Summary
Mike finally looked over at Will. "Would you ever do it?"
Will sat up slightly, becoming more confused the further the conversation continued. "Friends with benefits?" Will asked, still trying to process what Mike was asking him.
"Yeah."
“With who?” Will asked softly, his heart booming against his rib cage.
“With me,” Mike said casually, like he hadn’t just shifted Will’s entire world.
Or: Mike and Will agree to be Friends with Benefits while on Summer road trip. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“Will, how is it possible that you cool things off for Mike without even being there?”
“What? I don’t—” he starts.
“Yeah, you’re like his cooler,” Dustin adds. “When you don’t come out with us, Mike just sits at the bar and mopes.”
“I do not!” Mike shouts.
“And when you do come out with us,” he continues. “Mike spends half the night checking on you. And he’ll tell whatever girl he’s talking to that he needs to go ‘check on his roommate,’ and he ditches her.”
“Will, don’t take this the wrong way, but you’ve totally been cockblocking Mike without even doing anything,” Lucas teases.
“Come on, don’t be a dick, Lucas,” Mike grumbles.
or
After a months-long dry spell, the party agrees to help each other get laid, and a misguided Will dedicates himself to being Mike's anti-cooler. Then, a drinking game gone wrong puts Mike and Will in a precarious situation where they must kiss or risk losing the game, and a panicked Mike accidentally says something a little too revealing about his feelings, much to Will's surprise.
loosely based on the events of New Girl 2x15, Cooler

- Teen magazine quizzes are way more intense than expected.

- Taking advice from anonymous “fever confessions” is a terrible idea.Unfortunately, they only realize the third one after they’ve already started acting on the first two.
Or:
Will and Mike accidentally read a very inappropriate teen magazine and decide the best way to prepare for college is to practice being less inexperienced… on each other.
