    Summary

    “First time?”

    Will's face heats up. He doesn’t know why he cares so much about not looking like a fool in front of this man. “Not my first time smoking, just… buying. My friends always get it for me.”

    Mike leans back on the couch, thighs spreading to place his worn-out backpack between them. Will traces the outline of them underneath the bagginess of his jeans.

    “Oh, do they? Looks like someone’s used to the princess treatment.” Mike teases, glinting pupils a contrast to his dark eyeliner.

    Oblivious and unexpecting, Will has his first encounter buying weed; ergo, his first encounter with Mike Wheeler. But what he really doesn't expect is the way Mike stares at Will, intrigued eyes over the joint in his mouth. Nor the way Will later decides he needs to have him.

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.

    Summary

    “That’s not my favorite.”

    “Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”

    Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.

    “Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”

    Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.

    Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.

    Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”

    Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

    Summary

    “I didn’t tell Myra I even applied to come here. I don’t really know why, I just… I had to, you know? It felt like… it was my last chance.”

    “Last chance for what?”

    “I don’t even know, that’s the fucked-up part. To do something, I guess. To do anything.” He turns to Richie. “Pretty stupid, right?”

    “No,” Richie murmurs. “I don’t think so.”
    ---
    Or: Richie and Eddie meet while studying abroad, featuring drinking games, bad dancing, things getting lost in translation, personalized playlists, leather jackets, photo shoots in ancient ruins, karaoke, and one (1) gay bar.
