    Summary

    The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.

    When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.

    “Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”

    Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

    ---------------

    Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Wherein Mike believes he’s being obvious, Will doesn’t know what he believes, and the pair of them could use a lesson or two in effective communication. Somehow all of this has both nothing and everything to do with five years' worth of school dances.

    Summary

    The body of a Prince was not like anyone’s. His hand only ever held others in a firm handshake, and rarely without gloves. Sometimes he would raise the delicate hands of noble ladies to his lips for a brief kiss, but it was all out of propriety. He rarely touched others, but what was even rarer was others touching him. The only ones who dared were his knights, and even they only smacked his shoulder or patted his back in friendly roughhousing. Gripping each other’s arms before battle was the most heartfelt touch they exchanged. Lingering soft touches were not done. Any lingering touch on his person could be interpreted as political movements. After all, Arthur’s body wasn’t his own. It never had been. He was Camelot’s first and foremost. Even above his own needs and wants.

    After another moment’s pause, Merlin set down the jug and moved the chair beside Arthur’s. He sat down, but quickly repositioned himself so that his legs were underneath him, with his body leaning against the arm of the chair. Arthur couldn’t help the smile that he hid behind his goblet. Only Merlin would refuse to even sit properly. For a dangerous second, Arthur imagined sharing his chair with Merlin and how improper that would be, before he focused himself again.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Their relationship had been pretty amazing. All of their friends talked about them as if they were the most perfect couple and both Harry and Draco just laughed and gave each other knowing looks. The secret they shared, about how they'd started it off in pretend, was still their secret. Eventually, when Harry had discussed it with Pansy, she'd claimed that she hadn't believed it to be pretend in the slightest bit. To her, they'd always been together.

    He did get briefly distracted halfway through the feast, when there was a brief respite in the constant barrage of food for Gideon to perform his revised version of the song. About ten minutes in, Merlin realized in dawning outrage that the wise old man Gideon kept singing about was meant to be him. Arthur was leaning on his hand against the table trying not to laugh. Merlin glared at him.

    Merlin figures out why Arthur manhandles him so much. Arthur himself is a little slower on the uptake.

    Summary

    Arthur is cursed to obey Merlin’s orders.

    Obviously this has very little impact on their lives, since no servant would ever dare give orders to a prince.

    Summary

    They never talk about it.

    Not the late nights, not how silence has gotten less and less common between them. They joke now— if you can call it that. Soft quips between roaming hands, cut off by sharp inhales.

    Summary

    [part 1 of the series]
    -
    Will scoffs, and James expects him to stay quiet, but it leads into a defeated sigh as he stares at the ceiling. “I just feel so fucking drained.”

    James turns to look at the man, thin paper creasing in his fingertips as he licks at the seal. “Look, we can talk about it if you want to, instead of just smoking yourself into oblivion.”

    Summary

    He stumbles to the bathroom, eyes burning, fingertips buzzing. The ground tilts beneath his feet, and he catches himself on the wall before forcing his body through the door. He locks it behind him.

    “What’s wrong with me?” he splutters to no one, his palms digging into the hard tile of the sink counter.

    Through the pounding in his head, he pries his eyes open, glaring at his image in the mirror.

    It shatters.

    “I don’t have anything, if that’s what you’re looking for,” Theo says. “I’m clean.”

    (Two years after Amsterdam Boris shows up on Theo’s doorstep in New York and he hasn’t had a hit in twenty-four hours.)
