Summary
Will Byers is perfectly happy with his life.
He has a job he loves at Lantern House Publishing, a department that runs almost entirely on caffeine and stubbornness, and a promotion that has been practically promised for months.
Unfortunately, Will is also an unbonded omega.
Which turns out to matter a lot more than anyone bothered mentioning until the position of Creative Director is suddenly no longer his.
Enter Mike Wheeler: unbonded alpha, lifelong best friend, coworker, occasional problem solver, and apparently the only person in Will's life willing to look at an absurd system and decide to fight it.
The solution should be simple.
Just paperwork. A few appointments. A little participation in Harmony's Bonding Preparation Program.
Nothing complicated. Nothing that should change the relationship they've had for years.
Mike looks at him from across the couch and says two words.
“Use me.”

Summary
“So, I’ve been thinking," Mike throws his head back into the sofa’s head rest. “You know how I talk about girls all the time?”
The pencil in Will’s hand freezes for just a moment, something Mike wouldn’t have been able to tell at all if he wasn’t staring right at Will’s hands to avoid his gaze. “So?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking, right?”
Will looks up, but Mike isn’t looking back at him. He’s picking at a loose thread on the couch cushion. “What, about girls?”
“No,” Mike shakes his head, “about boys."
Will nearly chokes on his tongue. “You’ve been thinking about boys?”
or, mike conducts an uncomfortably elaborate semester-long personal inquiry project on how to be a better straight ally to his gay best friend. for educational reasons only. obviously

Summary
"I really like being like this with you. It feels safe. Does it have to be more complicated than that?"
Will chews his lip and looks between Mike’s eyes. “I guess not. I feel safe with you too.” He laces his fingers behind Mike’s neck.
“I want this, and I don’t care that you’re a boy. You’re just Will to me.”
OR:
Will has never been kissed. Mike realizes he wants to be the one to kiss Will. As summer progresses, Mike discovers through a dangerous amount of sun exposure, a bottle of aloe vera, and a silver necklace that he wants more than just kisses, and maybe he always has.

OR: After years of grappling with his feelings, Mike visits Will in Chicago for a weekend during his junior year of college.
