“Have sex.”
“Right. That. Once a week, for twelve weeks. And then what?”
“And then back to our regularly scheduled programming.” Or it’s amazing, and we keep doing it forever, Mike thinks but narrowly manages to keep to himself.OR: After their mentors tell them they need more life experience to improve their art, college roommates Mike and Will agree to start up a short-term friends-with-benefits situation. Also, they’re going on dates all around NYC. But not like, date-dates. Artist Dates. Don’t worry about it.

Summary
"
"I kind of like this job. Hard to keep it if I'm never here."The corner of Mike’s mouth quirked up, a rare chuckle that made Will’s chest tighten. "I’m glad you like it here, Will. Because I certainly enjoy having you here."
Will’s face heated up instantly. Before he could overanalyze the weight behind that statement, Mike cleared his throat and adjusted his tie, loosening the knot slightly. "I mean, you’re excellent at your job. You’ve made my life... significantly easier."
Will looked down at his shoes, a small, shy smile breaking through his nerves. "Well, that’s the whole point of my job, isn't it? To make your life easier."
Mike nodded slowly, his eyes dark and fixed on Will. He grabbed his phone from the desk, "Right."
or; will has a crush on his boss Mike and Mike has a crush on his Assitant Will, they both don't know it, they start to get closer over time and develop a close bond, things get physical after an office party, and they have to keep their relationship hidden, although it gets hard when things start to get physical...... basically a classic secret boss/secretary relationship fic
