Summary
“Will,” Mike starts.
“No, seriously,” Will says. The hand that isn’t holding his beer raises between them, twitching downwards like he’s physically shoving any of Mike’s other questions back down where they came from. “It was a stupid thing to ask.”
Mike shakes his head, then scoots forward, inching closer to Will. “It’s not,” he insists. “If it’s you asking, it’s not stupid, Will.”
On New Year's Eve, 1996, Will asks Mike a question. He gets an answer and then some.

Summary
Mike’s mouth is warm.
Warm, and a little chapped, and pressing against his with an uncertainty that makes something in Will’s chest ache. He should pull away. He knows this. He knows it in the same way he knows not to touch a hot stove, not to stare too long, not to let himself imagine impossible things. His body seems uninterested in logic, though, and he supposes he can’t blame himself, not really.
Mike shifts slightly, trying to figure out what to do with his limbs. His lips move against Will’s with more intention, and Will’s breath stutters out of him in a way that is deeply embarrassing and entirely involuntary.
Oh, his brain supplies unhelpfully.
It’s something he’s imagined countless times before, kissing Mike Wheeler. He imagines it so often, in fact, that he cannot even recall the first time he imagined it. It’s an ever-present fantasy, always lurking in the back of his mind.
And yet, despite his thorough experience in imagining this moment, he somehow never imagined it quite like this.
Or: Five times it doesn't mean anything, and one time it finally does.

Summary
“Remember,” his mom says as she shoves the car into park, “if you decide you want to get picked up early, I’m only a phone call away, okay?”
Will glances away from the window to wrinkle his nose at her. “Why would I want to go home early?”
His mom smiles a little and shrugs innocently. “I don’t know. Maybe you’ll get scared and want to sleep in your own bed.”
Will huffs. “Mom, I’m seven and a half now,” he tuts, “I don’t get scared anymore.”Will and Mike have their first sleepover

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
“This is about Mike,” El said, her amusement palpable.
”You could — say that,” Will said, haltingly. “I just. You’re the only one in the party who’s been on dates and stuff that aren’t with someone they’ve been seeing for years, and I need to know how to do that.”
El made a strange noise he couldn’t decipher. There was the muffled sound of someone covering the receiver, and a sound not unlike a tea kettle going off, and then El was back in his ear and saying, “I see.”
When they move into a new apartment as juniors, Will decides he has to learn to get over Mike. Going on a bunch of dates with new guys will definitely make things easier, and they’ll both be very normal about it.
