When you agree to help the development of hextech, unexpected consequences - and feelings - arise.
Or: flirting in the name of science.

Summary
Schoolwork. Too much coffee. Nights spent on a rooftop. Somewhere in between, Jean and Marco become friends.
It's not easy going; there's fire alarms, run-ins with the crazy clean freak Criminal Law teacher, and Jean and Eren's drunken bromance, but their biggest problem is reminding everyone that they're totally not crushing on each other. (Except, you know, they definitely are.) -

Summary
"It's going to be OK," Mikasa tells him, late at night, when they're sitting on the rooftop and he's in her lap, screaming at the stars.
It's not, it's not, it's not, Jean thinks, and then the pain pulls him back under.

Summary
Today was Friday, which means the kids were all hopped up on weekend excitement. They bounce off the walls and eat all the chips and bring their friends over to do whatever the hell kids do these days. They order pizza and play music too loud and ruin Mike’s life.
It’s not that he hates the kids; he doesn’t. He wouldn’t. He just hates what they do to him. More to come on this later.

Summary
He shouldn't have let Max goad them into doing this. He should have shut the whole operation down the moment he saw her share a smirk with El when they were still out at the diner, innocently eating shitty waffles and soggy fries. He should have never agreed to let everyone come back here, he should have never let Robin and Steve pawn them off a twelve-pack of disgusting Sam Adams, and he should have never, ever let Dustin put his empty bottle in the middle of the circle they were sat in, comfortably buzzed and basking in normalcy.
But Mike had let them.
Mike Wheeler finds heaven in a boy who’s been to hell and back.

As if getting dragged into the Upside Down and making everyone rescue him a second time wasn’t bad enough, this time, somehow, Will also leaves the Upside Down with the ability to read people’s minds.
At least he’s not throwing up slugs this time.or;
Will gets telepathic powers, and can't control them. Through this, he accidentally learns that his best friend is having some less than heterosexual thoughts.
The only problem is he doesn't seem to know he's having them.Series

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.
