Summary
Before he can stop it, his hands are slammed up against the headboard behind him. He whips his head towards them, they’re suspended by nothing, but he can’t move them an inch. He tugs at them, tries to pull them free from whatever invisible force is holding them there.
“You always call me a sorcerer, and now you’re shocked?”
His eyes slide to where Will is kneeling on the bed in front of him, a hand open at his side, blood trickling from his nose.
OR
Will uses his powers on Mike and they fuck crazy style.

Summary
"What exactly are you calling for, Nancy?"
There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."
Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"
"They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"
"Yeah, I heard. What about…"
"Will, there's no one else. I've tried."
"Nancy, I can't… I can't just—"
"Please. I wouldn't be asking if there was another option."
Will bit the inside of his cheek. "Okay."
Or: Mike is on house arrest for 6 months and has no choice but to stay with Will, even though they haven't spoken in three years.

Summary
In which Mike follows Will to New York University for completely normal and emotionally healthy reasons, and then they try drinking together for the first time and Mike realizes pretty quickly that there were other latent feelings involved in his decision. Featuring truly Gen X levels of casual alcohol use, cranky hours at the Met, laundry in a haunted basement, a Psychedelic Furs concert, the gang reuniting for a party at Jonathan’s apartment, one scary incident reflecting the grittier realities of late 80s NYC, love confessions obviously, and rather a lot of hickeys. (And they were roommates!)

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.

“I said anything.” Mike laughed. “Come on, you can do better than that. Make me… drink water out of a bowl, or something.”
“Like a dog?”
It was meant to be a joke, but Mike practically short-circuited, his breath hitching as his cheeks flushed pink. Oh my god, he really—
“Okay.” Will focused his gaze intently on Mike, as if he was actually using Jedi mind control powers. “You want… to get on your hands and knees.”
Mike didn’t break eye contact as he slid off the couch and settled onto the hardwood on all fours, peering up at Will as he patiently waited for instruction.
Fuck. This game was going to kill him.
