"Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.
He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."
"Again."
El is gone.
Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

Summary
“Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”
Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"
"What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.
In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.- Language:

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
Will’s eyes sting with tears, and his nose prickles with heat. He feels like he’s burning, like he’s on fire. But Mom’s right—he doesn’t have to be afraid. She knows, and she loves him, and she’s not leaving. All that’s left is the words. And he shouldn’t be scared of words. After all he’s been through, if what takes him down is the English alphabet, then the world has a really fucked up sense of humor.
He just needs to rip off the bandaid.

Summary
Will blinks. Mike is looking at him with an amused look on his face, wide-eyed and a little pink across the bridge of his nose, and God, okay, Will wants to–
“Um,” he says instead. “Huddling? For warmth?”
“For warmth,” Lucas echoes, and then looks back at Dustin again. “Huddling. For warmth.”
“Like penguins,” Mike offers, and then rests his head on Will’s shoulder like this is supposed to be helping, or something.
Will Byers and the harrowing experience of being snowed in with your mom, your almost-stepdad, all of your friends, and your (kind of) (secret) boyfriend.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
03 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
Ten years after they first met, five years after their break-up, Hao wants to believe that he has moved on. His life doesn't have a trace of Hanbin; his thoughts are clear, and he is fully satisfied with the life he has built for himself. When he agrees to serve as a mentor on a new Mnet survival show, producers fail to mention two crucial things. First, the show is a complete replica of Boys Planet, which, to Hao, seems to be a cruel mockery. Second, Hanbin is there.
Ten years after their beginning, five years after their end, Hao is forced to face someone he has been avoiding for so long, he has forgotten they were two halves of the same heart.

Summary
“You’ve been dating for a year and a half,” Jiwoong says, “What do you mean not that serious?”
“Ah…” Zhang Hao starts and then stops himself.
There’s no excuse he can give them that will make them understand, not unless he admits this whole relationship is a sham.
Zhang Hao never meant for his small white lie about having a boyfriend to spiral so far out of control. Hiring Hanbin to play the part was supposed to be a simple transaction, but with every fake date they go on, the line between pretend and something real begins to blur.

Summary
“So… you partnered up with the Hufflepuff captain who’s a flirt?”
“He’s not a flirt,” Hao said, the words falling out of his mouth a little too fast.
Everyone stared at him, various shades of amusement on their faces. “I mean,” he clarified, clearing his throat. “He’s just… friendly.”
“Friendly,” Jiwoong echoed, unconvinced. “And he just so happened to choose the seat next to you in class?”
“Let me guess, did he ask to call you hyung, too?” Taerae added, smirking.
“Careful, hyung. At this rate, it sounds like he’ll ask you to be his date to the Yule Ball,” Ricky teased.
Hao bit his lip, refusing to look at any of them.
---
In which Hanbin and Hao are partnered for a project, and between the chaos of magical duels, quidditch matches, and finding dates for the Yule Ball, they find comfort in each other.

Summary
Does Hanbin still have a crush on him?

Is it his fault?
Is he seducing Hanbin unknowingly?
Hao spends his winter holiday at the Sungs' home, where he reunites with Hanbin—now strikingly different from the boy he once knew. Though Hao tries to resist his growing attraction, falling for him seems inevitable.

Summary
Then Hao reaches for Hanbin's hand — and the relief, like every time, is instant.
Hanbin stares at him like he invented sunshine for perhaps three seconds before whipping his head back to the producer.
“I’m so sorry, I’m feeling better now. Can I try that again?”Zhang Hao swears Sung Hanbin’s mere presence gives him a headache, despite the way everyone sings his praises, and Hanbin’s scowl suggests the feeling’s mutual.
Forced into a collab stage, they discover that touching makes the pain— disappear?
Things escalate quickly.

Summary
“So,” Eddie said, voice light, “what’s good today?”
Buck didn’t even look. He reached beneath the counter, grabbed a small white bag and the to-go cup of juice he had ready before sliding it across to Eddie. “You want the apple turnover. Some orange juice too.”
Eddie blinked. “How’d you—”
“You always glance at both of them but never pick them. Thought I’d make the call for you today. Start your day off with some joy.”
His eyes lingered on Buck. “Always do.”
Or Buck owns a bakery, Eddie gets a little sweet treat every day, and they learn what joy is.

“They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”
“So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”
“A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”
“And I am—”
“The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”

Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.

“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

Summary
Zhang Hao chuckles, leaning into him. “Then I'm greatly looking forward to it.” They both look when Seungeon shouts out his name, waving him over. “Well, that's my cue. Like I said, text me, okay?”
Hanbin swallows. “Okay.” Zhang Hao's warmth leaves him, though his eyes are still mapping out Hanbin's features like he's afraid of forgetting how he looks. “I had a lot of fun, too. Thanks for being so…understanding.” He winces at the reminder of what led them to talking in the first place.
“Understanding?” Zhang Hao questions, head tilted. Then he snorts. “Oh, that. You need to stop worrying about that. In fact, I'd prefer if you set your wallpaper back to how it was. Or do I need to send you a new picture?” He grins at Hanbin's surprised expression, before turning on his heel and barging in between Seungeon and Yujin.
After Hanbin's lockscreen of another idol is broadcast to the world, he's expecting to be thoroughly embarrassed. What he's not expecting is for said idol to show a very sudden interest in him.

Summary
If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.
But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.
Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.
Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.
“Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”
____
OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?

Summary
Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”
It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.
The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.
Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)
