    Summary

    They'd changed in front of each other a hundred times. This was— what was this? Why was his brain doing this? Will got a glass of juice. Will existed in a kitchen without a shirt on. This was not an event. This was not something that required— whatever this was.

    Mike spun to the other side of his bed, smacked his pillow, and dropped his head to it with a thud. Dug his fingernails into his palm.

    Do you ever wish—

    Wish what?

    or Mike Wheeler both knows exactly what is going on with Will and also has no fucking idea

    Summary

    "Do you think it's real?" Mike asks.
    Will turns to look at him. "What?"
    "The way they show it. Kissing." Mike is staring at the screen, jaw tight. "Movies make it look—I don't know. Transcendent." He half-laughs. Unconvincing. "Like it changes you. Like you'd die if you couldn't have it. You think it's ever actually like that?"

    Mike asks Will to help him practice kissing. Will says yes.

    Summary

    Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”

    Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”

    Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”

    Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”

    --

    Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.

    Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.
