    Summary

    Mike hates Valentine’s Day. It was fun as kids, when teachers would make every student decorate a little shoe box with pink and red heart stickers, that by the end of the day would be filled with cheesy Valentines and sweets.

    But this isn’t kindergarten anymore— there are no school-enforced rules that his classmates have to give him a Valentine. He has to earn them. And he hasn’t.

    ———

    Mike is (not) upset that he’s the only one of his friends that hasn’t received a Valentine. That is, until something just so happens to fall out of his locker the next day.

    Summary

    “Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”

    Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”

    “If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”

    In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.

    So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

    Summary

    All this time, he’d thought El was penance, for his failure to protect Will. That being with her was atonement, for wanting the wrong things, for feeling the wrong way. But it hadn’t helped— Will kept leaving. And El did, too. Mike keeps losing people, and nothing he does brings them back.

    Each time Mike thinks of Will, he feels the weight of cosmic responsibility.

    He's doesn't know what he feels for Will anymore. But he knows for certain that it isn't allowed.

    non-linear series retrospective, from mike's perspective. (aka: the mike pov we all deserved)

    Look, as soon as Mike figures it out and locks Will down as his boyfriend, permission is granted and that sex life is off the damn charts.

    OR: Will never knows a day of peace ever again.

    Summary

    Wilson had always been a man who lived in the shadow of others’ choices. His wives and girlfriends made the decisions, furniture, where to eat, what to do for fun, even how to spend their weekends. He never resisted. It was easier that way, wasn’t it? To just go along, to let someone else lead, to let someone else take charge. It wasn’t that he didn’t have opinions or preferences, he just didn’t trust them.

    or, House sets off a midlife crisis in Wilson by forcing him to pick the furniture of their condo
