Summary
Will can sense the undercurrent of doubt shivering beneath the feigned disinterest as Mike finally speaks up: “Honestly, Max, I feel like it’s weirder to try to convince my ex that I’m a good kisser. I know my skillset.”
The end of his sentence is cut off by an uproarious fit of giggles from the couch as El begins to nearly cry with laughter.
___
a tipsy game of truth or dare gets awkward. mike and will have a hands-on lesson about the science of kissing.

Summary
Billy had completely lost control, slamming Mike hard against the wall. Unfortunately, an metal electrical junction box was mounted right there. The sharp corner caught him directly in the eye.
He's a writer. No. He used to be a writer.

Summary
Fire sparks beneath the long sleeve he’s wearing as their arms touch. Will lifts the beers with ease into his arms, carrying them like they weighed nothing, like they hadn’t almost just ripped Mike’s weak gangly arms clean off.
He didn’t need to be able to see through Will’s blue flannel to know his bicep was flexed. Mike had spent far too much time looking at Will’s physique and even longer thinking about it. Will filled out his shirts, the fabric tighter around his chest and arms than his waist. He was taller too. Not as tall as Mike, but tall enough to make a difference.
Mike felt as though his body had forgotten to grow muscle and instead just grew more bone. He was tall and spindly, knees always knocking into walls and table legs, arms longer than he remembered them being, causing him to accidentally swing his hand into shelves and cabinets.
He was used to comparing his body to his friends - Lucas’ mostly. But that’s not how it was with Will. Mike wasn’t comparing, he was admiring. Sure, he wouldn’t mind looking like Will did, but he was more entranced by him than anything.
OR: The party gets drunk at the Quarry together!

Summary
"This was a mistake. A HUGE mistake. Now any time Will wanted ANYTHING - his movie choice on the TV, the last slice of pizza (as if Mike wasn't going to let him have it anyway), a drink from the damn fridge, he did it. Those eyes that Mike had taught him to satisfy his craving, to make Will happy. It was endearing and agonizing. I mean, really, was it necessary?
No. Absolutely not.
But whose fault was it that he was doing it in the first place? Mike didn't just teach him, no, that wasn't the only problem. It was about Will's precision, his skill. Was it effective?
Yes. Devastatingly so."
When Mike teaches Will how to do his signature puppy dog eyes in a moment of weakness, he realizes fairly quickly that he made a big, big mistake. Aka my version of an 'I hope Will likes Mike back' fic where Mike tries to bond with Will and ruins his own life when Will keeps getting closer until he can't take it.
