Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
It's like Will's body moves before he can even process what he’s moving to, like his senses know when he’s near and pull him there before he can realize what he’s doing. His former well gripped want is bleeding though his fingers. He feels as if everyone can see it in the way he blinks, can smell the desire pooling out of his pores.
“—definitely overreacting, I mean, he’s as oblivious as they come!” Robin’s voice cuts through his thoughts.
“I don't know... I think even Steve could have picked up on what was going on in my head,” he squeezes his eyes shut at the onslaught of aftershock anxiety rushing back at the memory.
“I whimpered, Robin!” he pulls his hands to cover his face, to try to ground himself.
“You’re probably right... Steve could have picked up on what was going on,” she’s facing him on the couch, her knees leaning further to press up against his legs as she moves further into his space. “But Mike wouldn’t know sexual electricity if it was shooting from his own dick.”
OR: Will's been in love with Mike Wheeler since before he can remember, it was bound to slip out at some point.

Fast smut read. There's not really a pre-story in it, but I read the fic in like an hour (I'm a slow reader). ⭐7/10⭐

Summary
Mike caps the cup and slides it across the pickup counter to Will, following it up with a wrapped straw and his wrapped lemon loaf immediately after. “Medium iced chai with oat milk and brown sugar syrup, and a lemon loaf for yellow flannel guy!”
Will grabs his straw, shooting a disapproving look at Mike as he carefully unwraps it. “Remind me to never wear this flannel in public again.” He grabs his drink, slipping his straw into it with steady hands.
“Nah, it looks nice on you. Don’t let me stop you, Just Will.” Mike is grinning so hard his face hurts. He’s more awake than he was previously, most of his exhaustion washing away throughout this interaction.
Will sighs, his cheeks going slightly red at Mike’s compliment, bringing his straw to his pink lips and taking a small sip. Mike watches Will’s gaze travel down to Mike’s chest, his eyes stopping on his name tag for only a second before they dip slightly lower. His lips quirk up into a small smile as he swallows his sip of chai. “I like your pin, by the way.”
Or
Mike works at the on-campus coffee shop and Will really likes iced chais.
