Will’s been snippy and temperamental lately—even to Mike. Hopefully it’s just because midterms are coming up… right?

Summary
"The movie not interesting?" Mike questions, his fingers resuming their teasing.
"Oh, shush. I know you're not really paying attention to it either," Will laughs, poking Mike's cheek.
"You're right. I'm not." The corner of Mike's mouth quirks up as he admits it.
"Yeah? What are you paying attention to?"
An afternoon basement blow job at Will's direction.

"You like D&D?" Mike asks, lifting his gaze to the guy—Will.
"Oh, yeah. I kinda love it. I played it a lot in elementary and middle school," Will smiles, and it feels like more words than he's said to him combined throughout the night. "I think you're the first person I've met that's recognized the symbol on my card."
"Well, funny enough, I also liked playing it in elementary and middle, too. I was a paladin though."
Mike works as a server at IHOP and Will becomes one of his regulars.

Summary
“Hey, guys,” Will forced out, loud enough for the others to quiet down and their focus turning to him. “Um, there’s a cover band performing tonight at The Hideout. They’re gonna cover The Clash. Did any of you want to go?”
They all exchanged looks with each other, and Will felt his heart start to race.
Swingset love never dies

Summary
“You… um, smoke?” Will asks before he can stop himself, swallowing as he watches a boy lean against the dusty, cracking brick wall.
Will doesn’t know much about the boy, except that his name is Mike and his father is the pastor.
“What?” He replies, pulling the cigarette from his lips and lightly blowing the smoke from his mouth. “Just because my dad is the pastor, you think I can’t enjoy a cigarette?
OR:
Will Byers is no stranger to religious guilt. He carries it everywhere he goes, and it’s starting to weigh him down.
When he meets Mike Wheeler, the pastor’s son, he realizes there is more to life than just fearing God, and it’s much scarier.

Summary
Feeling flooded back into his body. His head throbbed mercilessly, skull heavy and aching. The light overhead scorched his eyes, forcing them to squint against the brightness. It didn't help that the world tilted again, spinning just as it had earlier that day, colors bleeding into one another as shapes warped and bent unnaturally.
His tongue felt thick. Uncooperative. His lips numb and sluggish. Blurred shapes crowded into his periphery. Darkness pressed in at the edges of his vision.
And then there was nothing.
OR; Will gets a concussion after hitting his head during The Crawl and Mike looks after him.

Summary
r/DnD
u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]
Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

Summary
“You should’ve seen the way you ran in here, man. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you move so fast.” His roommate takes a long pull of the joint dangling in his fingers. “You’re fuckin’ whipped, bro.”
Mike knows he looks stupid, unable to control the way his eyebrows furrow and his lips curl in complete confusion. Then his roommate rolls his eyes and makes a gesture like he’s cracking a whip, complete with sound effect. His cheeks heat up, the realization suddenly dawning on him.
He thinks Mike was on the phone to his girlfriend.
He thinks Mike has a girlfriend.
He thinks that Will is Mike’s girlfriend.
Everyone at college thinks Mike has a girlfriend. There's just one problem. The 'girlfriend' in question is Will Byers. Mike's best friend. Platonic with a capital P. He's so screwed.
