Summary
"I just need you to know," Will says quietly, and he makes himself hold Mike's gaze, "that if something happens - if I hurt you, or anyone else - it's not because I wanted to. I would never want to hurt you, Mike. Never."
The words hang between them, loaded with more meaning than Will intended.
There's a pause where all Will can hear is their breathing echoing against the storage closet's walls. The hum is more distant now, buzzing in the back of Will's mind, but the uneven inhales coming from in front of him sound louder. The breath tickling his nose (because they really are that close) feels realer.
Mike's eyes are still darting across Will's face, and Will can feel him inhale sharply. "Will, why are you so convinced you're going to hurt someone? What did Vecna show you?"
Everything, Will thinks. He showed me everything. Showed me killing you over and over until I couldn't see anything else.
Somewhere between slaying interdimensional eldritch horrors, exploding an entire dimension, and risking their lives countless times, Mike and Will find each other.

Summary
-----
"Is a kiss a possible signal or...start of a...snowball?"
"A kiss isn't a signal nor a snowball." Will frowned immediately, confusion knitting his brows together, his mouth turning down at the corners.
"What is it then?" The question came out quiet, almost afraid of the answer, but needing it desperately anyway.
"An avalanche."

Summary
Mike and will drunkenly sleep together after Stacy’s party.
— or —
He’d thought he was over Mike. He’d told himself he was. He’d accepted that Mike would never feel the same way. Mike wasn’t like him. Untouchable. Unavailable. A dead end. He’d made peace with that over 18 months ago when the world was ending.
But now Mike was here. And he was touching him. Looking at him like this. Like he wanted him.
And Will was too drunk, too raw, too undone to shove the feelings back down where they belonged.

Summary
“I like when you tell me nice things.”
“I like your mouth,” Will blurts, then practically shrinks.
Mike’s eyes widen in the mirror, locking onto Will’s embarrassed face. “What?”
“Sorry,” Will stammers. “That was- I shouldn’t have said that.”
Mike hesitates for a beat, then asks, “What about it?”
“Huh?”
“What about my mouth do you like?”In which Mike and Will get drunk and dry hump at a house party… except they get a tad bit carried away.

Summary
A post-canon (with some small tweaks) road trip full of tension, nightmares, gay panic, and a very long drive toward the truth.
*
Will just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn’t plan on sharing motel beds, surviving Mike Wheeler’s jealousy spiral, or confronting feelings he’s spent years burying.
Mike thinks Will likes girls.
Will thinks Mike will never love him back.
Both of them are wrong.Or
Water dripped from Will's hair, ran down his jaw, caught on his lips.
Mike stared at it.
Stared like he'd forgotten where he was.
Then, slowly he lifted a towel and pressed it gently to Will's mouth, wiping the water away. His hand didn't even shake. He was steady.
Will's breath stuttered. Tingles tremored all the way up his spine.
He didn't move. He couldn't. He was too aware of Mike's hand, of the way his eyes kept dropping back to his lips.
That look again.
The one Will had seen a dozen times now and never understood.
