more about how i'm imagining these:
1. howl hires michael to run errands for his weird startup and pretty soon 50% of his job is keeping howl from committing tax fraud
2. grad student and high school student who are roommates for some reason
3. howl rents out a room of his house to michael but never charges rent and michael doesn't know if he's just forgetting or doing it on purpose but he deals with so many angry aunts on howl's behalf that it's probably even
4. howl was not planning on adopting a kid and michael frankly had some reservations but it means a lot to them
5. michael is interested in studying the same topic that howl is doing his phd in and gets assigned to shadow him and howl is like oh cool i have a minion
6. see above but at a job
7. they just vibe against all odds
