Summary
“’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.
“Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.
“Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”
It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.
.........
Or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.

Summary
The world is a beautiful, powerful, terrifying beast. Mike never fails to feel in awe when he sees proof of just how giant and formidable it’s capable of being, and in moments like these, he savors feeling comparatively small, miniscule in the face of everything else.
So many things feel so unimportant when staring down a natural monster.

Summary
Sometimes, things feel normal again. Will's friends smile and laugh and make him feel like his world isn't crashing down around him every second of the day. He doesn't feel like a mistake. He can pretend that living with Mike Wheeler isn't eating him up from the inside out. The normal lets him breathe, lets him pretend they're not in very real danger.
Mike seems to have a habit of ruining that feeling.
It's only fair that Will let's him know what that's like.Mike is jealous Will didn't tell him about his first kiss, or his supposed 'girlfriend'. Mike is also a jealous idiot who won't let Will explain he hasn't had either of those things.

Summary
“So,” Will prompts, when Mike still doesn’t offer up any information on the mysterious stack of papers tucked under his arm. “Are you having a party?”
“Oh, no,” Mike says, sounding like it might be the first time ever in his life that he is genuinely disappointed about this fact. He shifts and grabs the stack of flyers, sort of waving them through the air. “These are just for this game I play?” The inflection on the end of what should be a statement makes it sound more like a hesitant question.
“And in this one, you act like you’re… vampires?”
Or: To get out of the sexual rut he’s stuck in, Popular!Will gets dared to ask out Nerd!Mike and ends up attending a Vampire the Masquerade LARP where they proceed to put the ‘role-play’ into ‘live action role-play.’
