Summary
“Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”
“Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”
“Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”
“Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”
Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

Summary
He thought he’d hidden these feelings from himself, stowed them away in some dark corner and learned not to think about it. But the second Eddie peeked in from around the corner at the Jade and looked at Richie with those big, limpid pools of Christmas Orphan meets Bambi, and started rambling about gluten and cashews, it all came flooding back into focus. Richie has loved Eddie so long that it’s become an ache that goes beyond reason.

Summary
“I mean, obviously I’m gonna do it. I always do it. But I probably need a photo or reference, and my…” Will trails off and sighs, gaze landing on the dusty box sitting on top of his desk. Mike’s eyes naturally follow, looking a little lost. “My camera’s broken. So I guess I’ll be drawing my figurines again—”
“I could help you,” Mike interrupts.
And there it is. This is why Will should stop complaining out loud.

Summary
Oh. Right. The boy. The boy who, by now, has noticed Mike, and Mike looks up just in time to see him pop into his field of vision, a curious look on his face.
"Are you okay?" he asks, peering down at Mike, then glancing up at the fence, then looking down at him again with obvious amusement. "That was quite a drop."
Okay. So maybe Mike is dead, after all. "Um," he says intelligently, flushing pink and following the boy's gaze to the fence, "Yeah, I- I'm fine."
The boy's smirk widens, and he nods slowly, extending a hand. "You live up there?" he asks, nodding to the house above them, and Mike nods as he cautiously accepts the hand being offered. "And you just, what, make a habit of falling onto other people's property?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that," Mike huffs, regaining some of his brain power, and the boy grins widely and gives his arm a sharp tug, pulling him to his feet in one swift motion. Mike stumbles, nearly falling over again, and the boy catches him with a steadying hand on his shoulder.
mike falls off of a fence, learns about signs from the universe, and meets a boy. not necessarily in that order.
