Summary
As Mike swivels his chair around he can feel his heart rate picking up, which is totally ridiculous. This whole situation is ridiculous, he thinks, as his eyes find the reason he hasn’t been able to concentrate on his stupid essay.
Will is sitting on his bed on the other side of the room. He has his knees drawn up to his chest with an open sketchbook balanced against them, absentmindedly tapping a pencil against his lips. And he is looking at Mike.
No, not looking. Staring. Intensely.
or
Mike and Will share a dorm in college, and over the course of three days Mike has some revelations about his feelings for Will and what he really means to him.

Summary
In his almost 17 years being alive, Will has learned many things. Very high on that list is that there’s a fine line between “best friend” and “something more.”
Michael Wheeler uses that line like a fucking jump rope.
“You… wish I had saved just you?”
or; Mike and Will chat after the Mac-Z

Save Me (I'm The Writing On The Wall) by RoseByAnyOtherName17

Summary
“I’m just…thinking.”
“Well, can you think out loud?” Will gripes, sounding tense and unhappy even as he settles back against Mike’s chest. “You’re making me nervous.”
Mike laughs a little. “I’m not sure I should; I don’t want to freak you out.”
“Mike,” and Will sounds supremely unimpressed, “I just took control of three Demos, two of which were miles away, and proceeded to snap their limbs and kill them with my mind. Not only that, I just told you that I did it by drawing strength, in large part, from being your friend. You’re worried about freaking me out? Really?”
“Yeah, and I’m the guy who watched you do it and thought that it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen in my life, so what does that say about me?”
There’s a long, shocked silence.
“See, this is why I don’t think out loud,” Mike jokes weakly.
--
Mike falls a little bit more in love with Will because, at this point, who wouldn't? He just saved Mike's life, after all. Unfortunately, the others don't quite see it that way, and it's getting to Will a little bit. Mike intends to remedy that.
Immediately following the ending of season 5 episode 4: Sorcerer

Summary
“Well, Mike seems to think it matters,” Robin mutters. “You should see how he’s staring at us. At you.”
Will shouldn’t look. He really shouldn’t. It’ll only make things worse. But the second she says it, his body moves without asking him first.
He turns toward where he saw Mike last.
El’s still talking, animated, but Mike’s eyes aren’t on her at all. They’re locked on him. Dark, unreadable, jaw clenched. It sends something white-hot and dizzying through Will’s chest.
-
Every time Mike and El break up, Mike acts like him and Will are dating, and Will doesn't know how much longer his heart can handle it.

Summary
“Were you seeing anyone back in California?” Mike asks quietly, steering them right away from safe territory and straight into the danger zone.
“No,” Will breathes out. It’s not a lie. “The boys in California aren’t really my type.”
His heart is racing. Mike smiles. “No? What is your type? You’ve never told me.”
Will stutters, feeling his cheeks glow red. “Oh, you know. Dark hair, dark eyes. Nothing too specific…”
Mike’s smile grows into a grin.
Sitting on a windowsill, Mike tells Will a story that changes everything.

Summary
“If I wouldn't like it. Don’t people say try it before you say you don’t like it?” Mike looks at him again; his eyebrows raised with a small grin on his face.
“Um… Yeah, I guess. Where is this coming from?” Will asks, turning his body to fully face Mike.
He shrugs.
“Just been thinking about it.”
“About kissing guys?” Will fires the question quickly, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
“No.”
Will tilts his head.
“Okay, then what were you thinking about?” Will laughs dryly, Mike pulling his lips into his mouth.
“Well… about trying it, but not like… guys.” Mikes face starts to flush.
“Okay, then what? A specific guy?” Will laughs, letting one leg stretch over the couch cushions, his other still held to his chest.
“You could say that.” Mike whispers, his eyes darting over Will’s face.
or
Mike becomes extremely affectionate with Will out of nowhere aka domestic Mike and Will.
