    Summary

    Will can’t allow himself the luxury of a wet dream tonight, so he wills for Mike to stop moving.
    Mike does not stop moving.
    Will frowns, mustering up more focus, sharpening his control.
    Mike still doesn’t stop, but he lets out an annoyed whine. “What’s fucking tugging at me right now?”
    What.
    “I’m—trying to stop you. Stop.” Will’s voice comes out warped and distant, unused to being spoken out loud in the dreamscape.
    Mike stops moving, as instructed, breathing heavily against Will’s open mouth. “Why? Isn’t this—isn’t this just a dream? Come on.”
    Huh?!
    What is Will’s subconscious trying to achieve right now?

     

    —or—

     

    Will's powers have been acting up lately, thanks to the stress of college and a part time job.
    He finds solace in his usual lucid dreams. Except, suddenly — they get clearer. More vivid. More out of control.
    Will assumes it's just his subconscious working through some very obvious problems.
    Mike assumes he's just having weird sex dreams about his best friend because he's stressed and pent-up.

    Neither of them realizes they're sharing them.

    Summary

    “Hopper doesn’t know I’m gay.”

    Jonathan squinted at him, mind prone to lag in the morning. “Why would Hopper not know? You told us as clearly as you could without using the word—”

    “He was already on the way to Radio Shack,” Will said in a rush. He gripped his bag tighter so his arms wouldn’t start to flail with panicky emphasis. “He wasn’t there when I came out.”

    Summary

    "Need a light?" MJ looks down at the joint in Will's hands, confused.

    "Oh, right now?" Will startles, looking at the door handle.

    "Are you always this jumpy? Man, you really need this, huh? C'mere." Will hesitates. MJ sighs, reaching for the joint in Will's lap and feeding it to him.

    He sparks the lighter and holds it to the end of the freshly rolled joint. Will watches his eyes on the flame, unsure what to do next. "Breathe in." MJ demands through an airy laugh, waiting for the end of the joint to glow before leaning back in his seat.

    Summary

    "Was it not enough for you to steal my husband’s turf, power, arsenal – right on the days following his death?” Byers leans forward, eyes glinting furiously, beautifully. “You have to go and try to steal his omega, too?”

    Mike waits, and the silence between them descends long enough for it to edge on the border of it being awkward.

    “I’m not trying, Byers,” he says easily, letting a shark-like smirk unfurl over his lips. “I already have.”

    *

    Notorious mob boss Henry Creel is murdered, and his mate, Will Byers, is (seemingly) up for grabs. Mike Wheeler, equally notorious mob boss, will do anything in his power to have him within his grasp.

    Summary

    “You’re thinking,” Will says, skating a finger down the line of Mike’s nose, under his eye, over his cheekbone, then resting, finally, just at the corner of his lips– “about me.”

    Oh, Jesus. Mike’s throat is very, very dry. “What?”

    Will opens his eyes – slow, a little hesitant – and smiles. “You are,” he says, way, way too smug for Mike’s liking. “You’re turning red!”

    “Shut up,” Mike mutters, and Will’s smile grows. “You– I’m just nervous!”

    It should be illegal for someone to look this pleased with themselves. “Yeah?” Will says quietly, index finger still hovering at the corner of Mike’s mouth, thumb pressed gently under his chin. “I make you nervous?”

    Mike thinks Will might be psychic. (Kind of.) Will is being very irritatingly vague about the whole thing.
