    Summary

    Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”

    Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”

    Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”

    Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”

    --

    Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.

    Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    “Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”

    Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”

    Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.

    [...]

    “He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.

    “Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."

    Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.

    Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.

    Summary

    Will Byers doesn’t consider himself brave.
    He considers himself a HD student with a low tolerance for vodka and a talent for leaving early. But bravery, it turns out, isn’t always loud. Sometimes it's handed out like permission slips at crowded college parties: permission to drink too much vodka, to flirt badly, and take a hit from someone else’s cola flavoured vape.

    Or; College AU, Will "Ivy League" Byers/Mike "Teenage Dirtbag" Wheeler
