I want to tell him that it was just my own shit messing with my mind, that it was never anything I ever planned to say. That I was…I am…scared, scared that I wanted everything I can’t have, that I still want to play DnD and Nintendo for the rest of our lives, to be with him, and…and I just want him back, and I can’t do anything about it.

Summary
This is something that, probably, someone with more objectivity on the situation than Mike would categorize as not normal. Personally, though, Mike isn’t all that pressed. Not when it’s so undeniably pleasant. He’s fine being abnormal about Will if it means not ruining this for himself.
After a few minutes, Will props himself up on one elbow, looking at Mike with sudden urgency. “Mike,” he says, blinking slowly at him, and Mike pauses the show again, arching an eyebrow at him.
“Yes?”
Will grins, all crooked and boyish and brilliant in the soft glow of the living room lamplight. “Let’s make out.”the one where they're exes who still kiss sometimes, but not, like, in a weird way.

Summary
“Will sighed and rolled onto his side, preparing himself for more fidgeting, but something underneath the bed caught his eye.
It was a stack of letters, all sealed. At first, Will thought they must’ve been sent by El, but none had any stamps on them. When Will looked at the messy scrawl on the paper, he realized the address on the envelope wasn’t Mike’s. It was Will’s.
And they had Will’s name on them.”
Will found letters in Mike’s room addressed to him. Despite knowing he shouldn’t read them, Will’s curiosity drove him to open the mysterious letters hiding under Mike’s bed. The contents are certainly not what Will expected.

Summary
Any other superpower would have been better, really. Fire-wielding, telekinesis— even growing an extra arm would have been preferable to mind-reading.
Will hates his newfound powers, and he hates the constant headaches that come with them, and he hates the weird thoughts and feelings he never even wanted to know about in the first place that constantly invade his mind. He hates it all, but he can’t escape his own brain— so short of removing his head entirely, what can he even do to change it?
But— thankfully— with a little help from his friends, and a lot of pain from Mike Wheeler, Will learns to control his telepathy— and, maybe, learns a little too much from his best-friend-slash-lifelong-love’s intricately confusing mind.

Summary
A certain scene from the movie popped up, causing Will’s mouth to drop open and for his eyes to widen as he soaked in what was on the TV.
Of all the scenes in the movie, Mike had returned The Outsiders paused during the few, brief seconds when Sodapop was getting out of the shower in the background of the shot. Sodapop haphazardly covered himself with a towel, and then wrapped the towel just, like, stupidly low around his hips, his chest still wet and bare from the shower.
Or:
3 times that Mike Wheeler doesn’t rewind his rental movie before returning it to Family Video + 1 time that he does.
