    Summary

    “You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”

    “Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”

    Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.

    “Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”

    or

    Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

    Summary

    Mike can hear the smile in Will's voice when he picks up, and it’s startling how easily he can imagine it.Will, leaning against the wall of his new house. Probably wearing bright colours and flip flops- or whatever it is that Max keeps assuring him everyone in California wears. He knows the exact angles at which Will’s smile tilts, different depending on whether he’s teasing or just excited.

    Closing his eyes, Mike tries to remember the angle of El’s smile.

    He can't. It troubles him enough to ruin everything.

    “Is El there?” he asks. When Will responds, there is no longer a smile in his voice. 

    Only a couple of Mike's calls to Lenora actually go through, and he never says quite what he means.

    Until he does.

    Summary

    "- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"

    Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.

    After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.

    A beat passes.

    "What's your teacher's name again?"

    AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.
