Summary
“’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.
“Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.
“Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”
It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.
.........
or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.

Summary
“Je me marierai avec Mike.”
The name- god, why did that name have to be the one he thought of?- had been written out in Will’s blue pen before he could stop himself. Swirled out in his neat, perfect cursive, while simultaneously cursing back up at him.
“Je me marierai avec Mike.”
Will swore under his breath.

Will has a project due for his French class in which he has to write about his future. When he gets to the "future spouse" part, Mike's name comes spewing from his pen before he can stop it. It's no big deal, really- until Mike himself gets a hold of the project.

Summary
He takes a deep breath.
“I want him the way I should have wanted Jane.”
Max is quiet, when he finally manages to look at her again. Her brows draw together slightly, pausing.
“But,” she whispers, in the space between them. “Will is a boy.”
Mike feels new tears well up behind his lids.
“Max.”
Something shifts in her expression, her mouth parting slightly.
“Oh.”
It’s quiet. Mike’s mouth pulls itself into a bitter smile. “Yeah, oh.”
or, it’s summer ‘90, and while everyone is off to college, Mike and Max scoop up ice cream in the rebuilt Starcourt Mall, reluctantly bonding over their shared hatred for children (and Mike’s little sister and idle friends) who just can’t seem to leave them alone.
or, 5 years later, it isn’t Robin and Steve working at Scoops Ahoy: it’s Max and Mike (who also get accidentally drugged. It's definitely not Steve's fault.)
(inspired by that gorgeous fanart by falloutlaw on twitter!)

Summary
“No. No, that can’t be right.”
“You don’t know anything about yourself, why is this so hard to believe?”
“Because I’m gay.”
Will freezes.
Mike is confused. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He barely knows his own name.
“Mike, you’re not gay.”

Summary
Mike Wheeler is on a mission.
Someone out there is breaking his best friend’s heart, and Mike is absolutely determined to find the girl responsible and put a stop to it.
...If only people would stop looking at him like he’s the world’s biggest idiot—and actually take him seriously—this would all be a lot easier.
