Summary
Mike was pulled from his slight trance when he felt El wasn’t kissing back. He freaked out a little, maybe she was still asleep and wasn’t even able to register what was going on. He got more agitated when he heard a groan, indicating that maybe she hadn’t even noticed he was there and had been talking in her sleep. His stomach clenched, worried that he’d stepped over the line—
Wait. That… that groan was deep. Like, low-pitched deep.
His voice trembled, anxious for whoever would answer, deeply hoping he hadn’t made a terrible mistake. “...El?”
“El” stirred, pulling the covers off of her and sitting up in bed groggily, but more consciously than before. Mike’s heart was beating fast in his chest, fidgeting with the M&M’s still crumpled up in his pocket as he tried to figure out the shape of whoever he had kissed (probably while asleep! Jesus Christ). His eyes strained once again, hoping to make sense of the shadow in front of him…

Will stays over at El's. Mike is not aware of this.

Summary
If these nights were not guarded by layer upon layer of secret, Henry knew it was the type of thing that Bunny would have great fun telling the others: "Henry, he acts like a saint, but you should see how he is when we’re alone together."

Summary
"You would let me kill you," Henry says, not a question, not a statement, but an order.
"Yes," Bunny says, breathless. "Yes, I would."

a super interesting study in henry/bunny’s relationship. pretty loyal to the book, a compelling, albeit dark theory on how henry and bunny’s relationship came to be.

Summary
When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.
Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."
He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?
