Summary
Whatever it is Will is looking for, he seems to find, the corners of his mouth slowly turning upwards as he looks out the driver’s side window, past Mike’s head, before looking right back at him.
“You know,” Will says, a little too evenly, “You parked next to Skull Rock.”
And.
Mike’s breath hitches.
Oh, so it’s like that then.It’s a rainy summer’s day when Mike kisses Will in (sort of) his car.

Summary
Here's the thing. If you pulled out the American-English dictionary; hidden somewhere under Mike’s bed, and asked him to describe himself with one hundred different words, brave would be the last one on his list.
But their knees are touching, and Mike is suddenly lightly grasping Will’s wrists, holding him, and Mike can’t even see Will’s eyes in this stupidly dark coat closet, but Mike's eyes have adjusted well enough to see the twinge of color on his cheeks, the intent anticipation of his jaw. So Mike does something he wouldn’t.
He’s brave about it.“If I,” Mike licks his lips, voice low like he doesn’t want to scare Will off. Will doesn’t take his eyes off him, “If I wanted to kiss you on purpose this time, would you let me?”
Mike and Will accidentally kiss while folding laundry together. Mike is feeling less than normal about it.

Summary
“If you’re done ogling my son, why don’t you aim at the target,” Hopper says with forced casualness, like he’s not actively melting Mike’s brain from embarrassment. He was just admiring his friend! Who has muscles now!! That’s a completely normal guy thing to do, if all the buff men in his dad’s Men’s Club magazines are anything to go by.
“Not. Ogling,” Mike grits out as Hopper pushes his elbows down not-so-gently. “And would you stop manhandling me?” He wishes Will were the one teaching him instead. He wouldn’t mind Will’s hands on-
Alarms blare in his head. ABORT ABORT.
Or: Mike Wheeler experiences the five stages of grief, gay panic, and death by emotional vulnerability (the horror!!)

Summary
“It’s s’posed to be a bowl!” tears roll down his face now.
He laughs, “you don’t like my hair?”
“I’m sorry—I didn’t mean it. I really love it. It’s just that you're old and different now, it’s scary,” his hands scrunch into Will’s shirt.
“Okay. You’re very drunk,” he pushes Mike off of him gently. Mike’s arms clumsily reach out in an attempt to hold him again. “You know you shouldn’t compliment a gay guy like that. He might get the wrong idea.”
Mike furrows his brows at him. If he was sober, Mike would be able to pick up the sarcasm in his voice, but right now his brain is functioning at an all time low. “Good thing I’m gay then. That’s the idea I want them to have.”or
Will hasn't talked to Mike for two years. He's happily living his life at college in San Diego. Max's dad just so happens to have a beach house in the same place. So she brings them all on vacation.
Problems arise when Mike drunkly comes out to him. Why should that matter to Will though? He's over Mike.Tittle is a lyric from 'Actor' by Conan Gray
