put your lips close to mine, as long as they don't touch by lumism

Summary
“Well, I don't know,” Mike says. This is exactly what he had practised in the mirror earlier– except now he has to say it with the sudden certainty that this is all a very bad idea. “I guess I thought that a kiss would be a good bucket list item, or whatever."
Will looks at him for a few seconds. His gaze is calculating, and almost curious. But then he just shakes his head dismissively, and looks away.
“Yeah, I guess,” he agrees. “It’s not like there’s anyone to kiss here, though."
Mike almost laughs at that. Yeah, right.
He knows of at least two other people who would be down to kiss Will, if he asked them to. He selfishly keeps this to himself- because he doesn’t want Will to kiss anybody else, and because he doesn’t want to explain why, exactly, he has been keeping such close track of his best friend's romantic prospects.
“I mean,” he says instead, with a shrug. “I’m here."
It's the end of the world. Mike thinks that he and Will should kiss about it.

Summary
"You really can’t see yourself at all?”
Mike shrugs, like: what can you do about it.
“It’s fine,” he says, with a toothy grin that reveals his fangs. He’s so focused on making the crease between Will’s eyebrows disappear that he doesn’t even stop to consider the words that are leaving his mouth. “As long as I can still see your face,” he says. “I'll be alright.”
It's hard to face your feelings when you can’t even see your own reflection. Mike tries to be brave about it.

Summary
He looks up at him, eyebrows drawn together. “Do you not love her?”
Mike shrinks back. “What?”
He hadn’t meant to say it. He wouldn’t have, if he’d stopped to think about it for half a second. But it’s too late to take it back, and he can’t breathe until he knows the answer, and he looks at him resolutely and says, “Do you only love her because of what I said?”
Something darkens on Mike’s face, twisting it into a shape Will’s never seen. “Get out.”
It’s not a no.
or: Mike and Will share a room, and Mike finds out the truth about the painting.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has a lot of problems with where his life has ended up, but his most prevalent at the moment has to be just how irrevocably stupid his decisions have started to become.
-
Or, in which it takes almost a decade post-finale for Mike to finally accept what he's spent his whole life running from... but better late than never, right?
(Featuring: messy post-college Byler, platonic soulmates Madwheeler, and Mike Wheeler's severely unmedicated BPD)
