    Summary

    “Hi,” Will blurts out before he can stop himself, and he can feel his cheeks heat up in embarrassment so quickly it must be unhealthy somehow. “Uh -“

    The guy shuts his phone off and reaches up to his ear to pull out an earbud. He shoots Will a grin, which does not help the whole blushing-crimson thing. “Hey,” he says coolly, and Will admires his composure while he wills the earth to collapse beneath him.

    The guy quirks an eyebrow at Will when he doesn’t look away, then seems to take in his slightly disheveled and paint-stained appearance - he’d had his painting and drawing class just before he’d gone home, and had managed, as he always does, to get paint everywhere - because his smile grows a little softer, a little fonder. His shoulders relax against the bench, and Will lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding. “You get sexiled?”

    misery loves company, especially when the company comes in the form of a cute English major.

    Summary

    Will had climbed up to Mike’s window with a practiced ease, and while he always felt bad about waking Mike up from his much needed sleep, Will needed him, needed his soft and gentle touches, needed to know that Mike was alive and that he could keep Will safe from himself. 

    And now, Will feels more than just safe – he feels content. He’s sitting on the sloped roof of a house he’s known like the back of his hand since he was six with his legs curled up to his stomach, head resting on his knees, as he watches the love of his life blow smoke from his lips.

    will has a nightmare the fall after the world goes back to normal. mike is there for him, always.

    Summary

    The terrible, awful thing about finally getting what he wanted — namely, Mike — is that now he wants more, the selfish creature that he is. When he was younger, he’d been able to convince himself that kissing Mike, just once, would be enough to last him a lifetime. Foolishly, he’d thought that he could relish that single kiss and live a peaceful life, one where Mike was still his friend and nothing changed but his feelings would dissipate.

    Instead, they grew; they’re still growing, Will fears, growing bigger and bigger each time Mike and him get together, because every sound Mike makes when Will kisses him makes Will want to find ten more little gasps and whines and groans, and each time Mike twists their fingers together and pants against his skin Will thinks about how much better it is than the time before.

    will and mike are - something, and will's not entirely sure what. whatever they are, he wants more, but he's not sure if he can have it.

    Summary

    Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.

    “Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.

    “Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”

    Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.
