Summary
“No,” Mike says forcefully, and then, with a frustrated sound, “I mean- yes, I don’t know. What I mean is, it’s bullshit that you had to deal with that, and it’s bullshit that you have to deal with-” here he gestures wildly to, Will assumes, the general shitshow that their lives have become, “all of this, and I just…” he sighs, and lets his hand fall to rest on top of Will’s. The contact, the casualness with which he initiates it, surprises Will so much that he stops trying to strangle his pinky finger with the couch thread. “You should have the things you want,” Mike says, squeezing Will’s hand.

Summary
He looks up at him, eyebrows drawn together. “Do you not love her?”
Mike shrinks back. “What?”
He hadn’t meant to say it. He wouldn’t have, if he’d stopped to think about it for half a second. But it’s too late to take it back, and he can’t breathe until he knows the answer, and he looks at him resolutely and says, “Do you only love her because of what I said?”
Something darkens on Mike’s face, twisting it into a shape Will’s never seen. “Get out.”
It’s not a no.
or: Mike and Will share a room, and Mike finds out the truth about the painting.

Summary
Max clears her throat. “Are you going to get to the part where you tell us what you want, or are you going to keep waxing poetic about Will’s emotions?”
“Fuck you,” Mike grumbles. “I think we should have a Valentine’s Day party. For Will.”
Dustin blinks. “You’re concerned about Will feeling sad because of the romantic connotations of Valentine’s Day and your big solution is to draw more attention to Valentine’s Day?”
“Just listen!” Mike yelps.
In which Will is sad, and Mike has a plan to fix it. Platonically, of course.

Summary
Mike’s gotta be cursed.
It was fine. For the first time in ages, Mike’s life seemed to be on an upward trajectory instead of plummeting downwards. College had, in some way, fixed things. Fixed Mike. He didn’t even feel the need to dissect what exactly had made his early teenage years so horrifying.
But like a curse, it’s all come back.
aka mike figures out his sexuality in the worst way possible, but as always, will is there to help. in more ways than one.

Summary
“You said I was bad at managing my time between my girlfriend and my best friend but you’re basically doing the same thing.”
“Girlfriend?!” Will spits out, thoroughly shell-shocked.
“I don’t get it! You could’ve told me you had a crush on someone, I would’ve—and when did you ever talk to Robin? You move to California and all of a sudden you’ve got all these girls hanging off of you and you’re interested in older girls—“ Mike’s voice embarrassingly cracks. He decides to quit while he’s ahead before he delves into the forbidden.
In the wake of the apocalypse, Mike and Will find their way to each other.
