Summary
“Okay! Let’s do it!” Kel declares, pumping his fists, “Let’s kiss!”
Sunny nods to show that he’s on board. Kel nods back.
“Great!”
They stare into each other’s eyes. One moment passes, then two. Neither of them move a muscle, as if they’re locked in a standoff. A third moment passes. Sunny can practically hear the silence in the room. A fourth moment, and the fire in Kel’s eyes begins to diminish, along with his determined smile.
“…I have no idea what I’m doing.”
Sunny can’t help himself. He bursts out laughing.Or, after Sunny confesses his feelings to Kel, they share their first kiss... or at least, they try to. Who knew that kissing was so hard?

Summary
Kel is having a crisis. Apparently, he's had the biggest crush on his best friend without realizing it. Great. Wonderful. He's totally not freaking out at all.
However, despite his confusion and panic, he does know one thing for certain: Hero can never know about this.
So naturally, Hero finds out almost immediately.
(Or, Kel realizes he has a crush on Sunny and is terrified of Hero's reaction, and Hero is a good big brother.)

Summary
Kel wants to kiss Sunny. Like, he REALLY wants to kiss him. But of course, he doesn't want to risk ruining their friendship, uncertain if his friend feels the same way. So when Aubrey and Basil tell him about an apparent loophole that would allow him to kiss Sunny while still preserving their friendship, Kel immediately latches onto it.
Sunny had been having a good day, all things considered. Kel suddenly running up to him with an eager glint in his eyes wasn't anything new to him, but everything that followed DEFINITELY was. And now Sunny is left reeling from the fallout, wondering if maybe his feelings aren't as unrequited as he had previously thought.
Meanwhile, the rest of the gang are watching this train-wreck play out like a Shakespearean comedy with buckets of popcorn.
(Or, Kel kisses Sunny on the lips after screaming "no homo" in his face, Sunny has several mental breakdowns, Aubrey is tired of her friends' shit, Hero is the lone voice of reason, and Basil really wants a peach tree.)

Summary
"Virgil was laughing, nearly doubled over and needing to support himself on the kitchen table. His eyes, normally stoic and unexpressive, were sparkling with mirth, crinkled from the wide grin that seemed to grow with every moment. The laughter itself was loud and raucous, as rough around the edges as the Side it came from, but it was delightful and genuine in that way all laughter is. And it was beautiful."
Or, Roman hears Virgil laugh exactly one (1) time, and decides that he will do literally anything to hear it again.

Summary
Roman’s eyes furrow as he mulls over the question, and Virgil has to physically stop himself from smiling, dopey and lovestruck, at the adorable expression. Suddenly, Roman’s eyes light up.
“I’ve got it!” he declares, “One kiss is not nearly enough to celebrate my victory. So…!”
He pauses for dramatic effect, his grin widening as if struggling to resist the temptation to spill everything at once.
“As my reward, I declare that I should be given one hundred kisses! That seems fair, no?”Or, Roman makes a silly request, not expecting Virgil to agree. Virgil surprises him.

Summary
And then he stops. Scrolls back up.
There it is, in the bottom left hand corner with that little heart indicating a like– Will’s profile picture.
And this– well, this is enough to capture Mike’s long-fried attention span once more.
When Will likes an Instagram Reel about being in a "gut-wrenching situationship", Mike becomes determined to find the guy responsible for breaking his best friend's heart. This is not an overreaction at all.
...OK, maybe just a little.

Summary
Was…was Mike’s heart reacting to Will?
Mike isn’t looking at him. He’s staring hard at his cards as if he hasn’t seen them before, biting his inner cheek, and accentuating his dimple. As Will looks closer, he notices the pink shade spreading over the shell of Mike’s ear, the red emerging from the black curls like a rose sprouting from the earth.
Was Mike still nervous around him? Hadn’t they resolved that?
Will decides to test it. He leans onto the bed and rests a hand on Mike’s uninjured thigh, his thumb swiping side to side over the covers, and waits.
Mike's leg twitches into his hand, and barely a moment passes before the beeps speed up again, a rapid climb from steady to sprinting, and when Will looks, the blush has spread to Mike’s cheeks, his eyes unmoving and glued to his cards.
Oh. Will gapes at the monitor, the green spiking line. That's not discomfort.
Oh. He can have some fun with this.
Or: Mike, while protecting Will, gets attacked by a demogorgon. Guilt-ridden, Will stays with him in the hospital, forcing them to resolve the awkward air that has surrounded them for months, and, along the way, uncover some truths.
