    Summary

    Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.

    Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while. 

    It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.

    Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler. 

    OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

    Summary

    “So what? Every guy’s liked another guy at some point in their lives.”

    And, just like that, you could hear a pin drop.

    Every body slowly turns to face Mike Wheeler. Not a breath could be heard, as though the world stopped revolving the second the words left his mouth.

    or

    Mike Wheeler can't keep his mouth shut for the life of him.

    Summary

    Mike’s gaze is hungry, dark. He can’t take his eyes away from Will and his mouth, still hovering above his finger.

     
    “You think they would fit?” He says, voice low and rough.

     
    “Where—” Will whispers.

     
    Mike taps on his mouth, with his index and middle finger. Asking. Offering.

    Summary

    William got to his feet and turned around, prayer book clutched to his chest. Michael was standing in the center of the chapel, obviously just come from sparring practice. He was still wearing his dented cuirass, a leather pauldron on his right shoulder. The moonlight through the stained-glass windows painted him in blue and gold.

    “Forgot to leave your armor behind in the gymnasium?” asked William lightly, skirting around him to set the prayer book back in its tabernacle.

    “Something like that,” said Michael. He stepped out of the shaft of light, joining William at the perimeter of the circular room.

    William closed the ornate wooden door of the tabernacle and turned to face him. “How did you know I’d be here?”

    “I know you,” Michael said simply. I love you, he might as well have said, for the way it sent William’s heart skittering inside his chest.

    Michael has been betrothed to the princess since their infancy. But it’s her brother he really wants.
