Summary
Physically separated by college, the party keeps in touch with each other with weekly, carefully scheduled one-on-one phone calls.
One Sunday, Will lets it slip to Mike that he's been having problems with a boy at his school. But unlike the problems Will’s used to– bullying, teasing, distressingly doodled-over newspaper cutouts of articles announcing his own un-death– the problem this time is that the guy likes him. And that he's the childhood best friend of Will’s college best friend. And that he’ll be at said college best friend’s birthday party this Saturday.
Mike volunteers to drive up to Will’s school so he can attend the party and be Will’s meat shield for a night. Now Will has to deal with a very protective (and jealous?) Mike Wheeler, a deeply displeased prospective love interest, and a bed that is absolutely too small for him and Mike to fit into at the end of the night.

Summary
Her mouth dropped open, just slightly, eyes wide and uneasy. “But… Will’s a boy.”
A statement heavy as it is true. Mike wet his lips, unshed tears burning his entire face.
“Max…” He muttered faintly.
A brief, incredulous smile flickered across her features, like she was waiting for the punchline. “Yeah??”
Mike just stared at her through tired, unblinking eyes. His heart was thrumming so violently in his ears that he was convinced she could hear it too.
“Oh shit,” She breathed, face slackening with realization.
“Oh shit,” he echoed.
OR: Robin's coming out scene except instead it's with Mike and Max.

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
“Do you think we could learn to love each other?” Will asks, and that question feels like something intimate and afraid and vulnerable and hopeful all at once.
Neither one of them looks at each other. If they did, Mike thinks, then this question might become an answer neither one of them is ready to give. A confession that this – this might just be something real.
“Yeah,” Mike breathes, and his heart beats so loudly, so nervously, in time with Will’s own. “Yeah, I think so.”
Or:
In the aftermath of a nearly thirty-year long war between their kingdoms, Prince Michael of Corazzia’s hand is offered in marriage to Prince William of Luzios—otherwise known as the Shadow Prince. Together, the two of them must learn to reconcile their own differences to forge a new path to peace and restore their two kingdoms left broken apart by war.
