Summary
"Mike scowls down at the picture and takes it tightly between two hands. He grits his teeth and rips at the photo until it splits in two, leaving Will smiling back at him in one piece and this Carlton guy in the other. Mike grins down at the photo of Will and slips it into his jacket pocket as the city begins to peek over the horizon. He drops the half with Carlton (really, what the fuck kind of name is Carlton?) onto the dirty bus floor and crushes it with the toe of his Converse."
or will sends mike a letter that includes a polaroid of him and his new bf, and mike immediately catches a greyhound bus and hauls ass to new york city to homewreck and get his man back. feat. jonathan and robin as emotional support.

Summary
"This has been a recurring problem since Will came back from the Upside Down. Mike feels like he can’t take his eyes off him, ever. What if he disappeared again? Mike couldn’t let that happen. He’d already taken Will for granted once, and look what had happened.
Will’s watching him carefully now. “I can go back home this afternoon, if you want. By myself, I mean.”
Mike scowls. “Why would you do that?”
Will breaks the gaze and looks back down at his drawing, smudging a line. “So you can go to bed at a decent time. And not wake up in the middle of the night every time I have a nightmare. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry! I want to be with you. I missed you. I’m…” Mike looks down at Will’s hand that’s closest to him, gripping a bright yellow pencil and tapping it against his notebook. He thinks about reaching out and grabbing it, just for a moment. To steady him. To let Will know that he’s not going anywhere. I’m scared of losing you again, he finishes in his head. He feels scared to say it, though he can’t name why."---------

Summary
“What’s your last name, then?” Buck prompts. He doesn’t know what to say, how to keep this going, but he knows he’s not ready for the conversation to end.
“Diaz.”
Diaz. Diaz. Diaz. Buck rolls the name over in his mind. He likes the sound of it.
“Do people ever call you Diaz?”
“Not if they want me to respond.” He smiles at Buck then, a real smile that shows off his slightly crooked teeth. His eyes are a warm, dark brown that makes Buck’s head feel a little like soup.
Well, shit, Buck thinks.

Summary
Buck can’t breathe. He’s suffocating here in this closet, in these clothes, in the proximity of his and Eddie’s faces. There’s only a few inches left between them. Buck doesn’t have it in himself to fight any harder to recover any lost space between them.
“I mean it,” Eddie reinforces. “Tell me, Buck.”
Buck can see the shine of Eddie’s eyes in the little bit of light, awake and earnest now. He’s been so good for Buck, especially since the lightning strike. He’s always there to help or hang out or talk to Buck and keep him from getting too lost in his own head. He’s so good, and Buck–well, doesn’t know how he could be expected to resist it.

or buck and eddie get stuck in a supply closet at the firehouse, buck's crushing on eddie, and eddie looks really hot in his tank top.

Summary
"It’s not like this is the first time they’ve seen each other change clothes, seen each other mostly naked. It happens all the time in the changing room at the firehouse. But there, they’re surrounded by the rest of their friends and walls of glass that mean anyone could see them. Here, completely alone and tucked away from the rest of the world, in a hotel room with a queen-size bed… Buck can’t help but think that this feels very, very different."

Summary
“Do you remember when…” Mike began, slumping down so his head rested against Will’s, “you were possessed by the mind flayer? You were so scared, and we were so young. We were sitting together in my basement, and I promised you that if you went crazy, we’d go crazy together?”
Will wanted to cry. Of course he remembered that. It was the first time he could point to where he’d realized he didn’t just want to be Mike’s friend. He’d been too young to really identify or understand the feeling at that time, but he had known something had shifted. And he’d almost deluded himself into thinking Mike felt it too.
“I remember,” Will admitted.
Mike sighed slowly, like he was letting go of something. Will prayed that it wasn’t him.
“I meant it, you know,” Mike said. “I’d have followed you anywhere then. I still would.”
