Summary
He looked away as Mike looked at him.
If his eyes had lingered a moment longer, they would have met, and Will would have seen the same gaze as shown on his own face. Words neither of them were ready to admit would have been evident in that shared look, and perhaps for once, they would have understood, would have read each other like open books, as they displayed their pages for the other to see willingly.
But Will’s eyes didn’t linger, the look was never shared, and the feeling of what could have faded into the hum of chatter from the group around them.OR: Mike doesn't remember what happened that night, but Will does. And as summer gets ever-closer, and the days start to blur together between busy shifts and lazy summer-soaking afternoons, it becomes harder and harder to ignore that something is about to surface through the tension, whether they like it or not; especially when the party plans a mini-holiday to celebrate. Definitely no messy love confessions to see here.

Summary
“I have a what?” Mason exclaims, eyes widening dramatically as he leans forward on the couch.
Will, ever patient, lays a hand on one of the legs he’s currently kneeling between, settled on the living room rug. “A sister,” he repeats. His voice is a stark contrast to Mason’s, all gentle and calm.
“Yeah, I got that part,” Mason says, dangerously toeing the line into condescension. “What does that mean? Did you go out and adopt a kid while I was at school?”
——
Mason’s biological sister, newly entered into the foster system, comes to live with Mike and Will. Considering Mason’s jealous history with little girls, his transition into brotherhood is not bound to be pretty.

Summary
The sudden sound of the door opening made his head turn up, away from the paper. His hand stilled. It was his roommate. The guy was incredibly attractive. He was, and Will doesn't use this word lightly, hot. If Will was asked to draw his perfect type, this guy would probably be the exact thing to end up on the page.
His roommate seemed almost just as taken back.
"Oh--- hey, uhm. . ." He seemed like he wanted to say something else, but his mouth snapped shut.
Will blinked away his thoughts of this guy, and straightened his posture a bit. He let his leg fall down, turning his body toward the guy more comfortably. The door stayed open, his hand still on the knob.
"Hey-- uh, I'm Will,"
"Uh--- sorry, I'm Mike,"
OR
Will Byers is ecstatic to go to college, residing at UIC in Chicago. Though, an unwanted altercation forces him to change schools. This lands him at NYU, joining his family in New York. He worries about his roommate, crossing his fingers he isn't as bad as the last, but is left with Mike Wheeler. A guitar player with dark clothes, black hair, and is sort of a "Teenage Dirt bag", who just so happens to be the embodiment of Will's exact type. And vice versa.

Summary
Only when they had reached the gardens did the grip finally release. He rubbed his wrist as he looked up to find none other than Mike Wheeler looking at him in frustration and worry. Will could tell it was mainly in worry. His eyebrows were drawn tight, the line of his mouth firm, eyes glowing in the lantern’s gold light.
“Your Highness,” he said quietly, trying to steady his breathing, “what were you thinking?”
A tremor slipped into his voice. “You could have been hurt.”
In the golden kingdom of Istathia, princes are meant to marry for politics, not for love. But when Prince Will is forced into an alliance marriage to end a war, he finds himself torn between the duty he was born into, and the boy who took his heart the moment Will saw him.

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.
