Summary
He was starting, very reluctantly, to regret saying “no” when Dustin and Lucas invited him out. At least they would’ve given him some noise, distraction, someone to argue with, maybe even a working fan. He could feel the annoyance growing inside him and there was only one thing that could fix this. Will. He needed to talk with him.
or: Mike and Will talk over the walkie-talkie and things escalate pretty quickly.

Summary
Their little game starts off innocent enough. They are lying side by side in Mike’s bed, both staring at the ceiling, fighting sleep to come and take them. Mike had turned to him, quiet and tentative, and whispered across the space between them:
“Tell me a secret.”
It spiraled from there. Fast and uncaring of the damage in its path, like a shooting star.

Plagued by nightmares in their college apartment, the only thing that can settle either of them is each other. -

Summary
“So yeah, you could say I’m sexually frustrated,” Will concludes, a wry smile on his face as he finally finishes his rant. “Not to be too graphic, but all I want is a nice, good-looking man who can fuck me hard.” He tips his head towards Mike’s where they're both leaning against the wall, and shuts his eyes for a long moment. “It’s whatever, though. I’ll get ov-”
“I could help you out,” Mike blurts out.
“You- I- What did you say?” Will stammers. Mike squeezes his eyes shut for a long moment, breathes, and then opens them again and meets Will’s gaze determinedly.
“I could help you,” Mike says, with somehow only the slightest tremble of uncertainty in his voice. "As in, we could have sex."or; Will is struggling. Guys who are nice, hot, AND good in bed are apparently non-existent at their university. Frustrated, he complains to Mike - who makes him an offer he can't refuse.
Unfortunately, there's always an aftermath to hooking up with your best friend.
Meanwhile, Mike has some realisations. -

Summary
"This wasn't like the easy camaraderie he shared with Dustin or Lucas.
It was something more. Something deeper. Something that hurt."---
Will Byers made a catastrophic mistake: he agreed to room with Mike Wheeler.
The boy he's been in love with since middle school. The boy he watched kiss someone else. The boy he moved across the country to forget.
He survived the Upside Down. He survived watching Mike love El. He survived California.
How hard could sharing a tiny dorm room be?
Turns out: impossible.
Their room at Indiana University is absurdly small—three feet between beds, no space to hide. And Mike won't stop touching him. His hand on Will's thigh during study sessions. Walking around in towels. Looking at him with questions Will can't answer.
Four weeks of tension. One fight. Seven days of silence.
Then the party.
Mike's hands on his hips. His body pressed close.
"I can't stop thinking about you."
Neither can Will.
Some feelings run too deep to ignore—even when the distance is only three feet.
