    Summary

    Eddie's wearing a suit. Dark blue and loose-cut, or maybe it’s just too big. She has a champagne colored ribbed top under it, boat necked. Shiny black horsebit loafers. A slouchy purse is clutched hard in her left hand, her phone in her right, tapping away. Possibly crafting another impatient text to Richie asking what's taking so long. She still has the haircut, looks like she hasn't missed any appointments – it's as short as ever.

    Her artless beauty is evident in how her face relaxes into a dimpled smile when she spots Richie. Warm brown eyes catch and hold her gaze, making it impossible not to smile back. Richie notes the bags under her eyes. No makeup, at least not as far as she can tell.

    “Is that what you're wearing?” Richie asks as soon as she's within earshot.

    Eddie's smile drops and she looks down at her ensemble. “Yeah. Wait, why?”

    “No, nothing.” If Richie had seen her from behind she might have briefly mistaken her for a man, albeit a very small and very cute man. Eddie's a lot shorter, wearing flats when Richie's in heels. Richie's insides turn with unease and she has to bite her tongue not to say it – You look gay.

    Summary

    "It'll be like... what regular people do."

    Mike chews his lip, squinting. "And what do regular people do again?"

    Rolling his eyes, Will's expression turns wry, a blush turning tan skin into a sun-kissed, irresistible shade of pink. He leans forward into Mike's space, perhaps without even realising, his sudden giddy demeanour rendering Mike weak in his arms, spreading all the way to the tips of his fingers in waves.

    "They casually date."

    A second of silence. "Casually."

    Will nods slowly. "Casually."

    aka, will and mike, slightly codependent roommates and best friends, enter into a casual relationship after discovering they had crushes on each other when they were younger. to preserve their reformed friendship, will says they need to "take it slow", and comes up with both spoken and unspoken rules to abide by, which should be simple for mike to follow... right?

    the only problem is that mike is sure it's only a matter of time before his runaway mouth confesses the true depth and length of his feelings. are rules bound to be broken, or is mike yet to understand why will made them in the first place?
