Summary
“I wouldn't be able to do what you did,” Mike's words fall between them.
“And you don't have to,” Will says.
“Will,” Mike closes his eyes. His eyelashes flutter. “Hear me.”or: Nothing happened in a way Will wanted; yet Mike is here trying to say something he's been soundlessly screaming about for months. It's time to be honest one last time.

Summary
The car door opened, dome light flicking on, casting a harsh yellow glow. Will and Mike were looking at each other with panicked stares, dread etched on their features. Hopper stared, the image conflicting with the silhouettes he saw earlier, pressed close against each other. The look on their faces finally tipped Hopper off.
He’d just caught something he definitely wasn't supposed to catch, something no one was ever supposed to catch, and pieces were falling into place.
Or
On a slow patrol night, Hopper catches Will and Mike parked on the side on road, making out in Mike's car. His reaction is far different than Will expects, and together they confront what it would mean to not date in secret.Bookmarked by nesssa

Summary
“I-“, he paused and stared as far away from her as possible. It was a nice June morning. A little bird was sat right outside their living room window, singing loudly into the day.
Karen squinted. “Ha, look, it’s a little Robin. Like Nancy’s new friend.” Mike rolled his eyes.

Summary
It happens when he gets a phone call. It’s around 10:30 at night. El is asleep on the couch, and Jim is nearly there himself when the phone starts to ring. He picks it up, clearing the sleep from his throat. "Hello?"
“Oh thank god,” He hears Nancy sigh. The relief is nearly palpable through the phone. “It’s Mike."
Goddammit.

In the heat of your electric touch by psychotic_fangirl369

Summary
“Feels nice…”
Will froze. Absolutely froze.
His hand was buried in Mike Wheeler’s hair. Mike - who was practically draped over him now - looked blissful. Borderline euphoric. His eyes had fluttered half-shut. There was a tiny, content smile on his lips.
Will stared down at him, heart doing somersaults.
“Uh,” Will said intelligently.
Mike made another sound - soft, almost dreamy - and nudged Will’s hand, encouraging, needy without even realising it.
Will’s brain short-circuited.
💕💕💕💕
The first time Will runs his fingers through Mike’s hair, it’s an accident.
The second time… maybe not so much.
Before long, Mike is leaning into every touch, Will is desperately trying not to make it weird, and the Party is very, very done with them.

Summary
Mike had always been… affectionate with Will.
An arm slung casually around his shoulders, a hand resting on his knee, sitting just that bit closer than necessary on the sofa. It was the sort of closeness that had always been there - natural, unthinking - woven into the rhythm of their friendship like it had existed before either of them knew how to name it.
They were best friends. They’d been best friends for years. That kind of history broke down boundaries. It made things easy, familiar. It made sense that they didn’t think twice about the small touches, the quiet moments that other people might mistake for something else.
But still - Mike touched Will more than he touched anyone else.
And it was driving Will absolutely mad.
💕💕💕💕
For years, Will told himself that Mike’s touch didn’t mean anything. That best friends just sit close, just hold on, just care. But one quiet evening in the basement proves that maybe, just maybe, he was wrong.

Summary
“Don’t go,” she pleaded, her voice scarcely more than a whisper. “Please, Mike. Don’t go.”
Mike shifted nervously in his seat. This bike was fucking uncomfortable.
He hesitated a moment, not sure he could trust his voice. But he managed to croak out those three words anyway.
“I can’t stay.”
He looked back to his mom and Holly, still standing in the doorway, unmoving.
And with that, he kicked his foot onto the pedal and cycled away.
Or, the one where Mike finds a home in his best friend's house.

Summary
“You wrote to me.” It’s not a question.
“Yeah, I – er, I mean. No.” The letters on the bed glare up at him, shaking their head in their obviousness.
“Which is it?” Will asks, and he’s nervous. Is he nervous? Mike wonders suddenly, because if anything, the boy looks fucking cocksure right now, with that half-hidden sort of grin at the corner of his mouth. And Mike is not turned on by it at all. Obviously. Because he is terrified.
“I wrote them, I just er, I never sent them.”
“No shit,” Will laughs, openly this time, taking a step closer to the bed. Mike forgets how to breathe. He can smell the fucking rain now, mixed with the scent of Will’s skin, and his shampoo, and the same fucking laundry detergent Joyce has used since they were in kindergarden. And Mike knows, with absolute certainty, he’s about to pass out.

Summary
“Are you always like this?” Zoro asks sometime between one day and another, the skin on his nose flaking from the sunburn as they drift on the open sea.
“Like what,” Luffy says, bored out of his mind, his legs thrown on his crewmate’s lap. He picks at his ear, his hat covering his upper face so he doesn’t end up with a dumb itchy nose like Zoro.
A finger taps his ankle. “Like this. Touchy.”
“I guess,” Luffy says, tipping back his hat so he can look at his swordsman. He grins at him and his raised brow. “Never thought about it.” He giggles and tucks his heels into the soft part of Zoro’s thighs.
Zoro hums, but doesn’t do anything else, simply resigned to yet another thing in his life. They already knew each other for a few days.
(Or: an exploration of the meaning of touch, by Monkey D. Luffy.)

Summary
Four gods, a handful of dead kings, the ghost of an oracle, and now the light of a dying star. One human body. Noctis kneels on the floor of the keep, collapsed forward with his forehead resting on the cool concrete for precious minutes, breathing labored and keening some high pitched, terrible sound. He wants to feel a hand on his shoulder and for someone to pull him away from the hurricane-force of the magic just at his back, he wants his teeth to stop ringing like his whole jaw’s a tuning fork.
But it doesn’t. And no one does.
Or, accepting boons from the gods comes with consequences. Noctis drifts further away. Gladio, Prompto, and Ignis can only watch.
