Summary
James Potter has everything. He’s the star of the football team, popular, and he’s never really had to try hard in school. That is, until his grades drop significantly due to his focus shifting totally to football and he’s told that he can stay on the field under one condition. He gets tutored by the best of the junior class, Regulus Black.
Regulus is the last person James would ever want help from. He’s quiet and annoying dead-set on not being James’ friend, but somehow the only person available to help James not completely fail.
From after school study sessions in the library to hanging around each other’s houses, the two realize that while they might not be the most similar, they make a great pair. So, what starts off as an arrangement to save James’ football career slowly morphs into feelings the two didn’t know they had. -

Summary
It rolls, it rolls, it rolls, Will is clenching his hands into fists so tight his knuckles are white, bracing himself, preparing himself.
He’s so focused on steadying his breathing, on wrapping his heart in a guard of barbed wire before the blow lands, that he doesn’t quite see the number on the dice.
Mike lets out a shaky breath next to him. “It’s a seven.”
Will runs through the list in his head. Three times, before it clicks. He thinks he might throw up.
“C’mon, Wheeler. Don’t keep us waiting,” Max teases, and Will finally catches the satisfied gleam in her eyes.
A 20. He gets twenty minutes locked in a linen closet with Mike.
Two years ago, he would have been jumping for joy.
But Mike won’t even look at him.

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
Hesitation fills the line. “I was wondering if you would mind company.”
Air steadily escapes Mike’s lungs as he stares at the wall’s wood paneling. All he can offer is a weak, “Huh?”
Will’s gentle laugh reaches through to him. “I want to visit you. While I’ve got the time. Is that okay? Is—Is two weeks too long?”
Two weeks is nothing compared to the three years since they’ve seen each other.
Mike snaps back to mind. His grip tightens on both the phone and the mug’s handle. “Yes—yeah, of course that’s okay. Two weeks is perfect. It’s just… nobody else is in town right now. I’m not particularly entertaining on my own.”
“I’m not looking to be entertained, Mike. I want to see you. It’s been too long.”
“Okay…” He swallows. “Okay, yeah. Come on over.”
Mike lives alone in a house he bought in Hawkins, and he’s gotten quite used to his life as a successful hermitic writer. After landing a job, Will decides he wants to spend two weeks with him before his start date. Not only does Mike have to adjust to being around someone 24/7 again, but that someone is Will.
