Summary
Beside him, someone stirs.
Eddie turns towards it, thinking of sleepovers with the Losers, of Richie knocking on his window at 10pm and crawling into Eddie’s bed when he lets him in.
His eyes adjust. It still takes a second.
“Morning, babe,” says a man, a full-grown adult man, in his fucking bed.
(Or, 14 year old Eddie gets a glimpse into what's coming.)

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

Summary
Does forgetting something means it never happened? It sort of feels like it, but Owens said that the memories are meant to come back, right? Whether he wants them to or not, they’ll start to trickle in until he’s drowning in them. He doesn’t want to remember, of course he doesn’t, but doesn’t he deserve to know what he’s been through as if he’s actually been through it? Even worse, what does it mean if his memories don’t come back? He’s just too weak to handle them, too fragile to know what to do with himself. How long until he forgets everything else? What happens when he forgets himself?

Summary
“And - and we’ll go to Scoops Ahoy and I’ll get you your favourite ice cream.”
This is all starting to suspiciously look very close to a date, but Will brushes it off - it wouldn’t be the first time he’s read too much into things.
Mike starts fidgeting with his hands, when no answer comes.
“You - you know, like a proper date? I know I’ve done something wrong, because you’re not speaking to me, but we haven’t been on one in ages, so. And then, I was hoping - maybe - if it goes well, I was - uh. I was going to ask if I can kiss you again. Properly, I mean. It’s fine if not though!”
Will doesn’t hear anything else Mike might say afterwards, because his brain short-cuts.
or
Mike confesses to Will - then kisses him. They don't talk about it, but maybe they should.

Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.
or
Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
