Summary
"How could you use my own commitment issues against me like that?" The two keep dancing, Mike's hands resting on Will's waist and Will's arms placed over Mike's shoulders, staying close to keep up the act for his admirer.
"Maybe it's a sign you should actually work on them," Will chides. "You're gonna run out of people in the city if you keep going like this – I'm surprised you haven't propositioned me yet." Mike knows it's supposed to be a joke, but there's something in Will's voice that makes him think again.
When Mike doesn't respond, Will asks, "Why haven't you?" He wishes he could see the expression on Will's face right now. The question has always had a clear answer, but he doesn't know why it's making him pause now. He shakes himself out of it.
"I actually like having you in my life."
Mike realizes he's in love with Will. Will asks Mike to be the best man in his wedding. Chaos ensues.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
“Well, it was nice meeting you two,” David said. He leaned forward towards Will, and gave him a single, light pat on his head.
“And I’ll see you around,” he said softly.
Will blinked up at him in a daze, eyes wide and cheeks gaining a tint of pink again.
Mike stared, stunned. Did he just touch Will’s hair? Mike was the only one that ever did that!

A) He realizes he's in love with his best friend
B) A popular handsome senior takes interest in said best friend, and he can't stand it- Language:

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
