    Summary

    “That’s not my favorite.”

    “Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”

    Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.

    “Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”

    Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.

    Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.

    Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”

    --

    Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

    Summary

    “D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.

    “What?”

    “How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.

    “You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.

    “Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”

    Summary

    Will fumbled through his first aid kit. “Alright, c’mere, you look like Aragorn.”

    “That’s not a bad thing.” Mike pointed out with a sly grin, scooting close to him.

    “You’ve got blood everywhere. So definitely not HOT Aragorn.” Will corrected, before realizing exactly what he’d said, eyes widening.

    “Not that-” Will swallowed. “I think-” he stopped and stared at the stuff he’d pulled from the bag.

    “Let’s just. Get you cleaned up.” Will muttered, closing himself off. Shutting Mike out. Mike knew what that looked like.

    Will used to do it, when Lonnie would get mad. Shut everything out. Mike hated it.

    Did he mean what he'd said about Aragorn? Or was Mike overthinking it like always? Hope fluttered in his chest, hot and dangerous. He wanted to reach out and tell Will that it was fine, that he didn’t mind.

    That he wasn’t alone. That he didn’t have to be alone.

    But Mike Wheeler was a coward. So he didn’t say anything at all.

    Summary

    “Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”

    “Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”

    “Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”

    “Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”

    Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.
