    Summary

    “It’s not like I don’t drink at college too, you know, I mean, just because I don’t go to frat parties, if you’re worried I’m going to judge you or something—”

    “That’s not what—” Will huffed out a laugh, staring up at the ceiling. He turned around. “I go to gay bars, okay? It’s—just, not your scene. Obviously.”

    Will’s face twisted on that last word, half a grimace. For some reason, it was a punch to the gut. Something defiant rose up within Mike.

    “Well, do you have to be a card-carrying member to get in, or something?” he asked, eyebrows raised. “I mean, a bar’s a bar, right?”

    Will’s face broke into an uncertain smile. “Mike…”

    “I came here for the Will Byers New York experience,” Mike said, earnestly. “Am I going to get it, or what?”

    Mike visits Will in New York and realizes a few things.

    Summary

    William got to his feet and turned around, prayer book clutched to his chest. Michael was standing in the center of the chapel, obviously just come from sparring practice. He was still wearing his dented cuirass, a leather pauldron on his right shoulder. The moonlight through the stained-glass windows painted him in blue and gold.

    “Forgot to leave your armor behind in the gymnasium?” asked William lightly, skirting around him to set the prayer book back in its tabernacle.

    “Something like that,” said Michael. He stepped out of the shaft of light, joining William at the perimeter of the circular room.

    William closed the ornate wooden door of the tabernacle and turned to face him. “How did you know I’d be here?”

    “I know you,” Michael said simply. I love you, he might as well have said, for the way it sent William’s heart skittering inside his chest.

    Michael has been betrothed to the princess since their infancy. But it’s her brother he really wants.

    Summary

    “Hi,” Mike called out faintly, without moving.

    “Jesus.” Will’s voice was relieved. His footsteps drew closer. “Why didn’t you bring your walkie? Everyone’s been—oh.” He was beside him now, silhouetted in the moonlight. “Mike.”

    “Hm?” Mike closed his eyes. He knew the face Will was making right now without having to actually see it—eyes wide, lips parted. Worried.

    Will knelt beside him in the leaves. “When’s the last time you fed?”

    “I don’t…” Mike cracked an eye open. Will was too pretty to lie to. “Yesterday afternoon, I think.”

    “Okay,” Will said. His voice was tight. “It’s gonna be okay.”

    A few moments passed. Will put the back of his hand to Mike’s forehead, and Mike leaned into the touch. This wasn’t so bad, really. He was weak, and everything ached, but at least Will was here.

    “Hey,” Will said, breaking the silence. “Feed from me.”

    Summary

    Richie was another business entirely; loud, brash and crude, but painfully funny, looking at Will’s neutral expression and taking it as a challenge, trying to make him laugh until he puked. Messing up his hair and begging him to just let Richie go to town on it with some kitchen scissors. Poking his sides, or pinching his cheeks with an inflammatory remark right on the tip of his tongue, every time. Calling their campaigns ‘nerd shit-’ but sitting in on their session, attentive to every single action taken, with colorful running commentary during it all. Being with Richie feels like fireworks are bursting right under his skin.

    The melancholy and brevity of a summer romance does not make the time it happened any less bright.

    Summary

    They say that moles are spots marked by your soulmate’s kisses from your past lives.

    Maybe for Will, that’s not too far out of the realm of possibility.
