Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

Summary
Will thinks about staying in bed. He thinks about beckoning Mike back into their room and rolling onto his stomach and having Mike push back inside him. He thinks about Mike moaning in his ear. Shoving his face into the mattress in that way that Will loves. Coming inside him. Dirtying him even more. Falling back asleep with Mike inside him and never leaving the bed, never leaving each other's arms. Food, coffee, life - it can all wait.
Sometimes Will worries that it’s becoming unhealthy. That he’s too obsessed, and that one day it’s all going to crash and burn. Or worse, that they will slowly fizzle out over time.Will becomes concerned that he wants Mike more than what's probably considered normal. Mike proves him wrong. Multiple times.

Summary
Only when they had reached the gardens did the grip finally release. He rubbed his wrist as he looked up to find none other than Mike Wheeler looking at him in frustration and worry. Will could tell it was mainly in worry. His eyebrows were drawn tight, the line of his mouth firm, eyes glowing in the lantern’s gold light.
“Your Highness,” he said quietly, trying to steady his breathing, “what were you thinking?”
A tremor slipped into his voice. “You could have been hurt.”
In the golden kingdom of Istathia, princes are meant to marry for politics, not for love. But when Prince Will is forced into an alliance marriage to end a war, he finds himself torn between the duty he was born into, and the boy who took his heart the moment Will saw him.
