Summary
"I wanna test something."
"Test something," Will repeats. Mike perks up a little sitting up on an elbow, like he thinks Will is finally getting it. Which he's not, for the record.
Mike's words come quick. "Yeah, just to see. Nothing too crazy. Not even like last night necessarily. Or not not like last night. Just smaller. Simple. Like earlier today, in the living room. You know wh—"
"Like your kiss with Jane," Will interrupts.
"Yes. Exactly."

Summary
Mike turns around and sees Will standing in the middle of the hallway and stops.
"Hey," he says. "Can I help you find something?"
His voice in person is slightly different from the radio. This is the version before the edit. Louder, and a little breathless from arguing, and entirely unaware of how often Will had listened to him.
"I'm here about a logo commission," Will says. He sounds, he thinks, almost normal. Even with his brain operating at half-capacity.
Mike's eyebrows go up in surprise. "We're getting a new logo?"

“What the hell is that?”
“Love sugar,” Will said, as if that would’ve explained anything.
Mike blinked at him. “What?”
Will grinned, bringing the tub between their faces. “Okay, don’t scold me for spending eighty bucks on this.” He paused, making sure Mike would actually keep his mouth shut. “I think it’s some kind of aphrodisiac. Nothing that’ll take you out, obviously. But apparently it’ll cause some serious horniness.”

OR: Will couldn't wait for their next visit to the sex shop and ordered a few things behind Mike's back, including a very suspicious tub of sugar

Summary
“So,” Dustin announced as he brought back drinks for the whole table and very pointedly tipped his head in the direction of Mike and Will, who were mid-heated discussion where they’d left them. “Is anybody going to tell me what happened there?”
Max rolled her eyes and said, “Will had a real ‘don’t meet your heroes’ moment,” at the same time as Lucas said, “Mike got his feelings hurt.”
Miscommunication kings Will and Mike have a falling out in the aftermath of their first kiss. Three years later, Jane & Dustin are getting married in the Florida Keys, and they want the whole party there. Sometimes it's easier to pretend to kiss and make up than to face your problems.

“What rumor did you hear?” Will asks, clearing his throat. He wipes his lips with the shirt he has on and glares at Max, who’s still giggling beside him. Max couldn’t care less, even if she was completely sober this would still be funny to her.
“It’s just about you and Mike,” Jane says, taking a sip of her wine, “You’re going to need to clean the coffee table, by the way.”

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.
