Summary
"Children, children, CHILDREN!" Murray finally snapped, pinching the bridge of his nose. The three of them shut up and looked at him in shock. "Enough of this pointless, childish bickering already. If I wanted to watch drama like this I would turn on a soap opera or telenovela. My god, do I have to play therapist to EVERYONE in this group?? I could sue you all for emotional compensation!"
Mike started to argue. He didn't know what he was going to say, exactly, but he was still pent up and Murray seemed like a better target than his two best friends. Unfortunately he didn't get very far.
"Ba-ba-ba! NO. Shut up and SIT DOWN. It's my turn to talk," Murray said forcefully, shoving the three of them onto the couch, with Mike somehow ending up in the middle.
"Oh no," Jonathan said under his breath.
"Shit," Nancy said at the same time.
Joyce hurried forward and stepped in between them. "Murray, Murray, no," she pleaded. "I know what you're doing, STOP."
Or: Murray meddles, Mike is hella confused, the world is ending, and Will won't talk to him.
OR: Mike runs away from his feelings and then for his actual, literal life.

Summary
“And I guess… I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m sorry,” Mike says, and he scoots closer to Will, knee brushing against Will’s own. “I’m sorry that I let you deal with all this shit alone, and I’m sorry I didn’t see what was happening or what I was doing, and I’m sorry I hurt you, Will. But… but most of all…
Will’s heart pounds, and he waits with nervous anticipation, hanging onto Mike’s every word. “I’m sorry I was too late,” Mike whispers, tears welling in his eyes. “That… that I was too late for us.”
Or:
The one in which Will and Mike fall apart before they fall back together.

Summary
The boy slowly came back out, taking his time in the hallway and looking around. He stopped just shy of entering the living room, eyeing the two of them on the couch, specifically Will.
"You live here?" he asked, frowning.
"Yep."
"Where do you sleep?"
"In the bedroom you accidentally found," Will pointed, trying to stay calm.
He looked at Mike. "So where do you sleep?"
"In the bedroom," Mike said, pointing even though it was very obvious at this point.
"But there's only one bed."
"Yep," they both said simultaneously.
He snorted. "What, are you like, gay or something?"
"Yes?" Will said, wishing it still wasn't so terrifying.
"I mean technically..." Mike started before Will elbowed him rather sharply to shut him up, because they did not want to get into that with a 10 year old right now. "Ok, yes. For all intents and purposes. Yes."
...
It's been five years since Mike and Will reconnected and finally got together. Five years later and they've settled into a normal, quiet life together with Addie, in a nice predictable routine they all enjoy. But their lives are once again turned upside down in an entirely different way with an unexpected arrival.

Summary
"We're still pranking Dustin when we get there," Will reminded them.
"Seriously?" El sighed. "You really think you can pull that off?"
"We have been SO careful for the past month not to say anything," Mike said. "He doesn't suspect a thing."
"Yeah, over the phone," she pointed out. "When you get there you're gonna have to hide it in person. No holding hands, no kissing, separate bedrooms..."
"We can survive," Will said, though he seemed a little hesitant now.
"You won't last a day," El guaranteed. "Just watch."
"Dustin's smart, he'll figure it out before the first day's over," Mike said confidently.
"You sure about that? He may be smart but he can also be pretty oblivious about relationships."
"He already knows I like Mike," Will said. "Surely it won't take him that long."
"I have my doubts," El shrugged. "Either way I get entertainment from both sides."
...
The Party take a long overdue roadtrip to visit Dustin in Utah. Mike and Will decide to prank him by not revealing their new relationship, wanting to see how long it will take him to realize the truth. But it's a lot harder than they thought, especially as Addie and Will grow closer together.
