Summary
“You’ll be an amazing dad, Mike. I really want this too.” Will put his hand on top of where Mike’s hand rested on his thigh, interlocking their fingers. “I think part of me always wanted this, but it just never seemed possible. I mean… The logistics are going to be a nightmare, figuring out what route we want to take, but….” he trailed off.
“We’ll figure it out. We always do.” Mike used the tone of voice he always did when he was reassuring Will about something. He thought back to when they were thirteen, when Mike held his hand and told him he was like a super spy. Looking back now, he couldn't even believe that they went so many years not letting themselves see how in love they were with each other.
“Whatever route we choose,” Mike said, bringing Will’s hand toward him to kiss it, “I just hope they have your eyes. My sorcerer.”
Or,
Will and Mike become parents! Wanted to post this in time for Will's birthday week celebration! Day 1 prompt: love ♡

Summary
“Why do you laugh?” Mike the Brave asked. The question was utterly sincere. He could not fathom the source of the mockery, of why Mike would be laughing at his display of fealty.
Mike spluttered, his face flushing. “I—It’s just… you only got him a book off the shelf? That’s your big ‘honour to serve’ moment? It’s just… a book.” He gestured vaguely, defensively, at the book, embarrassed.
Will the Wise’s lips curved into a smile tinged with sorrow. He looked from the flustered boy to his own beloved protector, his hand reaching up to stroke his Paladin’s cheek.
“He has crossed realms for me,” Will the Wise said, his melodic voice filling the cottage. “He has faced beasts and shadows and the silence of the abyss. He would do anything for me, and I for him. The grand quests are written in songs and psalms, sung by revellers around fires and bards in the inn. But the story of us… it is written in these small things. In a fetched book, a mended cloak, a tender kiss in the dawn light.” He looked directly at the younger Mike, his gaze piercingly kind. “We like to remind each other of our affections. In every possible way. There is no deed too small to be an act of love.”

Summary
Mike barely makes it through finals, and after that, he crashes. Literally, his car is totaled, which means that he and Will are going to be stuck in New York City for the holidays. It isn’t the worst thing for him because he wasn’t sure how he was supposed to pretend to be a normal human being for two weeks straight, but Mike knows Will was looking forward to seeing his family this year.
This is probably the longest Will has ever been separated from his family in, well, ever. Mike wouldn’t be surprised if Joyce didn’t make the drive herself just to make sure he hadn’t murdered her boy yet.
But it also means they get to go Christmas tree shopping for the first time together.
It’s cold outside, but the sun is peeking out from between the clouds. He can see his breath on the wind, and Will has stuffed one of his hands in his coat pocket so he can keep it warm for him while Mike’s other hand is tucked into his own pocket with a hand warmer.
“It’s just up the block,” Will grins at him, dragging him along as his steps pick up, “You’re going to love it.”
Mike nods, words still something that won’t come easily to him these days, “Cool.”
