Summary
“Look, what I’m saying is that it’s their turn to come here. What? It’s been more than two years since they last came, so it’s only fair that -”
“Sorry, are you two a couple?” He was interrupted by a male voice coming from just behind. A tall man with dark blond hair and a beard asked as he approached them. Instinctively, Mike pulled Will’s hand closer to him and placed himself between his husband and the unknown man.
“Why?” He felt Will squeeze his hand in response, but it seemed the smaller man wasn’t as worried as Mike.
or
Mike and Will are approached on the streets of New York city and asked to tell the story of how they first met.

Summary
Jonathan’s head lolls to the side, and he smirks at him. “I wasn't trying to insult you,” he says, “sorry. I just meant- I’ve been kind of aimless, lately, so. I guess I’m trying to say thank you. You’ve helped.”
Steve snorts. “What, because I’m another person for you to take care of?”
The joke falls flat between them, and Steve suppresses a wince as Jonathan considers him for a long moment. “Is that what you think you are to me?” he asks quietly after a beat, and Steve’s heart leaps up to somewhere in his throat.
Being friends with Jonathan is only weird if Steve makes it weird, right?

Summary
Mike grabs Will’s hands and tangles them with his own, blinking up at him through his long, dark lashes. His eyes are endless. Solid black, like the night above them. So shiny that Will can see himself, tipsy and happy, in the reflection. “I want to be stuck with you,” Mike whispers, like it’s a secret. “I don’t ever want to leave.”
Will sucks in a sharp breath, squeezing his hands. “Then don’t,” he whispers back, punched-out and honest. “Stay.”

Senior year in Hawkins. Will and Mike figure some things out.

Summary
“Meow,” and there’s no way she heard that right, eyes snapping away from where she’d been distractedly watching the TV screen and over to her brother’s friend. She checks again, and yeah, Will is holding a stuffed bear, not a cat. The beloved Tiggy stays firmly attached to his bag, so they aren’t playing with tigers, either.
“So they go back down the mountain, and now all the village people are asking them about the crystal, and Rory is sad thinking they didn’t get it that whole time, but then–”
“Meow. Meow,” Will declares, removing the teddy from the dinosaur’s back and making it do some sort of interpretive dance.

Summary
“It doesn’t have to be this way.”
“It already is, ‘Min. I told you. There was no other way.”
Armin’s world crumbles. It is utterly agonizing, soul-splitting in the most devastating way. His gut wrenches with it, aches to grasp at Eren’s stupid, tattered jacket and shout at him, beg and plead for another way. To trample the world flat, to singe and ravage and maul; that was forgivable. Reasonable. Understandable. The monster that Armin had come to know was destined for it.
To leave Armin behind was another matter entirely. Eren would never. The Eren he used to know would never.
And yet, he did. He is.
—
Or, Armin and Eren take their time saying goodbye.

At first, it had been something little. Something childish and coy, not quite real yet. Fumbling hands, hidden smiles, stuttering breaths and flushed cheeks.
How that feeling had managed to grow so intense, it seemed impossible to grasp.
