the covers, and waits.

    Mike's leg twitches into his hand, and barely a moment passes before the beeps speed up again, a rapid climb from steady to sprinting, and when Will looks, the blush has spread to Mike’s cheeks, his eyes unmoving and glued to his cards.

    Oh. Will gapes at the monitor, the green spiking line. That's not discomfort.

    Oh. He can have some fun with this.

     

    Or: Mike, while protecting Will, gets attacked by a demogorgon. Guilt-ridden, Will stays with him in the hospital, forcing them to resolve the awkward air that has surrounded them for months, and, along the way, uncover some truths.
