    Summary

    "Mike, truth or dare?" Max asks.
    Mike feels more than a little nervous. Max's dares can be pretty brutal, but her truths are worse, and Mike is wary of giving her ammunition. He takes a steadying swig of his beer and sits up straight even if his palms are a little sweaty.
    "Dare," he says.
    He’s not expecting it when instantly, she says,
    “I dare you to kiss Will.”
    Mike chokes on his beer. He starts coughing hard, and someone thumps him on the back, but Mike doesn’t even really notice. He stares at Max with wide eyes, shocked.
    “W- What?” he gasps.

    or;
    A mostly-innocent dare from Max turns Mike's world upside down.

    Summary

    Will usually has a pretty good handle on his crush on Mike. He's practically an expert at hiding his feelings for his best friend. Today, however, he went on a mission to gather intel, and now Mike is standing in front of him giving a debrief, flushed from cycling and he's wearing a short sleeved t-shirt, and well.
    Will is going to lose his mind.

    Summary

    "For one," Mike sighs, propping onto one elbow to look at Will properly, "Holly definitely has a crush on you."

    Will squints, just barely, lips curling up in amusement. It takes Mike an excruciatingly long time to detect what exactly Will thinks of this matter, but what comes out is soft, mellow, and not particularly to Mike’s enjoyment: "That's kind of cute."

    “It is not,” Mike hisses, and Will shoots him a grin. “She always talks about you, always giggles whenever you talk to her, and because she's like, incredibly adorable, and you’re so good with kids, I'm going to be trailing behind you guys like an absolute loser because she totally hogs you.”

    "Wait," Will blurts, brows drawing close. "Are you jealous?"

    Mike Wheeler is many things, but he is never jealous.
    Except — maybe this time he is.
    (Only a little bit.)

    Summary

    But he’s getting better. He’s getting better at it. Mike steps forward, and Will retreats. He’s getting better
    “You’re avoiding me.”
    So, for Mike to barge into his room and demand an explanation for why Will has been pulling away – well, maybe he’s a little confused. 

    Will finally rips off the band-aid. Mike won't let him.

    Summary

    “Yeah,” Mike nods, but it isn’t the most convincing, and he can’t find it in him to care, in the late hour, “I was just – thinking.”
    It’s not the most significant outfit, but still. Will looks nice. He’s always looked good in white.
    Mike blinks. That’s – weird. That’s a weird thing to think about his best friend.
    He effectively turns off his brain.
    Will asks, “About what?”
    “You,” Mike replies, and maybe turning his brain off was the worst idea he could’ve possibly had at nearly three a.m., Jesus fucking Christ.

    Mike confronts Will about the painting, and lets a few confessions slip.
