I saw this pic for the first time today, I don't know why I like it so much, it is so dramatic!

"Wait, are you- are you giving me a hickey?"
Mike pauses what he's doing, feeling almost like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar, his mouth hovering mere millimeters above the soft curve of Will's neck.
"Um," he says, lips brushing against warm skin, and he can't help but revel a little in the way it causes Will to shiver. "No?"
"Mike."
Will lets out a small, frustrated groan, and Mike knows, okay, he knows - no hickeys in visible places. But they had been making out and then Will's neck was right there, looking all inviting and delicious, and Mike's brain just kind of... short circuited. Can you blame him really?
Still, he feels a little bit bad about it. Especially when he, mournfully might add, lifts his head and leans back to see Will's face being all pout and sad eyes.
"How bad is it?"
"It's, uh," he glances down at Will's neck, winces a little at the bruise that's starting to blossom there, before looking back at Will. "You can barely see it?"
"Ugh," Will drags the palms of his hands over his face, before letting the right one slide down to touch the offending spot, as if he could tell what it looks like from touch alone. "I won't be able to show myself for days."
Mike rolls his eyes at that, because honestly, it's not that bad. Besides, there's always turtlenecks, but when he tells Will as much, he gets a glare and a shove to the shoulder in return.
"Hey, turtlenecks are great for hiding hickeys," he insists, wiggling his eyebrows a little, and smiling when he sees the corner of Will's mouth twitch a little. "That's probably why they were invented in the first place."
Now its Will's turn to roll his eyes, but his pout is slowly turning into a smile, so Mike counts it as a win.
"Besides," he continues, hand coming up to curl around the collar of Will's tshirt, tugging slightly on the material. "You look really good in 'em."
Will blushes at that, and Mike feels his own cheeks heat up a little, too. It's still new, the whole being able to say what they really think, how they really feel. Even if it's just a compliment, or the use of a pet name, or- or accidentally giving each other hickeys during a make out session. That's new, too.
Mike likes it, though. Likes the newness of it all, the nervousness of not really knowing what they're doing, but happy that they're doing it together. He thinks that there is probably nothing that he wouldn't want to do with Will, that this is just the beginning of all the new, wonderful things they'll experience together.
"Maybe," Will says, bringing Mike back to the present. "But it's also the middle of the summer, Mike."
"Yeah."
"Yeah," Will echoes, looking up at Mike with fond amusement. "I'll die if I wear a turtleneck in this weather."
"Oh."
Mike blinks, seeing a hint of mischieviousness in Will's eyes, feels his heart speed up a little when Will reaches up to tuck a lose strand of hair behind Mike's ear. His hand stays put after, palm gently cradling Mike's jaw, as he pulls him closer until their noses touch. Will leans up a little, closing that last bit of space as he lets his lips brush against the corner of Mike's mouth, sighing contentedly when Mike turns his head into it, capturing Will's lips in a kiss. It's gentle, unrushed, like they have all the time in the world. Mike hopes they do.
"So," Will hums, in between kisses, pulling Mike even closer, his voice all feigned annoyance. "I guess we'll just have to stay here until the hickie has gone away."
Mike is definitely more than okay with that, and if he somehow happens to give Will a few more hickeys, by accident of course, then they'll have no other option but to stay just a little bit longer.
Will looks like he wants to swallow Mike
no he doesn’t
It’s a shame that we have to work to normalise things that are already normal, but hey, that’s the internet age for ya. So: there will be mention of sexual topics in this post; read on if you are emotionally mature (or if you’re not), if you’re curious, nervous, interested, open-minded or feeling frustrated about the puritanical gatekeeping surrounding the portrayal of Byler’s sexuality in Stranger Things.
…with heroesbyler’s Always Sunny reference, cos its hella hilarious.
(THE FACT THAT DENNIS DREW OUT EACH LETTER AGAIN ON EVERY PAGE SO HIS ACROSTIC WOULD COME TOGETHER IN A VISUALLY PLEASING WAY. Dennis how long did you spend on this presentation?!)
So I got to thinking about the Sunny episode where the gang goes to therapy (‘The Gang Gets Analysed’). One character, Mac, sees a pen on the coffee table and immediately picks it up, making an abrupt and unprompted phallic association.
