Summary
Sometimes, things feel normal again. Will's friends smile and laugh and make him feel like his world isn't crashing down around him every second of the day. He doesn't feel like a mistake. He can pretend that living with Mike Wheeler isn't eating him up from the inside out. The normal lets him breathe, lets him pretend they're not in very real danger.
Mike seems to have a habit of ruining that feeling.
It's only fair that Will let's him know what that's like.Mike is jealous Will didn't tell him about his first kiss, or his supposed 'girlfriend'. Mike is also a jealous idiot who won't let Will explain he hasn't had either of those things.

Summary
“So,” Will prompts, when Mike still doesn’t offer up any information on the mysterious stack of papers tucked under his arm. “Are you having a party?”
“Oh, no,” Mike says, sounding like it might be the first time ever in his life that he is genuinely disappointed about this fact. He shifts and grabs the stack of flyers, sort of waving them through the air. “These are just for this game I play?” The inflection on the end of what should be a statement makes it sound more like a hesitant question.
“And in this one, you act like you’re… vampires?”
Or: To get out of the sexual rut he’s stuck in, Popular!Will gets dared to ask out Nerd!Mike and ends up attending a Vampire the Masquerade LARP where they proceed to put the ‘role-play’ into ‘live action role-play.’

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

“Can I pull you for a chat?” Mike speaks confidently into Will’s ear.
Will pulls back in shock, glancing behind his back to make sure that it’s him that Mike is talking to.
“Me?” Will clarifies. “Like, a… chat?”
“Yes, Will. You,” Mike smiles and reaches his hand out to help Will down.
OR:
