Summary
Will thinks of all the times he’s trained himself out of moments like this. How long it’s taken him to perfect the art of staying very still, of letting feelings pass through him without ever touching the outside world. He thinks of how wanting Mike has always felt like something sticky and unclean, something that would stain everything it brushed against.
Mike waits, face hovering mere inches away, eyes half-lidded. He always waits.
“You can—” Will starts, then stops, because Mike has stolen the words right off his lips.
or Mike is worried he's a bad kisser. Will helps him test this theory.

Summary
“That’s not my favorite.”
“Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”
Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.
“Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”
Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.
Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.
Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”
Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

Summary
“Hi,” Mike called out faintly, without moving.
“Jesus.” Will’s voice was relieved. His footsteps drew closer. “Why didn’t you bring your walkie? Everyone’s been—oh.” He was beside him now, silhouetted in the moonlight. “Mike.”
“Hm?” Mike closed his eyes. He knew the face Will was making right now without having to actually see it—eyes wide, lips parted. Worried.
Will knelt beside him in the leaves. “When’s the last time you fed?”
“I don’t…” Mike cracked an eye open. Will was too pretty to lie to. “Yesterday afternoon, I think.”
“Okay,” Will said. His voice was tight. “It’s gonna be okay.”
A few moments passed. Will put the back of his hand to Mike’s forehead, and Mike leaned into the touch. This wasn’t so bad, really. He was weak, and everything ached, but at least Will was here.
“Hey,” Will said, breaking the silence. “Feed from me.”

Summary
Through the bond, Will felt Mike’s horror. His regret.
Mike hadn’t meant to bite him. His instincts had taken over completely, and now they were bonded—permanently, irreversibly—and Mike looked at Will like he’d just made a terrible mistake.
“Mike—” Will started, but his voice came out wrecked.
“I bit you.” Mike’s voice was hollow. “I didn’t mean to. I swear—”
Will touched his throat, fingers coming away bloody. The bond was there, thrumming between them.
“It’s okay,” Will said, even though nothing about this was okay. “It was the heat—”
“We have to break it,” Mike said.
OR: Will goes into heat while he and Mike are trapped in the Upside Down and they accidentally bond.
