Summary
Cute Boy in Trader Joes・9/14・Manhattan
Ran into you (sorry again) at the Trader Joe's on 14th. I complimented your shirt and you complimented mine. I thought you were so pretty and wanted to ask for your number but wimped out. I hope you see this.
"That one's sweet," Max says. "And look! That's the Trader Joe's that we go to."
Will is silent for long enough that Max looks back at him questioningly. She scans his face, and he's sure that his cheeks are bright red.
"Max," he says finally, voice quiet and disbelieving. "I think that one's about me."

Summary
In the summer of 2008, a new YouTube format strives to reunite people who have long since gone their separate ways. Two of these people happen to be MIKE and WILL, who have been out of touch since October 1993.
The catch? Neither of them knows that the other is sitting down at the same time, in the same building, answering the same questions.
Neither of them knows that, at the end of the interviews, they will meet again.

Summary
Will and Mike are insanely competitive. Incapable of losing or letting the other win, it comes up in quite literally every aspect of their lives – whether it be one-upping each other while playing games, or drinking with their friends, or even arguments, neither side is ever willing to give up until it gets too tiring to keep going.
—
Will thinks for a moment, biting his lip and picking at his fingernails, before looking at Mike with a mysterious glint in his eyes. There's a rosy tint to his cheeks, and Mike has to stop himself from leaning over and biting them.
“Do you want to play Mario Kart again tonight?”
Mike and Will play video games. Just for fun. Totally, totally not as an excuse to get naked.

Summary
"It's not fair." Mike announced angrily.
Dustin looked up. "What?"
"We've got these." Mike gestured at the table. "And Will's just…he doesn't have anything like this. That's not fair. You should have thought about him when you got these."
"Mike, I was lucky to find what I did! I wasn't exactly spoiled for choice out there. Where do you think I'm going to find gay porn magazines in Hawkins?"
"I don't know, you could have tried harder! Where did you even go to get these?"
"I'm not telling you that!"
"Then I'll go look myself." Mike was already planning it out in his head. It couldn't be that hard. This town had a lot of wreckage. Somebody had to have left something behind somewhere. "How hard can it be?"
Lucas lowered the magazine. He looked at Mike appraisingly, like he was trying to work something out. "You want to go out to find gay porn magazines…for Will?"
When Mike can't find a single gay porn magazine for Will in the wreckage of Hawkins, he decides to make one himself. That's just what best friends do.

Summary
"Oh, Mike, this is Carlton. Carlton, Mike."
Mike lifted one hand in a lazy half-wave.
Carlton straightened up from the stool, offering what he probably thought was a friendly smile. “You must be the roommate. Will talks about you constantly. I feel like I already know you.”
Roommate. Mike’s jaw tightened. The label that didn't get them thrown out of housing - or worse. Still, some petty part of him wished Carlton could see what “roommates” got up to the second that door closed. Whose name Will actually called out at night. How loud he got when Mike had him wrecked and desperate.
Will doesn't notice his project partner flirting with him.

It was Lucas who broke it, looking over at Mike "Hey. The floor's open, by the way. If you wanted."
Mike blinked. "What?"
"Oh yeah! We always end up talking about this stuff without you." Dustin said, rolling onto his side. "Lucas talked about Max. I've been monologuing about Stacy for over a month, which in retrospect was a waste of everyone's time-"
"Tremendous waste." Mike agreed. "Historic, really."
"-and you've got something going on now." He shrugged. "It's your turn."
Mike looked at Lucas, who raised his eyebrows in a quiet yeah, what he said.
He looked back at Dustin. "You want me…to talk to you about having sex with Will?"
In which Dustin is a shit head and Mike ends up oversharing about his sex life.

Summary
My contribution to MerMay.
Will was just trying to keep his head low and his bills paid. The job at the Research Center for Ocean Life was easy, quiet, and it kept food in his belly. Everything was going well until he saw something in the Deep Sea enclosures he couldn't explain.
**
His sneakers slid across the soap, making him windmill his arms and for a moment, the safety training video he’d watched a few weeks prior played on a loop in his head, scolding him for not wearing no-slip shoes.
“No. Nope. No fucking way,” he panted through chattering teeth as he found his footing and leaned his back against the door.
He kept his eyes locked on the enclosure, waiting for the light to show up again or for his mind to come up with a better explanation than there was a fucking alien in a tank less than a hundred feet away from him. He waited almost half an hour before he found his nerve and crept back to retrieve the mop. He didn’t bother to clean the glass, justifying it with the lack of time he had left in his shift rather than the queasy feeling in his stomach and uncomfortable, primal fear of being confronted with something he had no logical explanation for.

Summary
There stood Mike, frozen like a statue. In front of him, Will was bent over, digging through the fruit drawer of the refrigerator. After a moment, Will straightened up with a ripe peach in hand. Ted watched his son continue staring at the exact spot Will’s backside had just occupied, wearing an expression of pure, hopeless longing.
Ted considered quietly backing out of the room.
"For God's sake, Michael," He said, instead. "Either take something out or close the door. I'm not paying to refrigerate the whole neighborhood."
Will turned around, blinking in mild confusion.
Mike’s face bloomed bright red. The blush was quickly overtaken by a scowl. He slammed the refrigerator door hard enough to rattle every magnet on it. “I was getting something! Sorry it took more than two seconds-"
“When exactly did your mother start storing the snacks in the back pockets of Will’s jeans?”
“Oh my God.” Mike spun on his heel and stormed toward the stairs. “You are so-" The rest was lost to thundering footsteps and the inevitable slam of his bedroom door.
Or, Ted realizes sometimes you need to be locked in the closet before coming out of it.

"Hello, everybody! Sorry to barge in on you like this," Will yells into the mic, met by cheers from the crowd.
"Someone bet me that someone like me could never become attached to a man with a tiny penis, but I was tricked. Oh, look," he raises his cuffed arm up as the crowd laughs.
"It's Mike Wheeler from The Make."
Mike steals the microphone from his hands, cutting off Will's joking.
"Yeah, very funny. We just got hitched together by some crazy dude backstage. I'd love to return his beautiful cuffs," he feels hands on his shoulders pulling him away from the mic stand. He shouts out one last plea.
"If anyone has any bolt cutters!"
The microphone sends a sharp frequency through the speakers as the two are pulled off stage by security.
