    Summary

    Technically, he doesn’t know this is Mike’s daughter, because she hasn’t even spoken yet. Also because the last time he saw her she was a two-year-old in a picture Mike had in his wallet. So he has an obligation to act normal, because even if it is her, she’s obviously not here to sell Girl Scout cookies if her panicked expression is anything to go by.

     
    Or: Mike has been avoiding Will’s calls for fifteen years. When his daughter shows up at Will’s apartment with a box full of letters, Will finds out why.

    Summary

    “That’s because she loves you.” Mike tells him “And she thinks you have a very lickable face.” he adds, teasingly.
    “Does she?” Will asks, eyebrows raised “Or do you?” he teases, in a moment of bravery.
    “You do know what they say…” Mike shrugs, before locking his eyes with Will's hazel ones “Like father, like daughter.” he tells him, boldly.
    Will's face goes bright pink at the statement.
    God, how is he surviving this at all?

    OR

    Mike and Will rescue a little kitten from the rain. It leads to a lot of wondering, hoping, bickering and falling in love.

    Summary

    They jumped apart. The sudden sound left them suspended, eyes wide, hearts hammering. Mike searched Will’s face, desperate for a flicker, a hint, anything that said he wasn’t imagining it. That he felt the same.

    OR

    A drunken game of truth or dare leads to a first kiss.

    Summary

    The juice container nearly slips from Mike’s hands the moment the truth hits him hard and cold, like a bucket of ice straight to the spine, the hairs on the back of his neck rising unpleasantly. He’s remembering Will.

    Not the kitchen Will, not the real-life Will in front of him, but the Will from his dream. Which means it wasn’t an actual nightmare. Not even close.

    “Are you okay?” Will asks softly, suddenly right beside him at the fridge.

    or; Mike wakes up from a dream he can’t fully remember. At first it feels like a nightmare, but soon hands, whispers, and kisses start to flicker through his mind and suddenly, Mike realizes he might be completely, hopelessly into his best friend Will.
