Summary
"Mike scowls down at the picture and takes it tightly between two hands. He grits his teeth and rips at the photo until it splits in two, leaving Will smiling back at him in one piece and this Carlton guy in the other. Mike grins down at the photo of Will and slips it into his jacket pocket as the city begins to peek over the horizon. He drops the half with Carlton (really, what the fuck kind of name is Carlton?) onto the dirty bus floor and crushes it with the toe of his Converse."
or will sends mike a letter that includes a polaroid of him and his new bf, and mike immediately catches a greyhound bus and hauls ass to new york city to homewreck and get his man back. feat. jonathan and robin as emotional support.

Summary
"This has been a recurring problem since Will came back from the Upside Down. Mike feels like he can’t take his eyes off him, ever. What if he disappeared again? Mike couldn’t let that happen. He’d already taken Will for granted once, and look what had happened.
Will’s watching him carefully now. “I can go back home this afternoon, if you want. By myself, I mean.”
Mike scowls. “Why would you do that?”
Will breaks the gaze and looks back down at his drawing, smudging a line. “So you can go to bed at a decent time. And not wake up in the middle of the night every time I have a nightmare. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry! I want to be with you. I missed you. I’m…” Mike looks down at Will’s hand that’s closest to him, gripping a bright yellow pencil and tapping it against his notebook. He thinks about reaching out and grabbing it, just for a moment. To steady him. To let Will know that he’s not going anywhere. I’m scared of losing you again, he finishes in his head. He feels scared to say it, though he can’t name why."---------

Summary
“What’s your last name, then?” Buck prompts. He doesn’t know what to say, how to keep this going, but he knows he’s not ready for the conversation to end.
“Diaz.”
Diaz. Diaz. Diaz. Buck rolls the name over in his mind. He likes the sound of it.
“Do people ever call you Diaz?”
“Not if they want me to respond.” He smiles at Buck then, a real smile that shows off his slightly crooked teeth. His eyes are a warm, dark brown that makes Buck’s head feel a little like soup.
Well, shit, Buck thinks.

Summary
Buck can’t breathe. He’s suffocating here in this closet, in these clothes, in the proximity of his and Eddie’s faces. There’s only a few inches left between them. Buck doesn’t have it in himself to fight any harder to recover any lost space between them.
“I mean it,” Eddie reinforces. “Tell me, Buck.”
Buck can see the shine of Eddie’s eyes in the little bit of light, awake and earnest now. He’s been so good for Buck, especially since the lightning strike. He’s always there to help or hang out or talk to Buck and keep him from getting too lost in his own head. He’s so good, and Buck–well, doesn’t know how he could be expected to resist it.

or buck and eddie get stuck in a supply closet at the firehouse, buck's crushing on eddie, and eddie looks really hot in his tank top.

Summary
There stood Mike, frozen like a statue. In front of him, Will was bent over, digging through the fruit drawer of the refrigerator. After a moment, Will straightened up with a ripe peach in hand. Ted watched his son continue staring at the exact spot Will’s backside had just occupied, wearing an expression of pure, hopeless longing.
Ted considered quietly backing out of the room.
"For God's sake, Michael," He said, instead. "Either take something out or close the door. I'm not paying to refrigerate the whole neighborhood."
Will turned around, blinking in mild confusion.
Mike’s face bloomed bright red. The blush was quickly overtaken by a scowl. He slammed the refrigerator door hard enough to rattle every magnet on it. “I was getting something! Sorry it took more than two seconds-"
“When exactly did your mother start storing the snacks in the back pockets of Will’s jeans?”
“Oh my God.” Mike spun on his heel and stormed toward the stairs. “You are so-" The rest was lost to thundering footsteps and the inevitable slam of his bedroom door.
Or, Ted realizes sometimes you need to be locked in the closet before coming out of it.

Summary
“It’s an aphrodisiac," Dustin told him, still looking at the pill.
“Come again?”
Lucas snorted at the phrase, and Mike glared at him.
Dustin shoved the packet into his bag before looking over to Will. “It’s a sex pill.”
“It’s a—” Will stammered, looking around wide eyed before glancing back at Dustin. “A sex pill? What the hell would we do with that?”
Lucas wiggled his eyebrows. “We have a competition. First one to tap out and jerk off first loses. Which will be all of you first, obviously.”
After the majority of their teenage years got interrupted by monsters from alternate dimensions, the Party starts to work their way through a bucket list of “normal” teenage things they never got the chance to do.
Taking sex pills to have a competition with your friends is totally something all teenage boys do, right?
Mike regrets everything (no he doesn’t.)
