Summary
William got to his feet and turned around, prayer book clutched to his chest. Michael was standing in the center of the chapel, obviously just come from sparring practice. He was still wearing his dented cuirass, a leather pauldron on his right shoulder. The moonlight through the stained-glass windows painted him in blue and gold.
“Forgot to leave your armor behind in the gymnasium?” asked William lightly, skirting around him to set the prayer book back in its tabernacle.
“Something like that,” said Michael. He stepped out of the shaft of light, joining William at the perimeter of the circular room.
William closed the ornate wooden door of the tabernacle and turned to face him. “How did you know I’d be here?”
“I know you,” Michael said simply. I love you, he might as well have said, for the way it sent William’s heart skittering inside his chest.
Michael has been betrothed to the princess since their infancy. But it’s her brother he really wants.

Summary
"I just wanted to check in on you, I guess. I don't think I do that enough."
Mike chuckled, a hint of bitterness staining it. "Will, that's literally all you do."
Will smiled ruefully. "And yet it's still not enough."
Sighing, Mike shook his head. "Look, we should just go upstairs. The lasagne's getting cold."
"I don't care about the lasagne. I care about you."
or
Will is very confused by whatever Mike's doing and he's a little angry about it too.

Summary
“And you,” Will deadpans, trying to ignore the way his heart is racing in his chest, “are literally under a spell right now.”
Mike grins, wide and dopey and so stupidly lovestruck. “Yeah, I am,” he agrees, and it’s far too flirtatious for Will’s liking, “I’m under your spell.”
Or:
Mike gets hit by a spell that causes him to fall in love with Will. Naturally, chaos ensues.

Summary
“What are you doing?” he asks, dumbfounded.
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m climbing through the window.”
“You know that people created the doors just for this precise purpose?” Will rolls his eyes, but cannot stop himself from smiling.
“Yes, but it’s not that romantic, isn’t it?” Mike smiles, putting his hands on the windowsill, voice breaking on the romantic.
“Romantic?” Will says, confused, not sure if he heard him correctly.
“Romantic,” Mike frowns, trying to push himself to climb into the window. Will is just standing there, expectedly, observing his failing attempts.
“You don’t have an athletic bone in your body,” Will rolls his eyes and leans against the window still. “Are you sure you don’t want to try the door?”
“And risk being caught by your mother? I don’t know about you, but I would rather not explain to her why I decided to drop by almost at midnight with the expectation to spend the night in her son’s bedroom."
Or: Will comes out. Lucas and Dustin handled it pretty well. Mike Wheeler's reaction is a bit harder to read.

Summary
“So, um,” Will stammers. “You’re saying I should get to know Patrick?”
Mike’s expression shutters for a moment, before he seems to pick up on the fact that Will’s joking. “Oh, shut up,” he grumbles, rolling his eyes. “If you want to date an anime nerd, then by all means—”
“Well,” Will says, heart still hammering in his chest. He tries for a smile, but he’s not sure he quite manages it. “No one else is offering.”

mike and will are roommates. it’s a disaster, except for all the ways that it’s not.
