Summary
He just had to ignore the pout in Dean’s lips when he spotted a problem in a car, the way that those jeans hugged his ass just right, the way he wanted Dean to-
It would go away with time.
All he needed was time.
Time that would come to pass, and time that would grow like vines around his heart, entwining himself to Dean Winchester. Even when they returned to college for the beginning of their sophomore year, that little flutter of a butterfly in his stomach, now a swarm, remained.
He was fucked.
If having a big, fat crush on your best friend was wrong, Castiel Novak was most definitely not right.

Summary
Mike swallows and reorganizes his priorities and grabs the radio out of the backpack. His fingers are on the push-to-talk when a loud clattering noise makes him whip towards the door. Will’s head snaps up at the same time, so Mike’s nose is in his hair, and normally that would be the distraction of a lifetime.
Except the clattering came from out there. The hallway beyond the door. And the only other thing in this school right now is—
“The Demodog.”
“Shh. Don’t move.”
As if Mike would be dumb enough to move. Still, not moving leaves them in what some would call a compromising position. When it was brief, Mike could stand not to notice every little detail, but rooted to their spots, he’s hyper-aware: their feet aligned in a puddle of Clorox, hips brushing, Will’s shoulder pressed into Mike’s chest, the tickle of Will’s hair against Mike’s nose. Mike clutching Will, Will clutching Mike.

Summary
In some ways, Will always knew this conversation was coming. He knew if he came out, there’d be more than just one conversation about it. His mom would want to reassure him, and Jonathan would probably give him some awkward but well-intentioned advice. His friends would– well hopefully they’d tell him they’re still his friends. They might even tease him about it, if they took it really well.
And Mike…
“Can we talk?” He bounced on the balls of his feet, looking awkward and earnest and so normal it hurt Will’s teeth to think about. “Heart to heart?”
...
Mike and Will have a heart to heart, in which Mike asks some extremely gay questions, Will is heartbroken and oblivious, tears are shed, truths are spilled, and love is found at last.

Summary
“Will?” Mike swiveled around, sat on a spinning chair in the middle of the small room.
“Mike,” Will smiled, tiny. “I thought I’d find you here,” he had a black bag in his hands, like something he’d fill art supplies with.
“Yeah, it’s call time. I’m surprised I’m not late,” Mike toyed with the hem of his sleeve. “Are you.. uh, gonna watch the show?”
Will squinted and tilted his head, mildly amused. “Mike…”
“What?”
“I’m on the stage makeup crew. Didn’t Dustin tell you?”
or
Will is on the stage makeup crew of Hawkins High's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, where Mike is playing Oberon! And he does his fairy makeup. Naturally, they talk.

Summary
“Hey, Will! C’mon buddy, time to wake up and get going, okay? We’re all done here, it’s all done.”
The warbled voices began to separate from one another, like oil from water. Groaning, he blinked his eyes like a frog, one and then the other, the harsh operatory light greeting him with a menacing glow. Slowly, the blobs of color before him began to sharpen into focus, taking the form of two random people he had seen briefly before, and his mom, studying him with intensity.
“Welcome back, sleepyhead,” Joyce whispered, giving his hand a gentle squeeze, “how’re you feeling?”
“Mom,” he tried to say, but the sound that came out was a strangled grunt. Huh. Usually he has no problem speaking, but something was in his way. Gauze. Bloody gauze, specifically, was in his way. He gingerly reached a hand up to touch his cheeks, brushing against the damp dressing that was dangling between his lips. Huh. That wasn’t there before.
or
Will gets his wisdom teeth out and lets a few things slip while he's loopy from the anesthesia.

Summary
Will’s voice trails off, and he runs a hand over his face. Mike waits a few moments to see if he’ll say anything else, but when Will doesn’t, he takes a shaky breath and tries to find his own courage.
“And you thought, what?” Mike whispers. “That - that it wouldn’t mean as much to me if it came from you?”
Will flinches. He’s still turned away from Mike, and there’s a desperation in his voice when he whispers back, “Mike, please…”
Or:
After returning to the Wheeler house, Mike finds out the truth about Will’s painting.
