Summary
And despite this, he will gather the pages and leaf through them. Read the words he didn’t want to think about during the daytime; half-scribbled confessions and outbursts and meltdowns, memories and stray thoughts and promises that he’d nearly forgotten to keep.
Skip through them after the first few, skim the bottom of the pages in a move just like El’s, see what she always wanted to see: Love, Mike scrawled at the bottom of every page.

Summary
The D&D set is still open, the last campaign still unplayed, unfinished. Will’s campaign. He’s not going to touch it. It can stay there. It’s not like the basement has ever been tidy.
Mike drops on the couch and he feels miserable but he can’t leave. Something keeps him anchored to that place and he figures that, even if one of the most important pieces of it is now gone, the memories are still there and he can live in them.
That, somehow, makes sense in his mind.or
The Byers just left Hawkins and Mike has a hard time moving on.

“-William Byers?”
WHAT?
Mike is frozen in place, as he scans the small-ish lecture hall. This cannot be a coincidence.
Then he hears a very quiet, “Here.”
And his eyes zero in so fast he’s amazed they’re still in his head.
Will. Fucking. Byers.After not speaking at all in high school, Will and Mike end up at the same college. Only problem? Everyone forgot to tell them. Classic Byler arguing and (hopefully soon to be classic) getting together ensue.
A/N i am aware that 24 chapters seems a little insane but i swear to you they are just brief fragments i couldn't bear to consolidate courtesy of adhd

Best Friends Ex Friends Till The End (Better Off as Lovers) by Littlemissdirtbag29

Summary
There wasn’t much noise in the basement usually especially on a friday afternoon, except maybe the creeks of a house built long ago.
Except for now, you could hear the muffled groans of two boys. Sounds of desperation, of longing, and of letting go of fears long held since childhood. Fears of a father with two flying fists and a mouth full of slurs to hurl at a boy who barely came up to his hip. A boy who didn’t even know the meaning of the words his father threw at him, just for being sensitive, for being kind, for being himself.

Summary
Mike shudders as Will takes his hand, ever since he’d been disconnected from the hive mind, Will’s always been warmer. Even though that was something they both shared—having abnormally cold body temperatures, Mike felt like the whole thing was a road trip together that had quickly turned into a solo ride once Will hopped out of the car midway. And the music blasting on the speakers morphed into something morbid, reflecting the words uttered in the back of his mind. But even now, in the cold of the Upside Down, Will remained warm. So, very warm.
Or,
Between fighting his own personal battles, Mike finds himself losing the one thing that he didn’t even know could be taken away: his humanity. Once truth forcefully reveals itself in the face of his best friend, Mike fights to understand all these new challenges, while also navigating his deepest secrets.

Summary
"There has gotta be a better way to do this. That was awful," Mike said, turning to Will, voice hoarse and deeper than usual. Will continued rubbing Mike's back as he thought about Mike's words.
Will did know of a better way, but he was certain they shouldn't do it.
"Will?" Mike began, eyes flitting between Will's, causing Will's eyes to snap to his. "What? Is there actually a better way?"
Will hesitated at the inquiry. "Yeah- Yeah, sorry, but we can't do it."
"Why not?" Mike asked, looking confused, keeping his eyes locked onto Will's.
Will averted his eyes. "It might be too weird. It's kinda… intimate?" Will said, making it sound almost like a question.
Mike nodded thoughtfully, thinking about it for a moment before saying, "We can do it anyway, if you want. I don't mind. I trust you, Will."
or
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers get high together, but things go a little south.
