Just not for Mike.

Summary
Mike stayed sitting on the floor, suddenly very aware of the lack of warmth that had been radiating off Will’s leg against his own. “You sure Steve is gonna be there? Not just Robin?” Will closed his jacket zipper, considering Mike for a moment. “Yeah! I mean... I did not ask Robin per se, but I just assumed he’d be around?” The uncomfortable feeling in Mike’s chest spread throughout the rest of his body. He couldn’t really pinpoint what it was, but he felt like it would disappear if Will would just stop being so vague. “So, Steve and Robin, huh?”, Mike tried his best to sound nonchalant while following Will around as he was grabbing all his things, “Are they, like, a thing?” Will let out a laugh, trying to keep his composure. Mike didn't understand what was supposed to be so funny, leaving him even more confused. "No, no, definitely not."
OR: Mike gets jealous with Will easily which is definitely normal because they are best friends. No other reason.

Summary
He'd like to think he's slick enough, the way he can keep the dull ache of his chest tucked away in the hidden back pocket of his heart and expertly school his features whenever one of Luffy's wayward smiles knocks all defiance and strength out of his knees. No need to call on his powers to slice and muddle and skew reality as everyone knows it; he can bitch and spit and grouse about how much disgrace Luffy's simple kindness brings to all pirates, make a show of stamping out any notion of friendship between them beneath his feet, and no one will have to hear any semblance of the truth exit his mouth – now or ever.
In all honesty, it's easier that way.
(Or: my personal twist on the Hanahaki trope, in which Luffy's warmth shines all-too-terrifyingly like the sun and Law has to physically rip out anything that vaguely even resembles love from his own body again, and again, and again on desperate repeat.Luckily for him, he has the surgical precision and exactly the right devil fruit powers for that).

Summary
Max' cheeks burned up and he felt more than a little dumb for it. But it was the truth. Bradley was pretty. Not just now but in general. Only it never really came through when he was acting like a massive bitch.
But now, with Bradley looking at him without any malice in his eyes and still recovering from the previous events, Max could see.
Bradley looked raw. His athlete suit dirty and torn at the sleeves, hair tussled and face bruised. His eyes tired and glassy and his cheeks pink. He looked real for once. Honest.
Or:
Max accidently overhears a conversation between Bradley and his father. He's never seen the boy look so small before. When things escalate, Max rushes in to help.Circumstances lead to the two becoming roommates. Max realizes that there is more to Bradley than what first meets the eye and he is determined to reveal it all.
Bradley struggles to let himself open up, but bit by bit Max tears down all his defenses. He's helpless against it.
