    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Summary

    Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.

    or

    It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.

    Summary

    Will choked on air, the oxygen punched from his lungs. "What??"

    "I can help you." Mike repeated. "I could teach you how to blow someone. I've had it done to me before, I know what feels good. I can show you how to do it on an object, or something. To help you practice."

    Summary

    “Okay, I don’t ‘like to be manhandled’–”
    Will sat suddenly, bracketing Mike’s legs between his own and using two hands on his shoulders to flip them until Mike was lying horizontally on the sofa with Will on top of him. Mike gasped, the breath knocked out of him, and was once again rendered speechless.
    “You were saying?”
    “Okay fine!” Mike acquiesced, “But it’s not my fault you got so strong all of a sudden!”
    Will rolled his eyes fondly.
    “I didn’t ‘get strong’, Mike. I’ve been like this since Cali. You just chose not to notice,”
    “Yeah, well, it’s sorta hard to hide your feelings when you’re daydreaming about your best friend’s biceps every other minute,”
    Will flushed then, eyes widening. His heart did a funny little jump, and he felt tingly all over.
    “My biceps?”
    “...Among other things,”

    ______________

    Or, Mike has been acting weird since Will realised he had powers. Will thinks it's because he's scared. In reality, Mike is just whipped.
