    Summary

    “I mean,” explains Adora, “We were friends for so long, and all that. Don’t you–” she swallows, “–don’t you miss me, too?”

    “You can’t miss someone sitting right across from you,” responds Catra. Adora can’t help but disagree.

    She looks at Catra expectantly, and after a pause, Catra lets out a long breath. “Fine, fine,” she says. “You’ve always been my favorite ghost, skeleton in the closet, whatever.” Adora frowns over at her. Catra shrugs, evidently unwilling to say anything else. Catra gives her another look that punctuates this, a look that says stop asking for more and Adora, folding her hands neatly, does as she's told.

    Summary

    This is the first girl who’s ever asked Mike out — something he had, in the not too distant past, been terrified would never happen. And Mike just stands there, feeling like his dining hall dinner is about to crawl back up his esophagus.

    Jeremy, Saint Jeremy, nudges him with an elbow. “He’s kind of private about it, but Mike actually has someone back home.”

    Mike turns his head to look at Jeremy, expecting a knowing smile or the hint of a wink. But Jeremy actually looks sincere, which makes Mike’s eyebrows sink down, almost to the top of his nose.

    “Will, right?” Jeremy supplies, forever trying to be helpful. “He’s at CalArts?”

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    “Will?”

    Of course.

    “Can I come in?” Mike asks, his voice just loud enough to be heard through the door. “Please?”

    And Will wishes, God, he wishes he could be someone stronger, someone who isn’t so easily broken by the sound of Mike Wheeler saying please.

    But he isn’t.

    OR

    Will Byers is moving on. Mike Wheeler is not jealous. And everyone else is just trying to survive the semester (and the front porch.)
     
    (“College fic” in the sense that they are technically enrolled somewhere. Mostly, I just wanted everyone to live together.)
