Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

Summary
Mike didn’t think there was anything else that more perfectly captured the magic of Christmas than this: ice skating beneath a glittering tree, next to a beautiful boy, hand-in-hand. The endless strings of lights reflected in Will’s eyes, creating a kaleidoscope of colors. In the distance, an old Hollywood singer crooned about holding the one you love close in front of the fire on Christmas Eve. Typical.
Mike Wheeler takes it upon himself to give his friends a Christmas they'll never forget. However, Christmastime is rather difficult to navigate when you're constantly trying to hide the fact that you're hopelessly in love with your best friend.

Summary
Mike smiles. “I thought we could do your assignment tonight”, he starts quietly. “Because I have a similar assignment, and we could, like, get both of our assignments done today so we could have the evening off tomorrow.” He sounds so very earnest.
“Yeah, sure”, Will nods. “What’s tomorrow?” He knows Mike wouldn’t have explicitly said something about an evening off the next day if there wasn’t something he had planned or wanted to do.
Mike’s ears are turning a bit pink. “Our professor told us earlier that tomorrow would be a great night to go stargazing because there’s supposed to be a shit ton of shooting stars. And I thought because you like the stars and stuff, that we could go out to the field behind the art building and watch them.”
Mike is shyly rubbing his neck and doesn’t really look Will in the eyes until he’s finished speaking in that soft voice their friends called the ‘Will Voice’.

Summary
The idea was laughable as much as it wanted to make Will cry. He wanted nothing more than for Mike to know the way his heart ached when he looked at him. He wanted to bundle up all of these feelings, all of the words he wished to say, and kiss them into Mike’s mouth; he hoped they’d leave an imprint there, and inspire Mike to tell him that he’s felt the same way for a while now, too.
And while recently he’s learned to accept the situation for what it was, something weird was happening simultaneously. Something he couldn’t quite tell if he was looking too much into, if he was making connections between things that weren’t really there. Which was why Will believed that he might be going crazy, and why it’s been so hard to believe that what he wanted was truly untouchable.
OR;
The one where Will realizes his unfathomable crush on Mike just might not be as unrequited as he thinks it is.

Summary
Will was not expecting an ambush.
Lucas wiggled his eyebrows at him, deeply unsubtle. “Soooo?”
Will blinked. His mouth was dry. “What about me and Mike?”
Lucas groaned loudly, flopping backward into a pile of clothes. “Oh, come on, man. You two are clearly in love with each other.”
Dustin whipped around to jab him in the ribs. “Dude! I thought we were going to play it cool?!”
Lucas elbowed him back without missing a beat. “We are playing it cool!”
💕💕💕💕
Mike and Will have always been close. Close enough that their friends start noticing the soft voices, the gentle smiles, the way Mike only ever seems to be gentle with Will.
A gum-chewing experiment, a handful of soft moments, and one unexpected downpour later… they finally admit it.
